00:00Then, now, forever.
00:30Together.
00:40What's up dummies?
00:41Tonight the culture war here at Evolve is at a breaking point and ready to explode.
00:47Team ID versus Team PC.
00:50A few that has completely engulfed Evolve, bringing chaos to everything it touches.
00:56And the results of tonight's 5 versus 5 gauntlet match will change the landscape here forever.
01:03It's Gaal always preaches no feelings, only facts.
01:07But tonight, I'm bringing the feelings and the facts.
01:12Facts.
01:13Each team has five competitors of their choosing.
01:17Locked in for Team ID, Cappuccino Jones, Mike Cunningham, Aaron Warg, and Marcus Mathers.
01:24However, with Shawn Legacy not medically cleared, Team ID have chosen to keep their wildcard
01:30fifth entrance as a mystery.
01:33What a smart move.
01:34It's Gaal.
01:35Love surprises.
01:36Team PC is represented by Keanu Carver, Brooks Jensen, Harley Riggins, Jax Presley, and Braxton
01:45Cole.
01:46Apparently, they have some tricks up their sleeves.
01:49Fact.
01:50The competitors will face off in gauntlet-style one-on-one matches.
01:55Once an elimination happens, that competitor is gone, whilst the victor stays in the ring,
02:00waiting for the opposing team to send out their next competitor.
02:05The match continues until one team has all five competitors eliminated.
02:11Feelings.
02:12This conflict was started by the Team PC athletes, who were recruited, destined to go straight
02:18to the top of the industry.
02:20These guys feel they're superior to the indie trash from the WWE ID system.
02:27For Team ID, this is a fight for survival.
02:30For the continued opportunity to achieve their dream of becoming a WWE superstar.
02:36Fact.
02:38The winning team will have full control of Evolve for one week, running sharp as they
02:43see fit.
02:44Also, the competitor who scores the final winning fall gets a shot at the WWE Evolve Championship.
02:51Talk about the spoils of war.
02:54Tonight, we find out which culture will dominate the future of Evolve.
02:59Team PC versus Team ID.
03:02Ladies and dummies, welcome to Evolve.
03:08Team PC,
03:21Team PC,
03:23Team PC,
03:25Team PC,
03:29A Grey Storm rising here in Orlando on a night with major implications.
03:35Later tonight, Team PC collides with Team WWE ID in a colossal five on five
03:40gauntlet match, but right now, the Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray,
03:44is here and she's making her presence impossible to ignore.
03:48Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the WWE Evolve Women's Champion,
03:54Kendall Gray.
03:57Kendall Gray, she's been impressive everywhere.
04:00Whether it's here on Evolve, whether it's at Madison Square Garden,
04:03whether it's on NXT Deadline, winning the Iron Survivor Challenge, and
04:07earning an NXT Women's Championship opportunity against JC Jane at New Year's
04:12Evil next year, Kendall Gray's been holding it down for Evolve.
04:17Yeah, walking to the ring with her friend from the Wren QCC, Wren Sinclair.
04:24But how great is she looking 63 days as champion, and you know what?
04:28She hopes for that number to keep growing and growing and growing.
04:31And I think there's a very high possibility for that, because Kendall Gray KG is the real deal.
04:37Every week, more confidence, more swagger from the champ, Kendall Gray.
04:42The last few months of 2025 for Kendall Gray have been crazy, huh?
04:48Yeah.
04:50From winning the WWE Evolve Women's Championship, to joining Wren in the Wren QCC,
04:57to competing here on Evolve and on NXT, and accomplishing so many goals of mine that I've
05:02had so far.
05:03But you see, I love the grind.
05:07I live for the grind.
05:10Because I know the moment I let my guard down is the moment that everything crumbles.
05:15I mean, you've all seen it.
05:17Since I beat Cali Armstrong at Succession, I've thrown myself into the fire.
05:22Defending my championship against Chantel Monroe on Evolve.
05:26Defending it on NXT and at NXT live events.
05:29Because that's the champion that I choose to be, that I love to be, that I want to be.
05:35One that doesn't back down from any action.
05:38And yeah, I know that being a champion comes with pressure.
05:45But pressure makes diamonds, and it made me a champion.
05:49And now with Evolve on my back, and
05:56being the face of the women's division, I welcome all challengers.
06:01And anybody that wants to come step up,
06:03can come taste what it's like to be a champion.
06:05I gotta go, I gotta get there, get out of the way.
06:08Candle, Candle, Candle.
06:12Hey, Candle, you been doing your thing, I'll give you that.
06:20But if I had to choose one woman to carry my torch, and
06:25to continue the momentum of the Evolve Women's Championship that I had,
06:29it would be you.
06:31I see the way you be dragging them chicks into the gray area.
06:42But don't forget, you been eating off the table that I set.
06:48So you basically just been eating off me.
06:50But see, I'm done with all that now.
06:54I'm ready to take back what's mine.
06:56So you and your little Ren QCC friends could get back to making
07:00Instagram and TikTok videos.
07:03And the Difference Maker is ready to take back the number one spot here in Evolve.
07:07So how about you get the people that they've been asking for?
07:10How about you run back the greatest WWE Evolve Championship match in history?
07:17You talking about a savage?
07:20Hello.
07:21Hey, hey, hey, cut the music, cut the music.
07:26Kelly, did I knock a few screws out your head or something?
07:30Are you always this stupid?
07:33You over here begging Kendall for a title rematch when I was the one that left your ass,
07:39laid out on the mat just a few weeks ago.
07:41You talking crazy right now.
07:43You ain't talking nothing right now.
07:46I don't want to forget that too.
07:48But when it comes to this championship, PJ Vassa, don't forget nothing.
07:52Don't believe me?
07:55Ask Kendall Gray, she got her issue too.
07:58So when it comes to me, I'm coming for that.
08:03All right, PJ, we get it.
08:05You're all big and bad.
08:06We understand that.
08:07And Kelly, you're saying that I'm eating off the same table as you.
08:11But girl, that was four months ago.
08:12And this damn sure is an LFG.
08:14This is Evolve.
08:16And I'm the women's champion for a reason.
08:18And I don't back down from anyone that's bigger or stronger than me.
08:24Hell, I'll take both of you guys at the same time, in the same ring, at the same place.
08:28If y'all want to go, let's go.
08:30Let's go.
08:31We can run it any time.
08:35Hello.
08:36How about that?
08:37Could it be?
08:38Kendall Gray is ready for action, whether it's Callie Armstrong or BJ Vassa.
08:43Chantelle Monroe, yeah, I ruined your title shot.
08:52But that's because you were running your filthy little mouth.
08:55And then you have the audacity, the audacity to come into my space, my therapy session.
09:01Is that even legal?
09:03I don't even know.
09:04But girl, we are far from being even.
09:08You think you're the reflection and perfection.
09:11I'm the show stopping diva.
09:12Wendy Chu is nothing.
09:15And I'm gonna admit it, those words did cut me.
09:21But I know that I'm tougher than you.
09:25So tonight, it's going to be no disqualification, anything goes.
09:30And what I did learn about therapy is that I don't have to hold back anymore.
09:35So when I beat you, your reflection is gonna be anything but perfection.
09:40The tension is boiling over here on Evolve.
09:44And Wendy Chu looks laser focused, hungry to finally get her revenge on the reflection of perfection.
09:50Chantelle Monroe in tonight's No DQ Main Event.
09:53But Robert, before we get there.
09:55Before we can even think about tonight's main event, the intensity ignites right here.
10:00Two teams, both fueled by weeks of vengeance, are about to collide.
10:04Team WWE ID and Team PC enter a high stakes gauntlet match where the winning team will control a future episode of Evolve.
10:12And the winning competitor will earn a future Evolve championship opportunity.
10:17The battle begins next on Evolve.
10:21Montreal.
10:23It's Fight Weekend.
10:25I want to make it in the vein of the cause of havoc.
10:28Friday Night SmackDown throws the first punch.
10:31You want it, you got it.
10:32Then, welcome to Saturday Night's Main Event.
10:35Saturday Night's Main Event goes for the knockout.
10:37Unbelievable.
10:38WWE hits back-to-back nights at the Bell Center.
10:42All action.
10:44All weekend.
10:46Tickets on sale now.
10:53Welcome back to a huge, action-packed episode of WWE Evolve.
10:56And don't forget, three weeks from now, Evolve returns Wednesday, January 7th.
11:01Robert, this roster is stacked.
11:03This brand is surging.
11:05I cannot wait to see what 2026 has in store for Evolve.
11:09Mirror, mirror on the wall.
11:12Who's the biggest freak of them all?
11:17Wendy Chu.
11:19I mean, duh.
11:20What kind of stupid question is that?
11:22Oh, and Wendy, I did you a favor cutting your last therapy session short.
11:28I mean, I saved you time, energy.
11:31I saved you money because clearly your little shrink isn't getting through your head.
11:36Costing me my championship match is the dumbest thing you could have ever done.
11:41But it's okay.
11:43Because your little therapist may have been able to save you from yourself.
11:48But she won't be able to save you from me.
11:52Tim, there you are.
11:57Look, I can't help but notice it's been a week now, and you still haven't responded to my challenge.
12:02So let me guess, no phone, no social media?
12:06You didn't hear it, did you?
12:07How about this?
12:08Next time, I'll send it on a carrier pigeon.
12:10Maybe then you'll get my message, huh?
12:12Do you know how long it takes to train a pigeon?
12:16Sir, I did hear what you had to say, and I admire your ambition, and really fantastic.
12:23Let's get this match signed then, shall we?
12:26If you let me finish, I'm not about personal glory.
12:32I return to evolve to help the future superstars and maintain the integrity of the brand.
12:37Integrity of the brand, what are you on about?
12:40Look, me and you know more than anyone that there's always something to prove in that ring.
12:44So don't try to hide behind the fact that you're here for the integrity of the brand,
12:48that you're here for the future.
12:50Guess what?
12:51I am the future, so why don't you do your job by stepping foot in that ring with me,
12:56and allowing me to prove to everybody that I'm the best technical wrestler there is here?
13:02Sir, you need to chill your beans.
13:07We are not competition, we're not traveling the same path.
13:12So I must respectfully decline.
13:17Now, I'm about helping.
13:21So I could use a training partner, mate.
13:25Nah.
13:30To think I used to look up to you.
13:40Timothy Thatcher and Charlie Dempsey, two technical masters coming face to face,
13:44right here, only on WWE Evil.
13:49The following contest is a five on five WWE PC versus ID gauntlet match.
13:58Introducing first, representing Team ID, Aaron Roar.
14:06Wow, we have a lot going on tonight, including coming up later, Stone, the big no DQ match between
14:11Wendy Chu and Chantel Monroe.
14:13Yeah, but I mean, what we just saw between Charlie Dempsey and Timothy Thatcher,
14:16things are getting heated between them.
14:18But how about this?
14:19Aaron Roark, the first guy coming out representing the WWE ID prospect team.
14:25He's flamboyant, he's opulent, he's confident, but I mean, he just drew the hardest card on the deck.
14:32I don't know how they made that decision.
14:34Being number one, how is that gonna set you up to last till the end of this thing?
14:39Because remember, the last man standing at the end of this five on five elimination gauntlet match
14:44gets a shot at the Evolve Championship.
14:47That's right, you score the winning pin, you get a shot at the title, plus your team controls an episode of Evolve.
14:56Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
14:59Oh, come on.
15:03Well, you said it.
15:05That's why you don't wanna be out first.
15:09Coming to the ring, representing Team PC, Keanu Carver.
15:17You just made a point of it, Robert Stone.
15:19We don't know how the ID team decided to start with Aaron Roark, but what a tough spot for Roark to be in.
15:26As you see the beast, the man from Washington DC, Keanu Carver as his first opponent.
15:32Yeah, well, I know how the PC team chose Keanu Carver to go first.
15:35He said, hey guys, I'm going first, because he wants to take out every single WWE ID prospect in this match.
15:42And let me tell you something, there's a high chance that that could happen.
15:46Keanu might be the only guy that we see representing Team PC, okay?
15:52Very well said, and what Keanu Carver says goes, what's your strategy here if you're Aaron Roark?
15:58I don't know if it's that.
16:00It certainly isn't.
16:01Why would you do that?
16:02Why would you want to make Keanu Carver more upset than he already is?
16:06Ever since Keanu Carver didn't get the Evolve Championship, he has just gotten crazier, straight up.
16:11Just to be very blunt about the situation, the dude is a loose cannon.
16:14He's not all there, and he's gonna take it out on these WWE ID prospects.
16:18Well, we've known Keanu Carver has had a problem with these ID prospects for a very long time.
16:23What is Aaron doing?
16:24What is Aaron doing?
16:25He's provoking the beast, man.
16:27When the bell rings, no one can control Keanu.
16:30But I will say this, it seems like it's actually throwing him off his game a little bit.
16:33Yeah, maybe, you know what?
16:34Stone, could that be a smart approach?
16:36Try to play some mental games?
16:38Because you can't out physical Keanu Carver.
16:41Well, you know what?
16:42I don't think it was, because that was just a nasty landing for Rourke.
16:45And now it's about to be all Keanu.
16:47And now we've seen Aaron Rourke, tremendous in tag team action alongside his partner Marcus Mathers.
16:52But this is a different kind of competition.
16:55Look at it, he's just getting ragdolled by Keanu Carver, man.
16:596'2", 290 of unfiltered PC force.
17:03Could you imagine, could you imagine if Team PC wins and they get to run an Evolve show?
17:08And Keanu has something to do with that?
17:10What kind of decisions is Keanu Carver gonna make for a future episode of Evolve on a Wednesday night?
17:16I gotta tell you, he'll make decisions that are not good for the ID prospects as
17:20Carver's gonna try to finish Aaron Rourke.
17:22And Rourke kicks out at two.
17:24Well, there's no doubt about it that Keanu Carver has despised every single
17:29WWE ID prospects since day one.
17:32He feels like they're just getting in his way.
17:34They're taking opportunity away from him.
17:36And he just plain old doesn't like him.
17:38So this right now, he's enjoying this.
17:42You look at Keanu Carver, man.
17:44You look at the strength.
17:46There's not a guy in all of WWE, the biggest, the baddest,
17:50who I think would strike fear into Keanu Carver.
17:54Wait a minute. Oh, he tried for that a second time.
17:56And Aaron Rourke's gonna hook a leg.
17:58Carver looking a little surprised there that Rourke scored any offense altogether.
18:03And I gotta tell you, I'm a little surprised Rourke has lasted this long.
18:06I mean, I'm gonna agree with you.
18:08Keanu right now is shaken up.
18:10And Aaron is trying to mount a little offense.
18:13Oh, but look at that right forearm from Keanu Carver.
18:16And Rourke responds with a couple.
18:18Will they affect the big man?
18:20This is just the first two competitors of teams of five in this turf war on the innovative kicks that we've become acquainted with as the crowd gets behind Aaron Rourke.
18:35Aaron Rourke is an interesting cat.
18:37How about a 619 from Aaron Rourke?
18:40He's got some interesting offense.
18:42We've seen this before if it is what I think it is.
18:45Could it be enough to take down the big man?
18:48It is not.
18:49But a two count on Keanu Carver is very impressive.
18:52That feels like a six count on anyone else.
18:54Wait a minute.
18:56Now Carver.
18:57Wait, Rourke finds a way out.
19:00He's gonna roll up the big man.
19:02Carver kicks out at one.
19:04I think he was close to the ropes there.
19:06Big boot from Carver.
19:07Could that be the moment he needs to turn this thing around?
19:10Well, that was a knockout blow.
19:12Carver's gotta be a little frustrated that it's taken this long.
19:16We've seen him use that before.
19:17One, two, three.
19:20Aaron Rourke has been eliminated.
19:22All right, Stone, so Aaron Rourke down for Team ID.
19:27Who comes in next?
19:28Man.
19:30Next, representing Team ID, Mike Cunningham.
19:36You know, I felt bad for Aaron Rourke, but I feel even worse for Mike Cunningham,
19:40because even though right now Keanu Carver's already wrestled a match,
19:43I still don't think a guy like Mike Cunningham is ready to be in the ring with Carver.
19:49Is this the approach, all the energy at first to try to take down Carver?
19:52I mean, when you see a big man in there, you gotta do what you gotta do.
19:55You just gotta go at him.
19:57I respect it, I just don't know if it's gonna work, and clearly it isn't.
20:01Now, if anyone knows about Hart, it might be this young man who, of course,
20:06trains with the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes.
20:09Yeah, but I don't know if there's anyone in that training facility that throws you
20:13the way Keanu Carver just threw him.
20:15Unbelievable power from Keanu Carver.
20:18I mean, let's be real, he could run through this gauntlet himself.
20:21He might be the only PC competitor that we see.
20:25A guy like Mike Cunningham, he's still learning, and I'll tell you this,
20:29after this match with Keanu Carver, he is gonna learn a lot.
20:33He's gonna learn what never to do again.
20:35Keanu Carver now taking control against young Mike Cunningham, slam.
20:44You know, when you watch Keanu right now, it's like he didn't even just wrestle a match.
20:48I've almost forgotten already.
20:50He doesn't look tired one bit.
20:52And don't forget, Aaron Roark got some offense in there, and Keanu looks no worse
20:55for wear as he continues to slam Cunningham.
20:58Now a pinfall.
21:01Look at the heart from the young guy.
21:05WWE ID prospects trying to hold on to their spots.
21:09The PC talent want them out.
21:11They think the ID guys are taking up their spots and they don't deserve them.
21:16I get it.
21:17You can look at it from both ways.
21:18It is what it is.
21:19But this turf war, it's happening.
21:21It's a real thing.
21:22Now look at the bruises already on Cunningham.
21:25Stone, how bad would it be for Team ID if they get down 2-0?
21:29I mean, that's a bad start to this.
21:32And with Keanu still in the ring waiting for number three, if that were to happen,
21:36that's a bad place to be.
21:38You have to wonder how Cunningham felt when he took a look at things and thought,
21:42man, I'm gonna end up in there with Keanu Carver.
21:45Cuz respectfully to Aaron Roark, that was an unfair matchup.
21:49But Cunningham fighting hard against Keanu Carver.
21:52He sure is.
21:53Wait a minute to the top rope.
21:56We've seen this, the lasso launcher.
21:59Look at that, as Cunningham pins Carver.
22:03Carver finds a way out, but struggles to get Cunningham off of it.
22:08And Christmas is next week, and what a gift it would be for Keanu to just take out
22:12all five of these ID prospects.
22:14That's really all he wants under his tree.
22:16He went up top a second time, and it wasn't smart.
22:21Could we see another one?
22:23Oh, man, Mike Cunningham.
22:26See you at Christmas, buddy.
22:27One, two, three, go!
22:29Mike Cunningham has been eliminated.
22:32So who is the next man up for Team ID to take on Keanu Carver?
22:39Really?
22:40Wait, wait, hold on.
22:41Shawn Legacy is not cleared after that beatdown at the hands of Jackson Drake.
22:47Next, representing Team ID, Shawn Legacy.
22:52Even though he's the number one contender to the Evolve Championship,
22:55he can't be in this match, can he?
22:57Our high-stakes Scotland match continues here on Evolve.
23:22Welcome back to our gauntlet match, Team PC versus Team ID.
23:38And Shawn Legacy has come out for Team ID, but he's not cleared.
23:43Wait, but hold on.
23:45Whoa!
23:46Look, who is that, Stone?
23:47That's Sam Hardway Holloway.
23:49Hardway Holloway.
23:50We haven't seen him in a minute.
23:52He blindsided Keanu Carver.
23:55Now the joke slam, and he's going up top.
23:57Don't forget, this big man could fly.
23:59Watch out!
24:01No way!
24:02Are you kidding me?
24:03Could that do it for Carver?
24:06Keanu Carver has been eliminated.
24:09Wait a minute, you know, was Super Shawn Legacy, is he even injured?
24:14We know he's injured, we know he was not cleared, I'll tell you what he did.
24:18Is he not cleared though?
24:19What he did was something brilliant to cause the distraction.
24:23Coming to the ring for Team ID.
24:24Representing Team PC, Brooks Simpson.
24:28Well, I guess all bets are off in this match.
24:30They'll do anything to distract their opponents, and I kinda like it.
24:33Shawn Legacy not the type for anything underhanded, but there's no respect here.
24:38This is about fighting for Team ID, and now Sam Holloway.
24:43How big an asset is it to have Holloway?
24:45We didn't expect to see him here.
24:46Yeah, I don't think Team PC expected it either.
24:49I guarantee they were not preparing for him.
24:52They were not expecting this.
24:53I can also guarantee Keanu Carver is not gonna forget about that loss.
24:58Now, don't forget the winners of this match.
25:01You're talking about taking over an episode of Evolve.
25:04But whoever scores the winning pin, that's a championship opportunity.
25:08That's what Brooks Jensen and Sam Holloway are thinking about right now.
25:11Of course, that's what everybody wants.
25:13Everybody wants to be champion, but also everybody wants power and control.
25:18And that winning team that gets that power and control, they can do some very beautiful
25:23things with that.
25:24Now, what could you tell the people if you've never seen Hardway Holloway?
25:27What can you tell them about his style as you see the innovation right there?
25:30You said it early on.
25:31Wait a minute.
25:32Pinfall, is that enough?
25:35It's not only strength, it's not only size, but he can fly.
25:39Not many big men can fly through the air like him.
25:42And this guy at one time was 340 pounds.
25:44He's lost 60 pounds.
25:45He's in the best shape of his life.
25:47I gotta tell you, since we started doing Evolve, maybe no one has jumped off the page
25:52to me as more interesting and unique than Hardway Holloway.
25:56So happy to have him back.
25:57And I know that Team ID is happy to have him back.
26:00What a huge advantage.
26:01He neutralizes Keanu Carver.
26:03He could be the difference maker for this team.
26:05He has that unorthodox offense.
26:08And let me tell you something.
26:10Whoa, whoa, whoa.
26:11I remember this.
26:12Jensen back in and there you go.
26:15I think he was thinking about doing a big time dive over the top rope.
26:19We've seen it in the past, but it got caught.
26:22Look at that strength.
26:24Holloway, as you said it, going about 280, 290, and there's a pin.
26:28Could that be enough?
26:30Holloway kicks out.
26:31But let's not forget the size of Brooks Jensen.
26:33He's not a small cat, all right?
26:34He's a big dude.
26:35When they stand next to each other, height-wise, they're about the same.
26:39Well, that's what stands out so much about the size of Holloway.
26:41If you put him next to someone like Jensen, who like you said, he's no small fry.
26:45But Holloway's just so big.
26:47And let's not forget what Brooks Jensen could do inside this ring.
26:51A 22-year vet in a 24-year-old body.
26:53All right, he's a throwback to a time when fist did the talking.
26:57He just wants to fight.
26:58And you know what?
26:59Sam Holloway does, too.
27:00I like these two.
27:01Yeah, absolutely.
27:02This is a fun matchup that you're seeing right here on a Wednesday night on Evolve.
27:06Christmas has come early if you're a wrestling fan.
27:09Jensen and Holloway, and he's seeing the old school style of Jensen.
27:14That's what I enjoy about him the most, the ground and pound, the chops, the big lariats.
27:19He's the bad man from Alabama, bam, bam, bam.
27:22It's only cool when I say it, come on.
27:24I thought we could have something.
27:27Holloway into the corner with power.
27:30Oof.
27:31Man, these guys are laying some heavy hands into each other.
27:34What a huge opportunity for every man in this matchup.
27:39Wow, he just took his head off with that clothesline, Peter.
27:42Jensen, he must not know what the hell's going on if he stood up that quickly.
27:46He's gotta be running, that's unreal.
27:49And now you see it's catching up with him.
27:51That's too much power from Hardway Holloway.
27:56Team PC versus the WWE ID prospects.
28:00It's like Marvel versus DC.
28:03It's just two different worlds colliding.
28:06Jensen now trying to fight to stay alive against Hardway Holloway.
28:11My God.
28:12Shocked us all when Shawn Legacy caused that distraction.
28:15He took out Keanu Carver.
28:17And he's looking to even the score here in this matchup between Team PC and Team ID.
28:23How are these guys still standing?
28:25Watch out.
28:30That could be a problem.
28:32That's that power I was talking about, Stone.
28:34And now Holloway looking to finish Jensen.
28:38And Jensen kicks out.
28:40Man, man.
28:42In a situation like this, do not get frustrated.
28:46How do you think these teams are deciding who goes where in this gauntlet?
28:50You know, I'm kind of thrown off by it.
28:52Did you just see that?
28:53He just kneed him with his knee brace right to Holloway's face.
28:57Yeah, he sure did.
28:59Look at that creative stuff.
29:01Could that be enough?
29:03Jensen, he hit him with the brace.
29:05And he takes out Holloway.
29:06Sam Holloway has been eliminated.
29:09Are you kidding me?
29:11The knee brace is on his knee.
29:12You can use it.
29:13Maybe you didn't think of it earlier.
29:15Well, hold up.
29:18Coming to the ring, representing Team ID, Cappuccino Jones.
29:24One of the most exciting young men in the entire ID program.
29:27He electrifies in our tag team division.
29:30And he's been showing you what he has as a single star as well.
29:32Cappuccino Jones looking to help out his team, Team ID here.
29:38As Jensen misses with the right hand.
29:40I still can't believe Jensen took out Holloway.
29:42Such smart stuff to use that brace.
29:44Wait a minute.
29:45Roll up there from Cappuccino and Jensen kicks out.
29:47Well, I'll tell you this, the PC talent have pushed Cappuccino Jones,
29:51and his cup is filled to the brim.
29:53He ain't taking it no more.
29:55What kind of styles clash is this between Cappuccino Jones and Brooks Jensen?
29:59Well, I mean, Cappuccino's definitely gonna bring the more high-flying style
30:03Brooks Jensen.
30:04We know he's more of a hard hitter.
30:05And Cappuccino's gonna look to pin Jensen.
30:07One, two.
30:08Don't forget, he just went to war with Sam Holloway.
30:10So Cappuccino coming in fresh as a daisy.
30:13Cappuccino Jones is fired up right now.
30:15It doesn't look like he had two shots of expresso.
30:17It looks like he had about five or six.
30:19Yeah.
30:21Cappuccino Jones, you see the commitment to caffeine all over his shorts as he
30:29misses there.
30:30Went for a neck breaker and ends up on his back instead.
30:32And then Jensen misses with an elbow.
30:34Has Cappuccino Jones been one of the most impressive ID talents you've seen so far?
30:39I mean, he's certainly up there right now with his offense on Brooks.
30:43He's doing a heck of a job.
30:44Cappuccino Jones thinking about changing his career.
30:51Cuz as good as it's been for Cappuccino Jones Stone.
30:53Oh, man.
30:54Watch out.
30:55You have to imagine him getting a title shot.
30:57That's a totally different thing than anything he's experienced thus far.
31:01Our gauntlet match continues next on WWE Evolve.
31:25Welcome back ringside to WWE Evolve here on Tubi.
31:42We're getting you ready for Christmas time.
31:44It's Robert Stone, it's Peter Rosenberg.
31:47It's a gauntlet match between Team PC and Team ID with so much on the line, Stone.
31:53It certainly is, and right now it's been all Brooks Jensen.
31:55You gotta remember, Team PC only has one elimination so far.
31:59They still got three guys waiting in the locker room.
32:02The WWE ID prospects only have two left.
32:07And Cappuccino knows that there's a lot of pressure on him.
32:10He absolutely cannot afford to lose this matchup if Team ID has a hope
32:16at winning this gauntlet match.
32:18And remember, whoever wins this gets to control an episode of Evolve, and
32:22whoever scores that winning pin gets a championship opportunity.
32:25You gotta ask yourself though, has Cappuccino Jones ever been in high pressure
32:28situations like this?
32:29His team right now, all of the WWE ID program, they're relying on him.
32:34They're relying on every one of these competitors on this team.
32:38You're absolutely right about that.
32:40And Cappuccino Jones has lit up Evolve since he first showed up on the scene.
32:45He went to use that knee brace again, and it backfired.
32:50No one home, and Cappuccino's certainly lucky to avoid that same knee brace that
32:56took out Sam Holloway.
32:58Not a bad plan, start from the floor, why not?
33:02Okay, yeah, Cappuccino's trying to work that leg, as he should.
33:05But Brooks just all over him, not giving Cappuccino room to breathe.
33:09Wait a minute, he was going for a second time.
33:13Cappuccino connected with the kick.
33:17What's Cappuccino Jones gonna look to do here?
33:20Here we go.
33:21A springboard missile drop kick from Cappuccino Jones.
33:24That was what he needed.
33:25He's been a notable figure since day one in the ID program.
33:29Wait a minute.
33:30Jax Presley and Harley Riggins.
33:34Okay, Tate Wilder's out, what's?
33:39Hey, chill Girl Scout, let me hook him out.
33:41No, no, no, no.
33:43She needs it.
33:44This way.
33:46Wait a minute, Brooks was going to take the chair from Presley.
33:49Wait, Cappuccino rolled him up, where's the ref?
33:52And he got him.
33:53That's enough.
33:54Brooks Chinson has been eliminated.
33:57Well, that play sure backfired.
33:59Wait, Cappuccino scored the pin.
34:02Oh, man.
34:03But now Brooks Jensen going to work on the left leg of Cappuccino Jones.
34:10And that's what I hate to see from Brooks Jensen.
34:13He had a really good performance tonight.
34:15A really great win over Sam Holloway.
34:18Pinfall, I should say.
34:19And now, stuff like that.
34:20Wait, hold on.
34:21Braxton Cole.
34:23Remember, there's three guys still left on the Team PC.
34:27Next, representing Team PC, Braxton Cole.
34:32Right after that leg as he should.
34:34Wow, Braxton Cole showing up on Evolve, getting right to it.
34:38He saw what Jensen did, attacking the left leg of Cappuccino Jones.
34:41And I hate to say it, but it's a smart tactic for Braxton to go right after that same leg.
34:45Now, Braxton Cole's a prime example of a PC talent who felt like his TV talent was being given to WWE ID talent.
34:53So that is why he cheap-shotted Super Shawn Legacy last week, which then, of course, provoked a massive battle.
34:58Well, Braxton Cole, all he has wanted is opportunity.
35:01What a way to put your name on the map.
35:03Imagine showing up and doing that if you're Braxton Cole.
35:06Man, you talk about making an impression.
35:09Now, how does Cappuccino Jones respond?
35:11He's a high flyer, and his leg's been taken out.
35:14Bro, he's gotta figure out a way to adjust his stance, shorten his steps.
35:18Okay, keep the weight off that leg.
35:20But when you got a bad leg like that, you can't explode off that limb the way he normally does.
35:25He's all about high fly maneuvers.
35:27I gotta tell you, I think Cappuccino Jones is in an impossible spot right now.
35:32An absolutely impossible spot for Cappuccino Jones.
35:37One, two, three.
35:38Braxton Cole's gonna try to end it, and Cappuccino kicks out.
35:41Remember, Braxton Cole's a smart guy.
35:43All right, he went to an Ivy League school.
35:45He's got a master's degree.
35:47He knows what he's doing right now.
35:49And he's got that main character energy while he's doing it.
35:52Robert, I'm getting word Chewie Martinez is backstage with some breaking news.
35:56Let's kick it back there and find out what's going on.
35:58Yo, Wendy, we wanna let you know something.
36:01We wanna let you know since there's no ending to this match quite yet,
36:04we're gonna move your no DQ match with Chantel to January the 7th.
36:08I'm so sorry.
36:09Well, it doesn't matter if it's today or in three weeks.
36:13I'm gonna beat her ass.
36:15Wendy's match getting postponed?
36:18Women getting title opportunities they don't deserve?
36:20I mean, what is going on in this place?
36:22All right, well, you heard that big news from Chewie Martinez.
36:33This gauntlet match is gonna take up all our time.
36:35So that huge no DQ match between Wendy 2 and Chantel Monroe will be moved to our
36:40first show of 2026 on January 7th.
36:43Well, what a way to kick off the new year that'll be.
36:46But what a way for Braxton Cole to just stay in complete control of this match,
36:50cuz that's what he's been doing.
36:51Absolutely.
36:52And look, it doesn't matter how new you are, anything can happen.
36:57Wait a minute.
36:58Yeah.
36:59Cappuccino just looking to muster enough strength without that left leg.
37:04Easier said than done.
37:06He's holding it, man.
37:08I'm impressed he's lasted this long, frankly.
37:10And of course, this all started with Brooks Jensen attacking him after being bit.
37:15Well, he's on pure adrenaline right now.
37:17You gotta remember how important this match is.
37:19You don't think in the back of his mind right now he's thinking about getting an
37:22evolved championship opportunity?
37:24But if you're Braxton Cole, don't you have to think about let me end this as quick
37:27as humanly possible, cuz there's someone else coming behind him.
37:30But this is Cappuccino Jones!
37:31Oh!
37:32Decaffeinator!
37:33Could that be enough?
37:34A decaffeinator from Cappuccino Jones!
37:37Braxton Cole has been eliminated!
37:40Wait, wait, Cappuccino Jones scores a second elimination.
37:43He takes out Braxton Cole.
37:45That is impressive stuff from Cappuccino Jones.
37:49Really getting the ID program back in it.
37:52They needed that in the worst way.
37:55And obviously he was dealing with that left leg.
37:57Now, I don't know if he could survive another matchup, but
37:59that is unbelievable stuff from Cappuccino Jones.
38:03Wait, hold on!
38:08Cam Hendrix is here on Evolve Stone!
38:12Yeah!
38:13Next, representing Team PC, Cam Hendrix!
38:22Fresh off of LFG, it's Cam Hendrix!
38:27What a score for Team PC!
38:30See, that wasn't even anywhere in my mind.
38:32Well, let me tell you something.
38:33The people here are excited to see him.
38:35How great is this?
38:36What a treat.
38:37You never know who's gonna show up on Evolve.
38:41And Cappuccino Jones certainly didn't know that he was gonna be dealing with
38:45young Cam Hendrix here tonight.
38:47Cappuccino Jones, Cam Hendrix, coming up next right here on Evolve.
38:53I don't buy any of this.
39:07They're fake smiles.
39:10Tired outfits.
39:13What a work.
39:15Tell me what time it is!
39:17Tiffy time!
39:20I'm the reason the room goes silent.
39:23And soon, I will be again.
39:29WrestleMania Vegas, it's anyone's game.
39:43Welcome back to what has become our main event,
39:46this big gauntlet match between Team PC and Team ID.
39:51And we are now seeing the Evolve debut of Cam Hendrix.
39:55You may know him from LFG.
39:57And he's going to work on Cappuccino Jones, who's representing Team ID.
40:02Check out who's in VIP!
40:05The Evolve champ taking a closer look with swipe right.
40:09Well, I guess these guys have to be supporting Team ID, right?
40:14I mean, I think they're just checking out the show.
40:16They're kind of their own entity.
40:17They're the vanity project.
40:19I gotta tell you, I am impressed.
40:21I am impressed with the size and physicality of Cam Hendrix.
40:25Stone, tell us a little bit about this guy.
40:28I know you have to enjoy that sheer obnoxiousness that seems built in.
40:32Look, he's overconfident, okay?
40:34He's conceited.
40:35He's swaggering.
40:36He's self-important.
40:37But guess what?
40:38He backs it up.
40:39And sure, maybe he at times gets a little ahead of himself, but he's already great.
40:44Think of what this guy is going to be in a few years, okay?
40:48And you talked about LFG.
40:50He learned season one from Booker T, season two from Michelle McCool.
40:53Think of the knowledge he has.
40:55Very well said.
40:56You talk about Booker T and Michelle McCool, unbelievable.
40:59A wealth of knowledge that he was able to learn.
41:02Yeah, Cappuccino was just able to get out of the way of that turnbuckle and grab a jumping neckbreaker.
41:08Pitfall for Cappuccino.
41:10Can you believe that Cappuccino Jones has lasted this long?
41:14He is doing a great job.
41:15I'm not gonna take that away from him for sure.
41:17He is still a fighter.
41:19Cam Hendrix going back to work on that left leg.
41:25Look at the flash.
41:27Look at the sizzle.
41:29And now you can see what people saw from Cam Hendrix and LFG.
41:34Is that enough?
41:35Lights camera action.
41:37Well, a hell of a run from Cappuccino Jones.
41:41Cappuccino Jones has been eliminated.
41:44And you see the disrespect.
41:46This means whoever comes out next is the last ID participant.
41:50It's the last guy.
41:51This is the only guy they got left.
41:53Coming to the ring, the final member of Team ID.
41:58Marcus Meathers.
42:01This right now is sudden death for the WWE ID prospects side.
42:05All right, this is the fifth guy.
42:06And for the PC, they still have somebody left.
42:09It might be Jax Presley, maybe it's Harley Riggins, whoever it is.
42:13They still got a backup after this.
42:14Exactly right.
42:15They got padding.
42:16No, it's an incredible opportunity.
42:18Cam Hendrix in his Evolve debut has a chance for two things.
42:21Wait a minute.
42:22One, to secure a win for Team PC.
42:25Two, to secure himself a championship opportunity.
42:28All he has to do is score a win here against the very crafty Marcus Mathers who flies.
42:34He just scored something, he just took him right off his feet.
42:39Hendrix is seeing stars right now.
42:41Marcus Mathers showing why he's one of the most innovative superstars in the ID program.
42:46I don't know how smart that is.
42:50Man, Cam Hendrix, that is a lot of man.
42:53I'll tell you what, look at this, look at that power.
42:56Man, I'm impressed early on.
42:59Will that be enough?
43:01Mathers kicking out at two.
43:03What's your approach if you're Marcus Mathers,
43:05knowing the pressure that's on you to represent for the team here?
43:08Well, my approach at this point is just to get off the mat.
43:11Find a way to get off the mat.
43:12Right now you are in with Cam Hendrix in his Evolve debut.
43:16He wants to show out.
43:17He's a former linebacker at San Diego State, all right?
43:20This is a big, powerful dude.
43:23So double M Marcus Mathers, he needs to figure, I don't know if fighting him like this is the smartest thing to do.
43:28It is sudden death for the ID program right now.
43:33Look at that punch to the back, Marcus Mathers now in a bad way.
43:38Of course, here on Evolve, we see Marcus Mathers tag quite a bit with his partner Aaron Roark.
43:43Did you see that?
43:44And he's always been impressed, I sure did.
43:46Did you see the quickness?
43:47Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee, Peter.
43:50Man, Cam Hendrix, a thoroughly impressive athlete, has always wanted to do this.
43:57But right now he is in the ring with someone who I promise you.
44:06Wait, wait, he's going for lights, camera action again.
44:08It's reversed by Mathers.
44:10Could that be the opening he needs?
44:12Could it be enough?
44:13Two.
44:14Wow.
44:15Cam kicks out.
44:16That was close, but you gotta think, even if Mathers were to get that pin,
44:20he still has someone else coming out from Team PC.
44:23There is still someone left in that locker room.
44:25Absolutely.
44:26Whereas it's sudden death for Marcus Mathers.
44:29Uh-oh, look at the athleticism.
44:31Hendrix goes up top.
44:33My God.
44:34Mathers all the way down.
44:36Unbelievable.
44:39Robert, the great Chewy Martinez is still working hard backstage.
44:44Let's hear what Chewy's got.
44:46Chewy, what do you mean we ran out of time?
44:51No, poor thing seems so upset.
44:56It's terrible.
44:57Looks terrible.
44:58Did she watch Mason and Layla's TikTok?
45:00No, her match was postponed.
45:03Well, the TikTok is much worse.
45:07Well, Chantel Monroe understandably upset.
45:14I'll say that, Stone.
45:15But she will get her shot at Wendy Chu on January 7th.
45:20Back to the action of this gauntlet match.
45:23Marcus Mathers, sudden death.
45:25If he loses, Team ID is done.
45:28And Team PC will control an episode of Evolve.
45:31And by the way, the kid, Cam Hendricks.
45:34Stone, he'll get a championship opportunity.
45:37Could you imagine?
45:38That'll be a first.
45:39And you know what?
45:40It kinda fits with Cam.
45:49From LFG, however, to sharing the ring with Marcus Mathers.
45:52That's a big step right there.
45:53As you can see, Marcus Mathers just a touch too quick for Hendricks here.
45:57Into one corner and now a boot while in the other.
46:00Look at that.
46:04Okay, Marcus Mathers, finding a way.
46:09You see the A right there on Cam's trunks means always lit.
46:13But right now, he looks like he's about to get lit.
46:16There's a pinfall.
46:17Could it be?
46:18Hendricks gets out at two.
46:20So much on the line in this match.
46:26These guys right now, if they've ever had anything anywhere in their body to put out,
46:31to force, they are going to do it right now.
46:33This is the kind of match where you lay it all on the line.
46:36This is the kind of match that can change your life.
46:39It could change the course of all of Evolve, Peter.
46:42And Marcus Mathers looking to stave off Cam Hendricks and see if he can bring Team ID all the way back.
46:52Cam already took out Cappuccino Jones.
46:57He wants to do the same thing to Marcus Mathers to end this match.
47:01But Marcus is saying no.
47:03Marcus is still fighting.
47:05No one home but Mathers.
47:07Watch out.
47:08And there is more of that unbelievable athleticism.
47:11This could be it.
47:12Hendricks looking to win it.
47:14He was that close to earning a championship opportunity in his debut match on Evolve.
47:22All right, here we go.
47:23We're going for it again.
47:24Come on.
