00:00The following contest scheduled for one fall is for
00:04that WWE Evolve Women's Championship.
00:09Introducing first,
00:13the challenger from the city that never sleeps, Wendy Chiu.
00:21And
00:26her opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:29She is the WWE Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
00:36Well, Peter, you asked me a question.
00:42You said, how smart is it for Kendall Gray to be doing this?
00:44After last week, she just defended her Evolve Women's Championship in a triple
00:48threat match.
00:49You know what my answer is?
00:50I don't have the answer.
00:52Time will tell, because I think Kendall's mind is telling her that she
00:56could do this.
00:57But I think her body could be saying something else.
01:00It has been a crazy few months for Kendall Gray.
01:05She has defended her Evolve Championship at Madison Square Garden.
01:10She had an NXT Championship opportunity at New Year's Evil.
01:15And now here she is defending against Wendy Chiu.
01:18And early on, she's trying to get the arm bar locked in.
01:21Watch out, pin.
01:22And then, Wendy's trying to go dirt now.
01:26And that is a smart plant, turns into a pin.
01:28Both of these ladies know each other quite well.
01:31Their story does go all the way back to the beginning of WWE Evolve a year ago,
01:36as Wendy just mentioned.
01:37But you have to admit, Kendall Gray, not just because of the title,
01:40she's a completely different superstar now than she was a year ago.
01:42Yeah, absolutely.
01:43I mean, time just builds.
01:45And when you build, you get better.
01:46The more reps you get, you get better.
01:48But you gotta think about this, Kendall Gray changed Wendy Chiu forever.
01:52She made her say I quit, she made her talk.
01:54That changed everything about Wendy.
01:55Now what Wendy wants to do is change Kendall by taking that
01:59Evolve Women's Championship off of her.
02:02Now we know Wendy's a stalwart.
02:04She has done it in the business for a very long time.
02:06But how huge would a win be against Kendall Gray, who is on fire?
02:10It would be very huge.
02:11Dangerous place there, dangling on the apron.
02:13And there's that speed from Kendall Gray.
02:15Doing what she does best.
02:17This is what everybody is talking about when they see Kendall on NXT,
02:20when they see her on Evolve.
02:22The speed, the natural ring intuition.
02:25That is who Kendall Gray is.
02:27But she's in there with a very savvy veteran in Wendy Chiu.
02:30Watch out, there's that speed again.
02:32Let's go.
02:33Oh, Wendy Chiu pulling out all the stuff to become Evolve Women's Champion.
02:38The sneaky athleticism of Wendy Chiu.
02:41Our title match continues next.
02:44Montreal, it's fight weekend.
02:49I'm automatic and innovative because I have it.
02:52Friday night's SmackDown throws the first punch.
02:55You want it, you got it.
02:56Then, Saturday night's main event goes for the knockout.
03:01Unbelievable.
03:02WWE hits back-to-back nights at the Bell Center, on action, on weekend.
03:11Tickets on sale now.
03:13Welcome back to WWE Evolve on Tubi.
03:21Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone ringside, what a treat.
03:24Look at this.
03:24Watch out, that is Wendy Chiu, the challenger, going after our champion Kendall Gray at a pin.
03:30Oh, man.
03:31And Kendall kicks out at two.
03:33Is there any chance, Robert, that just all the different stuff Kendall's doing could
03:37possibly spread her thin and weaken her in a match against Wendy Chiu?
03:42Absolutely, the busy you are.
03:43Wait a minute.
03:44Another roll up there and a kick out at two, turned into another pin for Wendy, and Kendall kicks out.
03:50The more your body's going through, Peter, the more that you might not be ready for a match like this.
03:54And Wendy out at two and turns it into another pin and another reversal.
03:58And now Kendall will try to score a pin as these two ladies go back and forth.
04:03This has been nonstop.
04:05Kicks at the same time, they know each other so well.
04:07You said it earlier, punches at the same time.
04:09This is awesome.
04:10The double close line.
04:11And the thing is, Rob, it's not just about the physical toll.
04:15But Kendall, her career has changed in front of our very eyes.
04:19This is someone who when we showed up a year ago, a lot of people knew nothing about her.
04:23She truly has become the it girl in pro wrestling.
04:26You just wonder mentally if it takes a toll.
04:28All of the different opportunities that she's getting right now.
04:31Well, she's been the it girl with a target on her back.
04:33But you know what, she's been taking on all comers and she has been successful.
04:36But can she be successful against Wendy Chiu tonight?
04:39And the blows back and forth between Wendy and Kendall.
04:43You see big right hands from both, oofing a chop from Wendy Chiu.
04:47And now Kendall doing what she does best, but Wendy's still fighting back.
04:53I gotta tell you, therapy has done something for Wendy Chiu.
04:57German suplex.
04:59She is a different person and you see it not just in how she talks, Rob.
05:03What Wendy Chiu does in the ring as you see Kendall Gray enter the gray area.
05:08The gray grabs our account and now she's gonna do what she does best.
05:12Kendall is looking to bring it to Wendy Chiu who wanted this challenge.
05:16As you see two boots down to Wendy Chiu and a pitfall for the champ.
05:20And a kick out at two.
05:22Man, we've seen her do that double stop so many times that I love watching it.
05:26Almost put Wendy Chiu away.
05:30The athleticism of Kendall Gray really impresses me time after time.
05:35For a youngster she knows so much in the ring.
05:38But Wendy Chiu with tricks up her sleeve.
05:40Rob, as time goes on, does this match favor the veteran Wendy Chiu?
05:43I mean, again, only time will tell you would think it's 12 years versus two years experience.
05:48But Kendall's holding her own.
05:49Watch out, Kendall could be in a bad spot right here.
05:52Wendy Chiu, an opening and a neck breaker.
05:55Could that be enough to get the title off Kendall Gray?
05:58It's not.
05:59Peter's so close right there to Wendy Chiu becoming the new Evolve Women's Champion.
06:05You see the look on the face of Wendy Chiu.
06:10She thought she had the Evolve Women's Championship in her grasp.
06:14And now Kendall favoring that neck, that neck breaker affected.
06:17She's trying to hook her for that full Nelson that she often hits.
06:21Watch out.
06:21Kendall had her scouted.
06:23And could this be dirt neck?
06:24Man.
06:26If Wendy Chiu can fully lock in the dirt neck.
06:29I don't think she fully has it locked in.
06:31Oof.
06:32Kendall Gray wise and creative to get out of that there.
06:36But she's got that arm bar right.
06:38It is fully locked in.
06:39Does she fully have it, Rob?
06:43No, no, Wendy is fighting it.
06:45I don't think she's gotten it.
06:47Her hands are clasped.
06:48Her hands are clasped.
06:49She is trying to get out.
06:52And there's a pivot.
06:53One, two.
06:54And Kendall kicks out.
06:55One, two, three.
06:57Oh, man, caught her with that right to the chin.
07:00Can she capitalize?
07:03It looks like she needed to weaken Wendy Chiu a bit more in order to lock in that arm bar,
07:08which has done so many other competitors in against Kendall Gray.
07:12But now Kendall Gray goes up top.
07:15And Wendy's gonna find her with an uppercut.
07:17In a match like this, you gotta put it all on the line.
07:20And that's what these two superstars are doing.
07:24Superplex from Wendy Chiu, taking the champ down.
07:27Could that be enough?
07:28She held on, Peter.
07:29She's not done.
07:30Another run.
07:32Brain buster.
07:34The pin, could the title change hands?
07:37No, it doesn't.
07:38Goodness gracious, Robert Stone.
07:41I didn't know we were getting this to start off the night.
07:44This is more than winning a title for Wendy Chiu.
07:46It's about proving to herself that she can do this, that she can.
07:50And of course, the crowd here at the PC, very excited.
07:54We also have another incredible women's match later on between Carmen Petrovich and
07:58Callie Armstrong.
07:59But right now, the champ, Kendall Gray, defending against Wendy Chiu.
08:03And Wendy looking to lock in the dirt now.
08:06Full Nelson.
08:07She's going full Nelson Slam.
08:08She was.
08:10Nasty.
08:13Big chop to the champ, looking for another neck breaker.
08:16Reversed.
08:17Shades of Grey.
08:18That could be it.
08:20One, two, three.
08:21Kendall Gray retains.
08:24Here is your winner, and still WWE Evolved Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
08:34Considering Kendall Gray didn't know she was defending her title here tonight,
08:39you have to be incredibly impressed with what Kendall was able to do as she holds off
08:46Wendy Chiu.
08:47Rob, take us through the match.
08:50Well, the impromptu championship match delivered in all aspects.
08:54Wendy Chiu brought the physicality like only she can.
08:58But in the end, it was the boss lady who kept her incredible momentum going as Kendall
09:03Gray defeated Wendy to retain the championship.
09:06Very, very, very impressive win for Kendall Gray.
09:11The champ continues to impress Kendall Gray reigns supreme here on Evolve.
09:18Green block, how is that?
