00:00And her opponent from Los Angeles, California, Nikita Reigns.
00:18Speaking of swag, speaking of aura, speaking of all the things,
00:24there she is, Nikita Multimedia is in the building, Robert Stone.
00:31Our real ones always rise.
00:35She's glowing, she's magnetic, she's whimsical.
00:39She is here, and it's my favorite entrance, we know that.
00:42She sings it, the big cat is here, meow.
00:48I didn't have that meow on my bingo card,
00:51but you never know what you're gonna get here on WWE.
00:55It's the Lioness, it's Evolve, we're kicking this thing off.
00:58I know, I know, you're very excited with the holiday season.
01:02Check it out, Malik Blade in the VIP.
01:05Haven't seen him in a while, but hey, that shows anybody could show up in NXT.
01:08You never know, is Malik Blade here to take in some action on WWE Evolve?
01:14Nikita Lyons has had a little back and forth now for quite a while, Rob,
01:18with Mason and Layla.
01:19Yeah, but can we just go back to the beginning of this whole thing?
01:21How all of this started was Nikita Lyons trying to teach these two how to get
01:26more views on their TikTok videos, on their IG videos.
01:30She was trying to help them out.
01:31They took offense, and that's how this whole thing started.
01:34And let me remind you of something, Nikita Lyons already beat Mason Holiday.
01:38She didn't even have to take this match against Layla.
01:40Yeah, I think that, I don't think that they took it that way.
01:43Mason and Layla did not see it as help that they had asked for from Nikita Lyons.
01:47You see the big knee there from Layla Diggs.
01:50Well, I'll tell you, Layla was definitely prepared for this one because, man,
01:53that axe kick, that knee in the corner, she is ready.
01:56One, four!
01:57Okay.
01:58Oh, look at that.
01:59There's that swag we were just talking about, the pinfall for Layla Diggs.
02:02One, two!
02:03And a two count as Nikita kicks out.
02:05I'll tell you one thing, though, about Nikita.
02:06Whenever she appears on Evolve, I don't know if you check.
02:09Twitter is always a buzz one way or the other with Nikita Lyons.
02:13That's why she's called Nikita multimedia.
02:15That's why she was trying to pass her social media knowledge onto these two.
02:20Man.
02:21As the fight goes to the apron, Layla Diggs on the outside.
02:24That was an interesting spot to have a headlock.
02:27Using the ropes wisely is Nikita Lyons.
02:31Very savvy stuff there from Nikita Lyons.
02:33Now, that's not savvy, that's just aggressive.
02:35That's just punches and bunches, elbows really in bunches from Nikita Lyons.
02:39Well, yeah, you can't forget how dangerous her not only feet are, but her hands also.
02:43Clearly, all parts of her body.
02:45Yeah, she's very, very creative, the snap suplex.
02:49And Layla Diggs now feeling it, remembering that Nikita Lyons is more than just dances,
02:54more than just sort of the bizarre behavior that she shows at times.
02:57She can bring it in the ring, Rob.
03:03How would a win over Nikita Lyons help Layla Diggs in the women's division here on Evolve?
03:07I mean, it writes itself, look at Nikita Lyons' background.
03:10She's been on NXT, she's been in super high tension, important matches.
03:15To get a win over her puts you on the map, puts you to higher places, gets eyes on you.
03:19On the flip side of that, though, how important is it for
03:21Nikita to keep getting wins here on Evolve, given all the experience that you just mentioned?
03:25I mean, a win is a win, everybody needs them.
03:28As you see now, wait a minute.
03:30What is that, a pin there from Layla, Nikita kicks out.
03:33She went for a kick the second time, and now Nikita caught her with one, throat chakra.
03:38Could that be enough?
03:39Nikita's gonna go for the pin, and a kick out at two for Layla Diggs.
03:45Power in both hands and the feet of Nikita Lyons.
03:48Well, this ain't ballet, and right now Layla Diggs is not looking good.
03:54She's trying to come to.
03:57Here we go, touch grass, baby.
03:59And there it is again, that innovative offense we were just talking about from Nikita Lyons.
04:04It's innovative feeder.
04:06That's one way to put it.
04:07I'll see what I'm doing to your girl.
04:09You always have to keep an eye.
04:10Wait a minute.
04:11There she is again.
04:12Don't take your eyes off the match, Nikita.
04:14But a little dance off.
04:16What is this, kid and play?
04:17We're in a wrestling match.
04:18Malik Blayne's feeling it now, too.
04:20Of course he is.
04:21Watch out, Nikita.
04:22Layla, going for the pin.
04:25Really?
04:27Here is your winner, Layla Diggs.
04:32Well, we just talked about the importance of getting a win, and as we did it,
04:36Nikita Lyons got distracted and essentially started a dance off with Mason Holiday.
04:42Malik Blayne, instead of concentrating on what was going on in the ring.
04:49Well, let's take a look back at this great back and forth opening contest,
04:52ultimately ending in confusion.
04:55As you see, Big Cat Kida was distracted by Mason Holiday and Malik Blayne grooving on the outside,
05:01leading to Layla Diggs scoring a huge victory over Big Cat Kida.
05:08Big win here for Layla Diggs.
05:09Little bit here for Layla Diggs as we head backstage now to
05:11check in with Supra and Sean Legacy, preparing for our main event tonight.
