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.
01:35Ladies and gentlemen, it is Wednesday night.
01:40We are here at the WWE Performance Center for another incredible episode of WWE Evolve on Tubi.
01:49I'm Peter Rosenberg. This is Robert Stone. 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?
04:10Why would I need a break right now?
04:11I mean, if Wendy wants it, she can get it.
04:14I'll defend this title right now.
04:18Should we do it?
04:19I don't even know how we...
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!
04:32Well, okay.
04:33Is 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 P.J. Vasa?
05:08The following contest scheduled for one fall
05:11is for that WWE Evolve Women's Championship!
05:20Introducing first, the challenger from the city that never sleeps,
05:27Wendy Chu!
05:34And her opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada.
05:38She is the WWE Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!
05:49Well, Peter, you asked me a question.
05:51You said, how smart is it for Kendall Gray to be doing this?
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 plant.
06:36Turns into a pin!
06:38Both of these ladies know each other quite well.
06:41Their story does go all the way back to the beginning of WWE Evolve a year ago,
06:45as Wendy just mentioned.
06:46But you have to admit, Kendall 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.
07:26This 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, there's that speed again.
07:41Let's go!
07:42Oh!
07:43A Wendy Chu pulling out all the stops to become Evolve Women's Champion.
07:48The sneaky athleticism of Wendy Chu.
07:50Our title match continues next.
07:55Montreal, it's Fight Weekend.
07:58I'm automatically innovative because I have it.
08:01Friday night's SmackDown throws the first punch.
08:04You won it!
08:05You got it!
08:05Then,
08:06Saturday 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 2B.
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 at a pin.
08:39Oh, man.
08:40And Kendall kicks out at 2.
08:42Is there any chance, Robert, that just all the different stuff Kendall's doing
08:46could possibly spread her thin and weaken her in a match against Wendy Chu?
08:51Absolutely, the busy you are.
08:52Wait a minute.
08:53Watch out!
08:53Another roll up there and a kick out at 2.
08:56Oh, they're going back and forth.
08:56Turn it into 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 like this.
09:03And Wendy out at 2 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 non-stop.
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 her.
09:31She truly has become the it girl in pro wrestling.
09:35You just wonder mentally if it takes a toll.
09:38All 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.
09:52You 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, who won in this challenge.
10:25As you see two boots down to Wendy Chiu and a pitfall for the champ.
10:29And a kick out at two.
10:31Oh, man.
10:31We've seen her do that double stop so many times.
10:34And I love watching it almost put Wendy Chiu away.
10:39The athleticism of Kendall Gray really impresses me time after time.
10:43For 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.
10:55It's 12 years versus two years experience.
10:57But Kendall's holding her own.
10:58Oh, watch out.
10:59Kendall could be in a bad spot right here.
11:01Wendy sees an opening and a neck breaker.
11:04Could that be enough to get the title off Kendall Gray?
11:08It'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 arm bar.
11:47Wait, wait, it is fully locked in.
11:50Does 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.
12:03And Kendall kicks out.
12:06Oh, man.
12:08Caught her with that right to the chin.
12:10Can she capitalize?
12:12It looked like she needed to weaken Wendy Chiu a bit more in order to lock in that arm bar,
12:17which has done so many other competitors in against Kendall Gray.
12:22But now Kendall Gray goes up top.
12:23Oh, and Wendy's going to find her with an uppercut.
12:26In 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 up, Peter.
12:38She's not done.
12:39Oh, another 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.
12:59And, 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 Gray.
13:27That could be it.
13:29Kendall Gray retains.
13:33Here is your winner.
13:35It's still WWE Evolved 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, very impressive win for Kendall Gray.
14:19The champ continues to impress.
14:23Kendall Gray reigns supreme here on Evolve.
14:30Hey, Kendall, keep doing your thing as champ.
14:33Because I know her path's going to cross again.
14:36But tonight, I'm focused on Carmen Petrovich.
14:39So, Carmen, you keep asking how I'm getting all these opportunities.
14:43But 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.
14:59And tonight, it ain't going to be no different.
15:02I'm all gas, no brakes, till 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 champ?
16:01Oh, soon?
16:07Oh.
16:10Oh, oh, my.
16:14Ooh.
16:15What?
16:18Oh.
16:19Oh.
16:20So, is that good?
16:23There's much darkness in your lifelines.
16:26Oh, no.
16:28What do you mean?
16:28Let's ask the cards.
16:34Five of Swords.
16:36Conflict.
16:37Hollow victory.
16:42The Ten of Swords.
16:43Suffering.
16:45Pain.

16:53The Tower.
16:55Like the Sunset Tower?
16:57Ooh.

18:37philadelphia pennsylvania weighing at 180 pounds marcus mother all right who is ready for some pc
18:46versus id talent here on evolve well peter there you see the wwe id prospects all watching in the locker
18:56room cheering the finest marcus mathers on because they know he needs this win they need it they're
19:02watching they're supporting him and he knows that they're there absolutely momentum would be key
19:07going into next week when of course we are going to see the pc talent run rough shot and run
19:14this show
19:14evil marcus mathers very impressive whenever we see him often in tag action and of course as a singles
19:32competitor and his opponent from gox down new hampshire linging at 240 pounds braxton cole
19:43and there he is representing the pc and there you see peter in the pc locker room just like the
19:49id
19:50prospects were supporting marcus mathers all the pc talent are supporting braxton cole for this match
19:56they're ready to see him get a win for sure i don't understand supporting braxton cole what do
20:03you mean not understand supporting just look at this guy that's exactly the thing i'm looking at
20:08braxton cole i see a great athlete he's got a great look he's very talented let's not forget ivy league
20:14he
20:14got a master's degree the dude only eats red meat and fruit you got to respect him for that
20:20why do i have to respect him because who could pull that off look how great this guy looks he's
20:24he's in great shape there's no question didn't you go to an ivy league school nah kane university
20:28kane university that's how much the man loves wrestling peter next week it goes down the pc talent
20:37are running the show in two weeks cam hendricks gets his title shot against jackson drake for the
20:42evolved championship a lot coming up this match a lot of eyes are on it it's absolutely correct rob and
20:48that's why this is such an important match from a momentum standpoint i think rob is it fair to say
20:53oh as you see a strike early on from mathers is it fair to say this might be more important
20:58for the
20:58id talent who knows they have the deck stacked against the next week of course going into next
21:02week they want to win and right now marcus mathers is trying to do that dunking and dodging a few
21:06drop
21:07kicks but the size difference looks like it's catching up to him and you have to wonder how much
21:12confidence it would just bring that id locker room that we just saw if marcus mathers can get a win
21:19here tonight there's some of that athleticism for braxton cole what do you think rob we could expect
21:27from the pc talent running the show next week honestly it's just like i say about evolve all
21:33the time it's expecting unexpected who knows what these guys have up their sleeves but what i know
21:37right now is braxton cole is putting elbows is putting hands to marcus mathers that'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 that's where marcus mathers
21:53does his best damage would you agree yeah but you can braxton cole's a guy who checks every box
21:57braxton cole's the guys who has been waiting for opportunities and matches like this a lot of strength
22:03behind everything braxton cole does goes for the pin and a kick out at two for marcus math and let's
22:09not also forget something i mean there's a reason why no one's at ringside right now uh both sides
22:14the pc talent side the wwe id prospects they're not allowed at ringside for this match absolutely not
22:20trying to keep things in order before we get to next week where the pc will have complete control
22:24they have already announced a three-on-one handicap match where riggins presley and keanu take on jackson
22:29drake and then cam hendricks with a title shot against jackson drake the following week
22:36and how impressive again i gotta say this has been all braxton oh still working on mathers neck
22:43i gotta tell you i've been impressed by cam hendricks as obnoxious as he is
22:47oh another neck breaker just really honing in you gotta love it and a pin for braxton cole
22:53and marcus mathers kicks out got to see cam hendricks in the ring with i show speed not something
22:59i expected to see and of course he handled business against the internet god i show speed as well as
23:06you see braxton cole looking to go back to work on marcus matt yeah really focusing on that neck area
23:14very smart take a body part off mathers and he definitely loses feeling that could go all the
23:20way down his whole body what does that feel like stone do you want me to try it on you
23:25right now
23:25peter i mean can you imagine look at look at what's happening right now his head is twisted
23:29almost around his whole body he is twisting the head and neck region of marcus mathers
23:36that has to take a toll these are two newcomers they're both hungry they're both still unproven they're
23:43trying to carve their name into the wall of evolve but of course that's the big difference with pc
23:49and id talent these are all very young talented people but it's about how they go about learning
23:54professional wrestling well it seems like braxton's learning a lot although marcus learned that he was
24:01going for another neck breaker and held on to the ropes can he mount something here oh and i gotta
24:06say
24:06i can't be so sure that everyone in the pc is represented by team pc this is a very specific
24:13group they have beautiful as you see the athleticism of marcus mathers where you can see it in his eyes
24:20he's trying to get something going here he's young he's hungry he's fueled by passion
24:26and you see the strikes from mathers who wanted to get this match up in the air if he can
24:33here we go
24:34there you see the flying of marcus mathers once he gets going he does not stop i'll tell you that
24:40oh
24:41and even as he favors that neck manages to get it done he's taking it to braxton cole wait a
24:48minute
24:48that's a big watch out and a pin as well braxton cole kicking out at two
24:56and as i mentioned mathers still favoring the neck cole had really cinched in on him there for a couple
25:03of minutes and you see it has taken a toll on math but he's sore he's tired all the time
25:10peter
25:11he's wrestling a few times a week but he loves every second of it he is 24 7 with this
25:16he's been in
25:17this situation before yeah you see the big strike there from marcus mathers
25:25looking for a suplex oh that was impressive braxton cole reverses it pins mathers who kicks out in two

33:09in the midst of the wwe id and pc drama harlem lewis stands with an absolute confidence focused on one
33:16goal becoming the evolve champion
33:21too strong cali armstrong has a chip on her shoulder robert stone and rightfully so peter it has been 98
33:29days since she has been the evolved women's champion and believe me she 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 if she
33:40wants
33:40to get in the title picture it is so important for her to be victorious tonight let me tell you
33:46something
33:46the way she just walked to the ring i am feeling it tonight can be her night absolutely cali armstrong
33:54looking to make a statement against carmen petrovich tonight but of course that will be
33:59no easy feat we know what carmen petrovich is all about and how important this match is to her as
34:05well
34:09as you see carmen who has made her intentions clear she knows how important a win against the former
34:17champ would be rob she sure does you got to remember something carmen went straight to cali
34:24armstrong and she called her out she said in 2025 that was your year but 2026 isn't going to be
34:30she's
34:30sick of someone like cali armstrong getting all the opportunities and she wants opportunities in 2026
34:36she said that cali armstrong isn't the hype and that she's the hype tonight time will tell if that's true
34:43both of these women have to see all the amazing things happening for kendall gray and think that
34:48should be my opportunity let's go to blake howard with our ring announcements the following contest
34:53scheduled for one fall is your evolve main event introducing first from inglewood california cali
35:07armstrong and her opponent from toronto ontario canada carmen petrovich
35:37here we go stone cali armstrong and carmen petrovich two of the best natural athletes here in wwe evil
35:46and look at cali armstrong starting this off overconfident showing why this is her ring she said all gas no
35:53breaks she's back second time just throwing carmen off maybe carmen isn't ready for a former
36:01evolved women's champion like a cali armstrong cali armstrong was such a great champion and i just
36:08have to imagine if i was cali armstrong and i had been the face of the women's division early on
36:13i would be so desperate to get back to that spot when you see all the opportunities that kendall is
36:19now
36:19getting on nxt yeah well right now peter she's getting backed up to the corner with those absolutely
36:24right and carmen petrovich in control early she's gonna pin the former champ who'll kick out at two
36:30you got to remember something carmen petrovich she hasn't won every match she's been in above but she
36:36has not been pinned or submitted as you see tyra may steel in the vip lounge i've done some actual
36:42journalism here stone i've got some news oh man tyra may steel i've learned is here in wwe evolve to
36:49stay it's official that proves that the evolve women's division here is growing
37:00absolutely huge to get the olympian the gold medalist tyra may steel here on evolve as you see
37:07cali armstrong going to work on the midsection of carmen petrovich well as you can see right now
37:11both of these two are going at it and carmen is more of a striker great reversal into a pin
37:18cali is going to have to use her power because carmen has that unorthodox offense something that
37:23is hard to prepare for you don't know what she's going to throw at you so cali maybe came into
37:28this
37:29a little too overconfident and didn't do her homework and she's taking carmen too lightly it's absolutely
37:33true even though both are incredible athletes they use that athleticism in different ways you mentioned
37:38how carmen comes at you from different angles uses her feet so well and with cali of course you have
37:45speed but you have so much power and you always have to watch out for the cali connection
37:50carmen right now with the arm locked in feeling that shing shing squad behind her rooting her on
37:56you know she's going to bust out some of the shing shing action as this match goes on
38:01as cali tries to find a way out of this arm bar oh man the knee to the gut from
38:07cali armstrong and
38:08there's that power but carmen finds a way out it doesn't have to be pretty to be effective
38:15cali outside the ring cali goes down to the floor and now what's carmen petrovich looking to do what's
38:22carmen she's flying oh the time take it out cali armstrong both ladies outside the ring our main

40:43time but wow she just took carmen's head off with that i gotta tell you cali armstrong's a
40:49friggin star that's all i could say you look at cali armstrong she jumps off the page she's getting
40:55better and better as she eats a knee from carmen petrovich she's a star a star that needs a win
41:00a star that needs to get back at it you're absolutely right and wear off these kicks

41:08and a big fist from carbon as well and here's that shing shing action i was talking about yeah once
41:13she
41:14gets going once carmen gets going oh momentum works in her favor and you see the speed picking up as
41:22she goes on what you looking for here again the use of those feats though ninja-like rapid fire
41:28kicks she can catch her with out of nowhere shing blade and a pin on cali two wow almost had

43:18her aerial offense taken to the sky and then of course cali armstrong used her power and offensive prowess
43:25but it wasn't enough as carmen petrovich scored the massive victory with two petrifiers
43:33unbelievable win carmen petrovich deserves to celebrate that was my biggest win in evolve to this day
