WWE Main Event Review - May 9, 2024

By Graham "GSM" Matthews

Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn def. Katana Chance and Kayden Carter

Although I was in attendance for this taping, I actually used this as an opportunity (once the entrances were over) to go grab a cookie, and it was over before I got back to my seat. Oops. Watching it back on Hulu, this was a nice match. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise given the history they have from NXT and even on the main roster from earlier this year. I'd like to see Fyre get a chance as a singles star on Raw after Becky Lynch mentioned on Raw that she's the longest-reigning women's champion in WWE's modern era (referring to her NXT UK Women's Championship reign). The stuff with Dawn feels like a dead end.

New Catch Republic def. The Creed Brothers

New Catch Republic are also new to the Raw brand. Despite the babyface vs. babyface dynamic, the crowd was into the action and they had a fun, well-worked match. Both teams are talented and I want to see them in the mix for the World Tag Team Championship soon, but that might be unlikely with current champs Awesome Truth also being babyfaces. That's why the Creeds need to turn heel and link up with Chad Gable as soon as possible.

Overall Show

JBL filled in for Road Dogg on commentary last week, and this week it was The Miz. He actually came out in between the women's entrances, so I thought for a split second Awesome Truth would act as if they were facing Chance and Carter. R-Truth showed up a little later on. It was a tag team-themed show this week and it was solid. Getting some fresh faces on Main Event is always appreciated.
