00:07Then, now, forever, together.
00:33Team PC is riding high after last Wednesday, embarrassing Sean Legacy and the rest of Team ID.
00:37But tonight, Cam Hendricks gets his shot at history as the Vanity Project's wildcard, Jackson Drake, defends the WWE Evolve
00:44Championship against Team PC's Cam Hendricks.
00:49What are you putting on now?
00:50I'm putting like 405, 505 for reps.
00:53505 for reps.
00:54Why? Stop the cap, bro. He did not do that.
00:56You saw it.
00:57I've seen him do it.
00:58Why are you lying for him?
01:01Hey, damn it.
01:01This place is a big stop.
01:03Hey, we got something for that.
01:05Hey, last week went exactly the way we wanted.
01:07Ain't no way Jackson going into tonight not thinking about last week.
01:10It's about watching the shots go in.
01:12You got the champ slipping?
01:13You're going to catch him slipping again, bro.
01:14Hell yeah.
01:15Yeah, baby.
01:15And tonight, I'm going to finish the job and finally bring some star power to that Evolve Men's Championship.
01:21Jackson Drake just ain't cutting it anymore.
01:23What about time he's sitting his goofy ass down, bro?
01:26What's up, bro?
01:27Big Gray.
01:28How you doing, man?
01:29Hey, where you been?
01:30Hey, it's good looking.
01:30It's good looking here right now, dude.
01:31Yeah, yeah.
01:32Don't worry about it.
01:32We got a guy for that.
01:33It's been like 20 minutes, though, bro.
01:34Where you been?
01:35Oh, sorry, guys.
01:36And got a little messy in the bathroom, if you know what I mean.
01:41Well, anyways, is Legacy going to get here anytime soon?
01:44He's got to clean all this up.
01:46Yeah, where's that guy?
01:47Where's that guy?
01:47Whatever, though.
01:49Cam, how you feeling, man?
01:50All I'm going to say is, I woke up feeling dangerous.
01:54Ooh, I like that.
02:00Hey, what's up, man?
02:01Let's see, man.
02:03Let's see.
02:03Come on.
02:04Super.
02:05Mr. Super himself.
02:07He has one goofy ass.
02:08Yeah, we got something for you.
02:12What's for you?
02:12It's going to be super clean, bro.
02:16Let's go ahead and clean this place up, brother.
02:18There you go, brother.
02:19Hey, and Brax left you a little surprise in the bathroom.
02:22Don't forget that, though, bro.
02:24That's what I'm going to be super.
02:31I'm a G-Lot, I'm in the alley where I'm in college.
02:35I'm in my body.
02:36I love to pick it and whip it around.
02:37I'm in my bed like Harry.
02:39Where are my Batman and Harry, you know?
02:41Ain't nobody eating and nobody's full.
02:42No, kida, kida, kida, I'm a bro.
02:49Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WWE Evolve on Tubi.
02:53Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone, ringside at the WWE Performance Center.
02:57You see the energy of the newest official signee here on Evolve,
03:02Tyra Maysteel, the gold medalist.
03:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
03:08Introducing first, from Houston, Texas, Tyra Maysteel.
03:15I'm up in Evolve, baby!
03:16So excited to see Tyra Maysteel, but let me tell you, Stone,
03:19I'm sickened to see what I just saw in the PC locker room with Super Sean Legacy.
03:23Yeah, Sean Legacy.
03:24I mean, I think he actually makes a good genre.
03:26I own non-gyms.
03:27Maybe I'll hire him.
03:28He can get some extra work.
03:29He'd be great at them.
03:30Really?
03:30I mean, he looks the part.
03:40And her opponent, from Kenosha, Wisconsin, Carly Wright.
03:47Well, Peter, you've got to remember, she ended her friendship with Kendall Gray a few months ago.
03:52I don't want to say end the friendship, but they basically said that she wanted to go her separate way
03:57from her,
03:57so she wasn't in the shadow of everything Kendall is doing.
04:00She wanted to create her own path, and I don't blame her.
04:04She's the resident ray of sunshine, but she needs an edge.
04:06She needs something different.
04:08Will she bring that to this match?
04:09I hope so.
04:11Well, she better, because Tyra Maysteel, which she may lack in experience in the ring,
04:17she makes up for with an unbelievable athletic ability.
04:23Oh, she is so nice outside of the ring, but when the bell does ring, she is a monster.
04:27You're going to see when they connect right here, look at her.
04:30She just throws bodies around, stretches bodies in ways that they shouldn't go.
04:34Look at that.
04:35Oh, and you see, look at her pin early on on Carly.
04:36Would you even say, like, we've seen Tyra Maysteel here on Evolve before.
04:39There's something different about her energy right now.
04:41I mean, she's officially here.
04:43She's full-time.
04:44You know on her mind, she knows this Evolve women's roster is growing,
04:48and she eventually wants an Evolve women's championship match.
04:51How are you going to get it by throwing your opponents like that?
04:55And you see the borderline obnoxious excitement there from Tyra Maysteel,
05:00at least in the eyes of Carly Bright, who cannot like how that felt.
05:04She's confident.
05:05Let me tell you something.
05:06I hope Carly prepared for this and really knows she had to step up her game for this match.
05:11You are 100% correct.
05:13Yep.
05:16I belong, too.
05:24Wouldn't you think, Stone, that seeing everything that's happened for Kendall Gray
05:27has to inspire Carly Bright on some level?
05:30A win can move you forward in this division.
05:32A loss can make you stand still.
05:34But trying to out-wrestle a Tyra Maysteel isn't a smart thing to do.
05:38Really, really well said.
05:39So what do you do, then, if you can't out-wrestle Tyra Maysteel?
05:41You find a way to get out of one of her holds, and you use strikes.
05:44Maybe you have a submission that you can lock in in a different position.
05:49She's getting bent in half right now.
05:51Wow.
05:51By Tyra Maysteel.
05:52I told you she stretches bodies.
05:54She really is.
05:55She is stretching Carly Bright as we speak.
05:59Will Carly submit?
06:00No, she's going to try to fight out, and she does.
06:03Oh, man.
06:04You said it.
06:05Maybe getting on the ground and wrestling up.
06:07And look at Tyra Maysteel.
06:09She loves it.
06:09This is where she wants to be.
06:11She's a high-class athlete.
06:13She's a top-tier competitor.
06:15I mean, she's the first female Olympic gold medalist winner in WWE history.
06:19Female.
06:19Yes, that is true.
06:21That is an incredible statistic, incredible honor and distinction to have.
06:27And you see how innovative she is with that ground game.
06:31She's going to make it really, really hard for the other women here on Evolve.
06:35And look, we're just kicking off Evolve with this match tonight, our main event.
06:39Maybe one of the biggest matches in Evolve history because it could change the course of Evolve.
06:44Cam Hendricks, the challenger, getting a shot, a shot that he earned against the Evolve champion, Jackson Drake.
06:51Yeah, he earned it, I suppose.
06:53I mean, he did.
06:54Team PC earned it with the win of that gauntlet match a few weeks back.
06:57But what we've seen over the last couple of weeks.
06:59Carly Bright just earned that head scissors.
07:02Way to turn things around here and get some momentum now for Carly Bright.
07:05Can she take advantage?
07:07Right back to work goes Tyra Maysteel.
07:10That was a momentum killer.
07:12Carly Bright thought she had an opening and Tyra completely took it away.
07:15Yeah, caught her with that German suplex and now got her locked right back in where she wants her.
07:20This has been all Tyra Maysteel.
07:22She has been dominant.
07:23What a showcase she's putting on.
07:25You ever have a one-on-one match with Kurt Angle?
07:27I have had a one-on-one match with Kurt Angle.
07:29What do you do with someone with that kind of ability?
07:31I mean, my game, we're going 15 years back.
07:34My game plan was a lot different.
07:35I don't know.
07:36The standards in wrestling are different now.
07:38Okay, Carly Bright probably went into this match different than I would have with Kurt.
07:44It could be pretty overwhelming against a prodigy like Tyra May.
07:47Oh, a big clash there.
07:48I think they clocked heads.
07:50And both women are down.
07:51This is a time where Tyra is down and Carly needs to figure out a plan.
07:57She needs to find a way to use the ropes to get to her feet first to mount some offense.
08:02Absolutely right.
08:03If you don't take advantage of this moment, if you're Carly Bright, you may not get another shot.
08:09Shot to the gut there, Tyra.
08:10That's not a bad start.
08:13Yeah, I don't hate this approach.
08:14Don't hold back, Carly.
08:15You wanted this.
08:16You wanted to break out and be your own star.
08:19Let's do it.
08:19Kick to the gut, chop, clothesline.
08:23Lefty clothesline.
08:24Another one.
08:26Carly Bright mounting a little bit of offense here.
08:29Can she turn it into a dub?
08:31Oh!
08:32Neck breaker!
08:33A really interesting spinning sort of neck breaker.
08:35Where's Carly Bright going?
08:36I don't know, but I feel like that was an opportunity where you'd try to take a pinfall.
08:41Carly's going to go up top instead.
08:42Will it be effective?
08:45Oh!
08:45Caught midair.
08:46Tyra's got power, too.
08:48That might have been the mistake that cost Carly Bright the matchup.
08:53She was telling me about this move May Day.
08:57Connecting and a victory for Tyra May Steele.
09:02Here is your winner, Tyra May Steele.
09:07Tyra May Steele has shown us things before on NXT.
09:10She's shown us things here on Evolve.
09:12However, she looked different tonight.
09:15Everything about her, a different kind of energy.
09:18Stone, take us through how she got it done.
09:21Well, let's have a look back at this one where Evolve's resident Ray of Sunshine did her best
09:26to go toe-to-toe when an Olympic gold medalist became ever so close to victory.
09:31But in the end, Tyra May Steele made a statement showing she is on Evolve to stay,
09:37picking up an important victory over a very tough opponent.
09:43Absolutely right.
09:44An impressive victory from Tyra May Steele.
09:46You see the energy.
09:47You see the excitement.
09:49Very impressive stuff there from Tyra May Steele.
09:54Come on.
09:55I don't like this at all.
09:56Get up.
09:57Get up.
09:57Oh, wow.
09:58Really?
09:59Gentlemen.
09:59You invite us?
10:00Boys.
10:02Oh, God.
10:03We invited y'all in here.
10:04Not because we...
10:05Okay, guys, look.
10:06New year, new vanity project.
10:08Okay, we're trying to be a little more inclusive.
10:10And maybe even a little more like...
10:11Humble.
10:12Really?
10:14Okay, guys, look.
10:15Long story short.
10:16Jackson's been going through a lot.
10:18We literally invited you in our dorm.
10:19Just asked for a little bit of help.
10:20That's it.
10:21Yeah, look.
10:21The vanity project...
10:22Or we...
10:24We collectively need to band together if we're going to take out Cam Hendricks and the rest
10:28of the PC crew.
10:29I wasn't...
10:29No way.
10:29I don't care.
10:30No way you brought us in here for that.
10:34After the way y'all been treating us all year, y'all been talking crazy, treating us the
10:37way you have.
10:38Now you're talking, we need to band together.
10:40No, you need to wake up.
10:41You know what, Cap?
10:42You know what?
10:43Honestly, Jackson, you as champion, like, you're good.
10:47You know, something great to look at, right?
10:49But the more I think about it, there's no way in hell we can let Cam Hendricks be champion.
10:54Oh, yeah.
10:54So, good for you.
10:54You actually had a point.
10:56Who knew there was a brain behind there?
10:57No, you ain't lying.
10:59You ain't lying, Aaron.
11:00Look, look, look.
11:00Cam, I can't stand his arrogant ass.
11:02No.
11:03And Jax, Harley, Keanu, man, they unpredictable, bro.
11:07Guys, Cam, Keanu, and the PC athletes could be destructive.
11:11But you know what they don't have?
11:13They don't have.
11:14Main man energy.
11:16But we should talk about this.
11:18So, you really think we should do this?
11:20Yeah, let's do it.
11:21Oh, yeah, guys, huddle off.
11:23We're in no rush.
11:24We're in no rush.
11:25We can do this.
11:26Okay, okay, okay.
11:28Hey, you tell him.
11:28You're not in a rush, okay?
11:30We've conversed.
11:30We've talked it over.
11:31That's what converse means.
11:32And we're in.
11:34And not for any one of you.
11:36But because it's what's best for Evolve.
11:39Okay.
11:39Beautiful.
11:40Thank you, Aaron.
11:40The boys, we owe you one.
11:43Oh, you do.
11:43And I left my number in your bag, so you can call me whenever you want, champ.
11:49Let's go, Cat.
11:51Ciao.
11:52By the way, y'all need to clean this dirty ass room.
11:54Hey, we're in, too.
11:57Oh, yeah, no, we're probably good on that.
11:59I think you're just a little too new.
12:00What?
12:01What are you talking about?
12:02Oh, you guys are serious?
12:03Yeah.
12:04Yeah, no, we're good.
12:05Yeah, babe.
12:06It was like that, huh?
12:07Hey, hey, hey, hey.
12:08Sunglasses up.
12:09You heard him.
12:10We ain't ready in their mind.
12:12While next week, we show y'all that we are ready.
12:15Sunglasses back on.
12:18Let's go.
12:18Yeah, y'all about to find out real quick.
12:20Peace.
12:20Don't do that anymore.
12:21Good talk.
12:22Yeah, cake rocks, Jackass.
12:24I think that went well, boys.
12:25I guess.
12:25I guess it felt weird.
12:27It felt really weird.
12:28You're telling me, you can't have a number in my bag.
12:29You're telling me, you can't have a number in my bag.
13:06I have not been able to sleep since that creepy psychic lady.
13:11I need to know you're here.
13:13You know I need my 13 hours.
13:17Yeah, there's honestly not enough Palo Santo in the world to cleanse them.
13:22It's insane.
13:24Insane.
13:24What the?
13:26Who?
13:28Look, we just have to be really nice and really kind and do the opposite of everything that we usually
13:36do.
13:38And we'll be fine.
13:39We can change.
13:41Yes, we'll be fine.
13:42Yeah, I know.
13:44Hello, ladies.
13:46Hi.
13:47Hi.
13:50I love your love fur.
13:54It is barely polyester, so thank you, girl.
13:58I'm sorry.
13:59Was that a compliment?
14:00I wouldn't go that far.
14:02Um, yeah.
14:05Duh.
14:06Look, ladies, I think that we have all got off on the wrong high heel.
14:11And since we have hearts of gold, and we can suffer through it, maybe let's put the past behind us?
14:23Hmm, sure.
14:25Oh, okay.
14:27Okay.
14:28All right.
14:29Well, we were actually getting ready to film this new TikTok.
14:33So, since we're putting the past behind us, y'all want to collab with us?
14:38Yeah.
14:39Yeah.
14:40Okay, okay.
14:41Of course.
14:42Yeah.
14:42We'll show you.
14:43Well, yes, we're going to teach you.
14:44Keep up.
14:45Okay.
14:45All right.
14:46Five, six, seven, eight.
14:48Front, front, back, back, inside, inside.
14:52You got it?
14:53I think so.
14:54All right.
14:55All right.
14:55All right.
14:56Let's go.
14:56Five, six, seven, eight.
14:58Front, front, back, back, inside, inside.
15:02There you go.
15:03Let's go, let's go, man.
15:05Well, it's good to see that the art of dance is bringing people together.
15:09Well, I'm not so sure about that.
15:11Okay.
15:11You know what?
15:12Moving on.
15:15The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
15:18Introducing first, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, wing in at 270 pounds, Drake Moreau.
15:27Peter, I know he's doing the Bayou Boogie, but I don't even want you to attempt to try it.
15:31I know your meniscus is still bothering you, so don't even attempt to dance at the commentator's table.
15:36Please, just, I don't want you to get further in.
15:38I appreciate you protecting my injured meniscus.
15:41Drake Moreau, man, it's not just a color scheme.
15:44It's not just the beads on his Tron.
15:47This guy lives the life.
15:49I mean, go on his Instagram.
15:50He's hanging out and wrestling with alligators.
15:53He's barbecuing up delicious meat.
15:55He's a top chef.
15:56This guy really, really lives that Bayou life.
16:13And his opponent, from Akron, Ohio, weighing in at 285 pounds, Sam Holloway.
16:26Sam Holloway.
16:28No other way to say this.
16:29I got to be raw with you here, Stone.
16:32He's a mean SOB.
16:34And a bad man in the ring.
16:36Yeah, he absolutely is.
16:37And we saw him return in the WWE ID vs. Team PC Gauntlet match a few weeks ago.
16:44And he made a big return by eliminating Keanu Carver in that thing.
16:48It was a huge moment for Team ID at the time.
16:51Of course, not enough to get it done.
16:53But that was a huge pinfall.
16:55And if you've never seen Sam Holloway, man, he is big, he is strong, but he is athletic and agile
17:01as well.
17:02Yeah, well, so is Drake Barone.
17:03That's why this is going to be such an interesting bout.
17:06ID vs. PC.
17:07I mean, this is what Evolve brings on a Wednesday night on 2B.
17:11And, hey, it's Sam's first one-on-one back here in a while.
17:14Let's see if he can get a nice, fresh start and get a win.
17:16You know he wants that.
17:17I'll tell you what.
17:19Team PC and ID having a nice matchup here.
17:23Two great athletes without the same level of hatred, maybe, between each other.
17:28Absolute sportsmanship here.
17:29You saw after Drake got his first win, Team PC tried to get him to join their crew.
17:34And he declared he wants to do his own thing.
17:36He's all about competition, and so is Sam.
17:39Absolutely right.
17:42And you see the power there as Moreau takes down Holloway,
17:46who I think looks like he's in the best shape that he's ever been in.
17:50And there's the agility I was speaking about.
17:52Are you kidding me?
17:53Both of these guys so agile for their size.
17:57The drop kick from Moreau.
17:59Gravity clearly didn't get the memo about Drake's size.
18:02That was impressive.
18:06Into the corner.
18:08So far, it's all Drake Moreau early on.
18:11The ring is shaking.
18:13Over 500 pounds combined weight, these two.
18:19And there you see Moreau.
18:21A pinfall and a kick out at two for Holloway.
18:26When a man that size leaves his feet like that, the laws of physics tap out, let me tell you.
18:32Have you ever gone down to the bayou, done some, like, fishing?
18:35No, I don't do the bayou.
18:37I told you.
18:37I'm not about the hunting and the fishing.
18:39I'm about the mani and pedis.
18:42Another leapfrog.
18:44Oh!
18:45Boot from Sam Holloway gets him back up in this matchup.
18:48A boot that just took Drake Moreau off his feet.
18:52Let's take a look back real quick at that power.
18:55Right off the boot of Sam Holloway.
18:58To the chin, ring of the bell of Drake Moreau.
19:01And now Sam Holloway has taken some control early on.
19:04He was struggling to find his footing.
19:06But now Drake Moreau, the one in pain after that chop from Sam Holloway.
19:12You see Sam Holloway now in control with those massive chops that are echoing.
19:18But Moreau fires right back with offense of his own.
19:21Both of these powerhouses are unloading high-impact offense.
19:25Each trying to seize the advantage in what has been a hard-hitting back-and-forth battle so far.
19:32In a match like this with prospects this size, you've got to wonder,
19:35what's it going to take to gain the advantage and finally put this one away?
19:39And this is where all those hours of training come into play, Peter.
19:43Big offense from Sam Holloway.
19:45Holloway living up to his name and doing things the hard way.
19:49Especially in the case of Drake Moreau.
19:52Holloway into the cover.
19:55It's going to take a lot more than that to put away the Bayou Boy from Louisiana.
20:00Holloway may be in the driver's seat right now.
20:03But knowing Drake, this thing is still anyone's game.
20:10Can Sam Holloway take advantage of the momentum?
20:14Back elbow.
20:15Gets Moreau a second to breathe.
20:17Sam Holloway over the top.
20:20And now going to the floor.
20:23The boot takes Holloway down to the floor.
20:29How will Moreau take advantage?
20:32Both of these guys would benefit from a win right here.
20:37As we mentioned earlier, a different sort of PCID matchup.
20:42Mutual respect between these two.
20:44With good reason.
20:48And now Sam caught him.
20:50Getting back to the room.
20:51What's he thinking?
20:52He just took his head off with that clothesline.
20:54It's like half clothesline, half just right hand.
20:57We've seen this before.
20:59Oh!
21:01That springboard elbow.
21:03Could it be enough to take out Moreau?
21:05It's not.
21:08Both of these guys are putting everything into this match.
21:12They know how important a win is to advance and evolve.
21:16They're both tired.
21:17They're both fatigued.
21:18But they're not going to stop.
21:20Oh!
21:21No one home for Sam Holloway.
21:23This is a big opening for Moreau.
21:25You can see that he understands it.
21:28As he finds his way to his feet.
21:31Watch out!
21:33And the Iron Mountain caught him with a spinning boot.
21:39That Bayou soul of Drake Moreau.
21:42Is it enough to finish Sam Holloway?
21:46Holloway's lost at the moment, Stone.
21:48Drake had an impressive debut.
21:49He wants to make it too.
21:51Oof!
21:53Right hands being exchanged by these two big men.
21:56Heavy blows back and forth.
22:00Oof!
22:02Oof!
22:03Chops and elbows.
22:05And European uppercuts.
22:06They're throwing everything at each other.
22:08Oof!
22:11And there's that agility again.
22:12Drake's out the ring.
22:14Tell me the last time you saw a man of Sam Holloway's size who gets up like that on a
22:18dropkick.
22:19Only the last time I saw Sam Holloway and Drake earlier in the match, of course.
22:22Both of these guys are impressive.
22:24But wait.
22:26Wait, Peter.
22:27No, don't do it.
22:28No, Sam.
22:30Sam's looking to fly.
22:31He's coming over the top.
22:33That's a big man.
22:35That is a big man flying over the top rope.
22:39More than a big man.
22:40He's 6'8'' and 265 pounds.
22:42High flying action right in front of us.
22:45I love being here on a Wednesday night.
22:47Take it in, Evolve.
22:49Now, can he get him back in the ring and finish this thing?
22:52Let's see what Sam's going to do.
22:54Looks like he wants to fly again.
22:56To the top he goes.
22:57No one home.
23:02He caught him with it.
23:04Are you all right, Stone?
23:06Watch out.
23:09A second.
23:17Here is your winner, Drake Moreau.
23:24Drake Moreau with a very, very impressive performance.
23:30Sam Holloway had some momentum.
23:34But Moreau kept fighting.
23:36And, wow.
23:38I thought you actually lost your mind there towards the end of that match, Stone.
23:41I've never seen that kind of excitement from you.
23:43Take us through what happened in that matchup.
23:45All right, well, Peter, this one clearly was a battle.
23:48This one was a fight.
23:50Two massive individuals fighting to prove they are on the path to stardom here on Evolve.
23:55Holloway used his incredible aerial offense to take down Drake on the outside.
24:00But it was the Bayou Boy who turned the tides and used all of his LFG experience to continue his
24:06winning streak with an impressive victory here tonight.
24:09And I think we're going to hear from the winner, Drake Moreau.
24:12Let's send it over to Chewy Martinez.
24:14Make some noise for Drake, y'all.
24:21I like that.
24:23I like that.
24:24Come on, baby.
24:25What do we got?
24:25Drake, you stacking up the wins, my friend.
24:27I know the Bayou is real proud of you, brother.
24:29And with momentum comes opportunities.
24:32Like, I know the Team PC is really interested in you.
24:35What's up with that, brother?
24:37Man, Team PC.
24:39I don't really know about these dudes.
24:41All I can say is they don't represent the whole Performance Center.
24:46But you won't talk about the Bayou.
24:49Absolutely.
24:49Let's go.
24:51Let me tell you.
24:52Here's the plan.
24:53I'm going to get myself in the title contention.
24:56I'm going to come get that WWE Men's Evolve Championship.
25:00And I'm going to bring it all back to Baton Rouge.
25:03In Louisiana, go see the biggest crawfish bug party I've ever seen in the whole wide world, baby.
25:09All right.
25:10All right.
25:11I want in on that, baby.
25:13We got Dante Chen versus True London coming up, baby.
25:16Thank you, Jimmy.
25:46Let's go, man.
25:46Kendall Gray versus Carmen Petrovic for the Evolve Women's Championship next Wednesday on Evolve.
25:52But before that, tonight marks the return of the Evolve face-off.
25:57Fireworks are guaranteed when Kendall Gray and Carmen Petrovic come face-to-face tonight on Evolve.
26:09Evolve!
26:12Evolve!
26:14Evolve!
26:16Evolve!
26:37Evolve!
26:38Oh, Miss Spock.
26:41We got a legacy.
26:42Super key.
26:45What's up?
26:47Yo, yo, yo.
26:48What's up?
26:49Hey, hey, hey, ho. What's y'all doing in here?
26:52We can throw hands right now. Right now, baby.
26:54Hey, yo, relax, big man. We're not here for that right now.
26:56We're here to help Sean clean. That's right.
26:58Yeah, this is what solidarity looks like.
27:00We're in this together.
27:03Hey, no, that's solidarity.
27:04Let's get it.
27:04Yeah.
27:06I need some cleaning anyways.
27:08Some nice jacket to clean, eh?
27:11Yeah, I gotta look good when I do it.
27:12Fine. Just make sure it's super clean
27:14for my victory party.
27:16Yeah, super, right? Get that champagne ready.
27:18Oh, yeah. Come on, baby.
27:21These guys are just giving me the egg B in here, yo.
27:23Come on, man. Enough of these distractions.
27:24Let's go get cam ready.
27:26Yeah, go do that. I got bottom in the crew.
27:27Let's be gone. All right, I'm gonna get this one.
27:30Hey, main man's got the broom.
27:32Good luck, man. Let's go.
27:34Dummies, dummies, dummies.
27:36You guys look more at home cleaning
27:38than you do at the ring.
27:40I love it.
27:42You know, I've had enough.
27:44I don't know where you get off thinking
27:46you're so much better than us.
27:48You know, you're like the most egotistical,
27:50selfish, self-centered asshole
27:53in this whole program.
27:54You could be here right now helping us.
27:57But no, right?
27:58You're just above that. It's gone.
28:00It's just above that, right?
28:01You think I look good cleaning trash?
28:04Oh, yeah. How about I take out this piece of orange trash
28:06next week?
28:08You like that call? Does that work for you?
28:10I bet it does.
28:12So we're gonna be here helping Sean clean this up before the main event.
28:16How about you do us a favor and get out?
28:19Nice. It's gone.
28:22Dummy.
28:25All right, we got this guy.
28:28Good for the rest of Team ID.
28:29All United was Super Sean Legacy against Team PC.
28:32Well, except for It's Gal, of course.
28:35And Peter, if you just saw that, I gotta say,
28:36you know that the deadlift king
28:38shouldn't have to scrub a thing.
28:40He's not helping clean that locker room. You know that.
28:42Why should It's Gal be above anything?
28:44It's It's Gal.
28:48The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
28:52Introducing first, from Singapore,
28:54winging at 227 pounds, Dante Chen.
29:01Dante Chen, a superstar who Robert Stone always seems to have
29:06something negative to say.
29:08Yeah, the three Ps, passion, precision, and perseverance.
29:10He's just forgetting one P. Pathetic.
29:13See? See? See? See?
29:13I kid. I kid. See?
29:14I kid. I'm kidding.
29:16But the reality is that we all know.
29:18Oh, come on. Don't do it. Please.
29:20Yes! This is a great entry.
29:21There it is!
29:22Really, Peter? You almost hit me in the face with your head.
29:24I feel it.
29:25He needs an edge.
29:27And that's just, that's reality.
29:29Dante Chen needs some change.
29:31He needs an edge.
29:33Here is a guy who has been impressing me
29:35since we first saw him.
29:38If you have not gotten a look at Trill London,
29:40you are in for a treat tonight.
29:44And his opponent,
29:45from the Anchors New York,
29:47winging at 211 pounds,
29:50Trill London!
29:52For the past few weeks,
29:53we've gotten to know,
29:54the WWE Universe has gotten to know Trill, Peter.
29:57And he ain't keeping it real with you,
29:59he's keeping it Trill with you.
30:01Oh, yeah.
30:02There we go.
30:03I said that.
30:04Are you familiar with the work of UGK?
30:07No UGK for me.
30:08You don't know the Underground Kings, huh?
30:09No Underground Kings for Robert Stone.
30:11It's the origin of Trill.
30:13Don't worry about it.
30:13But Trill London, of course,
30:14great athlete,
30:16former football player,
30:17huge fan of WWE.
30:21And you know,
30:21he sees the world through a different lens.
30:23Let me tell you something.
30:24He said that when he was in football,
30:26he could see plays before they happen in his head.
30:29And that's what got him to the NFL.
30:30If he could do that in wrestling,
30:32he's going to go on to do very big things here in WWE.
30:35Very well said.
30:37But you got to remember something.
30:38Dante Chen has more experience than a Trill London.
30:42So this is going to be a test for Trill to keep up with him.
30:45Trill recently said,
30:47I saw him say that,
30:48the first PLE that ever really got him into WWE
30:52was Judgment Day 2007.
30:55As you see, Dante Chen taking it to Trill early on.
30:59Like I said,
31:00there's going to be a real test right now.
31:02They're feeling each other out.
31:04And Trill London,
31:04yeah, he's tough.
31:05He's durable.
31:06And you know he wants to come straight ahead
31:07and take it right to Dante.
31:09But Dante has a clear edge and experience.
31:12But don't forget what's at stake here.
31:13All right.
31:14Dante's coming off that loss to Drake Moreau a few weeks ago.
31:16And another setback tonight would not sit well with him at all.
31:21Oh!
31:23Oh!
31:24Oh, Trill!
31:24Dante Chen now,
31:26looking to take some offense to Trill London,
31:28who really,
31:28it's just so effortless,
31:30the athleticism of Trill London.
31:32Yeah, but again,
31:33Dante's just one step ahead,
31:35out wrestling him here in this situation.
31:40You talked about Dante Chen's need for an edge.
31:43I think he's shown it to us on occasion.
31:46I think he has the ability.
31:48He still needs to push through a little bit more.
31:49Wow, that was impressive.
31:50So, so athletic, man.
31:52But, but do you see that?
31:53What happened?
31:54It looked like his knee gave out a little bit.
31:57Well, that is the danger of all the high flying stuff from Trill London.
32:02Caught him with a deep arm drag there.
32:04I mean, that was impressive from Trill,
32:06but he needs to keep it up.
32:07He needs to keep that momentum on his side.
32:11Trill London, of course,
32:13used that athleticism in the NFL as a safety
32:16with the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins.
32:19I mean, we know he's an abstract alpha.
32:21He's a fearless flyer.
32:22He's a super athlete.
32:24But can he figure it out in the ring?
32:26I really believe there's a high ceiling for this guy.
32:29Dante was one step ahead.
32:30He sure was.
32:31That's the experience.
32:32I was going to say the exact same thing.
32:34And Trill London is incredibly talented,
32:37but he does not have the experience of a Dante Chen.
32:40He, he is still trying to find his way here on Evolve.
32:44And Chen, slam.
32:46Put a little something extra on that one.
32:49Elbow.
32:49See, this is what I'm talking about.
32:51This is...
32:53Kick out there at two.
32:55This seems like a little, I don't know,
32:57Dante might've got ticked off by Trill trying to out-wrestle him.
33:00I mean, this is something different in his eyes right now.
33:02And I'm here for it.
33:04Well, you just talked about that, that edge,
33:07the next level, the next gear, if you will.
33:09And man, I'm a little worried about Trill here,
33:12who's really in a bad way.
33:13I mean, oof!
33:15Just getting tossed around by Dante Chen.
33:17Well, maybe Dante Chen has finally realized that, you know,
33:21a complete nice guy's finish legs.
33:22I mean, I know he's going to be a nice guy.
33:24But when the bell rings, you've got to do what you've got to do.
33:27Trill sends Dante into the corner.
33:29Dante fights out with a kick.
33:30Wait a minute.
33:30What's he thinking?
33:32Come on, Trill!
33:33Oh!
33:34Wow!
33:35A running belly-to-back suplex.
33:37That was interesting.
33:38That could be it.
33:40And Trill keeps on fighting.
33:42But there is...
33:44Something has been zapped from Trill London.
33:47And as you pointed out, something is in the eyes of Dante Chen.
33:50There's two competitors in this one match,
33:52and they both want a game-changing break.
33:54Trill is new.
33:55Of course, he wants a break.
33:56Dante, he's been waiting for that break for a long time.
33:59Absolutely.
33:59And I think a loss for Dante Chen to a youngster like Trill
34:03would be problematic for his aspirations
34:06of getting in the championship picture.
34:08Well, there's one thing that's for certain.
34:09Trill has not given up.
34:11He is still trying to fight with everything he has,
34:13every chance he gets.
34:15Oh!
34:16He's going for a second.
34:17Belly-to-back.
34:18Trill able to land on his feet.
34:21Dante trying again.
34:22Oh, a roll-through!
34:23And they're into a pin!
34:24And a kick-out at two for Dante Chen.
34:27Two and seven-eighths.
34:28Oh, man.
34:29Trill would have loved to have stolen this thing
34:31and gotten out of dodge.
34:33Come on, Dante!
34:34But not so fast.
34:36Dante misses with the kick.
34:37Watch out!
34:38And that's what Trill does.
34:40That's what he does best.
34:40He's a flyer.
34:41He's a risk-taker.
34:43That was a big risk and it paid off.
34:45Absolutely.
34:46Just caught enough of Dante Chen.
34:47He's going back up top again, it seems.
34:50His life is like a movie,
34:52and clearly so is his wrestling matches.
34:55Whoa!
34:57Dante rolled out of the way.
34:58Wasn't able to catch him with that.
34:59Did you see that?
35:00The speed on the way down from Trill?
35:02I don't know if I've ever seen that.
35:05Watch out!
35:06More from Trill London.
35:07Into a pin!
35:08And a kick-out from Chen.
35:10Again, near fall.
35:14And still showing that fight.
35:16Absolutely.
35:17You can tell he's running low on gas,
35:19but Trill London is fighting!
35:20But that kick right under the chin
35:24may be too much for Trill London to respond to.
35:30And Dante looks angry.
35:32Look at the face on Dante.
35:34Trill just crawling up his body.
35:36Like I said, I mean, he's not surrendering.
35:38He's still in this thing.
35:41Oh!
35:43He was still in this thing, Stone.
35:45Oh!
35:47Okay, Dante!
35:49And now Dante's leveling up.
35:50You know what he's looking for.
35:53Chen's a touch!
35:56Trill London with a great effort,
35:57but Dante Chen secures the knee.
36:01Here is your winner, Dante Chen!
36:07Dante Chen turned it on late
36:12and brought it to Trill London.
36:16Take us through it, Stone.
36:18Two fan favorites going on in this one.
36:20Trill London had his moments,
36:22but the man with the gentle touch
36:24used his massive experience difference
36:26over Trill to score a much-needed victory.
36:32Big win for Dante Chen,
36:34who now I'm sure has his sights set on Moore,
36:38but after a very aggressive performance,
36:43oh, he extends the hand
36:45and shows respect to young Trill London.
36:47You love to see that, Stone.
36:49Yeah, I mean, there goes the edge.
36:50But that's what I love.
36:51He brought the edge in the match
36:53but still can have the respect afterward.
37:01Now let's toss it backstage
37:03to our two competitors,
37:04both determined to prove
37:05they're at the top of the women's brand
37:07here on Evolve.
37:08Kendall Gray and Carmen Petrovic
37:09coming together in the Evolve face-off.
37:12Let's get to it.
37:19Look, Carmen, I don't want this to be a whole thing.
37:21I mean, we've been cool with each other.
37:23You've done your thing.
37:24I've done my thing.
37:25On NXT and on Evolve.
37:27But now you're coming after my title
37:29and when my title's on the line,
37:31I don't care who you are
37:32or what your background is.
37:34And when you walk into the gray area,
37:36you don't walk out the same.
37:37And you're definitely not walking out with my title.
37:42Kendall,
37:43I've watched you go from quiet underdog
37:45to confident champion.
37:46And although I love that for you,
37:48I feel like you're looking past me,
37:50which is ironic considering
37:51people used to look past you too.
37:54But I want you to keep looking past me
37:55because I see that you've got a lot going on here
37:58and in NXT,
37:59which is exactly where I'm going to come in.
38:02I've been building momentum
38:03and I've got a lot of victories under my belt,
38:05which is now why I got the time to take that title.
38:09You can keep underestimating me all you want,
38:12but that championship is mine.
38:17Look, Carmen, I'm not underestimating you.
38:19I mean, I know this is going to be one hell of a battle,
38:22but just know that I walk into every single match
38:24knowing that I'm going to walk out victorious.
38:27Look, you've had some pretty big wins,
38:28and I'll give you that.
38:29And that's exactly why we're sitting here right now.
38:32Just know that I'm going to walk in as champion
38:34and walk out as champion.
38:41This is Lucha Libre AAA.

39:17And now we have some major breaking news for you.
39:19In just three Wednesdays from now,
39:21we'll have a special episode.
39:23The season finale of WWE Evolve.
39:26It all goes down on Wednesday, February 25th.
39:29But Peter, that's not all.
39:31Evolve's second season kicks off with another massive special event.
39:35Following last October's groundbreaking first ever Evolve special.
39:39WWE Succession.
39:41Get ready for this.
39:42On Wednesday, March 4th.
39:44WWE Evolve returns with Succession number two.
39:49And just like last October,
39:50both the women's and men's Evolve championships will be defended on the same night.
39:55I can't wait for Succession two.
39:58Evolve fam, how you doing?
40:00Chewy Martinez here with the amazing Callie Armstrong,
40:03who's had some losses recently.
40:06And I feel like you have something to say to the people.
40:09What's on your mind? What's up?
40:12Honestly, Chewy, man,
40:14I'm disappointed in myself.
40:16I'm not used to racking up losses like this.
40:19I mean, I'm too strong Armstrong.
40:21I'm the difference maker.
40:24Chicks like Carmen,
40:25I don't let them get to me.
40:27But I gotta get that dog back in me.
40:30That dog that got me to USC.
40:32That dog that had me running circles around these chicks on my way to becoming an Evolve Women's Champion.
40:39I mean, maybe...
40:42Maybe I need to go back home for a minute.
40:44Until I can remember who I am and where I came from.
40:51There you have it. Back to you guys.
40:54Powerful words from Callie Armstrong.
40:55I cannot wait to see what's next for Callie.
41:00It is main event time.
41:03What we saw right there, Callie Armstrong clearly is trying to get back on track.
41:09And Cam Hendricks is trying to become the Evolve Champion, Peter.
41:14Exactly right.
41:15Where Callie Armstrong wants to go.
41:17That's where Cam Hendricks finds himself.
41:20Right now.
41:24He earned this title match in the ID versus PC gauntlet match a while back.
41:31And then, of course, last week, Team PC had control of the show.
41:37And Cam Hendricks made a three-on-one handicap match against the champ, Jackson Drake, that included these two.
41:45Riggins and Presley and also Keanu Carver.
41:47And in the end, Cam Hendricks injected himself into the match.
41:51And, of course, scored the pit.
41:53Stone, I'll let you do the honors.
41:55I mean, Peter, the music's back, which means the party's here.
41:59The champion is here.
42:01Swipe Right is here.
42:02The Vanity Project's here.
42:04And he is feeling it.
42:05Listen, I'm going to be honest with you.
42:06After the beating that he took last week, who knows if he actually is 100%, no matter how he looks.
42:14But the reality is he is here and he is ready to defend his championship.
42:19Listen, I'm throwing the Vs up today.
42:21That's where I'm at today, Stone.
42:23I'm throwing the Vs up today.
42:25I'm loving it.
42:27I'm sorry.
42:28I cannot live in a world where we have to deal with Cam Hendricks being the Evolve champion.
42:36So, Baylor, folks, to your point, right?
42:40I'm with them today.
42:41Remember, Vanity Project talked to the ID prospects earlier today.
42:45And they asked to have their back for this match.
42:47And they actually agreed to do it for the same reason.
42:50The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the WWE Evolve Championship.
43:01Introducing first, the challenger from Sacramento, California.
43:07Weigh in at 257 pounds, Cam Hendricks.
43:14Yeah, buddy.
43:15I don't know if they're feeling you here, bud.
43:18And his opponent.
43:20From Greensboro, North Carolina.
43:23Weigh in at 188 pounds.
43:27Representing the Vanity Project.
43:29He is the WWE Evolve Champion, Jackson Drake.
43:41You make such a great point, Stone.
43:43What an interesting night it is.
43:45When the other members of the ID program are willing to support the Vanity Project.
43:50And I'm sitting here finding myself rooting for the Vanity Project.
43:54I really think it speaks to what Cam Hendricks and Team PC have done here over the last few weeks
44:02on Evolve.
44:03Well, if you ask me, everyone at all times should have always liked the Vanity Project.
44:06But nonetheless, here we are.
44:08This is the situation at hand.
44:10And Jackson Drake, he's been champion now for 245 games.
44:14He wants to keep that.
44:15He wants to make it to a year.
44:17And hey, Succession 2 was just announced.
44:19It's going to be in four weeks on March 4th.
44:21And both of these guys clearly want to be the champion on that night.
44:25No question about it.
44:27Jackson Drake and Kendall Gray have recently been, like you said, for a while now, the faces of WWE Evolve.
44:35And speaking of face, look at Cam Hendricks in the face of Jackson Drake.
44:39But he's not going to take that lightly.
44:41Look, I think Cam is a talented guy.
44:43I think he's got a great future in the WWE.
44:45But now that Team PC is not in control of the show, getting in the champ's face like that,
44:50and I don't know if that's the smartest thing to do.
44:55Jackson Drake.
44:56Oh!
44:59Looking better than ever physically.
45:01I think we've seen a bit of an evolution physically from Drake since he won the title.
45:05Both of these guys are.
45:06Both of these guys are in tip-top shape.
45:08That's why this championship match, so many people are looking.
45:10It's been buzzing all week.
45:12Everyone's been talking about this match.
45:14All eyes are on this.
45:16What's up with Cam Hendricks' Spider-Man gloves?
45:18Are you strong?
45:18Are you strong?
45:19Are you strong?
45:20Are you strong?
45:20It's a fang.
45:22I don't know what that means.
45:24But, oh.
45:26No test of strength.
45:27Jackson Drake.
45:30Still very vanity project in his approach to everything.
45:33If Cam wins this match, Evolve will not be the same.
45:36Oh, look at that.
45:37Oh.
45:37But I gotta tell you.
45:38Oh, there you go.
45:39Okay.
45:41What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
45:44Swipe-right getting involved.
45:45riggins and chresley getting involved and the kick from cam hendricks to the head of the champ
45:49jackson drake taking a breather hold on now we could have chaos here at ringside referee
45:56joey gonzalez got to get some control of this thing this is a complete reversal of fortune
46:04we've seen this happen to swipe right for riggins and chresley wait they're also banned from ringside
46:13swipe right riggins and presley banned from ringside our championship match continues next
46:23this is nxt on the cw ground zero for greatness the future walks through that curtain no fear
46:33no shortcuts nothing but hunger it's a new era it's a new time who's gonna step up
46:43oh here we go the grind is real the spotlight is earned art hustle history in the making to make
46:53history you got to do what you got to do oh my lord nxt doesn't crown champions it creates them
47:05the next generation starts here this is just beginning live live on the rise
47:16nxt all new this tuesday at 8 7 central on the cw
47:24welcome back to our main event on evolve the man you see with those big right hands to our champion
47:31jackson drake is cam hendrix who earned himself this title match a few weeks back and he's gonna
47:36pin the champion and drake kicks out at two just before break swipe right and riggins and presley
47:43both banned from ringside so we have ourselves stone a straight up one-on-one championship match yeah and
47:50like i was saying before the break to you if cam wins this evolve is not going to be the
47:53same if the
47:53team pc if they have that championship in their possession they're going to want to take evolve in a
47:58new direction evolves out of crossroads and the winner determines what road is next can you imagine
48:03if cam hendrix has the evolve championship at succession two coming up in early march well you
48:08think back to the og evolve it was built on individuals putting in the work the grind to get
48:13opportunities similar to what the id program is and cam and the pc they want to close that chapter
48:21you're absolutely right and jackson drake for for all the times i've pointed out
48:26some of the shortcomings i would say of the way vanity project chooses to conduct themselves
48:30he's been a fighting champion he's beaten everyone who's come his way and he's been very impressive
48:35the entire time and he just caught cam with an inziguri the athleticism of the carolina reaper
48:42followed by a shot to the back and here we go of course jackson drake's best friend javon evans now
48:50a
48:50part of the raw roster you know that has to motivate jackson drake to go even further
48:56kicks to the chest of the challenger who's seething
49:02getting slapped in the face by the champ he's had enough he's slapping jackson drake right back
49:06but drake landing on his feet
49:13is there a weakness in jackson drake's game stone there is none jackson drake has been in every
49:18situation i mean you got to remember he has title defense wins over keanu carver sean legacy
49:23but oh man they're in a dangerous place right now yeah up on the second rope those elbows to the
49:30back of the head
49:32of cam hendricks drake trying to get him off the second rope but man there's a lot of impact
49:38in each of those right hands from hey he's still he's still trying he's still got cam
49:45oh look at the strength there from jackson drake but it's reversed by hendricks and then back by drake
49:52watch out german suplex would that german be enough to kick out at two from cam
49:57the wwe id prospects the pc talent they're the same but different it's like marvel and dc
50:04they're just never gonna like each other that is what it is and this match there's so much on the
50:10line on this match so many eyes on this match it's evolved it's wednesday night it's to be come on
50:17i have been waiting for this one hoping to see cam hendricks catches comeuppance but right now
50:24he catches jackson drake with the right hand to the gut and one to the head let's not forget this
50:28is cam hendricks first one-on-one match in evolve and it's a championship opportunity what an incredibly
50:34rare situation where a debut match is a title shot as you see wait a minute oh he just
50:42he didn't mean to but he just took out joey gonzalez yeah hendricks took out our referee

53:28here stone where can we even begin well this was a very much anticipated evolve championship match and
53:34lived up to the hype both team pc and the vanity project they did get injected early on as the
53:40challenger and champion were able to display their abilities before absolute chaos ensued referee joey
