00:07Then, now, forever, together.
00:32An explosive night on WWE Evolve and
00:35Carmen Petrovich has got something to prove.
00:382026, 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.
01:00You 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.
01:11Yeah!
01:35Ladies and gentlemen, it is Wednesday night.
01:39We 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. We 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
02:03something to say.
02:21Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Wendy Chu.
02:28And 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 haven't. Peter, two weeks ago she made it clear after she won her No Disqualification match
02:44that 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 line you up.
02:57I like not being scared of her in the same way.
02:59Here, y'all. New year, new me.
03:04Do I deserve it or wish?
03:09But in all seriousness, I have three New Year's resolutions this year.
03:14And that's to be unbothered, unfiltered, and unapologetic.
03:23And 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.
03:34So, I'm calling out the woman who opened up Pandora's box, and the person you can blame
03:40for having me never shut up again, Kendall Gray.
03:44Okay.
03:46Calling out the champ.
03:48And she's responding.
04:03No, 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?
04:09Chewie, why 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...
04:20Are 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!
04:32What?
04:33Okay.
04:34Is this happening right now, Peter?
04:35I mean, our main event is Carmen Petrovich and Callie Armstrong,
04:38but I guess we have the women's champ,
04:41one of the hottest stars in all of professional wrestling,
04:44defending 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.
04:57How cool is that?
04:58Well, let me ask you a question, though.
04:59To Chewy's point, how unwise is it for Kendall,
05:03who just defended in a triple threat last week against Callie and PJ Vasa?
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,
05:26Wendy Chu!
05:35And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada,
05:38she is the WWE Evolve Women's Champion,
05:43Kendall Gray!
05:49Well, Peter, you asked me a question.
05:51You said, how smart is it for Kendall Gray to be doing this?
05:53After last week, she just defended her Evolve Women's Championship
05:56in 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.
06:27Oh, 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
06:43of WWE Evolve a year ago, as Wendy just mentioned.
06:46But you have to admit,
06:47Kendall Gray, not just because of the title,
06:49she's a completely different superstar now than she was a year ago.
06:51Yeah, absolutely.
06:53I 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
07:07by taking that Evolve Women's Championship off of her.
07:11Now, we know Wendy's a stalwart.
07:13She has done it in the business for a very long time.
07:15But 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.
07:25This is what everybody is talking about when they see Kendall on NXT,
07:29when 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.
07:42Oh!
07:43Wendy Chu pulling out all the stops to become Evolve Women's Champion.
07:47The sneaky athleticism of Wendy Chu.
07:51Our title match continues next.
07:55Montreal.
07:56It's fight weekend.
07:58I'm automatically innovative because I have it.
08:01Friday night SmackDown throws the first punch.
08:04You won it.
08:05You got it.
08:05Then.
08:06The Saturday night's main event.
08:08Saturday night's main event goes for the knockout.
08:11Unbelievable.
08:11WWE hits back-to-back nights at the Bell Center.
08:16All action.
08:18All weekend.
08:20Tickets on sale now.
08:27Welcome back to WWE Evolve on Tubi.
08:31Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone ringside.
08:32What a treat.
08:33Look at this.
08:34Oh, watch out.
08:35That is Wendy Chu, the challenger, going after our champion, Kendall Gray.
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
08:47spread her thin and weaken her in a match against Wendy Chu?
08:51Absolutely.
08:51The busy you are.
08:52Wait a minute.
08:53Watch out.
08:53Another roll up there.
08:54And a kick out at two.
08:56Oh, they're going back and forth.
08:56Turn it to another pin for Wendy.
08:58And Kendall kicks out.
08:59The more your body's going through, Peter, the more that you might not be ready for a match
09:02like 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.
09:12This has been nonstop.
09:14Kicks at the same time.
09:15They know each other so well.
09:16You said it earlier.
09:17Punches at the same time.
09:18This is awesome.
09:19On the double close line.
09:20And the thing is, Rob, it's not just about the physical toll.
09:24But 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
09:31her, she 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.
09:40Well, she's been the it girl with a target on her back.
09:42But 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.
09:51You see big right hands from both.
09:54Oh, for the chop from Wendy Chiu.
09:58And now Kendall doing what she does best.
10:00But Wendy's still fighting back.
10:03I got to tell you, therapy has done something for Wendy Chiu.
10:06German suplex.
10:08She is a different person.
10:10And you see it not just in how she talks, Rob.
10:12What Wendy Chiu does in the ring.
10:14As 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.
10:24Who wanted this challenge as you see two boots down to Wendy Chiu.
10:28And a pitfall for the champ.
10:29And a kick out at two.
10:31Oh man, we've seen her do that double stop so many times.
10:34And I love watching it almost put Wendy Chiu away.
10:39The athleticism of Kendall Gray really impresses me time after time.
10:44For a youngster she knows so much in the ring.
10:47But Wendy Chiu with tricks up her sleeve.
10:49Rob, 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.
10:59Watch out.
10:59Kendall could be in a bad spot right here.
11:01Wendy sees an 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.
11:40Oof.
11:41Kendall Gray wise and creative to get out of that there.
11:45But she's got that armbar.
11:47Wait, wait, it 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.
12:02Two.
12:03And Kendall kicks out.
12:06Oh, man.
12:08Caught her with that right to the chin.
12:10Can she capitalize?
12:12It looks like she needed to weaken Wendy Chiu a bit more in order to lock in that armbar,
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.
12:26In 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.
12:41Another run.
12:41Brain buster.
12:43The 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.
12:58That 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.
13:08But right now, the champ Kendall Gray defending against Wendy Chiu.
13:12And Wendy looking to lock in the dirt now.
13:15Oh, full Nelson.
13:16She's going full Nelson slam.
13:17She was.
13:19Oh, nasty.
13:22Big chop to the champ.
13:24Looking for another neck breaker.
13:25Reversed.
13:26Shades of Grey.
13:28That could be it.
13:29One, two, three.
13:30Kendall Gray retains.
13:32One, two, three.
13:33Here 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.
13:59Well, 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
14:13to retain the championship.
14:15Very, very impressive win for Kendall Gray.
14:19The champ continues to impress.
14:23Kendall Gray reigns supreme here on Evolve.
14:30Hey, Kendall.
14:32Keep doing your thing as champ.
14:34Because I know her paths are going to cross again.
14:35But tonight, I'm focused on Carmen Petrovich.
14:39So, Carmen, you keep asking how I'm getting all these opportunities.
14:43But 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.
14:58And 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.
15:31How 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.
15:51I 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 meet Cham soon?
16:07Oh.
16:10Oh.
16:11Oh, my.
16:14Oh.
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 Tent of Swords.
16:43Suffering.
16:45Pain.
16:47I can't hit.
16:53The Tower.
16:55Like the Sunset Tower?
16:57Oh.
16:59Destruction.
17:10You must change your ways.
17:12No problem.
17:13Because we'll change our ways.
17:15You must change your ways.
17:17All right, all right.
17:17You must change your ways.
17:19You must change your ways.
17:55A special congratulations to the newest members of the NXT roster.
17:59Eli Knight.
18:01Keanu Carver.
18:02The Vanity Projects.
18:03Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.
18:05The WWE Evolve champion.
18:07Jackson Drake.
18:08And rounding out the group.
18:09None 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 Evolve.
18:19So, catch these fast rising stars every Tuesday on NXT.
18:23And every Wednesday right here on 2B on WWE Evolve.
18:28Congrats, guys.
18:31And the following contest is scheduled for one fall.
18:35Introducing first from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
18:39Wigging at 180 pounds.
18:41Marcus Mathers.
18:43All right, who is ready for some PC versus ID talent here on Evolve?
18:50Well, Peter, there you see the WWE ID prospects all watching in the locker room cheering the finest Marcus Mathers
18:59on 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
19:12run roughshod and run this show, Evolve.
19:16Marcus Mathers, very impressive whenever we see him, often in tag action and, of course, as a singles competitor as
19:23well.
19:32And his opponent from Goxdale, New Hampshire.
19:41And there you see Peter in the PC locker room just like the ID prospects were supporting Marcus Mathers.
19:52There's all 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.
20:13Let's not forget Ivy League.
20:14He got a master's degree.
20:15The dude only eats red meat and fruit.
20:17You got to respect him for that.
20:19Why 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.
20:33Peter, next week it goes down.
20:36The PC talent are running the show.
20:38In two weeks, Cam Hendricks gets his title shot against Jackson Drake for the Evolve Championship.
20:43A 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 from a momentum standpoint.
20:52I think, Rob, is it fair to say, as you see a strike early on from Mathers, is it fair
20:56to say this might be more important for the ID talent who knows they have the deck stacked
21:00against them next week?
21:01Of course, going into next week, they want to win.
21:03And right now, Marcus Mathers is trying to do that.
21:05Dunkin' and Dodgen, 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 it would just bring that ID locker room that
21:15we just saw if Marcus Mathers can get a win here tonight.
21:22There's some of that athleticism for Braxton Cole.
21:25What do you think, Rob, we could expect from the PC talent running the show next week here
21:29on Evolve?
21:30Honestly, it's just like I say about Evolve all the time.
21:33It's expect the unexpected.
21:34Who knows what these guys have up their sleeves?
21:36But what I know right now is Braxton Cole is putting elbows, is putting hands to Marcus
21:41Mathers.
21:42That's right.
21:42Braxton Cole certainly in control right here early on and taking it to the ground on Marcus
21:47Mathers, who certainly would prefer for 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.
21:57Braxton Cole's a guy who has been waiting for opportunities in matches like this.
22:02A lot of strength behind everything.
22:04Braxton Cole does.
22:05Goes for the pin and a kick out 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, they're not allowed at ringside for
22:18this match.
22:19Absolutely not trying to keep things in order before we get to next week where the PC will
22:23have complete control.
22:24They have already announced a three-on-one handicap match where Riggins, Preston,
22:27and Keanu take on Jackson Drake.
22:29And then Cam Hendricks with a title shot against Jackson Drake the following week.
22:36And how impressive again, I got to say.
22:38This has been all Braxton.
22:39Oh!
22:40Still working on Mathers' neck.
22:43I got to tell you, I've been impressed by Cam Hendricks.
22:45As obnoxious as he is.
22:48Oh!
22:48Another neck breaker.
22:49Just really honing in.
22:50You got to love it.
22:51And a pin for Braxton Cole.
22:53And Marcus Mathers kicks out.
22:55Got to see Cam Hendricks in the ring with iShow Speed.
22:58Not something I expected to see.
23:01And of course, he handled business against the internet god.
23:05iShow Speed as well.
23:06As you see Braxton Cole looking to go back to work on Marcus Mathers.
23:10Yeah, really focusing on that neck area.
23:14Very smart.
23:15Take a body part off Mathers.
23:17And he definitely loses feeling.
23:19That could go all the way down his whole body.
23:22What does that feel like, Stone?
23:24Do 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 of 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 into the wall of Evolve.
23:46But of course, that's the big difference with PC and ID Talent.
23:50These are all very young, talented people.
23:52But it's about how they go about learning professional wrestling.
23:56Well, it seems like Braxton's learning a lot.
23:59Although Marcus learned that he was going for another neck breaker
24:02and held on to the ropes.
24:03Can he mount something here?
24:05Oh, and I got to say, I can't be so sure
24:07that everyone in the PC is 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.
24:26And you see the strikes from Mathers
24:29who wanted to get this match up in 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, manages to get it done.
24:46He's taking it to Braxton Cole.
24:48Wait a minute.
24:48That's a big snap!
24:50Watch out!
24:51And a pin as well!
24:53Braxton Cole kicking out at two.
24:56And as I mentioned, Mathers still favoring the neck.
25:00Cole had really cinched in on him there for a couple of minutes.
25:03And you see it has taken a toll on Mathers.
25:07But he's sore.
25:09He's tired all the time, Peter.
25:11He's wrestling a few times a week, but he loves every second of it.
25:15He is 24-7 with this.
25:16He's been in this situation before.
25:21You see the big strike there from Marcus Mathers.
25:24Looking 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 Rourke.
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 of Braxton Cole,
26:03using that elbow effectively.
26:08He 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.
26:24And there's the insiguri.
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.
26:58And now the roll-up from Braxton Cole.
27:01Two, three.
27:02That'll do it.
27:05Here 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 pretty good shot.
27:19Oh, Cam Hendricks taking out the leg of Marcus Mathers.
27:26And now Braxton Cole looking to go to work on Marcus Mathers.
27:32Wow.
27:33Oh, there 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.
27:44Hey, where you at ID?
27:46No 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!
27:53Come on!
27:53Cam Hendricks from the second rope stomping on that chair
27:57and crushing the ankle of Marcus Mathers.
28:01How do you like that?
28:05Clearly sending a message to the ID talent.
28:11Well, Peter, you see here the PC talent, of course,
28:14celebrating in their locker room.
28:16They love that Marcus Mathers' career could be ended from this situation.
28:22Absolutely disgusting.
28:24That's great.
28:25That's what we hope.
28:26That's all.
28:26We run the show.
28:28That's how we run the show.
28:29We run the school.
28:30Hey, hey, hey, ho.
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.
28:40Stone cold.
28:40That's true.
28:42Let's lie.
28:43All good.
28:44Now look, everyone knows we got control.
28:47Who is we?
28:50We got control of next week's episode of a ball, right?
28:54Damn right we do.
28:55Damn right.
28:55That's right.
28:56And I know we're looking for a few people to inflict some pain on those IED clowns.
29:01Keep talking.
29:02Right.
29:02Right.
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,
29:16not only will I win the match, but I'll knock his freaking head off his freaking shoulder.
29:21All right.
29:21All right.
29:22All right, baby.
29:22Yeah.
29:22What do you think about it, Keanu?
29:24Please tell me what you think about it.
29:28Okay, Brooks.
29:29I can rock with that, Brody.
29:30Hell yeah.
29:31Yeah, I think we can make that happen.
29:33It's no secret.
29:34And more.
29:35That's right, playboy.
29:36We got some things cooking for you.
29:38Sounds good.
29:39This guy, I don't know.
29:41What the energy?
29:42He got to lose some.
29:45Team PC, Team ID, tensions at an all-time high,
29:49and Carmen Petrovich has got something to prove.
29:51Tonight, she steps into the ring with the Omega of the women's division,
29:55Callie Armstrong, with major title implications at stake.
29:59The wait is over next on EVOL.
30:04This is Lucha Libre Triple-A.
30:07Go!
30:09Real flight.
30:12Real energy.
30:15Real impact.
30:18This isn't just a show.
30:20It's tradition.
30:22It's Lucha Libre Triple-A.
30:24King of the Lucha Lord.
30:26Real excitement right in front of you.
30:29Experience it live.
30:31Tickets on sale now.
30:40Yeah?
30:40Hi, Triple H.
30:41Mania Pitches just came in.
30:42Top of your inbox.
30:43I will take a look now.
30:48This should be interesting.
30:51Hey, Paul.
30:52Peyton Manning.
30:53Hey, Paul.
30:54What's going on, man?
30:55John Berto 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.
31:04You 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.
31:16Imagine 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 hair.
31:36Can you just tell him my email's down?
31:38Triple H!
31:38You little sissy.
31:40Let me know when I can come wrestle.
31:42I like to talk.
31:45Is that even legal?
31:46Are we on a video here?
31:47What's happening here?
31:48What's going on?
31:48We're challenging Triple H at WrestleMania.
31:50Oh, you got his offer?
31:52I am your man.
31:53I stand by.
31:54Put me in, Paul.
31:55Let me shock the world.
31:55Let's try it out.
31:56Woo!
31:57He's back in Vegas.
32:02This is going to be a long road to WrestleMania.
32:28Do 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.
32:38But 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 can tear each other to shreds.
32:52They can 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.
33:09In the midst of the WWE ID and PC drama, Harlem Lewis stands with an absolute confidence focused
33:15on 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.
34:09As you see Carmen, who has made her intentions clear,
34:14she knows how important a win against the former champ would be, Rob.
34:20She sure does.
34:21You 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.
34:43Both 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 her ring announcements.
34:52The following contest scheduled for one fall is your Evolve main event.
35:01Introducing first, from Inglewood, California,
35:06Callie Armstrong.
35:14And her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada,
35:19Carmen Petrovich.
35:37Here we go, Stone.
35:40Callie Armstrong and Carmen Petrovich,
35:42two of the best natural athletes here in WWE Evolve.
35:46And look at Callie Armstrong starting this off overconfident,
35:50showing 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.
36:04Callie Armstrong was such a great champion,
36:08and I just have to imagine if I was Callie Armstrong,
36:10and I had been the face of the women's division early on.
36:14I 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.
36:25And Carmen Petrovich 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 Petrovich, she hasn't won every match she's been in Evolve,
36:35but she has not been pinned or submitted.
36:37As you see, Tyra Mae Steele in the VIP lounge.
36:41I'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.
37:00Absolutely huge to get the Olympian,
37:03the gold medalist, Tyra Mae Steele,
37:06here on Evolve, as you see Callie Armstrong going to work on the midsection of Carmen Petrovich.
37:10Well, as you can see right now, both of these two are going at it,
37:13and Carmen is more of a striker.
37:15Great reversal into a pin.
37:18Callie is going to have to use her power
37:19because Carmen has that unorthodox offense,
37:22something 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
37:30and didn't do her homework, and she's taken Carmen too lightly.
37:32It'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,
37:41uses 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.
37:50Carmen right now with the arm locked in,
37:53feeling 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.
38:04Oh, man.
38:06Need of the gut from Callie Armstrong,
38:08and there's that power, but 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.
38:58Saturday night's main event in Montreal, Saturday.
39:09They say in Vegas,
39:14everyone's got to tell.
39:18A blink.
39:21A breath.
39:23A moment that can't be controlled.
39:26But the great ones,
39:29they use it to their advantage.
39:32They own it.
39:34They've got them right
39:36where they want them.
39:46The rest
39:48just haven't figured it out yet.
39:56WrestleMania Vegas.
39:58I'll have you to look at it.
40:01It's anyone's game.
40:07Peter, 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.
40:19And during the break,
40:21and 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,
40:26the 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 about that
40:42to 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 off.
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, once she gets going.
41:14In the feet!
41:16Once Carmen gets going,
41:18oh, momentum 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, the use of those feets, though.
41:26Ninja-like rapid fire
41:28kicks, she can catch it
41:29with out 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, what a main event.
41:42What a match.
41:43What a night it's been.
41:44We saw Kendall Gray
41:45defend the Evolve Women's Championship
41:47to start things off
41:48against Wendy Chiu.
41:50And now here we are
41:52at our main event.
41:53The women's division
41:55thriving on Evolve.
41:56Carmen Petrovic and Callie
41:58Armstrong
41:59looking to get
42:00their 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, I'll cut her all!
42:11And 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 Kelly connection!
42:28She sidestepped it!
42:29And then the kick!
42:31Punch her fire!
42:33Wait a minute!
42:34She's second
42:35punch her fire!
42:36Is this happening?
42:37Is Carmen Petrovic
42:39gonna finish?
42:40Callie Armstrong!
42:44Here is your winner,
42:48Carmen Petrovic!
42:50What an immense win
42:52for Carmen Petrovic
42:55in our main event.
42:56As you see,
42:58Tyra Mae Steele,
42:58who's officially here
42:59with us permanently
43:00on Evolve,
43:01looking on
43:03Carmen Petrovic Stone.
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.
43:09Therefore, it was the biggest
43:10win of her career.
43:13All right, let's take a look
43:13back at what happened, Stone.
43:15Some of the action
43:16in this matchup.
43:17Carmen Petrovic showed
43:18her 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.
43:37That was my biggest win
43:39in Evolve
43:40up 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
43:50Women's Evolve championship.
43:54So, Kendall Gray,
43:56I got next.
43:58Woo!
44:00Wow, quite a statement.
44:03And here comes the champ!
