00:00To be
00:04Then
00:10Now
00:18Forever
00:30Together
00:34I'm a
00:44I'm a
00:46I'm a
00:48It is time ladies and gentlemen for WWE evolve on to be Peter Rosenberg Robert Stone are you ready for some adrenaline?
01:14The following contest is a tag team match introducing first Jack Cartwheel, Cappuccino Jones, Adrenaline Drew!
01:36Do you have your coffee stone?
01:38Yeah, my mind is still blown that people actually come here with coffee cups to support these guys and all they've been doing all week is talking about this match coming up.
01:46It's like by by beating Presley and Riggins they won the Super Bowl or something. It was one match. It was a fluke. Like calm down guys. We're in the rubber match right now.
01:55Stone, Stone. This is one of the most exciting young tag teams in all of wrestling. I can't believe you don't feel it. You're not impressed?
02:05I'm not saying they're not young. I'm not saying they're not exciting, great in the ring, whatever. I'm just saying you gotta win. It's a great thing. But relax. I mean they're showing off on all the social media like it was the main event of WrestleMania.
02:17WrestleMania. And their opponents, the team of Harley Riggins and Jax Presley.
02:24See, this is exactly why you need to be impressed.
02:27My! Now see, are you gonna condone that? The bell hasn't even rung yet.
02:32Well listen, this- What?
02:35See, they caught him.
02:38Wait a minute.
02:40Well listen, this rivalry stone has been intense. I'm not surprised. Adrenaline Drift wanted to get right after it.
02:46Is Jeremy Marcus letting this- Is the referee letting this happen?
02:50I don't think he has any choice. Chaos out of the gate here.
02:53Okay, now the bell's rung.
02:55What?
02:56Oh, but hold on.
02:59Cappuccino almost immediately found himself in a bad way.
03:03Quick tag. Already we are hot and heavy to get things started on Evolve.
03:08Hit him there with a steam roller.
03:11Look at that.
03:12Getting froggy.
03:14Jack Cartwheel going for a pin.
03:17And a kick out.
03:18I mean, I love their intensity from the get-go.
03:20It's what you gotta do.
03:21But I mean, you gotta follow the rules, fellas.
03:23Wait till the bell rings.
03:25Riggins and Presley are getting overwhelmed by offense early on from Adrenaline Drift.
03:33Now listen, Stone, you gotta give them credit though.
03:35Isn't this the approach you have to have if you're Adrenaline Drift?
03:38You have to follow rules.
03:40I mean, there's no doubt about it.
03:41You know what you've done now?
03:42You have upset the space cowboy, Jax Presley, even more.
03:45Because look at him.
03:47Now you have made this giant, this D1 stud even more mad.
03:51So was it a good plan?
03:53But hear me out, Stone.
03:54When you have this sort of disparity in size and power, don't you have to take advantage
03:59of anything you can if you're Adrenaline Drift?
04:01That's within the rules, Peter.
04:03Wait.
04:04Oh, no.
04:05It's funny how the rules come and go for you.
04:06Because with Vanity Project-
04:07No, no, no, no, no.
04:08Now you're talking about other people.
04:10We're talking about this match.
04:12And Cappuccino in a bad spot here.
04:15Here comes Riggins.
04:16Oh, watch out, Jack Cartwheel.
04:18And what's that?
04:19And what's that?
04:20That's deserved.
04:21That's what that is.
04:22Oh!
04:23Targeting!
04:24Backstabber there to Cappuccino and a good pin.
04:29And a kick out from Cappuccino at two.
04:32They each have one win.
04:34This is the rubber match.
04:35The WWE, the Evolve Universe wants it.
04:38Who is going to come out successful in this third bout, baby?
04:43I have enjoyed this rivalry quite a bit every Wednesday night
04:48between these very different styles.
04:51Oh, man.
04:52Right there, they're getting crushed.
04:54Cappuccino is.
04:55And there's a pin.
04:56Cappuccino will kick out at two.
04:58Cappuccino Jones having a rough go here to think.
05:02This is how he's chosen to celebrate National Cappuccino Day.
05:06Getting mugged by Jackson Harley.
05:08A sad thought here, Peter.
05:09Agreed, but that's not how you would do it, Scott?
05:12No, I rise and grind every morning, Peter.
05:14Not just what everyone else is doing.
05:16Of course you do.
05:18As Cappuccino gets the tag here, and here comes Cartwheel.
05:24Cartwheel is in.
05:25The West Coast Innovator with lots of slaps for Riggins and Presley.
05:30Oh, man.
05:31Watch out!
05:32He's explosive.
05:33He's impactful.
05:34I mean, he took both of them out.
05:35That was impressive.
05:36Jack Cartwheel feeling it early.
05:37Oh, man.
05:38Oh, now it's just a good old fashioned beatdown.
05:39Wow, I've never seen this side of Cartwheel.
05:40Interesting approach.
05:43Oh, and he caught him!
05:45Jack Cartwheel feeling it early.
05:47Oh, man.
05:48Oh, now it's just a good old-fashioned beatdown.
05:50Wow, I've never seen this side of Cartwheel.
05:53Interesting approach.
05:57Oh, and he caught him.
05:59A lot of authority there as he slammed Presley down to the mat.
06:05I think at this point in the game, Jack Cartwheel might be so upset.
06:09He might be making bad decisions.
06:11He connects right there, and Cappuccino's the legal man.
06:15Hits with the front of the elbow.
06:20Oh, so close.
06:22Cappuccino Jones inches from victory.
06:25Riggins comes and breaks it up, but watch out.
06:27Here comes Cartwheel.
06:29Oh, man.
06:30Precarious spot for Jack Cartwheel.
06:32Oh, my God.
06:33Throwing him around like he's just a little toy.
06:37In the hard way goes Jack Cartwheel,
06:39and now Cappuccino Jones finds himself alone in with both Riggins and Preston.
06:44Jeremy Marcus trying to get control, get the two legal guys in.
06:48More punches and punches there.
06:50Oh, my God.
06:50Cappuccino Jones.
06:52Bodies are flying before my eyes.
06:55I'm trying to just comprehend everything going on.
06:58We are just underway on Evolve on a Wednesday night.
07:03Wait a minute.
07:04Watch out.
07:05That's got to be it for Cappuccino Jones.
07:09Jack Cartwheel breaking things up.
07:12These guys are great in the ring.
07:13I don't know how smart they are.
07:15I almost would have wanted to stay down after that.
07:18Things breaking down here as Cartwheel's tossed outside of the ring,
07:21and Jax is following him out.
07:23Oh, man.
07:23Cartwheel's in a bad way on the outside right here.
07:28As he finds his way to the rope, he is lucky.
07:30Oh, my.
07:31A shoe's off.
07:32Oh, he just...
07:32Oh, come on.
07:33He lost the shoe and used it as a weapon.
07:36I mean, I guess if it's on your foot anyway, you could use it, but come on.
07:40Cappuccino diving to the outside.
07:42We got men everywhere.
07:43You know what, Stone?
07:46You're not wrong.
07:46The ref's got to get control of this thing.
07:49Right now, Harley Riggins has control of Cappuccino Jones.
07:53He catches him in midair.
07:54Watch out.
07:55Another chokes him.
07:56Wait, this time Cappuccino got out of it.
07:58And a big right hand from Cappuccino.
08:00And a second one as Riggins dazed it down.
08:03He gave him a shot of espresso.
08:06Legal man is Cartwheel.
08:07Wait a minute.
08:08Are they going for Flippin' Sip?
08:11They're going to try to.
08:12Not so fast.
08:13Look at the power of Harley Riggins.
08:15Let the bodies hit the floor.
08:19All right, now Presley, the legal man.
08:23Uh-oh.
08:23I don't like the position.
08:25Jack Cartwheel is in right now.
08:26Well, we've seen this.
08:30That's going to be it for Adrenaline Trip.
08:36Here are your winners.
08:37The team of Harley Riggins and Jax Presley.
08:42That was an incredible way to start off our night on Evolve.
08:47Well, from the very outset, action, action, action.
08:52But in the end, Presley and Riggins on top.
08:55Yeah, there was a lot on the line in this rubber match as both these teams were one and one going in.
09:00Cartwheel and Cappuccino did what they do best using their unique abilities to gain the momentum.
09:05But the quickly rising Riggins and Presley used their brutal power to decaffeinate Adrenaline Trip with a huge victory.
09:13Very impressive stuff from both teams.
09:17But I got to say, what are they doing?
09:23Riggins and Presley are back in the ring.
09:25Yeah, I mean, what are we?
09:27What are they doing?
09:29Another?
09:29Well, Peter, we know they're all about unsportsmanlike conduct.
09:34That's their thing.
09:35But I'm even saying that maybe that's a little too far.
09:38Hey, that's what they do.
09:39We eat, eat, eat, eat, break them in hand, bring us some little blessings.
09:43Bring us some little blessings.
09:45Yeah.
09:45You want some competition out there?
09:47Yeah.
09:47Riggins and Presley destroying everything in sight.
09:52That's how it goes.
09:53You want some water?
09:57My name is John Cena.
09:59I'm a kid who grew up in a small town in West Newberry.
10:01And I'm living the dream.
10:04The champ is here!
10:12My time is here!
10:15You can't see me.
10:16My time is here!
10:18My time is here!
10:28Before our next matchup, let's rewind to NXT last week where Women's Evolve champion
10:32Kendall Gray defended her friend, Ren Sinclair, in a fierce showdown with Last
10:36Legend, a clash that turned brutally physical in a hurt.
10:41And how much more did Kendall just get out of the way?
10:45What?
10:47Jumping right in, it's shades of gray!
10:48Into the cover!
10:50What?
10:51That's gotta be an upset!
10:53Are you kidding me?
10:55Wow!
10:56Here is your winner, and still, the Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!
11:07Kendall Gray retains as Gray continues to evolve.
11:13What a fantastic victory for Kendall Gray on NXT.
11:17The following contest is scheduled for OneFall.
11:24Introducing first, from Rockford, Illinois, Hayes Jameson!
11:31What's up, Evolve Nation?
11:35I am the wild child, Hayes Jameson.
11:38Some of you might know me from season two of LFG, but if you don't, you're officially invited
11:43to watch me bring the party to Evolve.
11:46One thing you're quickly gonna learn is that it doesn't matter who's taking their shot at me,
11:51because once I start slamming them, there is nothing that can slow me down.
11:57Let's go!
11:58Well, Hayes Jameson is certainly a party, a good time, good energy, and I'm sure she's hoping
12:04that can last with her matchup here tonight on Evolve Stone.
12:08Yep, party girl, but the party, it might end short tonight.
12:13And her opponent, from Seattle, Washington, P.J. Vassa!
12:25You may have seen P.J. Vassa on LFG.
12:29You also may have seen her absolutely woman-handle our champ, Kendall Gray, last week at the end
12:36of her championship celebration.
12:38I mean, think of the statement she made last week, the first time we see her on Evolve.
12:44She is taking out our brand new Evolve Women's Champion, and her best friend, I might add.
12:49Two people at once.
12:50She is here at Evolve, and believe me, she has a plan, she has a purpose, and she was very confident
12:56walking out, throwing up that S for Samoa.
12:59P.J. Vassa is certainly someone I've been excited to get my eyes on.
13:04And I think Hayes Jameson may feel the exact opposite based on what her face looked like
13:09when P.J. Vassa walked out.
13:11Remember, P.J., LFG Season 1 under Booker T, LFG Season 2 under Michelle McCool.
13:17They're watching this right now.
13:19They're making sure that she is doing everything that they taught her.
13:22Authority early on, and Hayes Jameson already seems like the party may be in doubt.
13:29P.J.'s got strength, skill, ability, natural charisma.
13:34I mean, just look at her presence in the ring.
13:37You can feel it.
13:38Hayes Jameson creates a little separation with the back elbow.
13:42Uses her feet there to take down Vassa for just a moment at least.
13:47But watch out.
13:48Body shot.
13:49And there's no doubt about it.
13:52There's no love lost even between these two.
13:54They weren't friends on LFG.
13:56They didn't like each other on LFG.
13:57And it continues here on Evolve.
13:59Hayes Jameson doing whatever she can.
14:02Look, I'm giving Hayes credit.
14:03She's fighting.
14:04She's trying.
14:05Well, that's a smart move, isn't it?
14:06It's done to go for the base of P.J. Vassa.
14:08Of course, take her down, yes.
14:10Hold on now.
14:12A DDT from the knees.
14:14Hayes Jameson with a pinfall.
14:16Oh, my God.
14:17She just threw her off.
14:21Hayes, get on her.
14:22Make a move.
14:23Yeah, you have to do that, right, Stone?
14:24She had a moment there.
14:26Every second counts.
14:27And now she's on the back of P.J. Vassa attempting a bit of a choke hold.
14:31I don't think she has it cinched in enough to do anything to P.J. Vassa,
14:35who frankly just looks irritated.
14:36You got to remember, this is P.J.'s official in-ring debut on Evolve.
14:41She's going to make it count.
14:42She's going to make it memorable.
14:44Oh, my goodness.
14:48The falling headbutt to Hayes Jameson has to have her woozy.
14:53Oh, man.
14:55I have to imagine.
14:56I know where this is going.
14:57The issue.
14:59That is going to be it for Hayes Jameson.
15:03Here is your winner, P.J. Vassa.
15:12Well, last week Evolve ended with this face staring down at Kendall Gray
15:19after she took out our champ.
15:21And now Hayes Jameson, the next victim of P.J. Vassa.
15:25Hayes Jameson, no stranger to the Evolve ring.
15:28Had her word cut out for her from the jump because it was all P.J. Vassa.
15:32The former LFG prospect made a major statement both last weekend tonight
15:37in her Evolve debut, scoring her first victory,
15:40which I'm certain will lead to an impressive Evolve future.
15:44Now we send it over to Chewy Martinez.
15:47P.J. Vassa making a very quick statement here at Evolve.
15:51Wow, congratulations.
15:53I make impact everywhere I go.
15:56I dominated LFG, and just in two weeks, two weeks, Chewy,
16:01I'm already dominating Evolve.
16:03And you know who I started with?
16:04I started with the champ.
16:06Everybody got to come get their issue.
16:08P.J. Vassa, force to be reckoned with here at Evolve.
16:12I see you, I see you.
16:14Let's check in with Jackson Drake and Stevie, all right?
16:19Hey, Stevie.
16:21Listen, I need to talk to you.
16:23I'm gonna have to seriously question your leadership prowess
16:26after what you've put me through the last couple weeks here, okay?
16:28Okay, Jackson.
16:29Sure, I hear you.
16:31But don't you dare act like I don't know what goes on on my show.
16:34Too late for that.
16:35I am fully aware of everything that happens here on Evolve,
16:38and I know that it was you that put a target on Keanu's back
16:41and sent your little friends after him.
16:42Whoa, whoa, pump the brakes.
16:43You got the wrong guy.
16:44It wasn't me.
16:45Jackson, just shut up for a second.
16:46I don't know how you could possibly blame anyone
16:49but yourself for him being in that cast.
16:51Guess what?
16:52He is still your number one contender,
16:54and you still have a match against him.
16:56End of story.
16:58No, that's not the end of story.
16:59Yes, it is.
17:00Stevie, you gotta be kidding me.
17:01I'm not risking my life or my career for Keanu the Clown.
17:05Bro already has a record of injuring his opponents.
17:08He has a weapon on his wrist.
17:10My God!
17:11Keep cracking me!
17:12Keanu!
17:14Hell no, what the?
17:15Stevie, get your boy!
17:16Keanu, stop!
17:17You have your match!
17:18You have your match.
17:19Don't make me change my mind.
17:21Calm down.
17:25Well, Keanu Carver's showing he's a true force.
17:28But now onto one of Evolve's newest additions,
17:31WWE ID Prospect, Mike Cunningham,
17:33will step into the Evolve ring for the very first time
17:36to face the bad man from Alabama-bam-bam-bama,

18:22What's up, man?
18:23Hey, Mike Cunningham.
18:24Nice to meet you.
18:25Nice to meet you.
18:26Nice to meet you.
18:27And hey, welcome to the WWE ID program.
18:29I, I really appreciate it.
18:30Cause right now, I got a lot being thrown at me.
18:33But I gotta say, I'm excited.
18:35As you should be.
18:36Yeah.
18:37And uh, when I go show Brooks Jensen, why I am the main man.
18:41There you go.
18:42Put it there.
18:43Hey, nice to meet you.
18:44Yes, sir.
18:45Nice to meet you.
18:46I like that energy.
18:47Keep it up.
18:48And hey, stay super.
18:49Marcus, you could?
18:52No.
18:53I lost last week, Sean.
18:55I lost the triple A, the ID and the PC triple threat match.
19:00And I let myself down and I let the whole ID program down.
19:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
19:04Bro, you lose.
19:05Okay?
19:06You lose some.
19:07We win some.
19:08We lose some.
19:09Alright?
19:10Did this get you down?
19:11You're right.
19:12You're right.
19:13You gotta learn from this.
19:14I'm just beating myself up.
19:15Alright?
19:16The new ID guys are coming in and it's cool.
19:17It's great.
19:18But it's putting a lot of pressure on myself to perform at a higher level.
19:20Mike, he's great as well.
19:22But the spots are getting smaller and smaller.
19:24And just what happened last week, it got me shaking.
19:27I get it.
19:28But you can't wallow.
19:29You gotta step up to the plate, my man.
19:31Look, I get to introduce Eli Knight to the club next week.
19:35After talking to Stevie, Eli and I are going one on one.
19:38That's great for the both of you.
19:39But remember, Sean, we're in this together.
19:42Being ID guys, we have a huge target on our back.
19:45Yeah, you damn right we do because we've been absolutely killing it.
19:48So, of course, they want to come after us.
19:50But look, I got y'all's bag just like I know you got mine.
19:53But hey, next week, I got business to take care of.
19:57And you do that.
19:59There you go.
20:00That's what I want.
20:02Two of the ID programs find a super, Sean Legacy and Marcus Mathers making sure these new ID prospects are on their side right before they step into the Evolve ring for the very first time.
20:16The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
20:20Introducing first,
20:22Rogue Rant, Rogue Rant,
20:23Rogue Rant,
20:24Rogue Rant,
20:25Alabama weighing in at 250 pounds.
20:28The Rogue and Jensen.
20:31Well, last week, Stone, we were getting introduced to some very new and exciting WWE ID talent.
20:37Brooks Jensen obviously felt a way about these young men getting the spotlight.
20:43And he came down and decided to get full.
20:46He didn't just come down.
20:48The man from Alabama, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, Bama came down.
20:53That's who came down.
20:54It's not just a he.
20:55Let him do that.
20:56You should let him do that.
20:57Amazing!
21:00And the Puppets from Dallas, Texas, weighing in at 205 pounds, Mike Cunningham!
21:08Woo!
21:09Well, we met Mike Cunningham last week, and as he told us, he's had the pleasure of training under the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
21:19And now tonight, his Evolve debut against the veteran Brooks Jensen.
21:24Let me just tell you this.
21:25If you have one-eighth of the discipline, the drive, the work ethic of a Cody Rhodes,
21:33and he puts a stamp on you and says you may be the guy in the future, this guy's gonna be great.
21:39One-eighth!
21:40It's a very good point to have the interest and respect, even, of Cody Rhodes at such a young age.
21:47Says a lot about Mike Cunningham.
21:49So let's see, Robert Stone.
21:50Let's see what this kid's made of.
21:51Right here, a few things to keep in mind.
21:53Mike Cunningham, the main man, Mike Cunningham, his debut match in professional wrestling was on September 15th, 2024.
22:03That's a little over a year ago.
22:04Wow.
22:05A little over a year, and he is already in a WWE Evolve ring, which, wow, what an accomplishment.
22:12But is he ready for someone like Brooks Jensen?
22:15He's a young veteran.
22:16This is straight up a rookie versus vet kind of match.
22:19Is there any advantage to almost having so little experience that you don't even know how big a deal this is?
22:27I mean, you're gonna learn after the match no matter what.
22:31Anyone who's a student of the game learns after the match, but come on.
22:35One year and you're in this position?
22:37I mean, it took me over ten years to get a big opportunity.
22:40If I was here at one year in, oh, my God, I'd be too nervous to perform.
22:47Oh, he's not nervous to perform.
22:49Mike Cunningham out of the gate showing some athleticism and some basic know-how here.
22:56I guess the big thing I'm looking for is, okay, you're in here.
22:59He's off to a great start.
23:00The guy's in great shape.
23:01I was gonna say, admit it, he's jacked.
23:02But we said he is a rookie.
23:04I mean, it is a fact.
23:05Is there gonna be a rookie mistake at some point?
23:07That's what I'm looking for.
23:08And I'm sure that's what Brooks Jensen is looking for as he dumps Mike Cunningham on his back.
23:13That didn't look fun.
23:15But there you see some of the strength from Cunningham.
23:20Well, the rookie's fighting for a name and the veteran is fighting to protect his.
23:25Believe me, Brooks Jensen does not want to be embarrassed by someone only a year in.
23:30Wow, Cunningham now showing some of the athleticism.
23:35But taken down by some of the power of Brooks Jensen.
23:38Who is not a man who's scared of anything.
23:41He's showing that.
23:42Wow!
23:43Look at the ups from Mike Cunningham.
23:45And a pinball.
23:47Jensen kicks out at two.
23:51Well, clearly he's an athletic guy.
23:53He's a charismatic guy.
23:55But the second dropkick didn't work.
23:57And that might have been the rookie mistake.
23:59He hit him with one.
24:00Should he have went for a second?
24:01Neck breaker there from Jensen.
24:03You got to say, the abs.
24:04Shades of Robert Stone.
24:06Yeah, yeah.
24:07He's looking good.
24:08He's looking good.
24:09I said he had a great body.
24:10Would you host him in one of your gyms in the Orlando area?
24:13Anybody could if they buy a day pass.
24:15Come on, Mike!
24:18Jensen now.
24:21And now Brooks is going to do what he does best.
24:23He hit him with that neck breaker.
24:25And now he's going to focus on his neck.
24:27But hold on.
24:28Returning fire is Mike Cunningham.
24:30But right back to it.
24:31Another neck breaker there from Jensen.
24:33He'll go for a pinfall.
24:34Trying to take out the rookie who kicks out at one.
24:37Brooks Jensen has old school grit with a new school grind.
24:41And right now he is feeling it.
24:43This is his wheelhouse.
24:44He has Cunningham right where he wants him.
24:47Wow.
24:48A lot of power behind Jensen.
24:50As he whips Cunningham into the corner.
24:53Come on, Mike!
24:54And now, Mike Cunningham may be having his own American nightmare.
24:58I'm going to call him.
24:59Bringing him into that turnbuckle.
25:01Definitely some whiplash adding to the neck pain.
25:05Brooks Jensen's just toying with him at this point.
25:07He said it himself.
25:09In all seriousness, Stone, after one year in your career,
25:12where were you having matches?
25:13All over the Northeast.
25:15I'm guessing in front of about 50 people and no television in sight.
25:18This is a high pressure spot to jump into.
25:21It's what I said.
25:22A thousand percent.
25:23I agree with that.
25:24He said it.
25:25I mean, he's got 50 if that matches under his belt.
25:29What an unbelievable timeline for young Mike Cunningham.
25:32And now Jensen's going to go for another pin.
25:35Decides not to hook the leg.
25:37Pays the price.
25:38The kid kicks out.
25:40Last week, we met new WWE ID prospects.
25:44Eli Knight, Jaquan McNair, along with Mike Cunningham.
25:48And you know what?
25:49They were taking up the ring in some maybe interview time that Brooks Jensen could have been having.
25:53Well, when Jensen called all three out, the one who stepped up was Mike Cunningham.
25:57And that's why he has this match.
25:59Pinfall.
26:00And a kick out at two.
26:01And on the kick out, he sends Jensen right to the bottom turn button.
26:04I think right now Brooks is seeing stars.
26:06I don't even know if he meant to do that, Cunningham.
26:08But he has an opening here.
26:10Jensen finds his way to his feet, but he's dazed.
26:14However, so is Cunningham.
26:16As both men exchange blows in the middle of the ring.
26:19Both these guys are out on their feet a bit.
26:22Seems like Cunningham now finding his wits about him and his footing faster than Jensen.
26:29Clothesline takes Jensen down.
26:31Can Mike Cunningham put Brooks Jensen away?
26:34Water!
26:37Flying clothesline from Mike Cunningham.
26:40I'm sure Cody Rhodes watching at home is impressed.
26:45He's making the Nightmare Factory proud, I'll tell you that much.
26:48Not much.
26:50What is Cunningham having store here?
26:53As he's heading to the top.
26:58Oh my, look at the ups from Mike Cunningham.
27:01He goes out the lasso launcher.
27:03Is it enough?
27:05Jensen kicking out at the last second.
27:08Could you imagine if he would have just pinned Brooks Jensen in his debut here and now?
27:14And by the way, can you imagine the embarrassment for Jensen who started this whole thing last week?
27:17Wait, wait, wait.
27:18And Jensen tries to get a pin to reverse Mike Cunningham now.
27:22And Jensen kicks out of that.
27:24Jensen misses with the clothesline.
27:26Oh no.
27:28Although that mistake may cost Mike Cunningham.
27:31And it does.
27:32Here is your winner, Brooks Jensen.
27:38That was absolutely an impressive performance from the youngster Mike Cunningham.
27:46But Stone, he got a little cocky and he made a mistake.
27:49And the veteran presence there of Brooks Jensen, he takes advantage.
27:53This is what Evolve is all about.
27:56A young, gritty rookie looking to make a statement.
28:00He was going for the cowboy cutter, but it was the bad man from Alabama who quickly turned Cunningham's debut into a nightmare, crushing him with this devastating victory.
28:11Absolutely great matchup between Mike Cunningham and Brooks Jensen.
28:15Going from the rugged, no frills bad man from Alabama to someone that I would say is the complete opposite.
28:22Let's get a closer look at the eccentric, Aaron Rourke.
28:28I'm Aaron Rourke and I'm the dying piece.
28:32But I didn't always feel like that.
28:35I've always felt like others have defined me by their own perception of me.
28:40But all that changed when I went to Creative Pro for my wrestling school.
28:45They wanted to know that I was going to work hard and I did.
28:48I gave them everything and I still give my everything.
28:53For the first time, I felt like I could finally show my younger self that someone like you can make it.
29:00All those things those people told you to hide, let them thrive.
29:04That's what makes you, you.
29:06I can say that I am here and I have earned this.
29:11Don't let the face, the outfit, the makeup, don't let that distract you.
29:16Just as I am opulent and flamboyant, I am just as ruthless, aggressive and evil.
29:27But we have now heard Aaron Rourke's life story and what a way to end up here and evolve.
29:31But Wendy Chu has also recently been sharing more of herself, but it's not quite being perceived the same way by all the women's locker room.
29:38The showstopping diva Chantal Monroe goes one-on-one with Wendy Chu next.
29:47Two rings surrounded by a steel cage.
29:51Two rings
30:00You're gonna play games!
30:01We're gonna play games!
30:03Oh my God, are you kidding me?
30:08This is gonna be A WAR!
30:10Callie Armstrong.
30:19She has been the most dominant force since WWE Evolved started.
30:34I'm fast?
30:34Let's go.
30:36I'm strong?
30:37I'm dominant.
30:40I'm different.
30:43Callie Armstrong ain't done.
30:44I'm going to keep coming back because I'm the difference maker.
30:47Yeah.
30:51Yo, Stevie.
30:52Hello.
30:52Phone down.
30:53Okay.
30:53Listen, I should not have to face Keanu Carver at all.
30:56Guy's an absolute maniac.
30:58He tried to cost me my title at Succession.
31:00Got checked for it.
31:01So I need to know something.
31:03How long are you going to suspend him for that?
31:06Okay.
31:06Second thing I didn't know.
31:07Well, Jackson, I was actually thinking, I'm not going to suspend Keanu.
31:11Typical woman.
31:12Okay.
31:12I don't know if you remember, Jackson.
31:14I don't know how good your memory is or anything.
31:15But he, Keanu, actually won a number one contenders match for that championship.
31:20But then your little vanity project, they came out and they broke his hand, didn't they?
31:26Okay.
31:26So here's the thing.
31:28They broke his hand.
31:28I literally didn't break anybody's hand.
31:30That wasn't me.
31:31That literally wasn't me, bro.
31:33Very professional.
31:34Jackson, you celebrated it.
31:36Jackson Drake, you are the men's Evolve champion.
31:39So I'm going to give you one of two options.
31:41You either defend your championship against Keanu Carver.
31:44That sucks.
31:44Or you give it to me right now.
31:46Even worse.
31:47Even worse.
31:48Stevie.
31:49Hmm?
31:49You're telling me that you're genuinely willing to let the greatest Evolve champion in this
31:55company's history just walk away from all of this right now?
32:01You're even crazier than he is.
32:02I hope you know that.
32:04Jackson, face Keanu or vacate the title.
32:08It's your choice.
32:09It's my choice?
32:10Mm-hmm.
32:11You know what I choose to do?
32:12Oh, yeah.
32:14I choose to bite my tongue.
32:18Wow.
32:19That's a fuss.
32:21Heard that.
32:24Stevie Turner continuing to keep the pressure on and certainly not putting up with his nonsense
32:28for Jackson Drake and the Vanity Project.
32:34There's your girl, Robert Stone.
32:36I really hope Jackson Drake isn't going to do what Stevie Turner's trying to make him do
32:39and vacate the title.
32:41However, I'm going to take my mind off her right now and focus.
32:44Get your mirror out, Peter.
32:45Take it out.
32:46Come on.
32:46All right.
32:47All right.
32:47I gave you one three weeks ago.
32:49I got it.
32:49I brought it.
32:50Take the mirror out.
32:50Everybody's got their mirrors out because it's main event time, which means it's the SSD,
32:55the It Girl, the reflection of perfection.
32:57She is here, Chantel Monroe.
33:00And what does SSD stand for?
33:02The show's stopping Diva.
33:03Duh.
33:04We're past that.
33:05We're on letters now.
33:06You moved on to letters with Chantel.
33:08I've done both, but I mean, now everybody knows it's all about the letters.
33:19Oh, ho, ho, ho.
33:21The sleepy psycho is here.
33:23And you know what?
33:24That moniker is not exactly apropos in the same way.
33:30You've seen the work she's doing in therapy.
33:32Now, listen, she's still Wendy Chu.
33:34You never know what to expect, Stone.
33:36But I've been impressed with the new lease being turned over by Wendy Chu.
33:39How are you impressed by this?
33:42This is, let me just remind you of something, okay?
33:45This is someone who says they're going to therapy, right?
33:48I guess they are.
33:49But is it all just a ploy?
33:51Is it all just a fraud?
33:52Because remember, Wendy Chu is all about mind games.
33:55Is this whole new thing with her speaking and, I don't know, maybe, I don't know, she's trying to make friends?
34:01Whatever it is that she's doing.
34:02Is it all fake?
34:03Is it all her setting up for her next victim?
34:05I don't think so.
34:06Maybe she's been influenced.
34:07Really?
34:08You trust her?
34:09Why not?
34:10Everyone's allowed to change.
34:11If you listen to anything AJ Lee's been saying, mental health's very important.
34:16I think Wendy Chu got the message.
34:17Wendy!
34:20The following contest is your main event.
34:26And it is scheduled for one fall.
34:29One fall.
34:30Introducing first, from Sarasota, Florida, Chantel Monroe.
34:39And her opponent, from the city that never sleeps, Wendy Chu.
34:48See?
34:49She looks completely normal to me.
34:50Wendy Chu has a whole new look and feel.
34:53There's a new vibe.
34:55As the kids say, Stone, the aura is different with Wendy Chu.
34:58You know what I'm saying?
34:59Are you trying to say she has Riz?
35:01Riz is dead.
35:02Ever since she lost the I Quit match to Kendall Gray, and now she's spoken, now she's talking more.
35:08Yes.
35:10Am I off here saying I feel like she's crazier than ever?
35:14No, I think you're way off here.
35:15I think she still has the competitive edge she's always had, but I think Wendy Chu is evolving, pun intended, in front of our very eyes.
35:25Now, on the flip side, though, Chantel Monroe has been evolving as a competitor in the ring, hasn't she?
35:30Chantel Monroe is excellent in the ring.
35:34She has proved that for the past few months here.
35:36But I just can't, my head can't get wrapped around before we get into the SSD, just that you actually believe that this whole Wendy Chu thing is real.
35:45Who has ever went to therapy and came out of it a better person?
35:49Therapy doesn't work.
35:51My wife wants me to go to therapy.
35:52Therapy doesn't work.
35:54You should listen to her and go to therapy.
35:57Therapy, I'm a big proponent myself.
36:01Right now, Chantel Monroe is going to strength and trying to outstrong Wendy Chu.
36:08I don't know if that's the route I would go if I was Chantel Monroe.
36:13Look at the sneaky athleticism from Wendy Chu.
36:17She's excellent in the ring.
36:19Her speed is like no other.
36:21But, I mean, trying to make friendships all of a sudden is like a puzzle trying to fit in the wrong box.
36:26It's just never going to happen.
36:28Who is going to sit there and say, oh, yeah, I'm going to be friends with Wendy Chu.
36:31Are you going to take her home to meet your parents?
36:33Hey, this is my friend Wendy.
36:35Well, you're still talking about the whole pinfall.
36:38No.
36:39In fact, a submission sort of hold or just a choke of sorts.
36:43Chantel Monroe utilizing her thighs, sort of knee region there, clenched around the neck of Wendy Chu.
36:49You're so judgmental about Wendy Chu.
36:52This is not the same sleepy psycho.
36:55Oh, man.
36:56Oh, Wendy Chu, my games.
36:58Exactly.
36:58She's mocking the SSD.
37:00I love it.
37:00I don't blame Chantel for just being weirded out by her not wanting her around the locker room.
37:05She's trying to protect the women's locker room.
37:07I don't think the rest of the women's locker room feels that way.
37:09I think a lot of people have been impressed with Wendy's work.
37:11This is someone who used to say she's not afraid of the dark because she is the darkness.
37:15Yeah, I remember.
37:16You used to quote that.
37:18You loved it.
37:19I didn't love it.
37:20I said it because I was scared of her.
37:21And frankly, I'm still scared of her.
37:23I mean, I'm seeing people online now on X say kind of creepy, kind of cute about Wendy.
37:28Like, they're into this.
37:29Wait.
37:30She's into this pin.
37:31Innovative pin there from Wendy Chu.
37:32Kind of creepy, kind of cute.
37:34Yeah, I've seen it.
37:34That's a thing?
37:35I guess.
37:41Wendy Chu with a battery in her back here tonight in our main event.
37:46She has been such a stalwart here on Evolve.
37:49Week after week, seems like she's always in the middle of something in the women's division.
37:53She always has effective offense.
37:56And that's exactly what she's displaying right now.
37:59On to Chantel Monroe.
38:00Oof.
38:00Nice kick from Chantel.
38:03Oh.
38:05Oh, man.
38:07But now this is that aggressive side I was talking about that we've seen the past few
38:11months come out of Chantel.
38:13She's classy on the surface, but savage at the core.
38:17Don't forget, Chantel Monroe had her issues with Kylie Rae.
38:20And now her issues with another ring veteran, Wendy Chu.
38:24Seems like she wants to go after one vet after another to prove herself, which I have to admit
38:29is impressive.
38:29Hey, it's Chantel's world.
38:31And we're just living in it.
38:34Wow.
38:36More of the innovation of Wendy Chu.
38:39She does so many things well.
38:43Oh, man.
38:44All with a straight face.
38:46The facial expression on Wendy just doesn't change.
38:50The makeup has changed, but the innovation has not.
38:54We got a smile out of her.
38:56I admit that that smile was a little scary, but that's the competitive edge I talked about
39:02earlier with Wendy Chu.
39:03Wait a minute.
39:07Watch out, that neck breaker to the rope.
39:11More of our main event between Wendy Chu and Chantel Monroe next on I'm All.
39:16Welcome, everyone, to the biggest event of the summer.
39:24For more than 35 years, SummerSlam has delivered some of the most amazing moments in WWE history.
39:31I am completely in shock right now.
39:35And in 2026, we'll once again make history.
39:39Fasten your seatbelts.
39:42It is about to go down.
39:44Let's go!
39:46Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd, 2026, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
39:53Live from the world-class U.S. Bank Stadium, WWE will bring two epic nights of SummerSlam to the Twin Cities.
40:00So there's only one question to ask, are you ready?
40:16Welcome back to our main event, Chantel Monroe, the SSD, and the sleepy psycho, Wendy Chu.
40:23Another neck breaker.
40:25She's really been focusing in on Wendy's neck.
40:27It has been all the SSD with perfection.
40:37During the break, Chantel Monroe taking control of this match and trying to put away Wendy Chu.
40:44How much would this win mean for Chantel Monroe?
40:46Oh, over a veteran like Wendy?
40:48In the main event, no less.
40:49Think about adding that to your statistics, beating a veteran like Wendy Chu.
40:53Someone who's been on PLEs, someone who has been around for a very, in professional wrestling for a long time, in the WWE for a long time.
41:01And of course, she's done so much here in Evolve.
41:05As Chantel looking to pin.
41:07Can't quite get a hold of Wendy Chu in time.
41:10Don't forget, Wendy Chu was involved in that first Fatal 4-Way when Callie Armstrong won the title.
41:14She was involved in the first ever I Quit match here on Evolve.
41:17Chantel has a lot of street cred here, but right now she is in a bad, bad way, locked in between Chantel Monroe's legs.
41:27And, you know, Chantel's doing this all with her three Ps.
41:30Prim, Proper, and Prissy.
41:32You love that, don't you?
41:34Hey, it's a way of life for her.
41:38Chantel Monroe, very creative herself.
41:40See, Chantel may be stunning on the outside, but she's got a real creative cunning side that goes a long way in competing here on Evolve.
41:50And now Chantel Monroe, now using her legs, but it turns into a pin for Wendy Chu.
41:56We've got a heck of a main event here in Stone.
41:58We are still wondering about future main events, especially in regard to the men's championship.
42:03We are still waiting to find out if Jackson Drake is going to do what Stevie Turner wants him to do and vacate the Evolve championship or defend it against Keanu Carver.
42:13Double clothesline leaves both women down on the mat as you're taking a look at Wendy Chu and Chantel Monroe in our main event here on Evolve.
42:22Back and forth between both ladies.
42:25Power behind both punches.
42:27Now Wendy going to a brutal kick to the body.
42:29Both of these superstars are in pain right now, but they're digging deep.
42:34This is the main event of Evolve on a Wednesday.
42:37Who is going to come through?
42:39And as I said earlier, Wendy Chu been involved in so much on Evolve so far.
42:46And Chantel Monroe has been steadily growing here.
42:49Triple reversal.
42:50Spine buster!
42:52Could the spine buster be enough?
42:55Monroe kicking out at two.
42:56What is Wendy thinking?
43:00Look at that face.
43:01Look at those eyes.
43:03What move is she going to make next?
43:06The SSD has been showing people she's got a lot more than just the PPP you just referred to.
43:14She's got skills in the ring.
43:15But right now a pinfall for Wendy Chu and a reversal for Chantel in a two count.
43:20Wait a minute.
43:20Another pin for Wendy Chu.
43:22Is that enough?
43:22Those were tight pins.
43:23Kick to the gut.
43:26What's Wendy going for next?
43:27Looks like a suplex.
43:28And it is.
43:30Brain buster.
43:33Pinfall.
43:34This is it.
43:35Kick out at two for Chantel Monroe.
43:38She got out at the absolute latest possible.
43:42Mila.
43:43Eighth.
43:44Sixteenth of a second there.
43:45Both of these women, of course, seeing what Kendall Gray did in succession a few weeks back.
43:52And they want to get in the title picture.
43:54Right.
43:54She's got her hooked in that full Nelson.
43:55We've seen her do that slam before.
43:58Oh, that's a pin.
43:59And a kick out from Chantel Monroe.
44:01Oh, man.
44:03Monroe caught with that punch to the throat area.
44:06Back elbow.
44:07Oh, come on, Chu.
44:08Yeah.
44:10Backs off Wendy Chu.
44:11What's Chantel looking to do here for the second rope?
44:13Oh, man.
44:16Inverted neck breaker.
44:17It's like a tornado inverted DDT.
44:20Woo.
44:22Another pinfall.
44:24Close call as both ladies go back and forth in our main event.
44:28That was right back to Wendy's neck.
44:30And you could see her holding on to it.
44:32Oh, what's Chantel looking to do?
44:33Well, it doesn't matter.
44:34She's not going to be able to.
44:35Wendy sends her into the corner.
44:37Man, there's power behind every kick and every punch from these two.
44:41Oh, man.
44:43Uh-oh.
44:44Wait, is she going for it?
44:45Wendy's looking for dirt now.
44:47She's got her.
44:49Is it locked in?
44:51Oh, it's reversed into a pin.
44:54And Wendy kicks out.
44:55Oh, man.
44:57Oh, what a super kick from Chantel.
44:59And now she's got Wendy up.
45:01That could be it.
45:05Chantel Monroe's got Wendy Chu prone.
45:07But she took too long and comes up short.
45:11And now it's going to be dirt nap.
45:13I guarantee it.
45:14She tried to use her gymnastics background for that shooting star, but got caught.
45:19Oh, wait a minute.
45:20Oh, Chantel.
45:21I think Wendy just got caught on her throat.
45:23And there's a perfect ending.
45:25Chantel managed to evade the dirt nap.
45:27The perfect ending.
45:28And the win.
45:29Here is your winner, Chantel Monroe.
45:34Wow, man.
45:36Are you kidding me?
45:38It looked as if Wendy Chu surely would lock in the dirt nap, which would have meant night-night
45:44for Chantel Monroe.
45:45But again, she uses the rope to reverse into the perfect ending.
45:51And Chantel Monroe gets the win.
45:53Well, let's go back to the action in this one.
45:55We've been seeing such a different side from Wendy Chu lately.
45:58But in the ring, she still brought her classic innovation.
46:02And even though it seemed victory was in her sights, the reflection of perfection was able
46:07to turn the tide and show just why they call her the show Stopping Diva with a hard-fought
46:12victory over a battle-tested Wendy Chu.
46:15Sky's the limit for Chantel Monroe.
46:20You freak!
46:21You stupid freak!
46:23Go back to the dirt!
46:24This is my ring!
46:25You freak!
46:26You freak!
46:27Get this freak out of my ring!
46:29This is my ring!
46:32Get her out of the ring!
46:33Get her out of the ring!
46:34My ring!
46:37The disrespect from Chantel Monroe toward a veteran like Wendy Chu is outrageous.
46:42But hold on.
46:42I'm being told there's a developing situation backstage.
46:45Let's check in with our PM, Stevie Turner, in her office.
46:50Look who's sitting in the exact same spot.
46:53Oh, great.
46:54So, have you made your decision yet, Chantel?
46:56You know what?
46:57Let me just say, for the record, of course, as general manager, not prime minister, general
47:04manager, to put your champion in a predicament like this, basically risk my career or give
47:10up my title, is super not cool.
47:13Super not cool.
47:14But, as we all know, there's a reason why Heartbreak Drake is the first ever WWE Evolve
47:21men's champion.
47:22Because nobody else is deserving or capable of carrying the ball.
47:27So you want to send that maniac Keanu Carver after me?
47:29Fine.
47:30Whatever.
47:31He's reckless and he's a danger to the entire brand.
47:34But somebody has to put him down.
47:36And it might as well be your franchise player.
47:38So, make the match, Stevie.
47:42Everyone knows the title's staying on Jackson Drake.
47:47Wow.
47:47You heard it right from the champ himself.
47:50Heartbreak Drake is putting the Evolve championship on the line against the unfiltered force, Keanu
47:55Carver.
47:57Cleared to compete with that cast on his broken wrist.
47:59Carver, who pinned the champ just two weeks ago, finally gets his first single shot at the
48:04title.
48:04It's one of the most anticipated matchups of the year.
48:07And it all happens next week on WWE Evolve.
