A WWE Main Event Recap: The Rise of the Underdogs (February 12, 2026)
Get ready for an action-packed recap of this week's WWE Main Event, where the underdogs stole the show! With three matches in just over 36 minutes, this episode had us on the edge of our seats.
No Joy in Creedville
We kick things off with a main event that left us questioning the mood of Julius Creed. The LWO's Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde faced off against The Creed Brothers, and it was clear that something was amiss.
Brutus, the other Creed Brother, brought the intensity, but Julius seemed distant. The highlight of the match? Wilde's attempt at a senton dive, only to be caught and powerbombed by the Creeds. Brutus's roar was intense, but Julius's cold glare told a different story.
As the match progressed, Julius's actions spoke volumes. He shoved Wilde off the ropes, allowing Brutus to capitalize. And just like that, the Creeds secured their first victory in months.
But here's where it gets controversial... After the win, Brutus celebrated, but Julius remained somber. Could this be a sign of internal strife within the team? Their recent losses against Alpha Academy and a lack of TV wins have taken a toll, especially on Julius.
Fire-Breathing Dragon: A Hot Opener
Grayson Waller and Dragon Lee delivered a high-energy opener that had the crowd buzzing. Waller looked ready for WrestleMania, while Lee had the fans eating out of his hand. The match had its awkward moments, like Waller's improvised back rake, but it also showcased some innovative moves.
One fan's persistent chant of "Grayson sucks" brought back memories of the infamous SoCal heckler. While Waller didn't engage, the crowd's energy was undeniable.
The finish was a whirlwind of counters, with Lee turning a Waller clothesline into a powerful sit-out powerbomb. But it was Waller's knee strike that sealed the deal, followed by Lee's double stomp and Operation Dragon for the pin.
Berto Cruises Past Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews brought his intense side to the ring, with a clear heel-face dynamic against Berto. Berto and his cousin, Angel Garza, oozed contempt, and the crowd ate it up. Crews delivered a powerful ten-punch combo, but Berto returned the favor, stopping at nine for extra heat.
Angel's distractions played a crucial role, keeping Berto in the game. Crews had victory within his grasp, but Angel's interference prevented the count. In a fit of frustration, Crews blasted Angel with a pump kick.
Berto seized the moment, catching Crews with a fireman's carry and a sit-out powerbomb to steal the win. It was a display of precision and opportunism.
Match of the Night: Berto vs. Crews
This match had all the elements of a classic babyface vs. heel bout. Berto's throwback moves, like the chinlock and abdominal stretch, added a nostalgic touch. But it was Berto who stole the show with his potential for a breakout performance.
At 30, Berto has time to grow, and with some promo sharpening or a strong mouthpiece, he could become a force to be reckoned with. Perhaps even a future face of AAA?
As we reflect on the night, our thoughts turn to Julius Creed. Their recent TV matches have been losses, and their appearance on Raw last month was a multi-team disappointment. But Brutus's commitment to his character shines through, offering a quirky highlight amidst the team's struggles.
What does the future hold for The Creed Brothers? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: WWE Main Event delivered an unforgettable night of wrestling!
