00:00Twenty women are going to enter this. Only one will leave victorious.
00:03Everyone competing for a championship match at Clash in Paris.
00:07Who has what it takes to be the last one standing in the ring?
00:09It's every woman for themselves.
00:11We're getting set for the Evolution Battle of Royal.
00:15But before we get to that, Wade, we're going to head to Monday Night Raw tomorrow night.
00:18A couple hours down the road on I-20 in Birmingham, Alabama.
00:22And a massive, massive matchup.
00:24It is a gauntlet match to determine who faces Gunther for the World Championship at SummerSlam.
00:33CM Punk, Jey Uso, L.A. Knight, Penta, Braun Breaker.
00:38Who's going to run the gauntlet?
00:39L.A. Knight and company set for the matchup tomorrow night.
00:43An opportunity to face Gunther at SummerSlam.
00:46Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a Battle Royal in which the winner will receive
01:03a championship match at Clash in Paris.
01:08Introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona, WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella!
01:36Nikki Bella on the Today Show last week talked about returning to WWE.
01:43She said it's, quote, part of a new era for me.
01:47A piece of me I need to find, and I want to do that in the ring.
01:52Nikki Bella says she wants to prove something to herself now and not to everyone else.
01:59Soaking up the adulation, welcome back, Nikki Bella.
02:10Known this woman since the early days of Florida Championship Wrestling back in 2007.
02:19Can she do the unthinkable tonight and earn herself a World Championship opportunity?
02:24Chelsea.
02:24Two, two, three, four, five, five, six, six, seven, seven, seven, eight.
02:29Accompanyed by the secret service from Victoria B.C., Chelsea Green!
02:40Wade, what's interesting about this is all three of these women are in this battle royal.
02:46Well, it has been a great day for Chelsea FC.
02:51They just won the World Club Cup against Paris Saint Germain.
02:56And can the woman that the team were named after, Chelsea Green,
03:00alongside her secret, Hervis, go one better and get the job here tonight?
03:06I mean, you're right, goal three teaming up against the rest of the field.
03:11What happens?
03:12They have to have a major advantage.
03:13Yeah, but what if it comes down to these three?
03:15Do you think that Alba and Piper are actually going to allow Chelsea to win?
03:19Yeah, that's when the cool rank is the boss.
03:21That's how it works.
03:22You used to be my boss.
03:23You used to make me do all the donkey work.
03:25Not anymore.
03:26Things have changed, right, Michael Cole?
03:28We're at Equals now.
03:30And you pay the bar tab.
03:33That's the price you pay to hang out with Wade Barron, okay?
03:37You used to make me do all the money.
03:38You used to be my boss.
03:39You used to be my boss.
03:40You're my boss.
03:51And you just continue for the Battle Royal.
03:52Candice LeRae.
04:14The ring filling up with WWE superstars for
04:18a battle royal in which the winner gets a world title opportunity at Clash in Paris.
04:37From San Diego, California, Nia Jax.
04:43You know, Wade, back in 2018, at the very first evolution,
04:46Nia Jax won the women's battle royal.
04:50Can she do it again tonight and earn a championship opportunity?
04:53I mean, she's automatically installed as my favorite.
04:57Too strong for the field, but add to that her body.
05:01The poison pixie Candice LeRae apparently by her side.
05:05Candice LeRae sometimes with DIY hit tonight.
05:09Realigning with Nia Jax, that has to be the pig.
05:12That's the woman the rest of the field needs to watch out for.
05:16And this one.
05:17From San Fernando, Chile, Stephanie, the King.
05:19From San Fernando, Chile, Stephanie, the King.
05:22From San Fernando, Chile, Stephanie, the King.
05:43You know, Wade, almost one year to the day Stephanie McCair made her debut in WWE.
05:58And what a career she's had so far.
06:01NXT Women's Champion, NXT North America's Champion,
06:04only woman to hold those two titles at the same time.
06:07Of course, now a member of the Monday Night Raw roster and
06:10a golden opportunity here tonight to perhaps earn a world title opportunity.
06:14And you missed the most important part,
06:16a lot of woman's heads have gone bouncy, bouncy over the past 12 months.
06:21Thanks to Bakur, if that happens tonight, the roof is coming off this place.
06:25The devil's kiss.
06:26Bouncy, bouncy.
06:27So that's what you call it.
06:30From Tokyo, Japan, she is the WWE Women's United Stand Champion, Julia.
06:51First on the scene around the same time as Stephanie McCair.
06:54Took over NXT, won the championship.
06:56Now she's the United States Champion, dominating Friday night SmackDown.
07:00Julia is a joy to watch.
07:02Yeah, came into WWE with a huge global reputation, well earned.
07:08That reputation seems to grow week by week, as does the trophy cabinet.
07:14We've got one right here, the United States Championship.
07:17You mentioned we could add to that very soon with victory here tonight.
07:22And progress through to Clash in Paris.
07:27Again, the rules of the Battle Royal.
07:29You go over the top rope, both feet hit the floor, you are eliminated.
07:34The last woman in the ring, or an opportunity, the world title.
07:37Clash, Paris, the end of August.
07:40Pretty lucky now that women have aligned themselves here.
07:43They seem to have aligned themselves with an NXT corner,
07:46there's a SmackDown corner, and there's a Raw corner.
07:49We may have three separate factions here.
07:52Well, familiar already, of course, friendships.
07:55And now we're underway, Battle Royal.
07:59Any type of strategy, Wade, for this type of thing?
08:01Keep away from Nia Jax and Tatum Paxley.
08:04And look at Nia Jax.
08:05You simply didn't get the memo in time.
08:09Nia eliminated Tatum Paxley.
08:11She's now eliminated, Izzy Dame.
08:13Nia Jax, who holds elimination records in the women's Royal Wumble,
08:17is always dominant in these kind of events.
08:19Well, two NXT superstars thrown out earlier.
08:22Now, two other NXT superstars, Kalani Jordan and Jada Parker,
08:27trying to team up against Nia Jax.
08:30Best leaving that to someone else, ladies.
08:32And Kalani Jordan now on the apron, knocked into a.
08:36The NXT women, Izzy Dame and Tatum Paxley, who were eliminated.
08:39Now Jordan's feet have not touched the floor here.
08:41Technically, she is still legal.
08:43Yeah, she's on our announce table.
08:45I mean, you're kind of stuck on an island now, Kalani.
08:47It might be night over.
08:49Not sure if Kalani can make the jump to the apron.
08:51No, Jax, not without a run up.
08:54Tremendous athlete, we know all about her, former North American champion.
08:57I mean, she's trying to be creative there.
09:01At the barricade behind us, and Kalani trying to figure out what she needs to do here.
09:05This is where you need to study your Kofi Kingston tapes ahead of this kind of matchup.
09:09Yeah, the way Kofi has survived the Royal Rumble over the years.
09:11Meanwhile, the Battle Royal continues inside the ring.
09:14Jada Parker, what a powerhouse she is, have my eye on her.
09:17Look at Kalani Jordan now, Kalani was a gymnast, remember, at Michigan State.
09:22And she's showing off now, her feet haven't touched the floor.
09:26Kalani now, feet under the bottom rope, great core strength, pulls herself back in.
09:31To the Battle Royal, what a performance by Kalani Jordan.
09:36Nice job, Kalani.
09:38Rare skill set and using it to full effect to stay alive.
09:42And now, down goes Lola Vice.
09:44Man, it would be a huge shock if one of the NXT women pull this off.
09:49But my pick of them all has to be Lash Legend.
09:52She is going to the top in this industry.
09:55She's been superb at NXT.
09:59And you're getting a little taste of that right now, Ivy Nile.
10:01You're calling cameras out of here for our director Lee.
10:04Great shot of Lash Legend in her power moments ago.
10:07And now, Nia Jax, speaking of power, goes right after Lash Legend.
10:10Nia has been so dominating over the years.
10:13I'll tell you right now, powerful women do not like other powerful women.
10:17I mean, that's how it works in the game of WWE.
10:21And now, Nia Jax is trying to sweep out Lash Legend before she gets any kind of momentum here.
10:32Now, look at Stephanie Vakere with a headbutt to Ivy Nile in the corner.
10:37Chad Gable made a point before he went out with injury to tell Ivy Nile to take out Stephanie Vakere.
10:42And that appears to be what Ivy's trying to do here.
10:44Well, Nile is about as aggressive a superstar as I've ever seen.
10:47Pitbull by name, Pitbull by nature.
10:49But whoa, left herself hanging there as a belt to get dragged out.
10:54Riva Kerr with that arm bar.
10:56And look at Julia, big smile on her face.
10:58The opportunity to eliminate Ivy Nile, and she does.
11:01Don't turn your back on Nikki Bella.
11:05Nikki Bella is in the main event of the first revolution.
11:09Ronda Rousey, back in 2018, she returns to the scene tonight for an opportunity at a championship perhaps.
11:16Got to tap into those Hall of Fame credentials, does Nikki Bella to try and get some momentum here.
11:22Interesting stare off now between the United States Champion Julia, Stephanie Vakere.
11:27Told you about their relationship over the past year in WWE.
11:31Really do not like each other, both billed as the future.
11:35Pretty much entered at the same time as you mentioned.
11:38And Stephanie now with a forearm to Julia.
11:40Yes, Stephanie!
11:43Exchanging blows in the middle of the ring, headbutt by Julia.
11:46And by Vakere.
11:49So difficult with so many bodies fighting around you to try and get some space.
11:54Headbutts, both women still on their feet.
11:58Scrambling, the brains of one another here.
12:00No one seemingly getting in the back of the ring.
12:03Nice suplex by Stephanie.
12:04That changed quickly, didn't it?
12:08And Nikki Bella now getting involved.
12:11Goes after Vakere.
12:13Let's go!
12:17That's with Natalya in there putting the-
12:19You're gonna get your wish, I think.
12:20Here we go.
12:21Hope Booker T's watching.
12:23Went for the devil's kiss.
12:25Whoa!
12:26And Chelsea Green breaking things up.
12:29I love Chelsea, but that was an error, Chelsea.
12:32Nobody wanted that.
12:34All right, trying to complete disrespect to Nikki Bella.
12:38Nikki now double leg takedown, mounts and pounds.
12:41And now the secret purpose for Chelsea Green get involved, and now a triple team on Nikki.
12:46The wow oil machine is the secret of this.
12:51Well, we're gonna save Nikki Bella.
12:52Might need a little more oil after that one.
12:55And in Maxine.
12:56And bodies are dropping now, hopes are fading for certain women here who cannot pick themselves up.
13:05Maxine Dupre.
13:08So much better than Otis' version.
13:10Much better.
13:12And now the elbow delivered.
13:14Maxine has been training in Natalya and Tyson Kidd's dungeon.
13:19Not sure what that was all about.
13:24No.
13:25Now Natalya gonna do one of her own.
13:27Stop it, Natalya, you're a technician.
13:29Now Kalani Jordan going after the most winningest woman in the WWE, Natalya.
13:38Big discus clothesline there for Natalya about to power out the young up-and-comer.
13:44And now from behind, Jada Parker eliminates Natalya.
13:49The two sides to Natalya, the helper and the decimator.
13:54And now Maxine upset over the fact that Jada Parker eliminated her mentor Natalya.
14:00And I would not bite many women in a slugfest against Jada Parker.
14:04This is one powerful woman.
14:06Jada, to your point, looking to just lift up and dump Maxine over the top rope.
14:12A real mean streak.
14:14There's Jada Parker.
14:16And Owen off the apron and eliminated is Maxine.
14:20And now Jada Parker looking to eliminate Candice LeRae.
14:23Nice one, Jada Parker.
14:25Jada Parker, you gotta pounce when you get the opportunity in this game.
14:28But that veteran wilds of Candice LeRae keeping her in this one.
14:32Jada Parker now knocks Michelle.
14:34Candice Michelle.
14:36Candice LeRae, you're doing it again.
14:38Always do that.
14:39It is evolution.
14:41She is gonna kill you.
14:45She was so upset this time.
14:46I knew she told me that last time.
14:48And now look at Secret Hermes.
14:51All the long back attack in stereo.
14:54He's having mission.
14:55Get up here.
15:00You're a disgrace, you know that, Michael Cole.
15:02And dumped out Jada Parker.
15:05Well, two on one is always gonna give you the advantage in this kind of game.
15:10A nice effort, though, from NXT's Jada Parker.
15:13But Kalani Jordan, still in this one, for the black and gold brand.
15:18Nia Jax.
15:19Spoke too soon, no, I didn't.
15:21Kalani up to the apron, and Candice Michelle, who was eliminated in the match.
15:25But again, no disqualifications, and Kalani Jordan has been eliminated.
15:30You didn't say Candice LeRae, please, you said Candice LeRae, didn't you?
15:34I did, Candice LeRae.
15:35I put my wits and, nice one, Lash Legend dropping, Nia Jax, what a statement that is.
15:43And rolling out under the bottom rope, whilst Nia Jax are technically, of course,
15:47not eliminated there.
15:50Referees got their eyes on that one.
15:52Zelina Vega looking for Code Red against Julia, the woman who took the United States
15:55Championship from her.
15:56Backslide now on the apron.
15:58A dangerous place to fight it out in a battle, or one slip, and it's all over,
16:02or one knee to the jaw.
16:04And it might be all over, but Vega hanging on here.
16:08But a great few weeks for Zelina Vega losing that United States Championship.
16:12That you mentioned, it might be about to get worse.
16:15Julia looking to put Zelina away, Zelina on the apron.
16:18Bounce off the post, Julia trying to hang on.
16:21Bring it on by her fingertips.
16:23And Zelina Vega eliminates the United States Women's Champion.
16:27Little bit of payback for Miss Vega there.
16:31Our anime aficionado.
16:35Set your heart ablaze, Zelina.
16:37And now B-Fab and Piper Niven going after each other.
16:40Nobody home is Piper.
16:45Heads into the corner.
16:46B-Fab now with a big kick.
16:48Uh-oh, Piper dumping B-Fab out of the match.
16:51And this is starting to get dangerous for all of the women in this matchup,
16:56aside from Chelsea and The Secret Herbis.
16:58Well, Meechan was eliminated on the other side of the ring.
17:00Meechan is out.
17:01She was eliminated.
17:03Meechan now trying to eliminate Chelsea Green.
17:05Albafire just sacrificed herself.
17:08No, no, no.
17:09She went through the middle row.
17:11But Albafire is still legal.
17:13Exactly right.
17:14Saving the head, Chelsea Green.
17:18That was a great move by Albafire.
17:21Saving Chelsea Green, did not go over the top rope.
17:24Pays you to know the rules of this kind of match and use them to your advantage.
17:28That's exactly what Albafire did there.
17:30Tough in the heat of the bathroom.
17:33Oh, what a showdown this is.
17:35Yeah, Lash Legend and Zelina Vega.
17:37Huge size differential.
17:38Like a bumblebee against the Rhino, and the Rhino is winning.
17:42Lash trying to eliminate Zelina Vega.
17:44Zelina now, though, trying to turn the tables.
17:46Lash in trouble, trying to hang on.
17:49Lash is just too strong.
17:51What a perfectly built athlete.
17:53Lash Legend is.
17:56The WNBA standout.
17:58Pressing Zelina Vega.
18:01And Zelina's eliminated.
18:07Now Piper and Chelsea working together, going after Lash Legend,
18:10as the field begins to thin out.
18:12Yeah, this is when you really start targeting the biggest threats in the matchup.
18:16And clearly that threat at this moment in time is Lash Legend for no money.
18:21Chelsea in her secret-
18:23Salute, stand up and salute.
18:25For what?
18:26Oh, and from behind, Albafire dumped out by Nikki Bella.
18:30You never attack somebody who is saluting Chelsea Green.
18:34That was a cheap shot by Nikki Bella.
18:38Watch and learn!
18:40Watch and learn!
18:41You accept for it!
18:42Chelsea Green saying watch and learn as she mocks Nikki Bella now.
18:47Watching Lola Vice.
18:49Nikki used to do that.
18:50So does Lola Vice currently.
18:52And here she is.
18:53She did not take it kindly.
18:55And now Chelsea Green with roll up on her shoulders.
19:00And now Chelsea Green doing squats.
19:02A workout.
19:05Oh, and a spear by Nikki.
19:14There you go.
19:15Get in there, Cole.
19:16Show them what you can do.
19:17Shake those hips.
19:18You do it in the ball often enough.
19:20My hips don't look like that as Piper Niven blast through Nikki Bella and Lola Vice.
19:25Hips don't lie, do they, Michael Cole?
19:27And neither does Piper Niven when she says she's gonna get in that ring and cause some chaos.
19:31The powerhouse.
19:32Lola Vice on the apron trying to hang on to this matchup.
19:35Lola's got those MMA credentials.
19:37I don't know if I-
19:38And a headbutt Lola's out.
19:40That is illegal in MMA, but not here in this background.
19:43And now Stephanie and Nikki Bella looking to eliminate Piper Niven, and in they go.
19:47And now Chelsea Green is all along without the secret
19:53Herbert Hervis.
19:56And it's-
19:57Oh!
19:59Hold on.
20:00Hold on!
20:00Hold on!
20:01Hold on!
20:03We are going bouncy, bouncy!
20:06It's the Devils cast by Stephanie McKerr!
20:08Who needs Bukety when you've got an entire arena doing it for you?
20:18Nia.
20:20Nikki Bella, Chelsea up top, goodnight Chelsea!
20:26And Chelsea Green eliminated.
20:31And Nia from behind.
20:32Nia who got knocked out of the ring under the bottom rope a little earlier.
20:37Yeah, that's more like it.
20:38Best one yet.
20:42Nia Jax with Nikki into the corner.
20:44Nia Jax irate that she lost her championship earlier this year.
20:49Oh, great Hurricane Lana by Nikki Bella taking out Nia.
20:52Nikki looks great in the ring.
20:53Nikki looks absolutely fantastic.
20:56Has not missed a step, but can she get this one finished up?
20:59I don't think so, the way this is looking.
21:01On the apron now, Nikki trying to drag Nia Jax over the top rope.
21:03Not sure how this is gonna work out, but maybe it will.
21:06Choke her out in the process, whoa, whoa.
21:08Lash Legend eliminates Nikki Bella.
21:12Wasn't the woman she was aiming for.
21:15And we are down to three.
21:19Lash, Nia, Stephanie.
21:22And interesting enough, all three brands, NXT, Raw and SmackDown,
21:28are represented in the final three of the Battle Royal.
21:31Man, pick a winner from here, how good is Lash Legend?
21:36Look at Legend and the power, the power of Legend, trying to eliminate Nia Jax.
21:40My God, Stephanie from behind as well, Nia on the apron.
21:45What a feat of strength there from Lash Legend, and now it's two on one.
21:49Lash Legend, Stephanie McCair, trying to eliminate Nia Jax, who's trying to hang on,
21:55who's trying to survive, big kick by Legend.
21:57God, that was impressive from Lash, can she finish the trap?
22:00And now using Stephanie McCair as a weapon, Nia still hanging on.
22:04And that Jax is eliminated, and we're down to Stephanie and Lash.
22:09The favorite is out of here.
22:26Oh, and Lash with a big kick, you can hear the explosion in this place.
22:29Oh, those legs so long, so difficult to evade.
22:32And now the power of Lash Legend comes to the fore.
22:36One of these two women, gonna earn a world title opportunity at Clash in Paris.
22:40Will it be McCair?
22:41Will it be Legend?
22:42Somebody could pick up the biggest winner of their career here tonight, 619 by McCair.
22:47Someone taking their career to new heights imminently.
22:51Stephanie's gotta get back in the ring, springboard off the top,
22:53lost by Lash Legend.
22:55The powerhouse Legend marching around the ring with Stephanie McCair.
22:59And Lash is the absolute best, isn't she?
23:02And now Stephanie over the top rope, Legend over the top rope as well.
23:07Legend got that grip strength, that wrist caught up there in the ropes.
23:11Yeah, trying to hang on here, both women on the apron.
23:13Lash is getting choked out by those legs though.
23:15Stephanie McCair doing what she can on the apron now, devil's kiss to Legend.
23:25Legend eliminated, Stephanie McCair is going to Paris.
23:32Here is your winner, Stephanie McCair.
23:44Well, that was the greatest battle I may have ever seen.
23:48And currently, Michael Cole is getting assaulted by Nia Jax.
23:52He's getting forced better drink at ringside, but let's not take the attention away.
23:57From Stephanie McCair, who went bouncy, bouncy with that devil's kiss.
24:02And exactly the right moment against Lash Legend, who was phenomenal tonight.
24:07And I cannot wait till we see more of her on Raw and SmackDown.
24:11This is the moment Nikki Bella got booted out by Lash Legend,
24:16just as she was working over Nia Jax, an incredible, welcome to the big time Lash Legend,
24:23with this maneuver, ousting Nia Jax with a display of sheer power, assisted by Stephanie McCair.
24:33And shortly, we will be down 2-2.
24:40They came down to McCair and Legend, and on the devil's kiss, Stephanie McCair punches her ticket
24:47to the biggest match of her career at Clash in Paris.
24:53Let's go up to Stephanie McMahon.
24:55Stephanie McCair, congratulations on an incredible victory, an incredible performance.
25:07And I have to ask you, and please bear with me, I'm gonna try to ask you in Spanish,
25:11what does this victory mean for you?
25:24I've left my soul in the ring, I've left everything to achieve my dream,
25:30and now I'm here in my house, in WWE, and I'm going to keep dominating!
25:41This, this is difficult for me, English is not my first language.
25:49But wrestling, wrestling is my first language.
25:59And I need to say thank you.
26:03And every woman before me and before us,
26:10because for that reason, now we can make history.
26:17Thank you, every woman made their way for tonight.
26:24Evolution is a big show, and this experience in my career is amazing.
26:31And I promise, I promise, I will keep working hard, because I promise,
26:43I promise, you will remember my name forever.
26:48Because I am the first Stephanie McCair.
26:57Ladies and gentlemen, your 2025 Evolution Battle Royal winner, Stephanie McCair!
27:06Stephanie's going to Paris at the end of August for an opportunity at a world title.
27:12Congratulations to the Battle Royal winner, Stephanie McCair.
27:20What a first year in WWE.
27:22Wrestling is Stephanie McCair's first language.
27:27She has displayed a Shakespearean level grasp of it over the past 12 months.
27:32And that does not bode well for the rest of the women's locker room,
27:37especially whomever her opponent may be at Clash in Paris.
27:42Congratulations to Stephanie McCair.
27:53Hey, I need a favor.
27:55Can you watch my back when I go back and apologize to Candice LeRae?
27:59You're in big trouble tonight.
