00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30An explosive night on WWE Evolve.
00:35And Carmen Petrovich has got something to prove.
00:372026, it's been a crazy couple weeks, right?
00:41WWE ID clashing with PC talent, Harlem Lewis is back.
00:46But I'm focused on the stacked and evolving women's division.
00:50Tonight, I'm gonna handle Callie Armstrong.
00:53Cuz to me, you've just been coasting off being the first ever Women's Evolve champion.
00:58And Buki, that's just so last year.
01:01You made your first and last mistake when you jumped me over the barricade last week.
01:05So tonight, I'm gonna make sure that the difference is made, just not by you.
01:28Ladies and gentlemen, it is Wednesday night.
01:40We are here at the WWE Performance Center for another incredible episode of WWE Evolve on Tubi.
01:49I'm Peter Rosenberg. This is Robert Stone.
01:51We have an incredible main event tonight.
01:53Peter, it's Wednesday. It's Evolve. We're on Tubi. Let's do this.
01:58And just like that, with an incredible main event, we also get started with the great Wendy Chu, who has something to say.
02:04Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Wendy Chu.
02:27And there she is, the constantly evolving Wendy Chu.
02:35We can agree, you've seen a lot of changes in this young lady.
02:39I sure have it, Peter. Two weeks ago, she made it clear after she won her No Disqualification match that in her future, she wants to become the Evolve Women's Champion.
02:49So I'm thinking that is what is on her mind.
02:52Listen, I've always enjoyed the work of Wendy Chu, but I won't lie to you, Rob. I like not being scared of her in the same way.
02:59Okay, y'all. New year, new me.
03:05Do I have that good or wish?
03:08But in all seriousness, I have three New Year's resolutions this year, and that's to be unbothered, unfiltered, and unapologetic.
03:22And let's be real for a second.
03:25It's been almost a whole year, and I never had a real shot at the WWE Evolve Women's Championship.
03:32Let's go, baby.
03:33So, I'm calling out the woman who opened up Pandora's box, and the person you can blame for having me never shut up again, Kendall Gray.
03:44Okay.
03:45Calling out the champ.
03:48And she's responding.
03:50And she's responding.
03:52No, no, no, no.
04:04You're supposed to take a week off because of last week's title defense.
04:08Kendall, what are you doing?
04:10Why would I need a break right now?
04:11I mean, if Wendy wants it, she can get it.
04:14I'll defend this title right now.
04:18Should we do it?
04:19I don't even know how we, are we going to do it?
04:20Can we do it?
04:21Yeah, we can make it happen.
04:22I mean.
04:22Kendall, this match is now official.
04:24All right.
04:25It's official, Kendall.
04:27Wendy Chu versus Kendall Gray for the Evolve Women's Championship.
04:31Let's do it!
04:31Well, okay.
04:34Is this happening right now, Peter?
04:35I mean, our main event is Carmen Petrovich and Callie Armstrong, but I guess we have the women's champ, one of the hottest stars in all of professional wrestling, defending her gold against Wendy Chu.
04:47That's the cool thing about Evolve on 2B Wednesdays.
04:50You never know.
04:51It's expect the unexpected.
04:52Anything can happen.
04:53We're kicking this off with an impromptu Evolve Women's Championship match.
04:58How cool is that?
04:58Well, let me ask you a question, though.
04:59To Chewie's point, how unwise is it for Kendall, who just defended in a triple threat last week against Callie and PJ Vassa?
05:07The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for that WWE Evolve Women's Championship!
05:20Introducing first, the challenger from the city that never sleeps, Wendy Chu!
05:29And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, she is the WWE Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!
05:49Well, Peter, you asked me a question.
05:51You said, how smart is it for Kendall Gray to be doing this after last week she just defended her Evolve Women's Championship in a triple threat match.
05:58You know what my answer is?
05:59I don't have the answer.
06:01Time will tell.
06:02Because I think Kendall's mind is telling her that she could do this.
06:06But I think her body could be saying something else.
06:09It has been a crazy few months for Kendall Gray.
06:14She has defended her Evolve Championship at Madison Square Garden.
06:19She had an NXT Championship opportunity at New Year's Evil.
06:24And now here she is defending against Wendy Chu.
06:26Oh, and early on, she's trying to get the arm bar locked in.
06:30Watch out, pin!
06:33And then, Wendy's trying to go dirt now.
06:35And that is a smart plan.
06:36Turns into a pin!
06:38Both of these ladies know each other quite well.
06:41Their story does go all the way back to the beginning of WWE Evolve a year ago, as Wendy just mentioned.
06:46But you have to admit, Kendall Gray, not just because of the title, she's a completely different superstar now than she was a year ago.
06:51Oh, yeah, absolutely.
06:52I mean, time just builds.
06:54And when you build, you get better.
06:55The more reps you get, you get better.
06:57But you've got to think about this.
06:58Kendall Gray changed Wendy Chu forever.
07:01She made her say, I quit.
07:02She made her talk.
07:03That changed everything about Wendy.
07:04Now what Wendy wants to do is change Kendall by taking that Evolve Women's Championship off of her.
07:10Now we know Wendy's a stalwart.
07:13She has done it in the business for a very long time.
07:16But how huge would a win be against Kendall Gray, who is on fire?
07:19It would be very huge.
07:20Dangerous place there, dangling on the apron.
07:22And there's that speed from Kendall Gray.
07:24Doing what she does best.
07:26This is what everybody is talking about when they see Kendall on NXT, when they see her on Evolve.
07:31The speed, the natural ring intuition.
07:34That is who Kendall Gray is.
07:36But she's in there with a very savvy veteran in Wendy Chu.
07:39Watch out.
07:40There's that speed again.
07:42A Wendy Chu pulling out all the stops to become Evolve Women's Champion.
07:48The sneaky athleticism of Wendy Chu.
07:50Our title match continues next.
07:55Montreal.
07:56It's fight weekend.
07:58I'm automatic and innovative because I have it.
08:01Friday night SmackDown throws the first punch.
08:04You want it.
08:05You got it.
08:05Welcome to Saturday night's main event.
08:08Saturday night's main event goes for the knockout.
08:10Unbelievable.
08:11WWE hits back-to-back nights at the Bell Center.
08:16All action.
08:18All weekend.
08:21Tickets on sale now.
08:27Welcome back to WWE Evolve on 2B.
08:31Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone ringside.
08:32What a treat.
08:33Look at this.
08:33Oh, watch out.
08:34That is Wendy Chu, the challenger, going after our champion Kendall Gray at a pin.
08:39Oh, man.
08:40And Kendall kicks out at two.
08:42Is there any chance, Robert, that just all the different stuff Kendall's doing could possibly spread her thin and weaken her in a match against Wendy Chu?
08:51Absolutely the busy you are.
08:52Wait a minute.
08:53Watch out.
08:53Another roll up there and a kick out at two.
08:55Oh, here we go back and forth.
08:56Turn it into another pin for Wendy.
08:57And Kendall kicks out.
08:59The more your body's going through, Peter, the more that you might not be ready for a match like this.
09:03And Wendy out at two and turns it into another pin and another reversal.
09:07And now Kendall will try to score a pin as these two ladies go back and forth.
09:11This has been nonstop kicks at the same time.
09:15They know each other so well.
09:16You said it earlier, punches at the same time.
09:18This is awesome.
09:19Oh, the double close line.
09:20And the thing is, Rob, it's not just about the physical toll, but Kendall, her career has changed in front of our very eyes.
09:28This is someone who, when we showed up a year ago, a lot of people knew nothing about her.
09:32She truly has become the it girl in pro wrestling.
09:35You just wonder mentally if it takes a toll.
09:37All of the different opportunities that she's getting right now.
09:40I know she's been the it girl with a target on her back, but you know what?
09:43She's been taking on all comers and she has been successful.
09:45But can she be successful against Wendy Chiu tonight?
09:48And the blows back and forth between Wendy and Kendall.
09:52You see big right hands from both.
09:54Oh, for the chop of Wendy Chiu.
09:58And now Kendall doing what she does best, but Wendy's still fighting back.
10:03I got to tell you, therapy has done something for Wendy Chiu.
10:06German suplex!
10:07She is a different person, and you see it not just in how she talks, Rob.
10:12What Wendy Chiu does in the ring as you see Kendall Gray enter the gray area.
10:17The gray grabs our account, and now she's going to do what she does best.
10:21Kendall is looking to bring it to Wendy Chiu, who wanted this challenge.
10:25As you see two boots down to Wendy Chiu and a pitfall for the champ.
10:29And a kick out at two.
10:31Oh, man.
10:31We've seen her do that double stop so many times, and I love watching it almost put Wendy Chiu away.
10:37The athleticism of Kendall Gray really impresses me time after time for a youngster she knows so much in the ring.
10:46But Wendy Chiu with Trix up her sleeve.
10:50Rob, as time goes on, does this match favor the veteran Wendy Chiu?
10:53I mean, again, only time will tell you would think it's 12 years versus two years experience.
10:57But Kendall's holding her own.
10:58Oh, watch out.
10:59Kendall could be in a bad spot right here.
11:01Wendy Chiu!
11:02Man!
11:02An opening and a neck breaker.
11:04Could that be enough to get the title off Kendall Gray?
11:07It's not.
11:09Peter's so close right there to Wendy Chiu becoming the new Evolve Women's Champion.
11:14You see the look on the face of Wendy Chiu.
11:19She thought she had the Evolve Women's Championship in her grasp.
11:23And now Kendall favoring that neck.
11:25That neck breaker affected.
11:26She's trying to hook her for that full Nelson that she often hits.
11:30Oh, watch out.
11:31Kendall had her scouted.
11:32And could this be dirt neck?
11:33Oh, man.
11:35If Wendy Chiu can fully lock in the dirt neck.
11:38I don't think she fully has it locked in.
11:40Oh!
11:41Kendall Gray wise and creative to get out of that there.
11:45But she's got that arm bar.
11:47It is fully locked in.
11:51Does she fully have it, Rob?
11:53No, no.
11:54Wendy is fighting it.
11:55I don't think she's gotten it.
11:56Her hands are clasped.
11:57Her hands are clasped.
11:58She is trying to get out.
12:01Oh, there's a pivot.
12:03Two.
12:04And Kendall kicks out.
12:06Oh, man.
12:07And caught her with that right to the chin.
12:10Can she capitalize?
12:12It looked like she needed to weaken Wendy Chiu a bit more in order to lock in that arm bar,
12:17which has done so many other competitors in against Kendall Gray.
12:22But now Kendall Gray goes up top.
12:23Oh, and Wendy's going to find her with an uppercut.
12:27In a match like this, you've got to put it all on the line.
12:29And that's what these two superstars are doing.
12:33Superplex from Wendy Chiu.
12:35Taking the champ down.
12:36Could that be enough?
12:37She held on, Peter.
12:38She's not done.
12:39Oh, another run.
12:42Brain buster.
12:44The pin.
12:44Could the title change hands?
12:47No, it doesn't.
12:49Goodness gracious, Robert Stone.
12:51I didn't know we were getting this to start off the night.
12:53This is more than winning a title for Wendy Chiu.
12:56It's about proving to herself that she can do this, that she can.
13:00And of course, the crowd here at the PC, very excited.
13:03We also have another incredible women's match later on between Carmen Petrovich and Callie Armstrong.
13:07But right now, the champ, Kendall Gray defending against Wendy Chiu.
13:12And Wendy looking to lock in the dirt now.
13:15No, full Nelson.
13:15She's going full Nelson slam.
13:17She was.
13:18Oh, nasty.
13:21Big chop to the champ.
13:24Looking for another neck breaker.
13:25Reversed.
13:26Shades of Grey.
13:27That could be it.
13:29One, two, three.
13:30Kendall Gray retains.
13:31Here is your winner.
13:35It's still WWE Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
13:43Considering Kendall Gray didn't know she was defending her title here tonight.
13:48You have to be incredibly impressed with what Kendall was able to do as she holds off Wendy Chiu.
13:56Rob, take us through the match.
13:57Well, the impromptu championship match delivered in all aspects.
14:03Wendy Chiu brought the physicality like only she can.
14:07But in the end, it was the boss lady who kept her incredible momentum going as Kendall Gray defeated Wendy to retain the championship.
14:15Very, very impressive win for Kendall Gray.
14:19The champ continues to impress.
14:24Kendall Gray reigns supreme here on Evolve.
14:27Hey, Kendall, keep doing your thing as champ.
14:34Because I know her path's going to cross again.
14:36But tonight, I'm focused on Carmen Petrovich.
14:39So, Carmen, you keep asking how I'm getting all these opportunities.
14:44But I don't see you doing nothing trying to work your way to the top other than running your mouth.
14:48You damn right I carried this division on my back as a first-ever Evolve Women's Champion.
14:53You must have forgotten.
14:55I already ran through you once when a title was on the line.
14:59And tonight, it ain't going to be no different.
15:02I'm all gas, no brakes, until I get that title back.
15:05Now get out of my way.
15:06How did you find out about this place again?
15:33I told you, in my giant stack of fan mail, there was an invitation for a free psychic reading.
15:39Okay.
15:42I've been waiting for you.
15:44You knew we were coming?
15:47Oh, yeah, psychic, right.
15:49I have so many questions.
15:53Am I going to make my first billion next year?
15:56Or this year?
15:56Oh, also, who am I sitting next to at the Grammys?
15:59Oh, wait, also, am I going to make champ soon?
16:08Oh.
16:10Oh.
16:11Oh, my.
16:14Ooh.
16:15What?
16:18Oh.
16:19Oh.
16:20So, is that good?
16:23There's much darkness in your lifelines.
16:26Oh, no.
16:28What do you mean?
16:30Let's ask the cards.
16:34Five of Swords.
16:36Conflict.
16:38Hollow victory.
16:42The Ten of Swords.
16:44Suffering.
16:45Pain.
16:47I can't hit.
16:49Why?
16:49The Tower.
16:55Like the Sunset Tower.
16:57Ooh.
16:57Ow.
16:59Destruction.
17:00Destruction.
17:10You must change your ways.
17:12Yeah, I promise.
17:13Because we'll change our ways.
17:15You must change your ways.
17:17You must change your ways.
17:19You must change your ways.
17:20You must change your ways.
17:21You must change your ways.

17:45You must change your ways.
17:46A special congratulations to the newest members of the NXT roster.
18:00Eli Knight, Keanu Carver, The Vanity Project's Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.
18:05The WWE Evolved Champion, Jackson Drake.
18:08And rounding up the group, none other than Super Sean Legacy.
18:12These are names to watch with massive futures ahead of them.
18:15And while they may be headed to NXT, they've still got unfinished business here on Evolved.
18:19So catch these fast-rising stars every Tuesday on NXT and every Wednesday right here on 2B on WWE Evolved.
18:28Congrats, guys.
18:32The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
18:35Introducing first from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
18:39Wigging at 180 pounds, Marcus Mathers.
18:43All right, who is ready for some PC versus ID talent here on Evolved?
18:51Well, Peter, there you see the WWE ID prospects all watching in the locker room.
18:57Cheering the finest Marcus Mathers on because they know he needs this win.
19:01They need it.
19:02They're watching.
19:02They're supporting him.
19:03And he knows that they're there.
19:04Absolutely, momentum would be key going into next week when, of course, we are going to see the PC talent run roughshod and run this show, Evolved.
19:16Marcus Mathers, very impressive whenever we see him, often in tag action and, of course, as a singles competitor as well.
19:23And his opponent from Goxdale, New Hampshire, swinging at 240 pounds, Braxton Cole.
19:41And there he is, representing the PC.
19:46And there you see Peter in the PC locker room, just like the ID prospects were supporting Marcus Mathers.
19:52All the PC talent are supporting Braxton Cole for this match.
19:56They're ready to see him get a win for sure.
19:59I don't understand supporting Braxton Cole.
20:02What do you mean, not understand supporting Braxton Cole?
20:05I mean, just look at this guy.
20:06That's exactly the thing.
20:08I'm looking at Braxton Cole.
20:09I see a great athlete.
20:11He's got a great look.
20:12He's very talented.
20:12Let's not forget Ivy League.
20:14He got a master's degree.
20:15The dude only eats red meat and fruit.
20:17You've got to respect him for that.
20:20Why do I have to respect him for that?
20:21Because who could pull that off?
20:23Look how great this guy looks.
20:24He's in great shape.
20:25There's no question.
20:26Didn't you go to an Ivy League school?
20:27Nah, Kane University.
20:29Kane University.
20:30That's how much the man loves wrestling.
20:32Peter, next week it goes down.
20:36The PC talent are running the show.
20:38In two weeks, Cam Hendricks gets his title shot
20:41against Jackson Drake for the Evolve Championship.
20:44A lot coming up.
20:45This match, a lot of odds are on it.
20:46It's absolutely correct, Rob.
20:48And that's why this is such an important match
20:50from a momentum standpoint.
20:52I think, Rob, is it fair to say,
20:53as you see a strike early on from Mathers,
20:56is it fair to say this might be more important
20:58for the ID talent who knows they have the deck
21:00stacked against the next week?
21:01Of course, going into next week, they want to win.
21:03And right now, Marcus Mathers is trying to do that.
21:05Ducking and dodging a few drop kicks.
21:07But the size difference looks like it's catching up to him.
21:10And you have to wonder how much confidence
21:13it would just bring that ID locker room
21:15that we just saw if Marcus Mathers
21:17can get a win here tonight.
21:22There's some of that athleticism for Braxton Cole.
21:25What do you think, Rob, we can expect
21:26from the PC talent running the show next week here on Evolve?
21:30Honestly, it's just like I say about Evolve all the time.
21:33It's expecting unexpected.
21:34Who knows what these guys have up their sleeves?
21:36But what I know right now is Braxton Cole
21:38is putting elbows, is putting hands to Marcus Mathers.
21:41That's right, Braxton Cole certainly in control
21:43right here early on and taking it to the ground
21:46on Marcus Mathers, who certainly would prefer
21:49for this match to be a bit higher paced.
21:52That's where Marcus Mathers does his best damage.
21:54Would you agree?
21:55Yeah, but Braxton Cole's a guy who checks every box.
21:58Braxton Cole's a guy who has been waiting
21:59for opportunities in matches like this.
22:01A lot of strength behind everything.
22:04Braxton Cole does, goes for the pin
22:06and a kickout at two for Marcus Mathers.
22:08And let's not also forget something.
22:10I mean, there's a reason why no one's at ringside right now.
22:13Both sides, the PC talent side, the WWE ID prospects,
22:17they're not allowed at ringside for this match.
22:19Absolutely not trying to keep things in order
22:21before we get to next week
22:22where the PC will have complete control.
22:24They have already announced a three-on-one handicap match
22:26where Riggins, Presley, and Keanu
22:28take on Jackson Drake.
22:29And then, Cam Hendricks with a title shot
22:31against Jackson Drake the following week.
22:36And how impressive again, I gotta say.
22:38This has been all Braxton Cole.
22:40Still working on Mathers' neck.
22:43I gotta tell you, I've been impressed by Cam Hendricks.
22:45As obnoxious as he is.
22:48Oh, another neckbreaker.
22:49Just really honing in.
22:50You gotta love it.
22:51And a pin for Braxton Cole.
22:53And Marcus Mathers kicks out.
22:55Got to see Cam Hendricks in the ring
22:57with eyeshow speed.
22:58Not something I expected to see.
23:01And of course, he handled business
23:02against the internet god.
23:05Eyeshow speed as well.
23:06As you see Braxton Cole
23:07looking to go back to work
23:09on Marcus Mathers.
23:10Yeah, really focusing on that neck area.
23:14Very smart.
23:15Take a body part off Mathers.
23:18And he definitely loses feeling.
23:20That could go all the way down his whole body.
23:22What does that feel like, Stone?
23:23Do you want me to try it on you right now, Peter?
23:25I mean, can you imagine?
23:26Look at what's happening right now.
23:28His head is twisted almost around his whole body.
23:31He is twisting the head and neck region
23:34of Marcus Mathers.
23:36That has to take a toll.
23:38These are two newcomers.
23:40They're both hungry.
23:41They're both still unproven.
23:43They're trying to carve their name
23:44into the wall of Evolve.
23:46But of course, that's the big difference
23:48with PC and ID talent.
23:50These are all very young, talented people.
23:52But it's about how they go about
23:54learning professional wrestling.
23:56Well, it seems like Braxton's learning a lot.
23:59Although Marcus learned that he was going
24:01for another neck breaker
24:02and held on to the ropes.
24:03Can he mount something here?
24:05Oh, and I got to say,
24:07I can't be so sure that everyone in the PC
24:09is represented by Team PC.
24:11This is a very specific group they have.
24:14Beautiful!
24:15As you see the athleticism of Marcus Mathers.
24:18Well, you can see it in his eyes.
24:20He's trying to get something going here.
24:22He's young.
24:23He's hungry.
24:23He's fueled by passion.
24:25And you see the strikes from Mathers
24:29who wanted to get this match up
24:32in the air if he can.
24:34Here we go!
24:34And there you see the flying of Marcus Mathers.
24:37Once he gets going, he does not stop.
24:39I'll tell you that.
24:40Oh!
24:41And even as he favors that neck,
24:44manages to get it done.
24:46He's taking it to Braxton Cole.
24:48Wait a minute.
24:48That's a big...
24:50Watch out!
24:52And a pin as well!
24:53Braxton Cole kicking out at two.
24:57And as I mentioned,
24:58Mathers still favoring the neck.
25:00Cole had really cinched in on him there
25:02for a couple of minutes.
25:03And you see it has taken a toll on Mathers.
25:06But he's sore.
25:09He's tired all the time, Peter.
25:11He's wrestling a few times a week,
25:13but he loves every second of it.
25:15He is 24-7 with this.
25:17He's been in this situation before.
25:18Yeah!
25:21You see the big strike there from Marcus Mathers.
25:23Looking for a suplex.
25:27Oh!
25:28That was impressive!
25:29Braxton Cole reverses it.
25:31Pins Mathers, who kicks out at two.
25:36Very used to seeing Marcus Mathers in action with Aaron Warp.
25:41They've been a really fun tag team to watch,
25:43but always a treat to get to see Mathers in singles action.
25:46But his hands are full with the young PC stud, Braxton Cole.
25:51And look at Braxton showing the power.
25:54Oof!
25:56Mathers fighting out now.
25:58Fighting for his life, it looks like.
26:00That's right, but also going back to the neck now
26:02of Braxton Cole, using that elbow effectively.
26:07He held on!
26:09That's right.
26:10Cole went for a European uppercut.
26:12Mathers reversed it, trying to hit that backslide,
26:14but he can't get the big man down, Stone.
26:19And now Cole with the power reverses it.
26:21Mathers reverses out of that.
26:23And there's the enziguri.
26:26That was a different way to catch him with that.
26:28Wow, and another kick.
26:29Mathers so good at using different parts.
26:32Oh, I love that kick.
26:33That is so cool, man.
26:35Wraps around, basically manages to stand behind you
26:39and still kick you right in the face.
26:42And now Mathers looking to go up top.
26:44What is Cam Hendricks doing here?
26:46What is this guy doing here?
26:48Well, why is Marcus taking his eyes off the mat?
26:50Don't worry about Cam.
26:52Watch out.
26:53Cole out of the way.
26:55Oh!
26:56And Mathers went after Cam instead.
26:59And now the roll-up for Braxton Cole.
27:01Two, three.
27:02That'll do it.
27:03Here is your winner, Braxton Cole.
27:11Always dirty, always underhanded.
27:14This team PC, that's what I'm saying.
27:16That'll be a big shot.
27:17Oh, Cam Hendricks.
27:21And taking out the leg of Marcus Mathers.
27:26What?
27:27And now Braxton Cole looking to go to work on Marcus Mathers.
27:32Wow.
27:33Hold on.
27:33There you see that the ID prospects are locked in their locker room.
27:37They can't get out here to help Marcus Mathers.
27:40Hold on.
27:41Cam's got a chair.
27:42Come on.
27:42I mean, this ain't cool.
27:43No one is around to help him, Peter.
27:48And now they're trying to take out Marcus Mathers.
27:51And oh!
27:51Oh my God!
27:52Come on!
27:53Cam Hendricks from the second rope stomping on that chair and crushing the ankle of Marcus
28:00Mathers.
28:01How do you like that?
28:05Clearly sending a message to the ID talent.
28:10Well, Peter, you see here the PC talent, of course, celebrating in their locker room.
28:16They love that Marcus Mathers' career could be ended from this situation.
28:21Absolutely disgusting.
28:25That's what we call it.
28:26That's what we call it.
28:27We run the show.
28:28That's how we run the show.
28:29We run the show.
28:30That's how we do it.
28:30Hey, hey, hey, yo.
28:31Hey, what you got going on, bro?
28:33Easy.
28:33Easy, Keanu.
28:35Now listen, he's not the biggest people person guy.
28:37I know.
28:38But he's a killer.
28:39A killer.
28:39Stone cold.
28:41That's true.
28:42Let's lie.
28:43All good.
28:45Now look, everyone knows we got control.
28:46We?
28:47Who was we?
28:49We got control of next week's episode of Evolve, right?
28:54Damn right we do.
28:55Damn right.
28:55Sir.
28:56And I know we're looking for a few people to inflict some pain on those ID clowns.
29:01Keep talking.
29:02Right, right.
29:03Well, hear me out.
29:05Let me be one of those guys.
29:07Let me inflict some pain.
29:08More specifically, let me inflict some pain on Cappuccino Jones.
29:12See, that little punk, what he did to me in that gauntlet match a few weeks ago, not only
29:17will I win the match, but I'll knock his freaking head off his freaking shoulders.
29:21All right.
29:21So what do you think about it, Keanu?
29:24Please tell me what you think about it.
29:28Okay, Brooks, I can rock with that, Brody.
29:30Hell yeah.
29:31Yeah, I think we can make that happen.
29:33There's no secret.
29:34And more.
29:34That's right, playboy.
29:36We got some things cooking for you.
29:38Sounds good.
29:39This guy comes from.
29:40I don't know, but the energy.
29:42He got to those thumbs, bro.
29:45Team PC, Team ID, tensions at an all-time high, and Carmen Petrovich has got something to prove.
29:51Tonight, she steps into the ring with the omega of the women's division, Callie Armstrong,
29:56with major title implications at stake.
29:59The wait is over.
30:00Next on EVOL.
30:04This is Lucha Libre AAA.
30:07Real flight.
30:12Real energy.
30:15Real impact.
30:18This isn't just a show.
30:20It's tradition.
30:22It's Lucha Libre AAA.
30:24King of the Lucha Lord.
30:25Real excitement.
30:27Right in front of you.
30:29Experience it live.
30:31Tickets on sale now.
30:39Yeah.
30:40Hi, Triple H.
30:41Mania Pitches just came in.
30:42Top of your inbox.
30:44I will take a look now.
30:45Thank you.
30:48This should be interesting.
30:51Hey, Paul.
30:52Peyton Manning.
30:53Hey, Paul.
30:54What's going on, man?
30:55Jomberto here.
30:56Hey, what's up, Triple H?
30:57Triple H.
30:59It's Eric Andre.
31:00What are we looking to see, bro?
31:01Bonjour, Mr. Levesque.
31:02Here's my pitch.
31:03It's a little different.
31:04Get out of here.
31:04This is what I'm thinking.
31:05Eli and I tag team at WrestleMania.
31:08What I'm interested in is Dom Mysterio, the musical.
31:13Seriously.
31:14I've already shown everybody what I can do at the world's most famous arena.
31:17Imagine what I can do at WrestleMania 42.
31:18What's the right way for me to come back?
31:20I don't think it's on the court, necessarily.
31:22I think it's in the ring.
31:23At Legion Stadium, big boat comes to you.
31:25And I walk away as the new women's champion.
31:29Starting to regret asking for these.
31:31I'm going to bring the ultimate energy.
31:33Let's go, baby.
31:34Here we go.
31:34I like the mat with his greasy ass hair.
31:36Can you just tell him my email's down?
31:38Triple H.
31:38You little f***ing sissy.
31:40Let me know when I can come wrestle.
31:42I like to...
31:43Is that even legal?
31:46Are we on a video here?
31:47What's happening here?
31:48What's going on?
31:49We're challenging him to play at WrestleMania.
31:50Oh, s***.
31:51Did you go to his office?
31:52I am your man.
31:53I stand by.
31:54Put me in, Paul.
31:54Let me shock the world.
31:55Let's try it out.
31:57Woo!
31:57He's back in Vegas.
32:02It is going to be a long road to WrestleMania.
32:17Do you think I give a damn that Cam Hendricks, Keanu Carver, and all those Stooges are running
32:34the show next week?
32:36That doesn't matter to me.
32:37But I heard that Jackson Drake will be here next week.
32:45Which means I will be here next week.
32:49Team PC and Team ID, they could tear each other to shreds.
32:52They could do whatever they want to do.
32:53But while they're fighting for control, I'll be fighting for gold.
32:57Because mark my words, Harlem Lewis is the next Evolve champion.
33:07In the midst of the WWE ID and PC drama, Harlem Lewis stands with an absolute confidence
33:15focused on one goal, becoming the Evolve champion.
33:21Too strong, Callie Armstrong has a chip on her shoulder, Robert Stone, and rightfully so.
33:27Peter, it has been 98 days since she has been the Evolve Women's Champion, and believe me,
33:32she is counting every one of them.
33:34She needs this win tonight to get back on track if she wants to get another title shot,
33:40if she wants to get in the title picture.
33:42It is so important for her to be victorious tonight.
33:46Let me tell you something, the way she just walked to the ring, I am feeling it.
33:49Tonight can be her night.
33:51Absolutely.
33:52Callie Armstrong looking to make a statement against Carmen Petrovic tonight.
33:58But, of course, that will be no easy feat.
34:01We know what Carmen Petrovic is all about and how important this match is to her as well.
34:06As you see Carmen, who has made her intentions clear,
34:13she knows how important a win against the former champ would be, Rob.
34:18She sure does.
34:21You've got to remember something.
34:22Carmen went straight to Callie Armstrong, and she called her out.
34:25She said in 2025, that was your year, but 2026 isn't going to be.
34:30She's sick of someone like Callie Armstrong getting all the opportunities,
34:33and she wants opportunities in 2026.
34:36She said that Callie Armstrong isn't the hype, and that she's the hype.
34:40Tonight, time will tell if that's true.
34:42Both of these women have to see all the amazing things happening for Kendall Gray
34:48and think that should be my opportunity.
34:50Let's go to Blake Howard with our ring announcements.
34:52The following contest scheduled for one fall is your Evolve main event.
35:01Introducing first, from Englewood, California, Callie Armstrong.
35:11Let's go.
35:12And her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Carmen Petrovic.
35:37Here we go, Stone.
35:39Callie Armstrong and Carmen Petrovic, two of the best natural athletes here in WWE Evil.
35:46And look at Callie Armstrong starting this off overconfident, showing why this is her ring.
35:52She said all gas, no brakes.
35:53She's back.
35:56Second time, just throwing Carmen off.
35:59Maybe Carmen isn't ready for a former Evolve Women's Champion like a Callie Armstrong.
36:03Callie Armstrong was such a great champion, and I just have to imagine if I was Callie Armstrong,
36:10and I had been the face of the women's division early on, I would be so desperate to get back to that spot.
36:16When you see all the opportunities that Kendall is now getting on NXT.
36:21Yeah, well, right now, Peter, she's getting backed up to the corner with those kicks.
36:24Absolutely right.
36:26And Carmen Petrovic in control early.
36:28She's going to pin the former champ.
36:29He'll kick out at two.
36:30You've got to remember something.
36:32Carmen Petrovic, she hasn't won every match she's been in Evolve, but she has not been pinned or submitted.
36:37As you see Tyra Mae Steele in the VIP lounge, I've done some actual journalism here, Stone.
36:43I've got some news.
36:44Oh, man.
36:45Tyra Mae Steele, I've learned, is here in WWE Evolve to stay.
36:50It's official.
36:53That proves that the Evolve Women's Division here is growing.
36:59Absolutely huge to get the Olympian, the gold medalist, Tyra Mae Steele, here on Evolve.
37:07As you see, Callie Armstrong going to work on the midsection of Carmen Petrovic.
37:10Well, as you can see right now, both of these two are going at it, and Carmen is more of a striker.
37:15Great reversal into a pin.
37:18Callie is going to have to use her power because Carmen has that unorthodox offense,
37:23something that is hard to prepare for.
37:25You don't know what she's going to throw at you.
37:26So Callie maybe came into this a little too overconfident and didn't do her homework,
37:31and she's taken Carmen too lightly.
37:33It's absolutely true.
37:34Even though both are incredible athletes, they use that athleticism in different ways.
37:38You mentioned how Carmen comes at you from different angles, uses her feet so well.
37:43And with Callie, of course, you have speed, but you have so much power,
37:46and you always have to watch out for the Callie connection.
37:48Carmen right now with the arm locked in, feeling that Xing Xing squad behind her, rooting her on.
37:57You know she's going to bust out some of the Xing Xing action as this match goes on,
38:01as Callie tries to find a way out of this arm bar.
38:04Man, the knee to the gut from Callie Armstrong, and there's that power,
38:09but Carmen finds a way out.
38:10It doesn't have to be pretty to be effective.
38:14Man, Callie.
38:16Outside the ring, Callie goes.
38:18Down to the floor, and now what's Carmen Petrovich looking to do?
38:22What's Carmen?
38:23She's flying.
38:24Oh, the time.
38:25Come on.
38:26Take it out.
38:27Callie Armstrong, both ladies outside the ring.
38:30Our main event continues next.
38:32Make a difference now.
38:33It's Saturday night's main event.
38:40This one is going to be wild.
38:50High stakes.
38:52High pressure.
38:54And we are just getting started.
38:58Saturday night's main event in Montreal.
39:01Saturday.
39:03They say in Vegas,
39:12everyone's got to tell.
39:18A blink.
39:21A breath.
39:23A moment that can't be controlled.
39:27But the great ones,
39:29they use it to their advantage.
39:32They own it.
39:33They've got them right
39:36where they want them.
39:46The rest
39:47just haven't figured it out yet.
39:50I like
39:55WrestleMania Vegas.
39:57I like
39:58it's anyone's game.
40:03Peter, it's been all Callie Armstrong through the break.
40:10Some great action.
40:11Just like we're going to see great action in Montreal this weekend.
40:14Saturday night's main event.
40:15I am pumped.
40:16And during the break,
40:17and during the break,
40:21Callie with that fist to the face of Carmen,
40:24and then follows it up,
40:26and you see the power,
40:27the strength of Callie Armstrong.
40:29Callie's still in control right now.
40:31Carmen,
40:33her really feeling it,
40:34the midsection right now.
40:36Yeah,
40:36but this is what I'm talking about with Callie.
40:38Is she at the point of being too confident?
40:40I'm not used to seeing her talk so much to that to take her time,
40:43but wow,
40:44she just took Carmen's head off with that.
40:47I got to tell you,
40:48Callie Armstrong's a frigging star.
40:50That's all I could say.
40:51You look at Callie Armstrong,
40:53she jumps off the page.
40:54She's getting better and better
40:55as she eats a knee from Carmen Petrovic.
40:58She's a star,
40:59a star that needs a win,
41:00a star that needs to get back at it.
41:02You're absolutely right.
41:03And wear off these kicks
41:04Carmen's catching her.
41:05Oof!
41:05100% correct.
41:06You see the back elbow there
41:07from Carmen Petrovic.
41:09And a big fist from Carmen as well.
41:10And here's that shing-shing action
41:12I was talking about.
41:13Yeah,
41:13once she gets going.
41:14In the feet!
41:16Once Carmen gets going,
41:18oh,
41:19momentum works in her favor,
41:20and you see the speed picking up
41:21as she goes on.
41:23What you looking for here?
41:24Again,
41:25the use of those feet stuff.
41:26Ninja-like rapid fire
41:28kicks.
41:28She can catch it with
41:29out of nowhere.
41:30Shing blade.
41:31And a pin on Callie.
41:33Two!
41:35Wow.
41:36Almost had the pin
41:38on the former
41:39Evolve Women's Champion.
41:41Peter,
41:41what a main event.
41:42What a match.
41:43What a night it's been.
41:44We saw Kendall Gray
41:45defend the Evolve
41:46Women's Championship
41:47to start things off
41:48against Wendy Chiu.
41:50And now,
41:51here we are
41:52at our main event.
41:53The women's division
41:55thriving on Evolve.
41:56Carmen Petrovic
41:57and Callie Armstrong
41:58looking to get their shot
42:01at the women's champ.
42:03There's Callie.
42:04We've seen her
42:04hit this power slam before.
42:06I know what she's going for.
42:08Oh, and Carmen wisely
42:09gets out of it.
42:09Well,
42:10cut a roll.
42:10and a kick out at two.
42:14There's the slam
42:15from Callie.
42:16Hey, you know
42:16what is next, Peter.
42:18You know what comes next.
42:20You gotta watch out
42:21if you're Carmen Petrovic.
42:22I would stay down.
42:24Don't even get to your feet.
42:26Oh, she avoids
42:27the Callie connection.
42:28She sidestepped it.
42:29And then the kick.
42:31Petrifier.
42:33Wait a minute.
42:34She's second Petrifier.
42:36Is this happening?
42:37Is Carmen Petrovic
42:39going to finish?
42:40Callie Armstrong.
42:41She does.
42:44Here is your winner.
42:46Carmen Petrovic.
42:50What an immense win
42:52for Carmen Petrovic
42:55in our main event.
42:56As you see,
42:58Tyra Mae Steele,
42:59who's officially here
42:59with us permanently
43:00on Evolve,
43:01looking on
43:02Carmen Petrovic.
43:04Stone,
43:04she's thrusting herself
43:05right into the title picture.
43:07Made her hands down.
43:08That was the biggest
43:08match of her career.
43:10Therefore,
43:10it was the biggest
43:10win of her career.
43:13All right,
43:13let's take a look back
43:14at what happened, Stone.
43:15Some of the action
43:16in this matchup.
43:17Carmen Petrovic
43:17showed her aerial offense
43:19taken to the sky.
43:21And then, of course,
43:21Callie Armstrong
43:22used her power
43:23and offensive prowess,
43:25but it wasn't enough
43:26as Carmen Petrovic
43:28scored the massive victory
43:29with two Petrifiers.
43:31One, two, three.
43:33Unbelievable win.
43:35Carmen Petrovic
43:36deserves to celebrate.
43:38That was my biggest win
43:39in Evolve to this day.
43:44Now, listen,
43:46it seems to me
43:47like the gold-blooded
43:48is the number one contender
43:50for that woman's
43:51Evolve championship.
43:54So, Kendall Gray,
43:55I got next.
44:00Wow, quite a statement.
44:03And here comes the champ.
44:06What does Kendall Gray
44:07have to say?
44:08Let's go next week.
44:15And we will.
44:16I've got to run it anytime,
44:18anyplace,
44:18but next week,
44:19I don't stop.
44:20I've had title defense tonight,
44:21and I'll do it again next week.
44:22All right, so let's go.
44:23Let's go.
44:23All day, all day.
44:25The Ice Woman
44:26refuses to slow down,
44:27but wait,
44:28I'm getting word,
44:29Cam Hendricks
44:29is backstage with TPC.
44:31Let's get backstage
44:32and find out what he has to say.
44:33Nah,
44:34that match ain't happening next week.
44:36That's right, man.
44:36It's our week.
44:38We run things now.
44:39Man,
44:40I already got a preview
44:41when Marcus Maddox went down.
44:42It's gonna be a full-blown
44:44nightmare for them boys next week.
44:45Yeah,
44:46and everything that happens
44:46is justified.
44:48That reminds me of that
44:48Tate Wilder clown.
44:50There's consequences
44:50for his choices.
44:51The plan is set.
44:52Y'all take care of
44:53Jackson Drake next week.
44:54Yeah, baby.
44:54Until we stop
44:55becoming a ball champion,
44:56then we take control of everything.
44:57Yeah, baby.
44:58It's our show.
