00:00To be
00:03To be
00:04To be
00:08Then
00:15Now
00:20Forever
00:33Together
00:39I've waited months for this.
00:42I returned from LFG with one goal in my mind, and that was becoming the Evolve Champion.
00:49Jackson Drake and Aaron Rourke, they took their sweet time in calling my name as their opponent.
00:53But the opportunity to claim the title has finally arrived.
00:57And it didn't come how I wanted it to.
00:59You know, a one-on-one with the champ.
01:02But nothing will stop me from dropping Aaron and dropping country club Braxton Cole in my path to reaching the
01:09mountaintop.
01:12Tonight is my moment.
01:15And how poetic.
01:18On a night where the first ever Women's Evolve Champion, Callie Armstrong, a woman who cemented a division, a woman
01:24who built a brand, exits.
01:27I enter.
01:29And I pick up that mantle of being a dominant and destructive champion.
01:37Callie carved her path to NXT.
01:40And tonight, I take the next step in mine.
01:52I'm a G-Law holly.
01:53I'm in the holly where I'm in college.
01:56And I'm in my body.
01:57I don't see quicker than with me to run it.
01:58I leave on my red light carry.
02:00Where am I, Batman carry?
02:01No.
02:01Ain't nobody to get no one's full.
02:03No.
02:03Key to key to, I'm a bro.
02:12It's another major Wednesday night here on Tubi for Evolve.
02:16We've got a massive main event.
02:17Triple threat title match for the Evolve Championship.
02:20But Peter, coming up, it's the final Evolve match for Callie Armstrong.
02:42The following contest is scheduled 4-1-4.
02:46Introducing first, from Englewood, California, Callie Armstrong.
02:55Well, Peter, we see the entrance here of Callie Armstrong, the very first Evolve Women's Champion.
03:02And talk about a historic night, closing out things here on Wednesday.
03:06But it's Callie's night to shine once again.
03:17You said it, Blake Howard, our first-ever Evolve Women's Champion.
03:21It's been an incredible run for Callie Armstrong.
03:25And I've always been saying, she's had her eye on what Kendall Gray is doing the Vanity Project.
03:30She had dreams of NXT, and now she's off to do her thing.
03:36And her opponent, from Houston, Texas, Olympic gold medalist, Tyra Mae Steele!
03:46Well, Peter, we talk about Callie Armstrong, her history on Evolve, of course, in the very first batch-up on
03:53Evolve.
03:54But the Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele, at one time, considered a very close friend to Callie Armstrong.
03:58Yeah, well now, what she sees in front of her, and Callie Armstrong, is an opportunity.
04:08As we go back two weeks to the Eliminator Gauntlet for the Women's Championship, we saw Callie and Tyra team
04:13up, until Callie inadvertently took out her ally.
04:16But then Tyra responded after being eliminated, with a spiteful punch, leading to Callie's elimination as well.
04:27Yeah, it certainly became un-blue right there.
04:30And all of a sudden, we know what it's like in the wrestling business.
04:32You can be friends one second, one mistake, and you are foes.
04:36And now, here we are, Tyra Mae Steele getting Callie Armstrong's last match in Evolve.
04:41And a friendship certainly out the window right here.
04:44Big opportunity for both stars right now.
04:46Callie Armstrong looking, as you said, Peter, to be the next in line on Tuesday nights.
04:50We've seen it with the Vanity Project.
04:52We've seen it with EK Prosper, Shawn Legacy, Keanu Carver, the list goes on and on.
04:57But right now, Callie Armstrong looking to bookend things, basically starting things off in Evolve.
05:01As we said, the champion started in the first match in Evolve history.
05:05Taking things to the mat right now against Tyra Mae Steele.
05:07Look at Callie with the counter.
05:09Yeah, and you said it.
05:10She was involved in the first match ever in WWE Evolve.
05:14And she's been such an integral part.
05:16She was a great champion.
05:19Going to the cover.
05:20Wait to.
05:21I really think Callie thought she'd make her way back to the top of the heap of the women's division
05:25on Evolve.
05:26It didn't happen that way, but guess what?
05:28She got the phone call to go to NXT, and you move on.
05:30And she was certainly on the cusp of that, going back to that Eliminator gauntlet until Tyra Mae Steele, of
05:35course, had that collision with Callie Armstrong throughout that matchup.
05:38But Peter, going back to really what we've seen throughout Callie Armstrong's entire Evolve career thus far, what legacy has
05:44she created on Wednesday nights?
05:46I truly think Callie Armstrong will end up in a conversation about the first greats ever to come out of
05:53Evolve.
05:53You mentioned some of those names, Supershawn Legacy, Vanity Project, Keanu Carver, of course, Kendall Gray.
05:59I think Callie Armstrong now ends up being the last person in the list of that first class.
06:04Certainly seen her become a star right before our very eyes here.
06:07One of the great things about Evolve, seeing superstars grow from the ground level.
06:11As Callie's starting to click right here, a former training partner in Tyra Mae Steele.
06:15Almost holding her own a little bit with the Olympic gold medalist on the mat.
06:18Now taking a tour with the power is too strong Armstrong.
06:22And you know, I had Callie Armstrong on my radio show, Chief Heat, recently.
06:26And we talked about what that day was like at Stand and Deliver when she found out this is gonna
06:31be your day.
06:32We're gonna announce to the world that you are gonna make your way to the NXT roster.
06:35And she's clearly just overjoyed.
06:37And Peter, if you go back a couple of years of Stand and Deliver, we saw a similar video kind
06:41of roll out for a superstar.
06:42That was one, Javon Evans, and we've seen his trajectory over the last couple of years.
06:45Exactly, it can happen very, very quickly.
06:47And I think one thing, Blake, that we've always known since we first saw Callie in that first match on
06:52Evolve,
06:53was her level of physical prowess.
06:55This is an incredible track star with great success.
06:58Really didn't know a lot about the world of professional wrestling.
07:02And she has adapted and become a star.
07:05And frankly, Callie Connection may be one of the best moves in all of Evolve.
07:09Three-time All-American at Southern California, but Tyra Mae Steele putting an end to that right there.
07:14Slowing down the momentum of the first-ever Evolve Women's Champion.
07:17Now Tyra Mae bringing it right back to her bread and butter, rolls over into the cover.
07:22Gets a quick count right there.
07:24But Peter, how can Tyra Mae use this opportunity to get the attention of Foreman Pat?
07:28Well, you just said it. I mean, this is a huge opportunity for Tyra Mae Steele to show everybody
07:34just how serious this version of TMS is.
07:38Yes, she's fun and games when she enters the ring.
07:40But she needs to show people that when the bell rings, she's as serious as anyone in Evolve.
07:47And to score a win over Callie Armstrong in her final match, oh, it'd be a huge, huge opportunity.
07:53Of course, Tyra Mae Steele.
07:54She took on the final evolution of Kendall Gray here in Evolve.
07:58Now looking to turn things around here against Callie Armstrong.
08:01He looks very prepared for Tuesday nights.
08:03Well, I'm glad you brought that up.
08:05Because if you're Tyra Mae Steele, you're probably thinking,
08:07I didn't get it done against Kendall Gray.
08:09She's on top, watch out.
08:11Speaking of on top, all the way down to the floor goes Tyra Mae.
08:15Right outside here in front of us, now Callie Armstrong.
08:17She's looking around.
08:18Callie gonna run her lane.
08:20Callie gonna give it all.
08:21She's going for the baseball slide, but not on Tyra Mae's watch.
08:24Not too quick.
08:25Tyra Mae Steele was ready for that.
08:28Two of the absolute best athletes, maybe, in all of WWE in these two.
08:33Of course, Tyra Mae Steele, the winner of LFG season one,
08:36parlayed that into an NXT contract.
08:38Tyra Mae in control, but Peter,
08:39can Callie Armstrong finish her Evolve career on a high note?
08:49On Saturday, May 9th, after the biggest weekend in WWE,
08:53what happens at WrestleMania doesn't stay there.
08:57Sweet, sweet revenge.
09:00It follows you.
09:01And in Tampa, it hits back.
09:06All scores are settled.
09:08It's personal.
09:10It's backlash.
09:20Back in action here on Evolve, Blake Howard, Peter Rosenberg.
09:23The final matchup of Callie Armstrong's Evolve career right in front of us, Peter,
09:27as we've really seen her grow from the ground level all the way to Tuesday night.
09:31Absolutely true.
09:32If you pay attention, every single Wednesday night on Tubi, you get to see careers develop.
09:39You get to find a Callie Armstrong at the very beginning.
09:42The same with a Keanu Carver.
09:43And I see people commenting, oh, where did these people come from?
09:46They came from Evolve right there in front of you every Wednesday night on Tubi.
09:50Catch it each and every Wednesday, indeed, at 8 p.m.
09:52As right now, Tyra Mae Steele in the driver's seat.
09:55Peter, taking a look at this matchup right now, how personal has this rivalry become?
09:59Listen, I think it is obviously somewhat personal based on what happened in that outlet.
10:03But at the same time, this is business for both of these ladies.
10:07They both know how important this is.
10:09If you're Callie Armstrong, you want to end your time the way Kendall Gray ended it,
10:14not the way Jackson Gray did, losing his title to Aaron Roark on his final night in Evolve.
10:20The momentum that continues for the next show.
10:22And remember, Callie's been trying to rebuild momentum, and she's been doing a good job doing it.
10:27Callie Armstrong, a four.
10:28She was scratching and clawing, trying to get in that position for the Evolve Women's Championship.
10:31You see the Evolve Universe starting to rally right here.
10:34But we certainly know the Evolve Championship will be on the line in our main event.
10:37Peter, triple throw in action.
10:38Aaron Roark's got an uphill battle.
10:40Aaron Roark is a fighting champion so far.
10:43And I'll try to continue that way of being as a fighting champion,
10:47something Callie Armstrong certainly knows something about from her days as Evolve Women's Champion.
10:52Blake, you know, I did not realize, you know, Callie Armstrong's career really started in a really interesting way.
10:59She was a decorated track and field star, as we know.
11:03And then huge wrestling fan and famed rapper Rale spotted her, reached out, said,
11:08you should really try her hand at professional wrestling in WWE.
11:11Guess what?
11:12Here we go into the cover.
11:13Now she's made it all the way to NXT.
11:16What an incredible trajectory right there.
11:18Certainly picking her from the top of the pile.
11:20From the track and field world, of course, we talk about her being a three-time All-American in Southern
11:24California.
11:24But right now, Callie with a bum wheel, gonna pick up some steam yet again in the corner.
11:29And Peter, you talked about it, but Callie, nothing has ever held her back.
11:33She's only continued to move forward and fight.
11:35She talked a lot about how she's adapted the skill set from track and field.
11:40Tyra May, German suplex, nice block there by Callie Armstrong.
11:43See, and there you see, she has adapted.
11:45She has learned so many things since she got into the ring.
11:49Went for that power slam.
11:50Nice counter by Tyra May.
11:52And Peter, we thought that was step one to that Callie connection.
11:55Almost saw Callie finish on a high note.
11:57But Tyra May Steele's center of the ring has the ankle lock cinched in.
12:01And Tyra May Steele's been very smart throughout this match.
12:03By working on that ankle, she takes away some of the speed that Callie could build up for the Callie
12:08Connection.
12:09You wonder if Tyra May Steele maybe feels some pressure not winning the big one against Kendall Gray.
12:13But here we go, Callie coming back the other way.
12:16Another near fall.
12:18But she could, going right back after that ankle beater.
12:20And I really respect Tyra May Steele for even being in this situation again.
12:23It is a high pressure situation.
12:25And of course, the last time she came up short.
12:28But listen, she didn't win the Olympic gold medal by accident, Blake.
12:32As Callie Armstrong, Jenna, feed off of this evolved universe, she certainly wants to end things on the highest of
12:37notes.
12:37As she gets to prepare for her Tuesday night NXT career.
12:41She is stuck in the middle of the ring.
12:43Oh, Callie.
12:43But a nice reversal.
12:44Goes through.
12:44Cover.
12:46Only two.
12:48Listen, I gotta tell you, very impressed also.
12:51Callie Armstrong choosing to go out in a matchup like this with someone as fierce as TMS.
12:56Goes for the Olympic slam to Tyra May.
12:58There's the power slam here.
13:00That's normally step one, but she's got a bad wheel.
13:02Callie Armstrong, is she digging deep?
13:04Using the adrenaline to fight through the ankle pain.
13:07Firing herself up with every shot to that leg.
13:10Building up the steam.
13:12Runs right through TMS.
13:14And Callie Armstrong will end the ball with a win.
13:17There is your winner, Callie Armstrong.
13:25Well, listen, we've said it a thousand times.
13:27She doesn't just run the race.
13:30She owns the track.
13:32That's who Callie Armstrong is.
13:35She did her thing.
13:36She looked great early on, showing off the power and the quickness.
13:40The Omega was too much.
13:42And even with that bump wheel, she fought through.
13:46She would not be denied.
13:47And Callie Armstrong connects with the Callie Connection.
13:52And ends it with a win here on EVOL.
14:01Oh, yeah!
14:06Hey man, it's been real.
14:12Kelly Armstrong was born here.
14:17I showed everybody that the difference maker ain't the one to play with.
14:26I carried this brand on my back all this time.
14:33I carried this brand on my back even when the women's division was trying to figure out
14:37who is this next person that's going to step up and be the next top star.
14:48I made history.
14:50Kelly Armstrong will forever go down as the first ever EVOL Women's Champion in them record books.
14:58And can't nobody take that from me.
15:02I built this place.
15:06But now it's time I let others live in it.
15:10Now I'm on my way to NXT to make history up there.
15:16But just know, it's all gas, no brakes till I get mine.
15:20Yeah!
15:23Woo!
15:24Woo!
15:25Straight.
15:25Yeah!
15:26Like...
15:27That.
15:28Yeah!
15:31Well, Peter, she's been a cornerstone since the very first match on EVOL.
15:36And now two-strong Armstrong looks to change the game on Tuesday nights.
15:42That's it.
15:43Doh!
15:45Doh!
15:46Don't wait!
15:49Doh!

17:48way but he means well the following podcast is scheduled for one fall
17:55introducing first from Madrid Spain weighing in at 205 pounds Romeo Moreno
18:03well Peter looks like you found a new dance move why if you certainly did I've
18:07never seen someone struggle to just take their hands and touch their shoulders
18:10before how do you look uncomfortable even doing that it's a certain kind of
18:13movement you got to get the shoulders going and you know the way you're doing
18:17it's just it's just slightly off but Romeo Moreno I'll tell you what man he has got a lot of
18:21people paying attention and slapping their shoulders I suppose well certainly a
18:26great showing in his recent debut versus Tristan Angels but we'll see how
18:29match number two fares for L freestyle

25:50a man
25:52with a face
25:53carved out of stone
25:54and a body
25:54forged
25:55on the cold hills
25:57of Dorset
25:58England
25:59a man
25:59with no holes
26:00in his game
26:02and at the young age
26:03age of 22
26:04a man more fitting
26:06than anybody else
26:07on the Evolve
26:08roster
26:09that man has a name
26:14and it's Mr. England
26:16Tristan Angels
26:21well some lofty
26:23expectations
26:24and declarations
26:25from Mr. England
26:26himself
26:26Tristan Angels
26:27the following contest

26:31scheduled for
26:32one fall

26:42here in the Evolved
26:43Women's Division
26:44and it's
26:44the Peter Rosenberg
26:45special
26:46that's right
26:47be quiet here
26:48Blake I want to see
26:48if they hit the move
26:49we talked about
26:50because we've been
26:50working on a few
26:51different things
26:52as you know
26:53Mason Holiday
26:54Layla Diggs
26:55they don't just
26:55bring it in the ring
26:56they bring it
26:57with the swag
26:58they bring it
26:58with the moves
27:00I think you're
27:01going to like
27:01what they bring
27:01we worked on
27:02some good stuff
27:02this week
27:03where's the new move
27:03it's coming up
27:04give it a second
27:06you don't believe
27:07you don't think
27:08I'm a skilled dancer
27:08that bothers me
27:09listen I've seen
27:10some tape
27:10there's some footage
27:11out there
27:14you got to admit
27:15there it is
27:16that was it
27:16that was the move
27:17we worked on
27:18you see that
27:19they pointed to me
27:19right after it
27:20happened too
27:20they pointed to you
27:21yes
27:22it was like a thank you
27:22you're welcome
27:23let me just say that
27:25Mason Holiday
27:26Layla Diggs
27:26certainly been
27:27shaking things up
27:27in the Evolve
27:28women's division
27:29I see what you did
27:30there
27:30shaking things up
27:35and their opponents
27:36the team are
27:37on your roof
27:38and Gianna Capri
27:45these two had an
27:47incredible opportunity
27:48in their Evolve
27:49debut a couple
27:49weeks ago
27:50they sure did
27:50and they have
27:51another opportunity
27:52tonight
27:52because Mason and
27:54Layla are now
27:55Evolve veterans
27:56been doing this for a while
27:57indeed
27:57but on your run
27:58and Gianna Capri
27:59two brand new
28:01WWID prospects
28:02teaming up for the
28:02very first time
28:03and what an opportunity
28:04this is
28:05to make a statement
28:06right out of the gate
28:07but if you're Mason
28:07and Layla
28:08you can't lose
28:09to the new girls
28:10right
28:11that's certainly
28:11a very good point
28:12but of course
28:13at one time
28:14Holiday Diggs
28:15they were the new
28:16girls in town
28:16so we certainly
28:17see the progression
28:18of course
28:18each and every
28:19Wednesday night
28:20on Evolve
28:20you see stars
28:21really start to grow
28:22really from the
28:22ground level
28:23and see their
28:23progression
28:24from Evolve
28:25right to NXT
28:25and then never know
28:26how high the ceiling
28:27very well could be
28:28as Gianna Capri
28:29thought she was going
28:30to start things out
28:31but it looks like
28:31it's going to be
28:31on your room
28:32and Peter we talked
28:33about that fatal
28:34four-way
28:34that got them
28:35an opportunity
28:36to compete
28:37for the Evolve
28:37Women's Championship
28:38what did these two
28:39show in their debut
28:40a couple of weeks back
28:41I think they just
28:42showed that there's
28:43some raw talent there
28:44and there's something
28:45to keep an eye on
28:45I mean look at
28:46Anya Rune for example
28:47she is truly
28:48a unique presence
28:50here on Evolve
28:51I can honestly say
28:52there has never been
28:53an Anya Rune
28:53prior to this
28:54and she is bringing
28:56that main character
28:57energy
28:58certainly a little bit
28:59different than the
28:59main man energy
29:00very much so
29:01and I'm glad
29:01I'm all set
29:02on main man energy
29:03has Anya Rune
29:04in there
29:05oh there you go
29:05a double team
29:06right there
29:06as Mason Holiday
29:08picking up the pieces
29:09from Layla Diggs
29:09into the cover
29:10only gets one
29:11and we've seen
29:12Mason Holiday
29:13really evolve
29:14over the last year
29:14Layla Diggs
29:15and Mason
29:15been working hard
29:16at the Performance
29:17Center
29:17have really come
29:18a long way
29:19and obviously
29:19that's now
29:20what Gianna Capri
29:21and Anya Rune
29:22are hoping to do
29:22and Peter
29:23to that point
29:23you almost have to
29:24wonder
29:24do these two
29:24have the most
29:25chemistry
29:25out of all the tag
29:26teams in Evolve
29:27that's a great question
29:28obviously with
29:29Brad Baylor
29:30and Ricky Smokes
29:31now on NXT
29:32they were certainly
29:33in the number one spot
29:33they are no longer here
29:34that's a great point
29:37as Diggs taking over
29:38right here
29:38against Gianna Capri
29:39the quick tag
29:40back into Mason Holiday
29:41I like the quick tags
29:42I like the quick tags
29:43between Diggs
29:45and Holiday
29:47Mason Holiday
29:48in control right now
29:48here we go
29:49into the cover
29:49outside leg
29:50what do you think
29:51of the color scheme
29:51we came up with here
29:53for Mason and Layla
29:55oh you put a touch
29:56on this one
29:56I don't want to
29:57take all the credit
29:58I didn't really catch
29:59you as a purple guy
29:59no no I love purple
30:01yeah big purple
30:02oh
30:03as you see
30:03Rune and Capri
30:04start working
30:05well together
30:05right here
30:06Peter you wonder
30:06would these two
30:07be able to coexist
30:08they seem to be
30:09working more together
30:10early on
30:10yeah so far
30:11so far
30:11I think they see
30:12this as an opportunity
30:13and both of them
30:14figure if we could
30:15work well together
30:16tonight
30:16it's simply helping
30:17both of us
30:18wow
30:18look at that
30:19Gianna Capri
30:20a ballerina
30:21for 20 years
30:22certainly showing
30:22that extension
30:23right there
30:23yeah I see that
30:24god that
30:24that hurts just a lot
30:26oh
30:28and Capri
30:29into the cover
30:30hooks the outside leg
30:31only two
30:31a lot of experience

30:36she's competed
30:37really all around
30:38the United States
30:38as well
30:39Capri
30:39not a rookie
30:40inside the ring
30:41well that's the beauty
30:42of Evolve
30:42that's why you watch
30:43every week on Tubi
30:44because
30:44tag made a roof
30:45so many different
30:46levels of wrestler
30:48in Evolve
30:49some brand new
30:50some have been
30:51around the way
30:51some looking for
30:53another opportunity
30:54as you get a look
30:55at Anya Rune
30:56not just unique
30:57with her look
30:58and her entire style
31:00but also her
31:00in-ring work as well
31:01as Rune really started
31:02to create a lot of buzz
31:03on social media
31:04specifically on the East Coast
31:05really starting to rise up
31:06the ranks
31:07getting an opportunity
31:07here in Evolve
31:08Foreman Thatcher
31:09really granting her
31:10an excellent chance

31:33huge triple threat action
31:35major main event
31:36can Aaron Rourke
31:37hold on to the title
31:38this is a huge risk
31:39for Aaron Rourke
31:40I love his fighting spirit
31:42sometimes I question
31:44whether the thought process
31:46makes sense
31:49as there's a tag made
31:50to Anya Rune
31:51yet again
31:51oh man
31:52Layla Diggs

32:08watching her
32:09put it together

32:11to see if she
32:12can put it all
32:13together

37:47locked in
37:48Wednesday nights
37:49on tour
37:50Roman Thatcher
37:51certainly gonna have
37:51another big decision
37:52to make but
37:53this is something
37:54that has been
37:55nearly a year
37:56in the making
37:56for one Harlem
37:57Lewis ever since
37:58returning to Evolve
37:59really ever since
38:00Evolve was established
38:01he had one goal in
38:02mind of winning the
38:03Evolve championship
38:04he returned several
38:05months ago
38:06he was zeroed in on
38:07Jackson Drake
38:07that target has now
38:08shifted to Aaron
38:09Ward but now we see
38:11a little bit of a
38:11wild card in the form
38:12of Braxton Colton
38:13absolutely right
38:14that's exactly why I
38:15respect Foreman
38:16Thatcher so much
38:18he's done such a
38:19great job getting us
38:20the championship
38:21matches we want
38:23on this show
38:24his leadership has
38:26been incredible
38:27and now you get to
38:27see Harlem Lewis
38:28get his shot
38:29as well as
38:36Braxton Cole
38:37as here comes
38:39the Ivy League
38:40Green bringing
38:41the heavyweight
38:42damage

38:44you saw him as a
38:45part of Team PC
38:47several months back
38:48and Braxton Cole
38:48certainly made quite
38:49the impact
38:50ever since coming
38:51to Wednesday night
38:51yeah I think that's
38:52fair to say Blake
38:53Braxton Cole
38:54you know
38:54I'll tell you one
38:55thing he's a big fan
38:56of Braxton Cole
38:57that's an understanding
38:58yeah a really big fan
39:00but guess what
39:00smart guy as we know
39:02decorated in great shape
39:04the question is

39:07championship opportunity
39:09Robster
39:10Robster
39:10A5

39:27isn't that very telling
39:28the kind of character
39:30you keep around

39:33some people might be
39:35afraid of this
39:35environment
39:36this atmosphere
39:37but not me

43:31of the belly

43:32and Roark
43:33now oh
43:33in the fireman's
43:34carry position

43:46Lewis
43:46as you see the champion
43:48taking down Cole
43:51but the knees go up
43:52for Harlem Lewis
43:53Harlem Lewis has been
43:54hovering around that
43:55title since he
43:56arrived on Evolve
43:57he's wanted this
43:58opportunity
43:58and guess what
43:59Blake

44:14knocking off Brooks
44:15Jensen

44:16the rightful next
44:17title on
44:18I think so
44:19when you mention those
44:19names
44:20think about that
44:20Hardway, Holloway,
44:22Brooks Jensen
44:22these are some of the
44:23baddest dudes
44:24oh
44:25in all of Evolve
44:26and Harlem Lewis has
44:27not backed down
44:28from one of them
44:28how can you hate
44:29on him being the guy
44:30to get the opportunity
44:32and Aaron Roark
44:32he finally has the title
44:33shot
44:34doesn't come in the
44:34fashion he was expecting
44:35but Aaron Roark
44:36willing to put that
44:37title on the line
44:38once again
44:38and Braxton Cole
44:40setting him from the
44:41top all the way down
44:42to the floor
44:42and Cole has been
44:43that wild card
44:44throughout this entire
44:45feud thus far
44:46leading up to
44:47tonight's match
44:47well Harlem and Aaron
44:48were going at it

44:50now
44:51Braxton Cole
44:52outsmarting both
44:54opponents
44:54can he continue
44:55when we come back
44:59how does an event
45:00become an experience
45:03this is how
45:07this is why
45:12this is Wrestlemania
45:15we know what it means
45:17to our country
45:18but what could it mean
45:21to a kingdom
45:25Wrestlemania
45:26for the first time ever
45:29from the kingdom
45:31of Saudi Arabia
45:32a phenomenon
45:33so incredible
45:34it would need
45:36to be experienced
45:37to be believed
45:45back in action
45:46here on Tubi
45:47Blake Howard
45:47Peter Rosenberg
45:48triple threat action
45:49for the Evolve
45:49Championship
45:50what a main event
45:50it's been
45:51and Peter all throughout
45:51the break
45:52it's called
45:53Braxton Cole
45:54yeah Braxton Cole
45:55is taking control
45:56and again
45:56we talked about him
45:57going to Brown University
45:58you can see him
45:59use his head man
46:00listen I don't like
46:01to give guys
46:01oh look at that
46:02I don't like to give
46:03guys like Braxton Cole
46:05pinfall
46:05cover
46:06only two
46:06I don't like to give
46:08guys like Braxton Cole
46:09any credit
46:09this is not my kind of
46:10guy okay
46:11but at the same time
46:12you got to give credit
46:13where it's due
46:14he's smart
46:15he's wise beyond
46:16his years in the ring
46:18and he has himself
46:19a huge huge chance
46:22early on in his
46:23Evolve career
46:23knocks Lewis right off
46:24the apron yet again
46:25Peter was something
46:25I was attempting to
46:26touch on earlier on
46:27something he's heard
46:28and seen from Braxton Cole
46:30but does he have
46:31the championship
46:32pedigree on Wednesday
46:33nights
46:33oh listen
46:34we're gonna find out
46:35we're gonna see here
46:36if he can survive
46:37the champion
46:38Aaron Rourke
46:39in Harlem Lewis
46:39there's no question
46:40the pedigree
46:41I cannot tell you
46:42whether or not
46:43this man's built for it
46:44until that
46:46ref holds someone's
46:47hand up
46:48as Braxton Cole
46:49feels that he truly
46:50embodies what it means
46:51to be a WWE superstar
46:54as right now
46:55Braxton in firm
46:55control here
46:56against Aaron Rourke
46:57stopping away
46:58taking away that wheel
46:59of the Evolve champion
47:01right now
47:03again like I said
47:04Conor lies beyond his
47:05years right
47:05this may be the way
47:06to approach
47:07dealing with the
47:07Dime Piece
47:09as of course
47:09we certainly know
47:10another big championship
47:11match will be on the
47:12horizon next week
47:13with Wendy Chu
47:13puts her title on the
47:14line against Laney
47:15Luck
47:15as right now
47:16Harlem Lewis
47:17finds his way
47:18quickly back inside
47:19the ring
47:20Harlem didn't want
47:21to sit back
47:21and watch
47:21look at Rourke
47:22in a wheelbarrow
47:22position
47:23cover
47:24only gets two
47:25as Harlem Lewis
47:26now
47:27looking to keep
47:27his foot on the gas
47:28as Rourke back
47:29to his feet
47:30stunning Lewis
47:31with a big knee
47:31right now
47:32once again
47:32the champion
47:32does not have
47:33to get pinned
47:33or submitted
47:34to lose his title
47:36what a big win
47:37this would be
47:37for Aaron Rourke
47:38by the way
47:38going for that DDT
47:40with an assist
47:41from Cole
47:41but look at Harlem
47:42Lewis put on the brakes
47:43and the power and strength
47:45look at this
47:47oh man
47:48dropping Rourke's
47:49stomach first
47:50across that top rope
47:51brute strength
47:52from Harlem
47:52Lewis
47:54oh man
47:55and Rourke
47:57ran right
47:58into the ring post
47:59and you wonder
48:00right now
48:00Blake
48:00is it possible
48:02that maybe
48:02this was too much
48:03of being a fighting
48:04champion
48:05for Aaron Rourke
48:06as Cole
48:07looking to take
48:07full advantage
48:08right now
48:09as Braxton
48:10beginning to unload
48:11oh man
48:11he is
48:12he is taking it
48:13to Harlem Lewis
48:15we talked about
48:16Harlem Lewis
48:18essentially being
48:18right on top
48:19of things
48:19always looking
48:20to be
48:20the next in line
48:21for that title shot
48:22you almost have to
48:23wonder
48:23is Braxton Cole
48:25standing right in Harlem
48:26in this spot
48:26he is right now
48:27and remember
48:28with Aaron Rourke
48:28outside the ring
48:29either of these guys
48:30scores a pinfall
48:31boom new champion
48:32and Aaron Rourke
48:33there's nothing you
48:33can say about it
48:34as he's stuck on the
48:35outside
48:35putting more onus
48:36on this one right now
48:37that triple threat
48:38is Aaron Rourke
48:39putting himself
48:40behind the eight ball
48:40right now
48:41as Braxton Cole
48:42with a scoop slam
48:42center of the ring
48:43into the cover
48:43hooks the outside leg
48:44and that's what I mean
48:45only two
48:45is it biting off
48:47more than you can chew
48:47if you're Aaron Rourke
48:48yes it's great to be
48:49a fighting champion
48:49but did you want to
48:51find yourself
48:51in a triple threat match
48:52where you can lose
48:52the title
48:53and you're not even
48:53involved in the pinfall
48:54we saw him offer
48:55a title shot
48:56to one of the ID
48:56prospects who have
48:57now offering a title
48:59shot here
48:59in this triple threat
49:00environment
49:01maybe a little bit
49:02too friendly
49:02of the Evolve champion
49:03and remember
49:03this isn't respectfully
49:05this is not
49:05Jackson Drake
49:06who is running around
49:07with the rest of
49:07Vanity Project
49:08right Aaron Rourke
49:09is solo
49:10as Lewis explodes
49:12out of the corner
49:13with a clothesline
49:14and if Harlan Lewis
49:15can ramp up
49:16the intensity here
49:17Peter
49:17we very well
49:18could be looking
49:18at the next champion
49:19very much so
49:20Harlan Lewis has been
49:24begging for this
49:25opportunity
49:26he's been earning it
49:27and now he's got a chance
49:29to win the title
49:30if he can pin Braxton Cole
49:31here we go
49:31center of the race
49:32shoulders are down
49:34two and three quarters
49:35right there
49:35now Lewis
49:36signaling for the end
49:37he could be looking
49:38for that boom slang
49:39champion's back in the ring
49:40breaking the ring
49:41oh
49:43bit of an assist
49:44for the DDT
49:44by the dime piece
49:47this could be the break
49:48the champion needed
49:49as Rourke now
49:52looking to get back
49:53at this one
49:53this is the one on one
49:54that Harlan Lewis
49:55was hoping for
49:57man
