FunTranscript
00:14Then, now, forever.
00:32Together.
01:00Now, we all know opportunities like this.
01:00Nikita Lyons, who's been fighting for the spotlight.
01:04Callie Armstrong, who's one of the hardest hitters Evolve has ever seen.
01:09And fresh faces like Tyra Mae Steele, PJ Vassa, and a new WWE prospect know that a win tonight can
01:21change the entire trajectory of their career.
01:24Now, we all know opportunities like this don't come around often, but for Karim Petrovich, this is where I thrive.
01:30Because after all, they don't call me the gold-blooded for nothing.
01:42I'm a G-Light holly, I'm in the holly while I'm in college.
01:45And I'm in my body, as I sit quicker than whipping a rally.
01:48I live on my red light carry, where are my Batman carrying on?
01:51Ain't nobody eating, nobody's full, no.
01:53Kidakiji, I'm a blow.
02:07We welcome you in here to Evolve, Blake Howard, Peter Rosenberg.
02:11It's Tax Day WrestleMania this weekend, but Peter, we've got a huge gauntlet eliminator.
02:16We're creating a brand new Evolve Women's Champion here tonight.
02:19Absolutely right, and I cannot wait.
02:22Please welcome the WWE Evolve Champion, Aaron Rourke.
02:31I know you're excited because obviously Karim Petrovich now revealed as the final entrant,
02:35the eighth competitor in tonight's gauntlet.
02:37Absolutely cannot wait for that matchup.
02:39It's totally different now that we know Karim Petrovich is in that match as well.
02:43We know P.J. Vassa is the last entrant.
02:45It's gonna be a huge night, but now we start off with a new champ.
02:49Hello, everyone.
02:52It's so good to see all of you.
02:57You know, when I started at my wrestling school, Creative Pro Wrestling Academy,
03:03all I ever heard was that it takes effort to get to the top, but it takes consistency to stay
03:11there.
03:12Girl, you knew.
03:13You knew.
03:14You knew.
03:15And honestly, I thought I understood what that meant, but now I really understand that phrase.
03:22Now that I've had my hand raised after beating Chaz Starboy Hall.
03:31Listen, Chaz, he is an amazing competitor, and I have no doubt he will be back challenging for this and
03:38this ring again.
03:44I just did.
03:47You know, this belt is heavy, a little in weight, but a lot in responsibility.
03:53Because in order to be Evolve champion, you have to be consistent.
03:59You have to consistently show that you are the best in this ring so that when someone turns on Evolve
04:05and they see a competitor, a champion like me defending this night after night, they can be proud.
04:14They can text their friend and say, hey, are you watching Evolve right now?
04:18There's some of the best wrestling happening in the world there.
04:24And their champion, Aaron Rourke, busts his ass every single time he's in this ring.
04:36So, um, I just have like a real problem with a certain guy walking around saying that I'm ducking him.
04:51Harlem Lewis.
04:53I know, I'm sorry.
04:55You may be big and you may be tough,
04:59but why don't you come walk out here and say to my face why I'm ducking you, huh?
05:05Strong words from the champ.
05:07Whoa, whoa, whoa, the champ is fired up tonight.
05:10I like it.
05:11I like it.
05:15Aaron, I could get in that ring and I could break you right now.
05:24But I'm not gonna do that, because that just prolongs what I want.
05:28And if you can't be honest with all these people, then I'll do it for you,
05:31because I know the truth hurts.
05:34And the truth is, you're ducking me.
05:39You're ducking me because you know the second that I get a championship match,
05:43your reign as Evolve Champion is over.
05:48Baby, we can have this championship match right here and right now, please.
05:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:56Hold on, champ, hold on.
05:59Hold on, hold on.
06:02Listen, man, I respect that you run Evolve right now.
06:05That's great.
06:06I'm happy.
06:06That's great.
06:08Awesome.
06:08But Harlem, I kinda like what you said right there, man.
06:13I think you're right.
06:15Clock's running out for you, Aaron.
06:16But it's not Harlem that's gonna take that title from you.
06:20No, no, no, no, no.
06:21It's me, Braxton Cole.
06:29Because I am the one with the championship pedigree in here.
06:35I am the superstar worthy enough to take you down.
06:41And I am the man who possesses the gifts and the qualities to lead this company in the right direction.
06:51I am the guy who needs to shut the hell up.
06:58Finally.
07:04Braxton, you do have the looks of a guy everyone wants to punch in the face.
07:11I know.
07:12And don't think I forgot what you did to my friend Marcus Mathers.
07:17That was a good one.
07:18Hmm.
07:19Hmm.
07:20So you know what I'm thinking?
07:21I have no problem making this title match a triple threat so I could beat both of you.
07:27What the hell are you doing?
07:28What are you talking about?
07:29What?
07:29Hey, this isn't about you.
07:30This is about me.
07:31This is about me and that title.
07:33And I know exactly why you wanna make it a triple threat.
07:35Why?
07:35Because you're scared.
07:36I'm scared of you.
07:41Goodness.
07:42Braxton Cole looking to take full advantage right here, Peter.
07:45Things breaking down.
07:46Good.
07:46We know Harlem Lewis has been laser focused on not just the Evolve Championship but
07:50taking off of Aaron Rourke.
07:52And now Braxton Cole with that blue chip pedigree.
07:59Wow.
08:00Wow.
08:01Looking to take full advantage right now.
08:04And Cole.
08:07Gotta tell you, I did not expect that kind of aggressiveness.
08:12Braxton Cole has just made himself an X Factor surrounding the Evolve Championship.
08:22For seven generations, my family have tilled the land on a small sheep farm in Dorset, England.
08:33But that ends with me.
08:35At the age of 22, I am not only one of the best wrestlers that Europe has ever produced.
08:43But in 2024, I was given the prestigious title of Mr. England.
08:52Now that makes me officially the most handsome man in England and therefore the entire world.
09:02But please do not let my success and international beauty pageant glory have you fooled.
09:09For I am as tough as a pig's foot.
09:13And I will strip Evolve of all its glory by any means necessary.
09:21Rejoice.
09:23Tristan Angels has arrived.
09:33You can feel the confidence radiating from the English native.
09:42The following tag team matches sit for one fall.
09:46Introducing first from the Lucha Lounge in San Juan Puerto Rico, Lince Dorado.
09:56Well, Peter, we saw this tag team match come together last week.
10:00But now the mentor and student, if you will, coming together for the first time as a team.
10:05Well, that's absolutely right.
10:08Lince Dorado, of course, showing the ropes to the youngster.
10:12And now it's led to a friendship.
10:21Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:24Hey, take that down.
10:26Whoa.
10:27First of all, ladies with gentle hands.
10:32I have a new name.
10:35A name filled with main man energy.
10:41A name that should be on billboards.
10:44Should be on muscle fitness magazines.
10:49It should be in the lights.
10:53This name yells MME louder than the ladies already do.
10:59Why?
10:59My name is Max Abrams.
11:04Main man energy.
11:06Well, he certainly still has that main man energy, Peter.
11:09Absolutely.
11:11Max Abrams.
11:13Interesting.
11:14Main man energy still in effect with a new name, a new twist.
11:18So Max Abrams and Lince Dorado coming together.
11:23Well, he's certainly feeling it.
11:25Max Abrams sort of, it's main man energy, it's also Upper East Side dentist energy.
11:29It just depends.
11:31Well, it's a new name, but the same main man energy.
11:34Tag team action coming your way next on Evolve.
12:11Back here on Evolve, Peter, you've been bopping all throughout the break.
12:14Yeah, man.
12:15I'm still feeling the main man energy.
12:17I don't know about the moves, though.
12:19We gotta talk about Max Abrams moves.
12:21Incredible tan.
12:22Well, you better have a tan if you're gonna be in there with this guy.
12:30Their opponents, accompanied to the ring by its goal, the team of Santi Rivera and
12:39Sakari Ball.
12:40Let's take a look at the newest tag team right here on Evolve.
12:44And backed by ItsGall.
12:45And I had an opportunity to talk to Gall earlier.
12:47He told me, fresh new meat, ItsGall likes what he sees.
12:52Look at that fresh new meat.
12:54Oh, yeah.
12:54Well, I'll tell you this.
12:55You may not be in the ring with ItsGall, but if you're anywhere near ItsGall,
12:59you need to make sure your tan is on 1,000.
13:02And I'll tell you what, I love the fact that ItsGall, for the first time in a long time,
13:08ran into people who could be potential friends and not foes.
13:11All tan, jacked, and stacked, ready to go here.
13:15Wednesday nights on Tubi, of course.
13:17We've seen Santi Rivera before.
13:19He was a part of that qualifying match.
13:21Then, of course, Chas Starboy Hall won, where he got his title opportunity just a week ago.
13:26What's going on with Gall's shorts?
13:28We've heard about Jakari Ball.
13:29He's been a prospect for quite some time, but Peter finally stepping into the ring here on Tubi.
13:33Well, yeah.
13:34It's one thing to have conversation and speculation and excitement about.
13:39It's another thing to get in there when the lights are on and perform here in the Performance Center.
13:44Santi Rivera does some amateur bodybuilding, of course, calls himself the Divine Design.
13:50Primarily competing in the Northeast part of the United States.
13:53His incredible physique, but again, very early in his career here, trying to take it to the veteran.
13:57And how about the disrespect that he shows for the veteran right there, patting the head of Lince Dorado.
14:03Of course, Dorado competing in the WWE for many years.
14:06Of course, still a part of Triple-A.
14:08We need that player coach, if you will.
14:11As Lince looking to take control here early against Santi Rivera.
14:17Oh, take a look at C.J. Valor right there.
14:19We saw his debut a couple of weeks back.
14:21He's locked in on this one.
14:22Another top ID prospect in the new class.
14:24As you should be.
14:25If you're going to be a top ID prospect and evolve, you got to be paying attention to everything that's
14:29happening.
14:30Valor is a student in the game.
14:32Certainly wants to see what Lince Dorado brings to the table.
14:34But also wants to see his fellow ID prospects.
14:37As you see, Santi Rivera there using that power to take advantage.
14:42Now looking to take control here against Lince Dorado.
14:44Of course, a couple of weeks back we saw Lince and Max Abrams kind of meet up.
14:48And they did have a one-on-one matchup.
14:49But the veteran leadership of Lince Dorado able to get the upper hand.
14:53Here we go.
14:53Mahistra Cradle in the cover.
14:55Only two.
14:56Lince showing that cat-like quickness that Max Abrams is observing firsthand.
15:01And who can blame him for wanting to learn more?
15:02The veteran Lince Dorado.
15:04Right.
15:05Lince's been all over the world.
15:06I mean, he's earned himself an incredible reputation.
15:08And he takes offense, as we saw last week, to these young cocky rookies like Itzgal and his cohorts.
15:14Currently in the ring.
15:16As Dorado in the wrong part of town right now, trying to fight off Asante Rivera.
15:21Look at the aggression really picking up right now.
15:23And it's Gall on the outside, loving what he's seeing.
15:25And Peter, for the first time in an evolved ring, Jakari Ball.
15:28Yeah, excited to see what Jakari Ball could do.
15:30Sante did pretty well.
15:31Can Ball follow it up?
15:33And Lince with a nice counter.
15:35And here comes Max Abrams, that main man energy.
15:38Let's see what he's got.
15:39Incredible height on that drop kick.
15:41I'll tell you what he has.
15:42There's plenty of athleticism.
15:44A lot of energy.
15:45A lot of strength.
15:48Deep arm drag takedown by Max Abrams.
15:50But going back to looking at Lince and Abrams, what does Lince see in Max Abrams?
15:54You know, I'm not exactly sure, except for the things that I just pointed out.
15:58There's an unbelievable level of physical potential in Max Abrams.
16:02There's no way around it.
16:03No matter how you feel about the way he dances, the main man energy, all of that sort of dressing.
16:09But in the ring, the athleticism.
16:10Look at that.
16:11It's absolutely superb.
16:13Diving back elbow into the cover here.
16:14Hooks that outside leg.
16:15Well, there's a reason.
16:16Abrams only gets two.
16:17You know, that Cody Rhodes had him training at the Nightmare Factory.
16:20This is a kid who has a lot of blue chip potential.
16:23And of course, Max Abrams, a student of the game as well.
16:26Big fan of Lince Dorado.
16:27Talked about his 2016 Cruiserweight Classic appearance.
16:30I'm watching that film very intently.
16:33But Jakari Ball right now looking to stay in the driver's seat.
16:36This guy's a former Division I wrestler, three-time national qualifier.
16:39Peter, 80-plus wins at the Division I level.
16:42Goodness gracious.
16:43See, that man is also jacked to the gills.
16:45And as you can see, he has some ups as well.
16:48Been competing in pro wrestling less than two years.
16:50Already establishing himself.
16:51And along with Santi Rivera right here, look at this.
16:53Double D.
16:54Man.
16:54That reverse neckbreaker right on the knee.
16:56A ball into the cover by Rivera.
16:58And Dorado able to break it up.
17:00I love that.
17:01It's just a slight innovation there on that neckbreaker.
17:03Takes it to a totally different level using the knee.
17:08Now Rivera looking to cut this ring in half.
17:10Looking like a veteran tag team right here.
17:13I gotta tell you, I'm impressed so far from these youngsters.
17:17As Rivera, there's a tag made once again to Jakari Ball.
17:21And this new ID class, specifically these two, really seem to look up to it's goal.
17:26Yeah, which is, you know, simultaneously impressive and a little bit disconcerting.
17:32I mean, listen, whether you like Gall or not, he was certainly one of the first ID prospects ever signed.
17:36He's a part of that inaugural class.
17:38He's had opportunities to compete.
17:40Take nothing away from it's goal.
17:42No, he's tan-jacked and ready to attack.
17:44I don't know why he's wearing the board shorts today, but hey, to each his own.
17:47He got a little sun earlier.
17:49It's beautiful in Orlando this time of year.
17:50Could be his competition.
17:52You think so?
17:53It could be.
17:54I think I've seen him once.
17:56Has Jakari Ball right now.
17:57Calls himself the Hellcat.
17:58But Peter, with that moniker, he's quick, he's sneaky, but a 45-inch vertical.
18:04Unbelievable.
18:05And when you look at these two in the ring at the same time, knowing how young Abrams and Ball
18:09are,
18:09you could be looking at the future of WWE on full display.
18:13Another near fall there from Jakari Ball.
18:16You can see these guys have, oh, another one.
18:17Trying it again.
18:18You can see these guys, Blake, having a rivalry for a very long time.
18:23Just two incredibly impressive physical specimens.
18:26And speaking of rivalry, Peter, it's all coming to a head.
18:29Eight top superstars in the women's division.
18:31We will crown a brand new evolved women's champion tonight in that Gotham Limited.
18:35And you wanna talk about competition.
18:36I need a pick by the end of the night.
18:38CM Punk and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania this weekend, baby.
18:42That's gonna be a huge one, of course.
18:44There's a lot at stake this coming weekend.
18:46A few days away from WrestleMania weekend.
18:48Vegas is gonna be lit Saturday and Sunday.
18:50But the main man trying to light up his energy right now is Max Abrams.
18:54Looking for that tag.
18:55And now Lince Dorado and Jakari Ball cuts that right off.
18:58Just so much behind that right hand of Jakari Ball.
19:02And Ball makes the tag once again.
19:04Asante Rivera.
19:05Again, Peter, in their first matchup together.
19:06Ball and Rivera looking like a well oiled machine.
19:08I'm very, very impressed.
19:09Do we have to give some credit to It's Golf?
19:11Might have spoke too soon as here comes Lucha Lit.
19:14As Lince getting the big tag here from Max Abrams.
19:18And now Dorado.
19:20Looking to go one on two here.
19:23Well, Abrams now on the outside.
19:25But Lince taking care of business himself.
19:28As Lince.
19:30Man.
19:31From Monday Night Raw to Friday Night SmackDown to NXT to AAA right here to Evolve.
19:36He's had Evolve Championship opportunities in the past.
19:38He would love to get right back into position of his own.
19:41Bam.
19:41That's right.
19:42He gave the former champion Jackson Drake a hard backstabber.
19:45Only two there for Lince as Ball's able to break that one up.
19:49A hard fought battle between Dorado and Jackson Drake a while back.
19:52Indeed.
19:53Lince Dorado just keeps on trucking, man.
19:55As Lince, here we go.
19:58Bam.
19:58That athleticism from Dorado, man.
20:01Double stunner by Lince, and here comes Max Abrams.
20:04And Abrams sends Rivera and Ball to the floor.
20:08What can you say about the strength of Max Abrams?
20:12Looking to transfer some main man energy, perhaps.
20:14Oh, he's put the glasses on.
20:15What's he gonna do now?
20:17Looks like Abrams gonna open up the gate.
20:20And here comes Dorado flying right through.
20:25We talked about the tag team prowess of Rivera and Ball, but how about Abrams and
20:30Dorado right now?
20:31I gotta tell you, I've never seen that before.
20:33Blake Howard, have you?
20:34Oh!
20:34Has Lince up.
20:36Big cross body.
20:37Cover.
20:38Oh!
20:39Abrams holding open the top rope.
20:41Lince flying through.
20:43And seamlessly transitioning to that Juju Gattabi, that cross arm breaker,
20:46trying to flatten out Rivera.
20:49As you see, Max Abrams looking around right now.
20:51Oh!
20:52Oh, very smart.
20:53Quick thinking there from Jakari Ball to break up the pin.
20:56Bit of a rookie mistake there by Abrams not going back to his corner.
20:59The only way he's gonna legally be able to make that tag.
21:02As referee Felix Fernandez.
21:04Oh, you mentioned the ups of Jakari Ball.
21:07Did you see that?
21:07Trying to reign things in indeed, sending Abrams right to the floor.
21:11And Ball.
21:12Oh!
21:13Gonna eat that super kick from Dorado, and he's in prone position.
21:16Lince could be setting him up right now.
21:19Big moves!
21:20Oh!
21:21Jakari got his feet up at the last second.
21:23I'm still blown away by the vertical leap on that drop kick from Jakari Ball.
21:28Tag made here, Asante Rivera.
21:31And then into position.
21:32Ooh!
21:33Sets him up for a sling blade.
21:35One!
21:36And their first match together.
21:38Oh!
21:39The two rooks, I thought they had it.
21:42And Peter, I thought that was it as well, but right on the cusp.
21:45Vince Gall thought that might have been all.
21:47Yeah, but Lince Dorado, the savvy vet kicking out, but he needs Max Abrams back.
21:51Abrams still on the floor.
21:52Tag made at Jakari Ball right now.
21:54It's a two on one.
21:55As Lince, you see him reaching out right there, Peter.
21:57He's trying to make that tag, but Max Abrams not there.
21:59No, he's not to be found.
22:01And Lince with a counter!
22:03Are you kidding me?
22:04Lince Dorado fighting back against these two young guns.
22:07Spikes Ball and Rivera.
22:09Now Lince trying to work his way towards the corner.
22:12He doesn't see Abrams.
22:13He might need to do it on his own.
22:14Could be setting him up for that 450.
22:16Lince starting to climb, but here comes Abrams right back to the apron.
22:19And Abrams, he makes the tag, but a little overzealous, knocks Lince right off his perch.
22:25What are you doing?
22:26That was not main man energy.
22:30And Abrams gets knocked off.
22:33Wait a second, that was an illegal tag.
22:36And Ball and Rivera come away with the win.
22:38For the winners, the team from Santi Rivera and Shikari.
22:44Boom!
22:46Max Abrams did not have both feet touching the canvas.
22:48That was not a legal tag.
22:50That certainly prevented them from getting the fresh man in.
22:53And that led to these guys picking up their first win.
22:57Let's take a look back.
22:59Four explosive talents.
23:01Throwing caution to the wind and showing the Evolve Universe exactly what we do on Wednesday nights.
23:07And even though there was some great tag team synergy early on, the costly miscommunication between Lince Dorado and Max
23:14Abrams opens the door.
23:16And the newcomer, Santi Rivera, Jakari Ball, score the big win with It's Gall.
23:24Winners! Winners!
23:26Yeah!
23:27I gotta give It's Gall credit.
23:29I think he may have coached this team pretty well.
23:31So it looks like a little bit of a teaching moment here for Lince Dorado and Max Abrams.
23:36Well, Peter, as these ID prospects bask in their glory,
23:39Foreman Thatcher has been grinding away and is cooking up a couple of blockbusters.
23:43After last week's attack and the match then being postponed, we are in for a fight.
23:47As we will finally see Cam Hendricks and Harley Riggins step into the ring with their arch rival Tate Wilder
23:52and his partner.
23:53It's the in-ring return of Luca Crucifino next week on Evolve.
23:58And how about this?
23:59In just two weeks, the Evolve Championship hangs in the balance in a triple threat collision.
24:04Our champion Aaron Roar, Harlem Lewis, and Braxton Cole are all set to glide for the top prize.
24:10And you can feel the stakes rising as Wednesday nights continue to define the future of Evolve.
24:17Who's ready for the best night of their lives?
24:20The undisputed number one live podcast in the world is coming to WrestleMania.
24:25Tony, Triple H, have you seen these auditions?
24:28Hey! Hey, Tony!
24:30Last year, I became the most must-hear rooster of all time.
24:35It's comedy you're looking for.
24:37I don't like to brag.
24:39I've got to be a part of this show.
24:41Let me show you what I can do.
24:43Holy crap!
24:45A priest and a rabbi walks into a bar.
24:48I didn't really mean everything I said that night.
24:51This is gonna be insane.
24:54This is going to be awesome.
24:58Kill Tony.
24:59Saturday.
25:00Tickets on sale now.
25:05Welcome back to Tubi and Peter.
25:07If his last outing was any indication of what's to come,
25:10this man has limitless potential.
25:16The final contest is scheduled for one fall.
25:20Introducing first, from Brussels,
25:22Dossum, weighing 235 pounds, Dorian Van Dukes.
25:30Well, Peter, over the last few weeks on Evolve,
25:32we've seen an influx of European talent, and it all started with this man,
25:36the European wrestling machine, a true badass in Dorian Van Dukes.
25:41And you talk about someone you have no interest in running into in a dark alley.
25:46It is Dorian Van Dukes.
25:48This guy is a beast.
25:50I don't think I'd want to run into him in a well-lit area.
25:53You know what?
25:54It's a great point by you.
25:54Dark alley, well-lit alley, anywhere.
25:57Wherever it might be.
25:58I don't want to run.
25:59I'm frankly a bit nervous being this close to him at ringside.
26:03That mix of power and speed, very unique.
26:05And we'll see if he can keep his momentum rolling here on Wednesday nights on Tubi.
26:10This is a guy who sees himself in the thick of the title picture.
26:17It's important, from Palo Alto, California, weighing 225 pounds, Kai Kavari.
26:26Well, Kai Kavari kind of burst onto the scene as somewhat of a higher gun by Cam Hendricks,
26:31Harley Riggins.
26:31We saw him throw him a Tate Wilder, Dante Chen.
26:35I mean, whatever it might be.
26:36Kai Kavari has been that guy thus far.
26:39But this is an opportunity, Peter, for him to really break out on his own.
26:41And if he could derail the momentum of Dorian Van Dukes, we might need to start talking about
26:45Kai Kavari as a top contender.
26:47Absolutely right.
26:48And I'm all for it because Kai Kavari's entrance is a certified bomb.
26:52So I want to hear it as often as humanly possible.
26:55Former Division I running back at Oregon and Boise State.
26:58Let's see how he fares here against Dorian Van Dukes, a 13-year professional.
27:02And Peter, you talked about him with those championship aspirations.
27:05From what we've seen thus far, does Dorian Van Dukes have the tools to be a player here on Avon?
27:09Well, you just said it.
27:10He's a 13-year veteran.
27:12He's done it all over the world.
27:13Why not?
27:14This is the reason Evolve on Tubi every Wednesday night is such a great way to spend your time
27:19as you see Kai Kavari getting after it with Van Dukes out of the gate here.
27:25We certainly see Kavari understanding the opportunity that's in front of him.
27:28Everyone talking about Dorian Van Dukes.
27:30Kai Kavari wants them to be talking about him as Van Dukes right now.
27:34Trying to count it right now as Kai Kavari.
27:36Look at a fly through there.
27:38Big diving back elbow by Kai.
27:39But that's the beauty of this show is you get to see guys who are brand new.
27:43They're running back two years ago, and you get to see guys who are 13-year vets in the room
27:47together, mixing it up.
27:49And of course, Dorian Van Dukes, we saw him in that huge debut versus It's Gall.
27:52Looking very impressive with that as a display of offensive arsenal.
27:56There's just so much power in both hands for Van Dukes.
27:59Look at this.
27:59Look at this power right here.
28:00It's nothing for him.
28:02As Dorian Van Dukes, boom!
28:06Just dropping Kavari with a power bond.
28:08I mean, it looks like a choke.
28:11Kai Kavari's not a small guy.
28:12And Peter, I think we really have to tip our cap to Foreman Thatcher scouting Europe and going to find
28:17a gem like Dorian Van Dukes.
28:18There's no question about it.
28:20He's finding youngsters.
28:21He's finding NIL guys.
28:23He's going here.
28:23He's going to the Indies.
28:24He's going to Europe.
28:25He's doing it all.
28:25You can hear the Evolved Universe starting to chant DVD.
28:28They're certainly getting behind this man.
28:33The bad boy from Russell's.
28:35As let's see, he's up top.
28:37We talk about that mix of power and speed.
28:40He's gonna fly.
28:40Are you serious?
28:42Shooting star press.
28:44And it's all DVD.
28:45Here's your winner, Dorian Van Dukes.
28:51Impressive victory for Dorian Van Dukes.
28:54Wow.
28:56Dorian Van Dukes getting it done.
28:59He showed you the strength early on.
29:02And then, of course, that shooting star press.
29:04Unbelievable work for Dorian Van Dukes.
29:07Making relatively short work here of Kai Kavari.
29:17Well, the European wrestling machine continues to make his mark on Evolve.
29:21As now, let's hear from an angry man from Alabama, bam, bam, bam, bam.
29:28Cappuccino Jones, what were you trying to accomplish last week?
29:31You thought by jumping me you were gonna scare me?
29:36Frighten me?
29:37No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
29:39I've had these thoughts pop in my head.
29:42And in these thoughts, it was the last battle of Cappuccino Jones versus Brooks Jensen.
29:49Yet in this, there was no DQ, no count outs, no running away.
29:58Cuz me and you, we were connected, not by wrestling, but by a rope.
30:05A rope that holds a painful cowbell in the middle.
30:12So I went to the foreman, and I got it made official.
30:16Next week, my thoughts become your reality.
30:22When it's Cappuccino Jones versus the bad man that hails from Alabama.
30:30Bam, bam, bam, bam.
30:33Brooks Jensen in a bull rope match.
30:37Peter, this rivalry has these two hanging on for dear life.
30:40And now next Wednesday, it all comes down to a bull rope match.
30:44It is now time for the Gauntlet Eliminator match.
30:51The rules are as follows.
30:54Two superstars will begin.
30:57Every two minutes, an additional competitor will join the match.
31:01The only way to win is by pinfall submission or disqualification.
31:06The last remaining superstar will be crowned the new WWE Evolve Women's Champion.
31:30Introducing first from Chicago, Illinois, Lady Luck.
31:36Well, Peter, it's all come down to this.
31:38We will finally crown a new Evolve Women's Champion.
31:41Kendall Gray had her final evolution.
31:43She went to Tuesday nights with that title still around her waist.
31:46She subsequently relinquished it to Foreman Thatcher.
31:48He created this gauntlet match, continuing to add stars.
31:51And now we're up to eight.
31:52The big question is, who's walking out as Evolve Women's Champion?
31:56I mean, listen, you do not get opportunities like this often.
32:00So much talent in one match.
32:03So excited to be here for this.
32:05Lainey Luck, the ID prospect, leading the way.
32:08And here comes our eighth-and-out superstar.
32:12The opponent from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Carmen Petrovic.
32:19Yes.
32:19We saw right at the top of tonight's episode of Evolve,
32:22Carmen Petrovic announcing that she's the eighth-and-final entrant.
32:26You see her taking a look at that Evolve Women's Championship.
32:28She's gone toe-to-toe with Kendall Gray in the past for that title.
32:31Peter, is tonight the night that Carmen Petrovic finally wears gold?
32:35I'm not sure, but I'll tell you this.
32:37She's certainly among the best odds of anyone in the match.
32:40And if you're one of the other competitors to find out at the last minute
32:45you got to deal with Carmen Petrovic, that's a lot.
32:47In the third-degree black belt, one of the best strikers in all of NXT.
32:53And we're going to get things started right here.
32:54Lainey Luck, Carmen Petrovic, as Byron Saxon teed up at the top.
32:57Peter, every two minutes, once a superstar enters the ring,
33:00that clock will continue and continue to move down.
33:03And right now, let's see how these two start off.
33:05Remember, this is a gauntlet eliminator.
33:07So, of course, P.J. Vassa getting that last spot by winning that matchup.
33:10A couple weeks back on Evolve. Here we go.
33:13Crucifix.
33:13Only gets too early on for Carmen. Here we come back.
33:15The other way is Lainey only getting two.
33:18But P.J. Vassa, you have to imagine, Peter, has that inherent advantage as the last.
33:22Absolutely.
33:23Well, first of all, P.J. Vassa has the inherent advantage, I think,
33:25in every matchup she's in.
33:27That's tough to argue.
33:28Let alone being the last competitor here in this gauntlet match.
33:32So, once again, every two minutes a new superstar will enter the fray here.
33:35Almost a little bit of fusion of the Royal Rumble right now in WrestleMania season.
33:39Of course, we know what that does for the Royal Rumble.
33:42Earning championship opportunity.
33:43But right now, we are guaranteed to see someone leave here tonight as Evolve wins champion.
33:49As, of course, right now, the entire roster keeping an eye on this one, Peter.
33:53Big fight feel.
33:54A proverbial locker room sellout, if you will.
33:57Here we go.
33:57Carmen with the roll-through.
33:59Only two.
34:00I knew you were gonna say that.
34:01You see Gianna Capri, Mason Holiday, little digs all looking in.
34:05All the ID talent for some of our veterans here on Evolve.
34:08As Laney Luck looking to stay one step ahead of Carmen Petrovic right now.
34:11And you know, Blake, you asked about the advantage for P.J. Vassa coming in last on the flip side
34:15of that.
34:15Maybe even a bigger disadvantage for one of these two women who have to start this matchup.
34:20These two women going at it fast and hard, but pacing is key to strategy.
34:24As Laney and Carmen will have to go through six more convents tonight if they wanna claim the championship.
34:29As Carmen, that's a great point there, Peter.
34:31Carmen shows a quick pin.
34:32And Laney with a counter.
34:34Carmen's shoulders are down.
34:35As referee Jerry Marcus having a workout right now trying to get these pinfall attempts.
34:40Ooh, could that be it?
34:41As Laney tries to go back the other way.
34:43Look at Carmen shifter weight again.
34:45What a series of pinfalls right here.
34:47And this is only our first session of the matchup.
34:49Well, I'll tell you what.
34:50It would be such a great thing for either one of these ladies to score an easy, quick pinfall.
34:55The less work they have to do here.
34:59As we see that clock ticking down for the first time here.
35:01The third entry about to make her way out.
35:06Hold on.
35:12Kelly Armstrong.
35:14And the first ever Evolve Women's Champion taking a look at her former hardware right now.
35:19But remember, Peter, that clock does not start until she gets in the ring.
35:23And who's gonna walk out here on Tubi as Evolve Women's Champion?
35:27No break, gotta get mine.
35:30Your seat to history awaits at the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame.
35:36Honoring Stephanie McMahon.
35:39The phenomenal AJ Styles.
35:43Demolition.
35:44Dennis Rodman.
35:46Psycho Sid.
35:47Bad News Brown.
35:48A night like no other in Las Vegas.
35:52Be there when icons become legends.
35:55The WWE 2026 Hall of Fame.
35:59Tickets on sale now.
36:05Welcome back to Evolve on Tubi.
36:07Blake Howard here alongside Peter Rosenberg calling the Eliminator Gauntlet for the Women's Championship.
36:11The clock started when Callie hit the ring just moments ago and she predictably has come in hot.
36:17Not to mention with PJ Vassa at the end of the gauntlet, this is like WWE 2K26 mode on hard.
36:23Callie Armstrong, the Omega, the difference maker.
36:26She doesn't run the race, she owns the track.
36:29Callie looking mighty impressive here in the early going here.
36:32Spinebuster into the cover.
36:33As Laney Luck hangs on.
36:34And if you go back to that matchup where PJ Vassa won to get that final entry in this gauntlet
36:39eliminator,
36:39it was Laney Luck that ruined Callie Armstrong's opportunity for the pinfall.
36:44Callie had that match won.
36:45Laney Luck ruined it.
36:46Absolutely.
36:46And Callie is not- Here we go back the other way.
36:49I promise you Callie has not forgotten that.
36:52See Laney Luck there trying to hit the crucifix.
36:55We're not even halfway into this matchup, Peter.
36:57Three superstars in as Callie, Carmen, Laney trading blows right now in the center of the ring.
37:03I love what I've seen from Callie Armstrong recently as she's tried to find her way back to the top
37:07of the heap in the women's division here on the call.
37:09It hasn't all come easily since she lost that title to Kendall Gray.
37:13She's had to work through every step, and I love the work we've seen from her.
37:17She had to go home to California to Englewood to find herself.
37:20She's talked to her family.
37:21Here we go.
37:22And no cover.
37:23Only gets two.
37:24Set her childhood home.
37:25Walked through the neighborhood.
37:26Another pinfall.
37:27And Callie trying to reset herself.
37:29Put her in prime position to win the title back.
37:31But she's got one uphill climb tonight, Peter, against seven other stars.
37:35That's right.
37:35And you see the kick up from too strong Armstrong.
37:39The fans here in the Performance Center love Callie.
37:43Oh!
37:43As Callie running right through Carmen and Laney.
37:46As that clock continues to count down, Peter, we're about to hit our halfway point.
37:50Three, two, one.
37:53I'm in the zone.
37:55Oh!
37:56The former Sleepy Psycho.
37:58Ready, two!
38:02As you said, the former Sleepy Psycho, but still dangerous as ever, the veteran, Wendy Chu.
38:09Can you imagine?
38:10You hit it right there, Peter, the most experienced woman in this matchup.
38:14And you know Wendy's gonna try to parlay that into her first championship here in the WWE under the Evolve
38:19umbrella.
38:20But Wendy's got an uphill climb.
38:23And she's certainly had to persevere through a lot.
38:25We've seen her in incredible matchups, some stipulation-type matchups here on Evolve.
38:28Wendy's really left it all on the line.
38:30100%.
38:31One thing she has not done, Peter, is stack up the wins.
38:33No, she has not put enough together in a row.
38:36That's why this is such an incredible opportunity.
38:38She's not had a shot at the title in a minute.
38:41And Wendy Chu, as deserving as anyone, you said it, a stalwart here on Evolve, week in and week out.
38:47And Wendy on the cross body from that middle rope.
38:49Watch out.
38:50But needs a super kick from Petrovich.
38:52And now Carmen's looking to take over.
38:54That could be him.
38:54While Wendy hangs on.
38:56Because you know Carmen Petrovich can turn out your lights with one kick.
38:58Indeed, she can.
38:59And we talk about Wendy Chu.
39:00She's had NXT Women's Championship matchups on premium live events.
39:04Been at the top of the women's division there.
39:06She's been at the top of the women's division here on Evolve.
39:08And let's see what she can do here navigating these waters against potentially seven other opponents.
39:13As Laney Luck trying to put herself in position as Callie Armstrong, Colin Petrovich going back and forth.
39:19And Peter, the more this ring fills up, the harder it might be to call the action.
39:21Absolutely.
39:22And you know all these women were paying attention a couple of weeks ago at Stand and Deliver.
39:25All of them want the opportunity to be in that position next year.
39:28Absolutely.
39:29Everyone wants to walk in to the biggest opportunities of the year as champion for getting an opportunity at a
39:35title.
39:35And we're counting down right now.
39:37That clock hits zero once again.
39:41Tyra B. Steele joining the match now.
39:45Oh, we've got a pinball here.
39:46Tyra Mae Steele.
39:49And Peter, the only star in this matchup to claim an Olympic gold medal.
39:54As Tyra Mae Steele.
40:00And of course we've seen that mutual respect between Tyra Mae Steele and Callie Armstrong in the past.
40:05Like two ships passing in the night before.
40:07They've done some dances in the aisle way.
40:08But tonight it's all about the championship.
40:10Absolutely right.
40:11You said it.
40:12I mean, she is the only Olympic gold medalist woman in WWE history.
40:17Talking about that respect.
40:18Look at her help Callie up right now.
40:20Yeah.
40:22Although you can only have so much respect.
40:24As Callie pushing Tyra Mae right out of the way.
40:26It looks like that respect very well could be mutual.
40:28But how long can that last?
40:30At some point here, only one.
40:32Here we go.
40:32Setting her up.
40:33Could be for a Callie connection.
40:35Goodness gracious.
40:36Runs right through Carmen.
40:37Tyra with the cover.
40:38And Petrovic is eliminated.
40:40Carmen Petrovic has been eliminated.
40:43There you go.
40:43Teamwork, dreamwork.
40:44The Callie connection into the pinfall for TMS.
40:49But I think the big story is now Carmen Petrovic, one of the favorites of this matchup.
40:52The first star eliminated.
40:54And now it looks like Laney's luck has just run out.
40:57Because what started as good is turning very bad in a hurry with this two-on-one situation.
41:02Certainly gonna shake some things up here.
41:03And Peter, of course, if you're looking at an Olympic gold medalist, the first ever evolved Women's Champion working together,
41:08who could possibly stop these two?
41:10Yeah, it's gonna be very tough.
41:11If these two wanna work together, they could end up, you know what's a good strategy?
41:15They figure, hey, we work together and in the end we have a one-on-one matchup.
41:18Let the best woman win.
41:19We'll certainly see how things shake out.
41:21Right now, it's Wendy Chew.
41:23She has some issues with Callie Armstrong, pulling Callie to the outside.
41:26And that goes way back.
41:28Leaving Laney Luck in the ring right now with Tyra Mae Steele.
41:31And a lot of relief from these women when they found out they had to deal with Carmen Petrovic were
41:35not thrilled.
41:36Had an opportunity earlier actually to speak to Tyra Mae Steele.
41:39And she feels that no one really understands Callie Armstrong.
41:42She's misunderstood.
41:43But Tyra knows what she's about and wants to see that shine right here.
41:46Well, listen.
41:47So far, I gotta say, I am impressed with the connection between these two athletes.
41:59Sloan Jacobs!
42:02If you go back to Sloan Jacobs knocking off those fellow ID talents and making a huge splash and a
42:08return.
42:09Yeah.
42:10In the WWE.
42:11That's right, last week was a big week for Sloan Jacobs.
42:13Hadn't been here in a few years and all of a sudden she finds herself in this gauntlet match.
42:18Sloan Jacobs here off that DDT into the cover.
42:21And Tyra Mae once again coming to the aid of Callie.
42:25What a huge opportunity to have the mantle, the Evolve Women's Championship after the incredible run of Kendall Gray.
42:32What an honor it would be to take that title for any of those women.
42:36Sloan getting Tyra Mae caught up in the fishnets right here.
42:39Out of the corner.
42:40And Sloan Jacobs center of the ring.
42:42Man.
42:43Right on the cusp.
42:44You talk about an upset.
42:45If Sloan Jacobs pinned Tyra Mae's seal and she was that close.
42:49I got you.
42:50We certainly see a renewed sense of confidence in Sloan Jacobs ever since her return.
42:53Team ID.
42:54Now look, you see the ID talent coming together.
42:56Just like we saw with Tyra Mae and Callie.
42:58Looks like we've got, and Sloan, look at a steal run.
43:03Lainey Luck has been eliminated.
43:06Well, sorry about your luck, Lainey.
43:10Sloan pretending as if she wanted to make friends with Lainey Luck.
43:13Not so fast.
43:15No ID camaraderie there.
43:16I mean, Peter, you gotta tip your hat now to Sloan Jacobs for essentially creating an advantage.
43:21Yeah, well guess what?
43:22She may have taken advantage there, but now at this moment she finds the disadvantage.
43:27Dealing with Tyra Mae and a Callie connection.
43:30We saw it with Petrovich.
43:32Tyra Mae got the first cover.
43:33Here's one for Callie.
43:35Sloan Jacobs has been eliminated.
43:38And you gotta say, the savvy of Wendy True is still on the outside.
43:43Here she comes in.
43:44And Wendy almost forgot about her in this matchup right now.
43:47Okada roll attempt as Tyra Mae pushes her off and Callie connects with Wendy.
43:53Wendy was able to catch her breath.
43:55Dirtnap!
43:56Uh-oh, does she have it locked at all?
43:58And there's the friendship paying off for Tyra Mae's steal.
44:01Center of the ring, and look at Tyra Mae and Callie going right back to it now.
44:06Tyra Mae and Callie going to work on Wendy True.
44:09Again, a smart plan.
44:10Get Wendy True out of there.
44:12If you are TMS, it's Maddie Armstrong.
44:14And let's see who number seven is.
44:17Ho-ho, Peter.
44:22Nikita Ryan!
44:23Nikita, social media, baby.
44:27We talked about different favorites in this matchup.
44:30It's very hard to argue that Nikita Lyons not right at the top of the list.
44:33Absolutely.
44:34I mean, listen, she already brings an incredible skill set, but she also gets to come in fresh
44:38after these ladies have been beating each other down now for the last several minutes.
44:42And you see the energy from Nikita.
44:44Look at that snap suplex right there.
44:46Nikita Lyons in the best shape of her life.
44:48She's got a new focus.
44:49She's really morphed into Nikita multimedia.
44:52But now she's gonna uphill battle here against two superstars.
44:57She's gonna get a two.
44:58You hear Callie saying she's gonna get a two.
45:01Are we going to see another Callie connection?
45:03Wait, watch out, Nikita.
45:06Well, Nikita did watch out, and Tyra Mae Steele caught the Callie connection instead.
45:13Ininvertently, Tyra Mae catching the wrong end of that one.
45:15And Nikita, a big right hand dropping Callie Armstrong.
45:20And Kita, with a big roundhouse.
45:23Tyra Mae, she's gone.
45:25Wow.
45:26Tyra Mae Steele has been eliminated.
45:29Give all the credit to Nikita Lyons.
45:32She had the ring awareness to avoid the Callie connection, takes advantage of it,
45:36lands the kick, and eliminates Tyra Mae Steele.
45:40So after Steele and Armstrong set up eliminations on Carmen Petrovic,
45:44we now see a situation where the miscommunication ends up costing Tyra Mae Steele this matchup.
45:50Wow.
45:51After all that, it was good while it lasted, but it's over now.
45:55As Nikita Lyons in there with Callie Armstrong.
45:59Still have one more entry to go, Peter, and we certainly know who that is.
46:03Big Cat Kita, by the way, Blake, showing you the athleticism, too.
46:07It's the strength, it's the athleticism, the swagger, and yes, of course, what you're alluding to.
46:13PJ Vassa is bringing the issues to this match any moment.
46:17Going for that Kita bomb, perhaps, but Wendy Chiu had different designs.
46:20Both these women in a very precarious position.
46:23Uh-oh.
46:23Callie Armstrong underneath.
46:25Oh, good. Tower.
46:27Dude!
46:28Goodness gracious.
46:30The strength.
46:31And Peter, this is the exact advantage she earned in that last matchup.
46:38PJ Vassa.
46:40PJ Vassa set to enter the ring as she has her eyes set on the Evolve Women's Championship.
46:49On July 18th, the world's most famous arena delivers the main event.
47:00You know what time it is.
47:04It's Saturday night.
47:08Everyone is buzzing about this spectacle.
47:10It's Saturday night's main event at the Garden, the night of Fanatics Fest NYC.
47:16Tickets on sale now.
47:22Back in action here on Evolve, Peter.
47:24The Evolve Women's Championship at stake, and we now have four superstars still remaining.
47:29But the question still remains, who's walking out with the goal?
47:32Well, PJ Vassa always with an advantage in every ring she's in.
47:36But look at this array of talent.
47:39Boom!
47:39Nikita Lyons, PJ Vassa.
47:41Hold on, pitfall.
47:42Looking to send Armstrong into the abyss.
47:43Nikita Lyons, PJ Vassa, Callie Armstrong, and Wendy Chu.
47:47An unbelievable array here.
47:49We've won our field in half.
47:51We're down to four.
47:52But any of these four stars could really stick a claim to that Evolve Women's Championship.
47:56Yep.
47:57One of these women will be Evolve Women's Champion.
48:01Of course, Callie, the only one who would be a two-timer should she be able to win this matchup.
48:06Look at the strength from PJ Vassa.
48:08We certainly know we're looking at potential new champions this weekend in Las Vegas.
48:11But we're guaranteed one tonight here on Tubi as PJ Vassa, Callie Armstrong.
48:17These two have some history as Vassa trying that Samoan dropper.
48:21Look at the power of Callie.
48:24And Peter, that usually sets up that Callie connection.
48:27Oh, can you?
48:28I can't picture it.
48:30We've seen it twice tonight.
48:31Will it pay off for a third time?
48:33Wait.
48:34What is Tyra May Steel doing up on the ring?
48:36She's been eliminated.
48:38Oh!
48:38Uh-oh.
48:39So much for friendship and camaraderie.
48:41And Callie walks right into a big super kick.
48:44Nikita into the cover.
48:45Wow.
48:46And Callie's done.
48:47Armstrong has been eliminated.
48:50Nikita Lyons puts out Callie Armstrong and Tyra May Steel.
48:55As of course that locker room certainly locked into this one.
48:59How could you not be?
49:00After those two were working together, Peter, Nikita Lyons wiping them both out.
49:04And now this field whittled down to three.
49:08What an impressive run so far for Nikita Lyons in this matchup.
49:12A lot at stake right here.
49:14Oh, a pinfall.
49:16Another?
49:17And Nikita Lyons trying to go for a cover on P.J. Vasa, no avail.
49:20You gotta do more work on P.J. Vasa.
49:22She's just too much.
49:23And now it looks like Lyons and Chu might be trying to double team right here.
49:26And Peter, that might be their best bet to secure a P.J. Vasa elimination.
49:29I think you have to.
49:30If this is not about teamwork, it's not about friendship, this is just playing the odds.
49:35If you can take out P.J. Vasa, let's have a one-on-one matchup and see who gets it.
49:42As right now, P.J. Vasa looking to overcome two.
49:47As sends Lyons right in a Chu.
49:49And Vasa to O.
49:51The momentum sends her to the outside.
49:53And Nikita might be going for that Tiger Bomb.
49:56Wow.
49:57Could she also take out Wendy?
49:59And Big Cat, Kida.
50:01Only gets two.
50:03Man.
50:03Oh, P.J. coming up right behind her.
50:06And Vasa, who was in a hair's breath away from winning that Evolve Women's Championship in that street fight.
50:13Back at Succession Two.
50:15Man, can Nikita do it?
50:17Nikita going for a Tiger Bomb again.
50:19Vasa too much to get up and over.
50:21I'll tell you what, Nikita Lyons has shown a lot of heart so far in this matchup as Wendy's looking
50:26for the dirt nap.
50:26Wendy jumps on the back of P.J.
50:30And the momentum sends Chu right in the corner.
50:33That's the problem, Blake.
50:34P.J. Vasa just has too much strength.
50:37Boom!
50:37And a big Samoan drop.
50:39And now P.J. Vasa might be ready for Wendy Chu to get her issue.
50:43Yeah, it may be issue time.
50:46Let's see what P.J. Vasa can do here.
50:48The Evolve Women's Championship on the line.
50:51Rarely goes up to that second turnbuckle.
50:54A lot at stake right here with the title on the line.
50:56Look at Wendy now.
50:57Oh!
50:58Driving Vasa face first into the canvas.
51:01And here comes Nikita.
51:02Oh!
51:03Game slam.
51:03Center of the ring looking to pick up the paces.
51:05And another elimination for Nikita Lyons.
51:07P.J. Vasa has been eliminated.
51:11Nikita Lyons has now maybe eliminated the three toughest women in the division.
51:16Wiping out nearly half the field.
51:18Nikita Lyons essentially your MVP right now.
51:20But Peter, this match is not over.
51:22Nikita Lyons, Wendy Chu.
51:24Look to battle it out here for the Evolve Women's Championship.
51:26Yeah, this is a huge opportunity.
51:29What a Cinderella story would be if Wendy Chu, the veteran, were able to win this matchup.
51:33Just a couple of weeks after March Madness, another Cinderella coming to Tubi.
51:37As right now, Wendy Chu looking to build her case right now as Wendy's had a fight from underneath all
51:43match long.
51:44She was in this one before Nikita.
51:45And think about it.
51:46You tuned in.
51:47You did not know who we'd have.
51:48It's gonna be Nikita Lyons or Wendy Chu as your new Women's Champion.
51:52Both of these stars have had opportunities in the past.
51:54But Nikita drives her right down.
51:56Michi no Ku driver!
51:58Oh, Nikita, so close.
51:59She's got so much momentum after all those colossal eliminations.
52:03And Peter, to that point, with the momentum she's built throughout this matchup, does Wendy Chu even have a chance?
52:07Oh, obviously, Wendy Chu is a savvy veteran.
52:10And we all know, should she be able to find the dirt nap and lock it in clean, it could
52:14be over and lights out for anyone.
52:16And Wendy, of course, a veteran.
52:17She's resourceful.
52:18She might need to go to other means than the dirt nap.
52:20Uh-oh.
52:20But she's trying to lock it in right here.
52:21Yes.
52:22The Evolved Universe is on their feet.
52:23Standing room only.
52:24We know there's a locker room sellout.
52:25As Lions right now goes for a big swipe.
52:28And look at Wendy.
52:30Turning into a slam.
52:31Down goes Nikita.
52:33Oh, right on the cusp.
52:36Wendy Chu that close to being Evolve Women's Champion.
52:44Of course, the title vacated when Kendall Gray went on to NXT.
52:48And at one point, Wendy might have wanted to hit the snooze button.
52:51But she's alive and well here, Peter.
52:53Very much so, and Nikita with the opportunity of a lifetime.
52:57And Chu creating that separation.
52:58Wendy, she rarely goes up.
53:00She's gonna risk it all.
53:01Oh, the strength.
53:02I know.
53:03Nikita Lyons.
53:04Into the outstretched arm.
53:05The big cat, Kita.
53:07Oh, my goodness.
53:07And dropping Chu first.
53:09Hold on.
53:09Looking for another Kita bomb.
53:11No one's ever kicked out of this, Peter.
53:13She hit.
53:13Looking at a brand new.
53:15Oh, not quite yet.
53:18Oh, Nikita Lyons was less than a half a second away.
53:23From being your third ever Evolve Women's Champion.
53:27We know there's gonna be personal issues next week in that tag team match as well as the bull rope
53:31match.
53:31But this one's starting to become personal right here with the championship hanging the balance.
53:36Nikita went for that big roundhouse again.
53:38She's looking dirt nap.
53:40She's looking dirt nap.
53:41Nikita's starting to fade a bit.
53:43She's down.
53:45There's a cover.
53:46Nikita rolls back over.
53:48I need to save that match up for Nikita Lyons.
53:50Man, you can see the look of fear in Nikita's eyes.
53:53Back to that tiger bump.
53:54Two counter.
53:55Cover.
53:56Wendy.
53:57She does it.
53:58She does it.
53:59The winner of the Gutman Halliminator match.
54:05And the new WWE Evolve Women's Champion, Wendy Chiu.
54:17What a moment as Wendy Chiu outlasts the competition.
54:21And for the first time in the WWE, holds championship gold.
54:28Let's go back and take a look at this nonstop action.
54:32You see early on Kelly Armstrong and Tyra Maysteel working very well together.
54:36Taking out a favorite in Carmen Petrovich.
54:39And then a potential friendship between ID Towns thrown out the window.
54:43As Sloan Jacobs sees the opportunity and eliminated Laney Luck from the competition.
54:48And the double team started clicking for the inaugural women's champion.
54:52The Olympic gold medalist.
54:53Putting an end to the hopes of Sloan Jacobs.
54:57But as this match wears on.
54:58A slight miscommunication.
55:01One roundhouse kick later.
55:03And Nikita Lyons eliminates Tyra May Steele.
55:08And that causes the relationship to immediately combust.
55:12As Steele and Armstrong start throwing hands which opens the door.
55:15Right here for another strike.
55:17And bam!
55:18Nikita Lyons picking up yet another elimination in this gauntlet matchup.
55:23And now we are down to three stars.
55:25And Wendy Chiu was persevered throughout the entire match.
55:29Drops P.J. Vassa.
55:31But once again, it's Big Cat Kida taking full advantage.
55:33And causing another elimination.
55:35Bringing us to our final two.
55:38Then, with the championship hanging in the balance.
55:40The Lioness goes for the Tiger Bomb.
55:42Countered by the veteran Chiu.
55:44Right into position.
55:45To realize her dreams of becoming champion.
55:50Now you see Foreman Thatcher.
55:52Looking to make this one official.
55:55It doesn't get much more genuine than that Peter.
55:58Absolutely not.
55:59You see the respect here from the Evolve Universe.
56:01This is a woman who from episode one of Evolve has been putting it down for the brand.
56:08And now she gets to hold that title high.
56:11Of course you see that ID talent in the back.
56:13The various stars of Evolve celebrating.
56:16She's not sleepy anymore.
56:18She's wide awake.
56:19And she's your women's champion.
56:22She loves that.
56:24Get ready for the two sets.
56:25Well through the ups and downs.
56:27Multiple identity crises.
56:29Slowly rebuilding her confidence.
56:31Then realizing her destiny.
56:33The nightmares are over.
56:34She woke up from her dreams.
56:36Wendy Chiu.
56:37You are a champion.
