WWE Main Event results: Natalya vs. Nikki Cross, Ricochet vs. Riddick Moss

This week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, before Monday’s episode of Raw.

Another good couple of matches on Main Event made this a watchable show yet again this week. Canadian crowds do seem to make this show better.

Ricochet defeated Riddick Moss (5:43)

This was all the better for the crowd liking the match and, particularly, Ricochet who continues to be wasted on Main Event.

Another week, another Ricochet match and another time where you can’t help but feel that he’s being a) wasted and b) that people in the company must be deaf when they hear the reaction he gets.

Moss was back on the show here for the first time in a few weeks, no longer flanked by Emma and looking as jacked as ever. It’s crazy to think that he was Madcap Moss back in April because this version suits him way more.

Moss pretty much took Ricochet out from the bell, using lots of big power moves and allowing Ricochet to look plucky and seem like he was fighting his way out of a corner all the time.

Moss hit his SOS slam for a near fall and a fallaway slam before trying for a suplex. Ricochet fought out of it, hitting the Recoil. 

His standing shooting star press, followed by an enzuigiri and Sliced Bread, got it done in the end to leave the fans happy in a solid curtain jerker.

Natayla defeated Nikki Cross (7:36)

This was a good match here, but nothing too remarkable. The crowd loved Natalya which made it have a way bigger feel that it would have had otherwise.

Two matches in two weeks on Main Event for Natalya and with the kinds of reaction she gets in front of home crowds, you would have thought they would have at least put her on the dark match after Raw went off air.

Regardless, she and Cross worked well together here, but as I said last week, Natalya’s matches have largely just become about her trying to find a way to win with the Sharpshooter...and I’m fine with that.

Cross has been used as a safe pair of hands on Main Event this year, up against the likes of Tegan Nox, Cora Jade and Kayden Carter, so it was interesting to see her up against a grizzled vet this week.

They did a bit of comedy and then ended up on the outside with Cross nailing Natalya with a shoulder barge tackle to head into the commercial break.

We then had a couple of chin locks from Cross after the break, but the crowd was into supporting Natalya trying to fight her away out. She did just that and fired up with her familiar moveset before using a stiff looking clothesline to try to get Cross in position for the Sharpshooter.

Cross got out of the hold quickly and threw Natalya into the corner. She used a neckbreaker for two and then took forever to go up to the top rope -- so much so that she missed the splash. Natalya was then able to lock in her finisher to get the submission win.
