WWE Main Event results: Hype Bros make their main roster debut
The theme song for Main Event remains unchanged post-brand split. No need to worry though, as the superstars featured in the intro reflect the SmackDown brand only.
Mojo Rawley makes his main roster in-ring debut as one half of the Hype Bros to kick off Main Event, seemingly killing off some of the momentum his partner, Zack Ryder, has been gaining as a singles wrestler since WrestleMania. We’ll see.

Hot Tags™ don’t come any hotter than they come with Rawley. He hypes all over English, tossing him, punching him, clotheslining him. Until he goes too far and English kicks him in the gut. But before long, Rawley is back to his original hype level and he’s off tackling and running around again.
In all the confusion, Gotch, who is not the legal man, is taken out in the corner just long enough for Ryder, also not the legal man, to neutralize him with a Broski Boot.
Rawley tags in Ryder and they hit the Hype Rider. Ballgame.
