03:15future superstars to a WWE brand and the evolution of the athletes inside their-
03:20Welcome to Succession!
03:25Welcome to Succession!
03:30Welcome to Succession!
03:35Welcome to Succession!
03:40Welcome to Succession!
03:45As we welcome in our challenger right here, Bryce-
03:50Donovan standing before us with the biggest opportunity of his young career, but it didn't have-
03:55Open overnight.
03:56Now let's take a look back on the rivalry between two friends, now bitter enemies.
04:00Party's here, look who it is!
04:05What gigantic individual is that?
04:08He appears to be backing up-
04:10Swipe right, and Shayna!
04:13These are us!
04:14We got his-
04:15We got his back, same way he has ours!
04:17Yeah.
04:18Brad Baylor and Ricky Spokes, Zeta Steele-
04:20Jackson Drake, Bryce Donovan, seems like some sort of vanity project.
04:25Play around like nothing's wrong, counting the cost-
04:30You think you think you're-
04:31I'm so tired of this-
04:32I'm so tired of this-
04:35I'm so tired of this-
04:36I'm so tired of this-
04:37You take my credit and I drink your blood!
04:39Ah!
04:40You've been the weak stock of the Bambi Project.
04:45You need a lot, man.
04:46Keanu Carver earned a shot against Jackson Gray.
04:50My God, Jonathan going to work with that chair, he had to.
04:55Have his big, his muscle, Bryce Donovan come out and take out Keanu.
05:00The problem solver actually solved the problem for once.
05:05Who's the next challenger?
05:09There is no.
05:10The next challenger for once in your life.
05:15Shut the hell up.
05:18You are all the worst.
05:20Human beings I have ever met in my entire life.
05:25What?
05:27I am done.
05:30With the Bambi Project.
05:33My goodness.
05:35Stay underneath your boots.
05:40Rise up.
05:40I'll do something new.
05:43That's succession.
05:44I'm going to be.
05:45The new WWE of all champions.
05:50Let's go.
05:53Let's go.
05:55Are you kidding me?
05:58Bryce Donovan and the Bambi Project.
06:00Bambi Project are done.
06:03Bryce Donovan will get his job.
06:05Chance at succession.
06:10Dwight the opportunity here tonight for that young man.
06:15Let's go.
06:16Let's go.
06:17Let's go.
06:18Let's go.
06:19Let's go.
06:20Let's go.
06:24Let's go.
06:25Oh, boost the power because the power.
06:30Marty is here.
06:32Blake, it's Evolve's biggest show ever.
06:34And VP is in.
06:35He's in the house and they are ready to go.
06:38Rob, I'm surprised you're not trying to take Donovan's spot.
06:40In the Vanity Project.
06:41I mean, come on.
06:42You know for life I'm an honorary VP member.
06:45Well, you of course know the voice there of Rob Stone.
06:49I'm Blake Howard as we welcome.
06:50You're Evolve champion.
06:51We've certainly seen the target on his back as he staved off challenges.
06:55And the likes of Lince Dorado, Keanu Carver, and Brooks Jensen in a triple threat.
06:59But does it look like he might have some.
07:00Breathing Room, Rob, who puts Bryce Donovan too far into the position we find ourselves
07:05in today.
07:05Jackson Drake is a guy that's got swagger backed by skill.
07:09He's too good to be liked.
07:10So who would like him?
07:10I get it, but he is our Evolve champion.
07:14And what a great champion.
07:15Certainly a couple weeks ago, we saw Keanu Carver earn this opportunity, knocking off Brooks
07:20Jensen.
07:20But Bryce Donovan fixed a potential problem for the Vanity Project.
07:24Did a complete 180.
07:25Now finds him.
07:25himself three seconds away from a title.
07:27Now let's head to Mike Romo, ring announcer, is at the table.
07:30The following contest scheduled for one fall is for...
07:35The WWE Evolve Champion!
07:40The WWE Evolve Champion!
07:41The WWE Evolve Champion!

07:51From...
07:52Long Beach, New York!
07:53Weighing in!
07:54And...
07:55They're like a debt.
07:56That's what BLM afterwards is.
07:57Weighing in!
07:58At...
07:59£200!
08:00and £30!
08:02price!
08:00Donovan!
08:05And his opponents!
08:10Representing the Vanity Project.
08:13Weighing in at 100.
08:15And 88 pounds, he is the WWE.
08:20Evolve Champion, Jackson!
08:25Jackson, Drake!
08:30Champion and challenger in right here, Rob.
08:32Big fight feel, certainly starting a night of huge-
08:35opportunities all across Evolve in succession.
08:38Yeah, I mean this thing between these two-
08:40is very, very personal, you gotta think.
08:42No rivalry cuts deeper than one-
08:45born out of friendship.
08:46I mean, they know each other's strengths, their weaknesses.
08:48Tonight, they will use-
08:50both as weapons, I promise you that.
08:52Oh!
08:53And right out of the gate, Jackson-
08:55Drake.
08:56Putting that hand right across the face of Bryce Donovan.
08:58Rob, you alluded to our personal this-
09:00you see Bryce Donovan right out of the gate!
09:02Oh my god!
09:03Black hole slam, will that do it?
09:04Into the cover!
09:05And just like that, almost in record time, Rob,
09:07we saw a new champ!
09:08Well, I was not expecting things to start-
09:10that fast, but here we are, it is succession!
09:13As Jackson Drake tried to crawl to his feet, right here-
09:15out of the gate, dropped that big swinging black hole slam.
09:17Bryce Donovan came to fight tonight.
09:20Well, he's got nothing to lose, which makes him a very dangerous man, and he's-
09:25showing that right now, and hey, you gotta remember, he has a size advantage in this-
09:28a big one!
09:30Indeed he does, as Donovan, looking to assert that right here, for many weeks, the vanity project-
09:35has looked at Bryce Donovan potentially as a weak link, but we certainly aren't seeing that right here.
09:39Yeah, well-
09:40Time will tell, we'll see how this match goes, if Bryce Donovan can keep this dynamic offense going.
09:45We gotta find out, but the end of this match is gonna have a big result to see where it goes from here.
09:50We'll see Donovan sending a message to all the members of the vanity project right here, just lacing in to the evolved-
09:55champion Jackson Drake, it was just a week ago. Donovan put pen to paper, drove Drake through that-
10:00table, certainly sending a message to the entire vanity project.
10:03Yeah, well, he proved that he cares more-
10:05Wait a second-
10:06Oh! Oh, I mean for-
10:07Keep your eyes on the prize!
10:08We knew the numbers game might play an advantage-
10:10Brad Baylor, one half of Swipe Right getting wiped out right here by Bryce Donovan-
10:15Down goes Ricky Smokes! See, Bryce Donovan knows better than this!
10:19There's Zeta Steele-
10:20Keep your eyes on the champion!
10:21And that's what happens!
10:22Tope Suicida to the outside, Jackson Drake-
10:25laying them out right here, and that numbers game playing a role.
10:30As Drake looking to stay in control right here, the tides-
10:35swinging his direction.
10:36And that's just like we've seen the vanity project do for many months on-
10:39Yeah, well-
10:40Look at him right now!
10:41Now it's their time to get their pose!
10:43Complete control-
10:44Wait a-
10:45Wait a second!
10:46Some chaos here!
10:47I mean, you knew-
10:48You knew Keanu was somewhere-
10:50If you're watching this, this was gonna happen at some point.
10:52Jackson Drake seeing his worst nightmare in the form of Keanu-
10:55However, the man who rightfully earned the number one contendership to the Evolve Championship-
10:59We're losing-
11:00He's in control right here!
11:01But the question is, who's leaving Succession as Evolve Champion?
11:05Sorry-
11:06증션-
11:10Right
11:10I don't know.
11:15I don't know.
11:20I don't know.
11:25I don't know.
11:30I don't know.
11:35Back here on Evolve Succession.
11:40I don't know.
11:42I don't know.
11:44I don't know.
11:45I don't know.
11:46I don't know.
11:47I don't know.
11:48I don't know.
11:49I don't know.
11:50I don't know.
11:51I don't know.
11:52I don't know.
11:53I don't know.
11:54I don't know.
11:55I don't know.
11:56I don't know.
11:57I don't know.
11:58I don't know.
11:59I don't know.
12:00I don't know.
12:01I don't know.
12:02I don't know.
12:03I don't know.
12:04I don't know.
12:05I don't know.
12:06I don't know.
12:07I don't know.
12:08I don't know.
12:09I don't know.
12:10I don't know.
12:11I don't know.
12:12I don't know.
12:13I don't know.
12:14I have no idea.
12:16I'm scared of their former friend Bryce Donovan.
12:17Scared.
12:18What are you trying to say Blake?
12:19As Donovan.
12:20As Donovan.
12:17going right after Ricky smokes here.
12:20This is the problem, he's not worried about who his opponent is.
12:22How would Jackson Drake be scared, he's a true champion.
12:25He doesn't hide from a fight, he lives for it.
12:27We're talking months of built up frustrations here.
12:30We've seen many times the vanity project on Evolve.
12:32Not really respecting their former partner.
12:34He's a student of the game, he's an apprentice of the craft.
12:37As Jackson Drake finds himself meeting the middle turnbuckle right there as Bryce Donovan.
12:42Trying to bring some feeling back into that knee and Donovan uses that extension yet
12:46again to wipe out the .
12:47He's a champion here.
12:48Yeah, but he's in a lot of pain, I'm telling you.
12:51Look, Bryce Donovan, amazing athlete.
12:52I'm not taking anything away from him.
12:54It's just he's gotta focus on what's important and that's winning this match.
12:57At a high elevation, down goes Jackson Drake.
12:59Now Bryce Donovan might be looking at light at the end of the tunnel.
13:02Here, Rob, we know over the last 175 days since Jackson Drake became Evolve champion.
13:07He certainly has set the tone for the WWE ID program, but right now.
13:12It's Bryce Donovan rolling.
13:14Well, I don't know if you ever heard of a little something called the great.
13:17Jason Waller rub, but the new thing is the Jackson Drake rub, and he's been giving it to everyone
13:22that's in the ring.
13:22But right now he's gonna have to worry about the Bryce Donovan powerbomb.
13:26What a counter there.
13:27By the challenger, and a big forearm smash into the cover to Donovan.
13:32Realized championship goals.
13:35Right on the cusp right there, Rob.
13:37Let's take another.
13:37Look, look at the elevation right here, and driving Jackson Drake right in the canvas.
13:42As Bryce Donovan now trying to climb to his feet, we talked about in.
13:47The pass, Jackson Drake said Bryce Donovan needs motivation.
13:50Looks like he's very motivated right here, Rob.
13:52For championship goals.
13:53Yeah, well, he was trying to help him.
13:54He was trying to be a friend.
13:55He was trying to steer him in the right direction.
13:57And Bryce Donovan took that for granted.
13:59He took advantage of it.
14:00And right now he's taking Jackson Drake by the .
14:02And the champion with a counter right there going right back to that knee.
14:06And the drop kick.
14:07He's going to send Bryce Donovan right back to the floor as Jackson Drake.
14:10Is he going for a second?
14:11Is he going for a second?
14:12He's looking out towards us here, Rob.
14:14Going to build some momentum.
14:15Going for the tope yet again.
14:16Man.
14:17Well scouted here by Bryce Donovan.
14:19That's the hardest part of the ring, Blake.
14:22Minimal padding or protection.
14:23That chokeslam there.
14:24Now he has his eyes set right on swipe right.
14:27He's down to get a run through the entire vanity project right here.
14:30But can he get him back in the ring and get the .
14:32Pinfall as Donovan now.
14:35Some separation created.
14:36Donovan going for it.
14:37Pinfall.
14:38And big risk, no reward right there as Donovan collides with the steel ring.
14:42Spring steps.
14:43Nasty hit.
14:44And Jackson Drake zeroing in now.
14:47That knee.
14:48Looking to take full advantage.
14:49He's chopping down the tree and that is .
14:52not a bad plan.
14:53Looking the pass to Bryce Donovan as the fixer.
14:56.
14:57The vanity project swanton bomb.
14:59Is this going to be it?
15:00Into the cover.
15:01Here we go.
15:02Hooks the outside.
15:02Leg.
15:03Refugee Vicky Dierico drops down.
15:05And it's only two there.
15:06You see the frustration.
15:07on the champion's face.
15:08Blake, that was close.
15:10As these two now setting the pace.
15:12for an epic night here on Tubi.
15:13Still to come, of course, that big bull rope match.
15:15The women's title main event.
15:17Prime Minister Stevie Turner really cooking up something special tonight.
15:20Yeah, well, it is a great card.
15:21I mean, what a way to-
15:22kick things off on succession.
15:23Nothing.
15:24Nothing.
15:25Nothing.
15:26Nothing.
15:27Nothing.
15:28Nothing.
15:29Nothing.
15:30Four.
15:31Oh.
15:32And Donovan.
15:33He's split.
15:34He's split more than the vanity project.
15:36Here, Rob.
15:37in front of his fingers.
15:38And then turns Drake inside out with the clothesline.
15:41Brace Donovan starting to-
15:42Feel it.
15:43Donovan overcoming the odds right here.
15:47He knew that he could do this on his own, Rob.
15:50As you see the big connection turning-
15:52Drake inside out.
15:53And now Brace Donovan, he's staring right at the Evolve Championship.
15:57Well, the people are behind him here in this arena.
16:00They want Brace to put an-
16:02end to the vanity project to Jackson Drake's title reign, but will it happen?
16:06We mentioned Jackson-
16:07Drake's various title defenses.
16:08Of course, the common denominator in all of those.
16:10Bryce Donovan at ringside.
16:12Donovan right now staring right across the ring from Drake, and looking to start to rock
16:15the champion.
16:16Yeah, with Eric-
16:17They're going back and forth with some heavy hands.
16:19Another big guzzle.
16:20Oh, nice counter there by Drake.
16:22He still cannot connect with the guzzle.
16:25Stuns with a big kick right there.
16:27Wait a minute.
16:28And Donovan, from the middle rope.
16:29Let's go.
16:30Big chokeslam.
16:32As Bryce, looking for the cover.
16:34Looking to realize his championship dream.
16:37But rub the momentum of Drake's feet.
16:40Take him all the way over to the bottom rope.
16:42That's disgusting.
16:43You call it momentum.
16:44I call it ring awareness, okay?
16:45Bryce Donovan, the opportunity right-
16:47Let's take another look.
16:48Bryce Donovan.
16:49He thought this would do it.
16:50The big chokeslam off that middle.
16:52No rope.
16:53And now Donovan going back to work.
16:54We've already seen him hit a black hole slam tonight.
16:57Wait a minute.
16:58You see him trying to grab the top rope.
16:59But his fingers, they're basically numb right now.
17:00Oh!
17:01And Drake going-
17:02He's going right back for that injured knee.
17:04And bam!
17:05Unaliving!
17:07He's right on the money.
17:08But one's not enough.
17:09Wait, are we going for a second?
17:10And this-
17:11Wait, are we going for a second?
17:12And this-
17:12Second one right in the jaw.
17:13Unaliving!
17:14And Jackson Drake remains-
17:17Champion.
17:18Here is-
17:22The show winner, and still, the WWE.
17:27EVO champion, Jackson!
17:32And Drake!
17:33Well, Robbie finds another way to retain his-
17:37championship as the reign of Jackson Drake lives on here at Succession.
17:41Well, you saw right-
17:42Right here, Jackson Drake finishing him off with the unaliving number one.
17:46And then here's-
17:47Number two proving that the party is here, and tonight is gonna be a party that's-
17:52It starts for a week long.
17:53The hundo's certainly flying right here without the fixer present.
17:57The wild card is Jackson Drake, as he proves his worth, and the target-
18:02throws even larger on his back as WWE Evolve Champion.
18:07Listen, we here at Evolve, we really appreciate this relationship with AAA.
18:12And we're so excited to have him on our show.
18:14If there's anything you need at all, feel free to reach out.
18:17Hey, gotta go.
18:18A really big special guest just walked in.
18:20Okay, bye.
18:21Sisters-
18:22Stevie, what's cracking?
18:23Big jar.
18:24I'm so excited to have you here.
18:25I'm a big fan of my roommate-
18:27that pays all the bills.
18:28Appreciate it.
18:29And it's so cool to have a 2B crossover with a celebrity like yourself.
18:31Oh, my pleasure.
18:32Little Mama for having me.
18:33I'm a big fan of Evolve and all the wrestlers.
18:35Matter of fact, I just got finished watching-
18:37the title match, fire, off the chain.
18:38It was good, right?
18:39Right.
18:40This whole place got me pumped up to the max.
18:41That's how you are.
18:42Why don't we go watch the rest of Succession?
18:43I wouldn't.
18:44Let's go.
18:45Lead the way.
18:46Big Jaws here for Succession.
18:47And it seems like that's not the only surprise
18:50the MCTV Turner has in store for-
18:52But before that, we have a massive test for Evolve's thrill junkie, Tate Wilde.
18:57As he attempts to use his unpredictable offense against the bad man from Alabama, Bama.
19:02It's Tate Wilder and Brooks Jensen in the first time ever on WWE Evolve.
19:06A-
19:07Bull Rope Match.
19:08That is next on Succession.
19:12My name is John Cena.
19:16I'm a kid who-
19:17I grew up in a small town in West Newberry, and I'm living the dream.
19:22He is.
19:23He is.
19:24He is.
19:25He is.
19:26He is.
19:27Watch out on the stands.
19:32You can't see me, my time's down!
19:37You can't see me, my time's down!
19:42Ever since, bro, we even...
19:47the score against Harley Regans and Jax Presley.
19:49You know, the pot has been super.
19:51Yeah, but I...
19:52I thought the caffeine, it would do a little bit more.
19:55What do you mean?
19:56The adrenaline rush...
19:57You know what I felt?
19:58When we hit the flippin' step and it counted for three,
20:01man, that feeling was...
20:02It was addicting!
20:03We proved that it was our speed over their strength and our...
20:07agility over their...
20:09muscles.
20:10WWE ID way over...
20:12WWE perfect.
20:13Yo, yo, chill, chill, chill, chill.
20:14You're gonna get us in trouble.
20:15See, I was gonna offer you a cup, but...
20:17No, you're not...
20:18Yeah, no.
20:19You're gonna start doing cartwheels here.
20:20But look, look, look, look, look.
20:21We gotta...
20:22We gotta lock in, cause we're just one and one.
20:23You see, they may have these...
20:24Yeah.
20:25But they haven't grinded, like...
20:27We have our whole damn lives with us.
20:30So you know what we gotta do.
20:31Oh, I know what we gotta do.
20:32I think maybe, uh...
20:34One more time!
20:35See?
20:36That's the...
20:37That's the caffeine rush.
20:38That's the caffeine rush.
20:39I see.
20:40Can I get some, though?
20:41No.
20:42Dude.
20:43You're gonna...
20:44Dude.
20:45This Evolve roster has been on...
20:47Fire.
20:48No.
20:49Literally, like...
20:50Speaking of that, like...
20:51What do y'all feel about this succession coming up?
20:52Good night.
20:53Cali, Kendall...
20:54How we feeling?
20:55I don't know.
20:56Cali all day.
20:57Cali all day.
20:57Kendall's been on fire, though.
20:58I mean, Wendy, you've had a lot of matches with her.
21:00How do you feel?
21:01Exactly.
21:02Right.
21:02Um...
21:03Me...
21:04Well...
21:06Well...
21:07Wendy finally...
21:08Oh, wow!
21:09Does...
21:10W-W-W-W...
21:11Wendy finally...
21:12Do you really have something to say?
21:13I'm sorry.
21:14I couldn't hear you.
21:15What was that?
21:16Wha...
21:17That's exactly what I thought.
21:18I'm sorry.
21:19I can hear that.
21:20I can hear that.
21:21Hold on.
21:22A.J. Lee says therapy works.
21:25Wendy.
21:26Aye.
21:27What?
21:28Yo, what is happening around here?
21:30Girl, I literally have no clue.
21:32But you know what?
21:33What?
21:34Let's go see what's up with Big John.
21:35We gotta get casting for this movie.
21:37The movie coming out.
21:38Come on.
21:39What movie?
21:40Y'all ready for a f-
21:42Wild ride.
21:43Well, Wendy Chu, certainly the woman who makes chaos look like a hobby and therapy look
21:47like a full-time job.
21:48Yeah, I'm just excited to see Big John Blake.

22:57Certainly the biggest test of this young man's life.
23:02I've never seen the light of day in a different way.
23:07I've never seen the light of day.
23:12I've never seen the light of day in a different way.
23:17I've never seen the light of day in a different way.
23:47I've never seen the light of day in a different way.
23:52You've got to have it with some energy.
23:57Yes, you are correct.
23:59No one has...
24:00You think of the NXT roster, the above...
24:0290% of them probably don't even know what a bull rope match is, but Brooks Jensen, he...
24:07He lives for it.
24:09He is the right guy for it, and he has been waiting for a match like this.
24:12For a very long time, I hope Tate Wilder is prepared.
24:17Here's how the road...
24:17Now, Kelly, this might sound crazy.
24:22But Succession is next week.
24:25Everyone's looking for a spot on the show.
24:26And I want...
24:27I want to put my name in that hat.
24:28I know I only have one win, but something clicked that...
24:32Something just felt different.
24:34The flame was lit, and I was like...
24:35Brooks Jensen clearly took...
24:40Deception to Tate Wilder's words, responding with a cowardly attack from behind.
24:43Later that night, the self-proclaimed...
24:45Bad man from Alabama laid down the challenge.
24:49A bull rope match to settle the...
24:50And now here we are on Evolve's biggest stage of Succession, for the brand's first ever...
24:55A bull rope match.
24:58You see the power struggle right here out of the gates.
25:00We've seen...
25:00The most popular match types in professional wrestling history.
25:02Notably, JBL Eddie Guerrero for the WWE Championship.
25:05The Great American Bash 2004.
25:07Of course, the famous dog collar match at the first ever Starrcade...
25:10Back in 1983 between two Hall of Famers and Roddy Piper and Greg Valentine.
25:13And of course, this match type over...
25:15After all, the blueprint of a man who was part of putting together the blueprint of NXT.
25:20The Late Great American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
25:22Yeah, we got a bull rope match here, baby.
25:24We getting things...
25:25Someone's certainly going to pay window tonight, as Tate Wilder...
25:30Looking to remain in control here, but Rob...
25:32Oh, Tate looking to go for some lashings early on, and Tate...
25:35He said he really wasn't overall ready, but how was he prepared to handle Brooks Jensen?
25:40I don't know how you prepare for someone like Brooks Jensen.
25:44You're talking about...
25:45A 22 year vet and a 24 year old body.
25:48You're talking about someone with old school...
25:50Grit and new school grind.
25:51Oh!
25:52One animal!
25:53But finds himself...
25:55In a very compromising position right here.
25:57Oh my...
25:58This is not good.
25:59I know you're ready for that vanity project.
26:00In the after party, Brooks Jensen ain't gonna join.
26:02Wow!
26:03As Tate Wilder...
26:05In control right here.
26:06Of course, we talk about him being the modern day cowboy, but no experience in this bull rope.
26:10But what does ultimately give Wilder the confidence to succeed in this?
26:13Because he's all about the extreme.
26:14Cliff...
26:15Jumping, dirt biking, certified skydiver.
26:17But he's never been in an animal like a bull rope.
26:20It's like Jensen's had enough, but Rob, nowhere to go, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide in this one.
26:24You're tied to it.
26:25You're tied to each other, man.
26:26Jensen, you know this match.
26:28As Jensen...
26:30He's got that lower base of gravity here.
26:32Tate Wilder has a couple of feet on him here.
26:33Who's gonna get the best of him?
26:34He's gonna get the best of him.
26:35Elevated inside the ring.
26:36Little power struggle right now.
26:38As Jensen...
26:39Oh!
26:40The momentum sends Tate Wilder right to that middle rope.
26:43The modern day cowboy is down.
26:45How can he get back in this one, in this bull rope match on Succession?
26:50This November...
26:51The last...
26:52The last...
26:53The last...
26:54The last...
26:55The last...

27:22back here on
27:25the evolved succession bullrope action right now brooks jensen trying to seize the moment
27:29right here and
27:30controlled tate wilder all throughout the break yeah it has been all jensen and he is given that
27:35nasty
27:35offense you see him right there just rubbing tate's face mouth against the ropes
27:40job over the last several months how is brooks jensen not only cemented but reinvented himself
27:44on a vault
27:45he came here he wanted to do one thing be looked at as a serious singles competitor
27:50no more tag team guy a serious singles competitor and i think he's done a great job he's a big
27:55opportunity
27:55he's involved he's always talked about in the meeting stevie turner has an eye on him
27:59he's been doing a great job
28:00taking full advantage of this bullrope right here as well as the cowbell again completely
28:05as we documented goes for the home run swing and that'll make your hands numb
28:10that one might be vibrating till next wednesday on tubi
28:12as tate wilder looking to take full advantage right here
28:15well he needs to keep the ball rolling and right now he looks like he's trying to put some
28:20nothing together
28:21tate wilder's grandfather told him to keep knocking on the door until it breaks down but
28:25tate have a limit that's the problem he's listening to anything is grim when my grandfather tells me
28:30something
28:30that goes in one ear and out the other the guy's 60 years older than me
28:33how is he gonna relate how is he gonna help take
28:35anything about professional wrestling you never listen to your grandfather you have to go with your own
28:40tuition you're almost a grandfather you wouldn't want to give me a break are you trying to take a jab at me
28:45as jensen right now he's in the driver's seat right here of course he lost that title opportunity
28:49to kianu karp
28:50but a win here would certainly reestablish jensen in the title pecky yeah i mean it sure would but you know kianu
28:55right now is the number one guy but jensen that's in the back of his head this is a succession this is a big
29:00show everybody's watching going for it all using that rope and cowbell to his advantage
29:05here jensen off that middle turnbuckle hooks the outside leg jenna hug tie tate wilder but only get
29:10two right now of course brooks jensen does have an experienced edge over most of the lot
29:15in the locker room of former nxt uk tag team champion several appearances on premium live events
29:20that does ultimately give him an edge over the majority of this competition absolutely he is used to high
29:25pressure situations succession evolves biggest show everybody's watching he's been there
29:30he's done it before tate wilder has not oh my god look at the rope just like
29:35across his mouth as you see tate trying to grab that cowbell he certainly did his homework trying to be resourceful
29:39utilize
29:40utilize everything around him right now yeah but it's it's a lot further than you think does he have a full grip
29:45of it he's got the cowbell but brooks jensen driving the point of that elbow way to the temple
29:50right up ahead and jensen of course having that old school mindset the training the practices
29:55is ultimately setting brooks apart from the rest yeah he's second generation he's a workhorse
30:00he's an iron man he's unpredictable and he loves this business he loves this match
30:05trade out he's enjoying this pain i promise you i've already seen one champion retain tonight
30:10certainly a big title match in our main event but right now brooks jensen looking to make a serious statement in the
30:15first ever evolved bullrope match and right across the chest rob but look at tate
30:20what's the deal here he's getting hit with a rope he's welcoming the punishment
30:25now how is he getting to his feet right now as a modern day cowboy looking for
30:30the risk and the southpaw starting to connect right between the eyes
30:35tate wilder he's fighting he questioned whether he belonged on evolve he questioned whether he even had
30:40what it does what it takes to be in the wwe and looking to prove it not just to himself but the entire
30:45evolved universe well he's from five generations of cowboys and he's making them all proud right now
30:50because he is in complete control giving brooks jensen a whooping and tate
30:55one more time a big home run swing connects right there now tate
31:00might be looking to turn the corner remember you can only win this one by pinfall or submission tate vertical suplex up and open
31:05over and wilder in the position
31:10and the standing moonsault there's the cover jensen's down and somehow
31:15jensen able to press out right here but while we're getting to the deep borders right now we are somehow
31:20now because that was very very close i don't know if i've ever seen brooks jensen just out of it like this he looks
31:25like he doesn't even know where he is right now and we know as much as tate wilder is trying to prove it to himself that he has what it takes
31:30what it takes to be at the top of the ball a lot rock
31:35we look left at the top of him and the vibe that they see
31:36what it takes to do and the world will be banged
31:38one in two sides to take I need some small
31:48with you
31:50to take you
31:40of course our huge Women's Championship main event.
31:42But right now, Tate Wilder, Brooks Jensen back and forth, here we go.
31:45First ever Evolve bullrope match in front of us.
31:48Man!
31:50Right now,
31:55Brooks Jensen there!
31:56The double palm thrust right to the throat, Rob, that might have created a necessary separation.
32:00But they're still attached by the bullrope.
32:02You gotta capitalize, you can't waste time, you have to keep-
32:05moving, and right now these guys seem like they don't know what their next step is gonna be.
32:08And it's certainly not more cowbell-
32:10For Brooks Jensen, has Tate Wilder taken advantage right now?
32:13Wait a minute.
32:14He's looking out to the Evolve-
32:15Universe.
32:16My God!
32:17And Jensen with a big connection.
32:20Takes Tate out of mid-air, into the cover!
32:23And somehow Wilder-
32:25I mean, you knew these guys were gonna take it to each other.
32:28You knew it was gonna be proof-
32:30Brutal, but I didn't know it was gonna be this brutal.
32:32I mean, that bell, it hurts.
32:34As Jensen now-
32:35Looking to wrap that rope right around his fist.
32:38What's he thinking?
32:39Adding some extra leverage-
32:40Now Tate, Tate looking to seize the moment.
32:44He's got that leverage-
32:45From underneath!
32:46That low base of gravity!
32:47Pulls Jensen off that top rope!
32:50Position!
32:51Powerbomb!
32:52Jensen's down!
32:53Wait a minute!
32:54And Tate!
32:55He's gotta figure out a way to get that rope straight!
32:58We know he likes to take it-
33:00To the extreme, Rob!
33:01No way!
33:02Into position!
33:03Yeah!
33:05And Tate's gonna send us on a wild ride!
33:10Here is your winner, Tate!
33:15Wilder!
33:17Wilder!
33:18Wilder!
33:19Wilder!
33:20Wilder!
33:20ainted cause.
33:21There's no cause of defeat Tate Wilder proves himself here in Succession
33:25You turn around, I've done my time
33:30Rob, let's take another look at the action right here
33:32Yeah, well right here you saw him catch him all guts and grit
33:35over Tate Wilder and then he went up top and took Brooks Jensen on a wild ride
33:40to secure a huge victory for himself
33:44He knew a risk is what it took
33:45to get himself to the next level
33:47he starts knocking on the door just like his grandfather said
33:50scratching
33:50clawing from the jaws of defeat
33:52his back against the wall
33:54having serious doubts about his
33:55evolve in professional wrestling future
