WWE Main Event April 5, 2025: Full Match Card Preview

While WWE often keeps Main Event’s match card under wraps until the last minute, insider sources and recent WWE programming have given us a strong idea of what to expect. Here’s a look at the confirmed and rumored matches for this week’s show:

1. Ricochet vs. Bronson Reed – High-Flying vs. Powerhouse Collision

Preview: Two of WWE’s most dynamic competitors go head-to-head in what could be a show-stealer. Ricochet, the human highlight reel, will need every ounce of his speed and agility to evade the crushing offense of Bronson Reed.

Prediction: Ricochet wins via a 630 Senton after countering Reed’s Tsunami splash.

2. Zoey Stark vs. Indi Hartwell – Women’s Division Showcase

Preview: With the Women’s Tag Team titles heating up, both Stark and Hartwell are looking to prove they belong in the singles division. Stark’s hard-hitting style vs. Hartwell’s technical prowess makes this a must-watch.

Prediction: Zoey Stark secures the win with her Z-360 finisher, but Indi gains respect in a hard-fought battle.

3. Cedric Alexander vs. Apollo Crews – Battle of the Underrated Stars

Preview: Two of WWE’s most underutilized talents finally get a chance to shine. Expect flawless athleticism and near-falls that will leave fans on the edge of their seats.

Prediction: Apollo Crews picks up the win with a Spinning Sit-Out Powerbomb, but Cedric’s performance earns him future opportunities.

4. The Creed Brothers (Julius & Brutus) vs. Los Lotharios (Angel & Humberto) – Tag Team Showdown

Preview: Pure strength meets high-flying agility in this tag team clash. The Creeds have been dominant in NXT, and now they’re looking to make an impact on Main Event.

Prediction: The Creed Brothers win with the Brutus Ball, signaling their arrival as a force on the main roster.

Potential Surprises & Backstage Rumors

  • WrestleMania Fallout: With WrestleMania 41 just around the corner, could we see a surprise appearance from a returning superstar?
  • NXT Call-Ups: Rumors suggest Carmelo Hayes or Trick Williams could make an appearance.

Very good show

March 11, 2025

I think his Ic run being so long hurt him as a credible world champion. It’s like he fought all the same guys and crushed them for a mid card belt now we are supposed to believe they are an actual challenge to him as a world champion? Lol when they took the intercontinental title off of him they should have moved him to SmackDown and put a new list of challengers in front of him. And moved Cody and the WWE championship to raw

Ezra

Very good episode,

March 11, 2025

imagine being deluded enough to think a multi billion dollar company with guys who literally have wrestling in their blood hot shoted a heel turn storyline because they booked themselves into a corner. are you serious dude? that is the most ridiculous thing i have read in a minute lol. good luck bro.

Rowan

Great episode.

March 11, 2025

Punk/Cody was there for the taking and Cena could’ve gone up against Gunther.

They knee jerked a heel turn because they booked themselves into a nepotism corner

Hudson

Very good show

March 11, 2025

honestly don’t get the hate. like sure, there’s no major story here YET. But Punk/Rollins/Reigns has a lot of potential to be a high quality match. I’m legit looking forward to it and love that these three have wound up in a match together.

Willie

Great episode.

March 11, 2025

The triple threat match between them at Wrestlemania is gonna be awesome. Super stoked for this match

Gary

Great show

March 10, 2025

Let’s mention the women’s match in every live/hate challenge. Easiest task for this group of “journalists” ever. Each one of these love/hates are more embarrassing than the last. We get it, women’s wrestling is amazing and should main event every show and if a women’s match is bad it’s because where it is on the card or the booking it’s never the talent, all the women are top tier wrestlers.

Gerald

Very good show

March 10, 2025

You wanna find out who the real simps and shills are? Mark down anybody who defends that main event match! Even the diehard AEW fans are crapping on that main event. It was terrible.

This Moxley stuff is stinking out the entire show and the dude seems to think he is Brock Lesnar.

The sad part is that this wasn’t a terrible show overall and with all things taken into an account. But at the end of the day, a bad ending can ruin a whole show for a lot of people. “Game of Thrones season 8” style.

Frank

Great show

March 10, 2025

So the crux of it all is that the PLE started strong…then ended with a sour belch.

The fans most remember how you left them and the fans are going to remember this show with a resounding “bleh”!

And any casual fan who watched with their buddies who are more diehard fans, may have left the viewing saying aloud, “That guy was pretty good. He should go to WWE”.

Evelyn

Great show.

March 10, 2025

I’ve said before but I think one of the issues here is that Tony is a massive fan of NJPW and often looks to emulate their PPV card structure. NJPW cards typically build to a climax with the big matches back to back and tend not to feature cool down matches or spots. Problem is western audiences haven’t been conditioned for that over the last 40 years, so often results in burnout. Personally I would have laid out the card like below giving breathing spaces, opening with the Steel Cage match and building to the Hollywood Ending as the main event.

Storm vs. May

Mox vs. Cope

Hangman vs. MJF

Hurt Syndicate vs. Outrunners

Takeshita vs. Omega

Swerve vs. Ricochet

Okada vs. King

Mone vs. Watanabe

Ospreay vs. Fletcher

Willie

Great episode.

March 10, 2025

Very good show, but the ending is what people remember. WWE ended Elimination Chamber with a huge heel turn. AEW ended Revolution with that abominable ending.

it doesn’t totally undo a great show, but it might have done more harm than good.

Christian

Very good show

March 10, 2025

I can already see Trips the mark statues, Trips the mark with a 20 minutes speech, the camera focusing onTrips the mark every 30 seconds when he is on the crowd.

Oliver

Great show.

March 10, 2025

I’m glad they are bringing it back to a nice venue. The idea of hosting it immediately after Smackdown is insane. Why not put a highlight show or broadcast the Hall of Fame instead of airing Smackdown that week.

Noah

April 24, 2024

Really don’t like that it’s the Women’s NXT North American Championship. Besides being an awkward mouthful, it’s too derivative of Men’s midcard title.
