Transcript
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
00:45Championship against Team PC's Cam Hendricks.
00:49What are you putting up now?
00:50I'm putting like 405, 505 reps.
00:53505 reps.
00:54Why? Stop the cap, bro. He did not do that.
00:57You saw it.
00:57I've seen him do it.
00:58Why are you lying for him?
01:00Hey, 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.
01:15Hell yeah.
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 we sit his goofy ass now, bro?
01:26What's up, bro?
01:27Hey, how you doing, man?
01:29Hey, where you been?
01:30Hey, it's been messing here right now, dude.
01:31Yeah, yeah, 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?
01:45He's got to clean all this up.
01:46Yeah, where is that guy?
01:47Where is that guy?
01:48Whatever, though.
01:49Cam, how you feeling, man?
01:50All I'm going to say is I woke up feeling dangerous.
01:54Oh, I like that.
01:56He's stupid.
01:57Hey, what's up, man?
02:00What's up, baby?
02:01What's up, man?
02:01What's up?
02:02Hey, man.
02:04Come on.
02:04Super.
02:05Super.
02:07Super.
02:08Yeah, we got something for you.
02:12It's going to be super clean.
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, bro.
02:21All right.
02:22Don't forget that, though, bro.
02:24I'm going to playboy be super.
02:32I'm a G-Lot holly.
02:33I'm in the holly while I'm in college.
02:35And I'm in my body.
02:36I go sick quicker than whipping or rolling.
02:38I'm leaving my red light carry.
02:39Where are my Batman carrying, though?
02:41Ain't nobody eating, you know what it's full.
02:42No, key to key to I'm a blow.
02:48Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WWE Evolve on Tubi.
02:53Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone,
02:55ringside at the WWE Performance Center.
02:57And you see the energy of the newest official signee here on Evolve,
03:02Tyra Mae Steele, the gold medalist.
03:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
03:09Introducing first from Houston, Texas,
03:11Tyra Mae Steele.
03:16So excited to see Tyra Mae Steele.
03:18But let me tell you, Stone,
03:19I'm sickened to see what I just saw
03:21in the PC locker room with Super Sean Legacy.
03:23What about 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,
03:44Carly Wright.
03:47Well, Peter, you've got to remember,
03:49she ended her friendship with Kendall Gray a few months ago.
03:52I don't want to say end the friendship,
03:53but they basically said that she wanted to go her separate way from her
03:57so she wasn't in the shadow of everything Kendall is doing.
04:00She wanted to create her own path.
04:03And I don't blame her.
04:04She's the resident ray of sunshine,
04:05but she needs an edge.
04:06She needs something different.
04:08Will she bring that to this match?
04:10I hope so.
04:11Well, she better because Tyra Mae Steele,
04:14what 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,
04:25but 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,
04:32stretches 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.
04:36But would you even say, like,
04:37we've seen Tyra Mae Steele 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,
04:44and 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?
04:52By throwing your opponents like that.
04:55And you see the borderline obnoxious excitement there
04:58from Tyra Mae Steele,
05:00at least in the eyes of Carly Bright,
05:01who cannot like how that felt.
05:04She's confident.
05:05Let me tell you something.
05:06I hope Carly prepared for this
05:08and really knows she had to step up her game for this match.
05:11You are 100% correct.
05:13Yep.
05:16I belong, too!
05:18I'm sick of this!
05:20I mean, they ain't belong!
05:22I'm upset!
05:23I belong to her.
05:24Wouldn't you think, Stone,
05:25that 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 Mae Steele
05:36isn't a smart thing to do.
05:38Really, really well said.
05:39So what do you do, then,
05:39if you can't out-wrestle Tyra Mae Steele?
05:41You find a way to get out of one of her holds,
05:43and you use strikes.
05:44Maybe you have a submission that you can lock in
05:47in a different position.
05:49She's getting bent in half right now
05:51by Tyra Mae Steele.
05:52I told you she stretches bodies.
05:54And she really is.
05:55She is stretching Carly Bright as we speak.
05:59Did Carly submit?
06:00No, she's going to try to fight out, and she does.
06:03Oh, man.
06:05You said it.
06:05Maybe getting on the ground and wrestling up.
06:07And you look at Tyra Mae Steele.
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
06:18in WWE history.
06:19Female.
06:20Yes, that is true.
06:21That is an incredible statistic,
06:23incredible 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
06:33for the other women here on Evolve.
06:35And look, we're just kicking off Evolve with this match.
06:38Tonight, our main event,
06:39maybe one of the biggest matches in Evolve history
06:42because it could change the course of Evolve.
06:44Cam Hendricks, the challenger,
06:46getting a shot, a shot that he earned
06:47against 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
06:56a 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
07:03and get some momentum now for Carly Bright.
07:05Can she take advantage?
07:07Right back to work goes Tyra Mae Steele.
07:10That was a momentum killer.
07:11Or Carly Bright thought she had an opening
07:13and Tyra completely took it away.
07:15Yeah, caught her with that German suplex
07:16and now got her locked right back in where she wants her.
07:20This has been all Tyra Mae Steele.
07:22She has been dominant.
07:24What 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.
07:39Okay, Carly Bright probably went into this match
07:41different than I would have with Kurt.
07:44It could be pretty overwhelming against a prodigy like Tyra Mae.
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
07:53and Carly needs to figure out a plan.
07:57She needs to find a way to use the ropes
07:59to get to her feet first to mount some offense.
08:02Absolutely right.
08:03If you don't take advantage of this moment,
08:05if you're Carly Bright, you may not get another shot.
08:09Shot to the gut there of 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.
08:20Kick to the gut.
08:21Chop.
08:22Clothesline.
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
08:38where you'd try to take a pinfall.
08:41Carly's going to go up top instead.
08:43Will it be effective?
08:44Oh.
08:45Caught midair.
08:46Tyra's got power too.
08:48That might have been the mistake
08:50that cost Carly Bright the matchup.
08:53She was telling me about this move Mayday.
08:57Connecting.
08:58And a victory for Tyra Maysteel.
09:02Here is your winner,
09:04Tyra Maysteel.
09:07Tyra Maysteel 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,
09:16a 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
09:24where Evolve's Resident Ray of Sunshine
09:26did her best to go toe-to-toe
09:27with an Olympic gold medalist.
09:29Became ever so close to victory.
09:31But in the end, Tyra Maysteel made a statement
09:34showing she is on Evolve to stay,
09:37picking up an important victory
09:38over a very tough opponent.
09:43Absolutely right.
09:44An impressive victory from Tyra Maysteel.
09:46You see the energy.
09:47You see the excitement.
09:49Very impressive stuff there from Tyra Maysteel.
09:54Come on.
09:55I don't want this to go out.
09:56Yeah, dude, get up.
09:57Oh, wow.
09:58Really?
09:59Gentlemen.
09:59You invite us?
10:00Boys.
10:02Oh, God.
10:02We 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
10:09and maybe even a little more, like...
10:11Humble.
10:12Really?
10:13Yeah, thank you.
10:14I couldn't say it.
10:14Okay, guys, look.
10:16Long story short,
10:17Jackson'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, the vanity project...
10:22Or we...
10:24We collectively need to band together
10:26if we're going to take out Cam Hendricks
10:27and the rest of the PC crew.
10:29I wasn't done.
10:29No way, I don't care.
10:30No way you brought us in here for that.
10:34After the way y'all been treating us all year,
10:36y'all been talking crazy,
10:37treating us the way you have,
10:38now you're talking,
10:39we need to band together.
10:40No, you need to wake up.
10:41You know what, Cap?
10:42You know what?
10:43Honestly, Jackson,
10:44you as champion, like...
10:46You're good.
10:47You know, something great to look at, right?
10:49But the more I think about it,
10:50there's no way in hell
10:51we 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?
10:58You ain't lying.
10:59You ain't lying, Aaron.
10:59Look, look, look.
11:00Cam, I can't stand his arrogant ass.
11:03No!
11:03And Jax, Harley, Keanu, man,
11:05they unpredictable, bro.
11:07Guys!
11:08Cam, Keanu, and the PC athletes
11:10could be destructive.
11:11But you know what they don't have?
11:13That's what they don't have.
11:14Main man energy!
11:16But we should talk about this.
11:18Hold on.
11:19So you really think we should do this?
11:20Yeah, let's do it.
11:21Oh, yeah, guys.
11:22What's the face?
11:23We're in a rush.
11:24We're in a list.
11:25We can do this.
11:26Okay, let's do it.
11:27I'm in.
11:28Hey, you're not in a rush.
11:30We've conversed.
11:30We've talked it over.
11:31That's what converse means.
11:33And 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
11:45so you can call me whenever you want, champ.
11:49Let's go, Kat.
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.
11:58We're probably good on that.
11:59I think you're just a little too new.
12:00Sorry.
12:01What?
12:01What are you talking about?
12:02You guys are serious?
12:03Yeah.
12:04Yeah, no, we're good.
12:05Babe, I 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, kick rocks, Jackass.
12:24I think that went well, boys.
12:25I guess.
12:26I guess it felt weird.
12:27That felt really weird.
12:28You're telling me.
12:29You can't have a number in my bag.
12:30You 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?
13:28Look, we just have to be really nice and really kind and do the opposite of everything that
13:35we usually do.
13:38And we'll be fine.
13:39Yeah.
13:40We can change.
13:41We can change.
13:42Yeah, I know.
13:42I'm going to see what I'm going to do.
13:44Hello, ladies.
13:46Hi.
13:47Hi.
13:48Hi.
13:49Hi.
13:50I love your love.
13:53Fur.
13:54It is barely polyester, so there you go.
13:58I'm sorry.
13:59Was that a compliment?
14:00I wouldn't go that far.
14:03Um, 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
14:22behind us?
14:23Hmm.
14:24Sure.
14:25Oh.
14:26Okay.
14:27All right.
14:28Well, 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, okay.
14:41Of course, yeah.
14:42All right, we'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.
15:15All right.
15:15The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
15:18Introducing first, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, winging 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
15:31it.
15:31I know your meniscus is still bothering you, so don't even attempt to dance at the commentator's
15:36table.
15:36Please, just, I don't want you to get further.
15:38I appreciate you protecting my injured meniscus.
15:41Drake Moreau, man.
15:42It'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 beans.
15:55He's a top chef.
15:56This guy really, really lives that Bayou life.
16:07Come on.
16:12Come on.
16:14And his opponent, from Eckerd, Ohio, weighing in at 285 pounds, Sam Holloway.
16:26Sam Holloway.
16:27No other way to say this.
16:29I got to be raw with you here, Stone.
16:32He's a mean SOB and a bad man in the ring.
16:36Yeah, he absolutely is.
16:37And we saw him return in the WWE ID versus Team PC gauntlet match a few weeks ago.
16:43And 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 Moreau.
17:03And that's why this is going to be such an interesting bout.
17:06ID versus PC.
17:07I mean, this is what Evolve brings on a Wednesday night on Tubi.
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.
17:24Two 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, and he
17:35declined.
17:35He 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, who I think looks like he's in the best
17:48shape that he's ever been in.
17:50And there's the agility I was speaking about.
17:52Are you kidding me?
17:54Both of these guys, so agile for their size.
17:57The dropkick 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.
18:12The 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.
18:44Another 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.
18:57To 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.
19:25That's each 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.
19:46Living 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!
21:00That 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!
21:20No 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 two.
21:51Oof!
21:54Right hands being exchanged by these two pigments.
21:57Heavy blows back and forth.
22:00Oof!
22:03Chops and elbows.
22:05And European uppercuts.
22:06They're throwing everything at each other.
22:10And 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
22:17who gets up like that on a dropkick.
22:19Only the last time I saw Sam Holloway and Drake earlier in the match, of course.
22:23Both of these guys are impressive.
22:25But 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.
22:39That is more 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 taking 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.
23:00Oh!
23:02He caught him with it!
23:04Are you all right, Stone?
23:06Watch out!
23:09A second!
23:12One!
23:13One!
23:14Two!
23:15Three!
23:18Here is your winner, Drake Moreau!
23:24Drake Moreau with a very, very impressive performance.
23:30Sam Holloway had some momentum, but Moreau kept fighting.
23:37And, wow, I 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.
23:46All 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
24:03and used all of his LFG experience to continue his winning streak
24:07with an impressive victory here tonight.
24:10And 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!
24:18Two!
24:19Hey!
24:22I like that.
24:23I like that.
24:24Come on, man.
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.
24:30And with momentum comes opportunities.
24:33Like, 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.
24:44Okay.
24:45Okay.
24:46But you won't talk about the Bayou.
24:49Absolutely.
24:49Let's go.
24:51Well, let me tell you.
24:52Here's the plan.
24:53I'm going to get myself in the title contention.
24:56Okay.
24:56I'm going to come get that WWE Men's Evolved Championship.
25:00Okay.
25:01And I'm going to bring it all back to Baton Rouge.
25:03In Louisiana, go see the biggest, crumpish bird party you've ever seen in the whole our world, baby.
25:09All right.
25:10All right.
25:11I want in on that, baby.
25:13We got Dante Chan versus True London coming up, baby.
25:16Thank you, Jimmy.
25:21Our champion, Kendall Gray, has been on an absolutely iconic tear, making waves at NXT Gold Rush and New Year's
25:28Evil,
25:28becoming the Iron Survivor and proving time and time again why she's the boss lady
25:32of Evolve.
25:34Now, she accepts another daunting challenge in the form of Carmen Petrovich.
25:38Will the razor-sharp striking of Petrovich earn her first championship victory of her WWE career,
25:43or will the Ice Woman's epic reign continue?
25:46Kendall Gray versus Carmen Petrovich 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 Petrovich come face-to-face tonight.
26:02on Evolve.
26:32the game.

26:57That's right. Yeah, this is what solidarity looks like. We're in this together, okay, you know
27:03That's all right. They're good. Yeah, it's a nice jacket to clean
27:13Fine just make sure it's super clean for my victory party. Yeah, get that champagne ready
27:20These guys are just giving me the egg be in here. Yeah enough of these distractions. Let's go get camera
27:28They don't all right. I'm gonna get this man. It's got the broom
27:34Dummies dummies dummies. You guys look more at home cleaning than you do at the ring. I love it
27:42You know, I've had enough. I don't know where you get off thinking you're so much better than us
27:47You know, you're like the most
27:50Egotistical selfish self-centered asshole in this whole program
27:54You could be here right now helping us but no, right? You're just above that. It's gone
27:59It's just above that, right?
28:01You think I look good cleaning trash? Oh, yeah. How about I take out this piece of orange trash next
28:07week?
28:08You like that call? Does that work for you? I 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?
28:20It's gone, dummy
28:25Oh
28:26We got this guy
28:27Good for the rest of team ID all uniting with super Sean legacy against team PC. Well, except for it's
28:33go
28:33Of course a beer if you just saw that I gotta say you know that the deadlift king
28:38Shouldn't have to scrub a thing. He's not helping clean that locker room. You know that. Well, why should it's
28:43gone be above anything?
28:44Is it still?
28:48The following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first from singapore winging it 227 pounds
28:56Dante
28:58Dante
29:01Dante
29:02A superstar who roberstone always seems to have something
29:06Negative to say the three piece passion precision and perseverance is just forgetting one piece pathetic
29:12See I kid I kid I kid I'm kidding
29:16I'm kidding, but the reality is that we all know. Oh, come on. Don't do please. Yes
29:20This is a great edge right there. It is really Peter. You almost hit me in the face. I feel
29:24it
29:25He needs an edge and that's it. And that's just that's that's reality. Dante chen needs some change. He needs
29:31an edge
29:33Here is a guy who has been impressing me since we first saw him
29:38If you have not gotten a look at trail london you are in for a treat tonight
29:44And his opponent probably anchors new york wicking at 211 pounds trail
29:52For the past few weeks we've gotten to know the wwe universe has gotten to know trill peter
29:57And he ain't keeping it real with you. He's keeping it trail with. Oh, good for you
30:02There we go. I said that I had a little
30:04Are you familiar with the work of you gk? No, you gk for me. You don't know the underground kings,
30:09huh?
30:09No underground kings for robert stone
30:11It's the origin of trill don't worry about it a trail london of course great
30:15Athlete former football player huge fan of wwe
30:20And you know, he sees the world through a different lens and let me tell you something
30:24He said that when he was in football, he could see plays before they happen in his head
30:29And that's what got him to the nfl if he could do that in wrestling
30:32He's gonna go on to do very big things here in wwe
30:35very well said
30:37But you got to remember something dante chin has more experience than a trail london
30:42So this is going to be a test for trill to keep up with him
30:45Trill recently said I saw him say that the first
30:49P.L.E. that ever really got him into wwe was judgment day 2007
30:55As you see dante chen taking it to trail early on
30:59Like I said, there's going to be a real test right now. They're feeling each other out
31:03control london. Yeah, he's tough. He's durable
31:06And you know, he wants to come straight ahead and take it right to dante
31:09But dante has a clear edge and experience but don't forget what's at stake here
31:13All right dante's coming off that loss to drake moreau a few weeks ago and another setback tonight would not
31:18sit well with him at all
31:24Dante chen now looking to take some offense to trail london who really
31:29It's just so effortless the athleticism of trail london. Yeah, but again dante's just one step ahead out wrestling him
31:36here 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. I think he has the ability needs to push through a
31:48little bit more wow
31:49That was impressive. So so athletic man, but but do you see that what happened?
31:54It looked like his knee gave out a little bit
31:57Well, that is the danger of all the high stuff from trail london
32:02Caught him with a deep arm drag there. I mean that was impressive from true, but he needs to keep
32:07it up
32:07He needs to keep that momentum on his side
32:11Sure london of course used that athleticism in the nfl as a safety
32:16With the new orleans saints and miami dolphins. I mean we know he's an abstract alpha. He's a fearless flyer
32:22He's a super athlete, but can he figure it out in the ring?
32:27I really believe there's a high ceiling for this guy step ahead. He sure was that's the experience
32:32I was going to say the exact same thing and and trail london is incredibly talented
32:38But he does not have the experience of a dante chen
32:40He he is still trying to find his way here on evolve and chen slam put a little something extra
32:47on that one
32:49Elbow see this is what i'm talking about. This is
32:53Kick out there at two this seems like a little uh, I don't know dante might have got ticked off
32:58by trill trying to outwrestle him
33:00I mean this it's something different in his eyes right now, and I i'm here for it
33:04Well, you just talked about that that edge the next level the next gear if you will and man
33:10I'm a little worried about trail here who's really in a bad way. I mean oof
33:14Just getting tossed around by dante chen. Well, maybe dante chen has finally realized that you know, uh complete nice
33:21guys finish last
33:22I mean, I know he's gonna be a nice guy, but when the bell rings you got to do what
33:26you got to do
33:27Trill sends dante into the corner dante fights out with a kick wait a minute. What's he thinking?
33:33Oh, wow
33:35A running belly to back suplex that was interesting. That could be it
33:39And trill keeps on fight
33:42But there is
33:44Something has been zapped from trail london
33:47And as you pointed out something is in the eyes of dante chen. There's two competitors in this
33:51It's one match and they both want a game-changing break. Trill is new. Of course. He wants a break
33:56dante
33:57He's been waiting for that break for a long time. Absolutely, and I think a a loss for dante chen
34:02to a youngster like trill would be problematic for his
34:06Aspirations of getting in the championship picture. Well, there's one thing that's for certain trill has not given up
34:11He is still trying to fight with everything. He has every chance he gets
34:16He's going for a second belly to back trill able to land on his feet
34:21Dante trying to gain a roll through and they're into a pin and a kick out at two for dante
34:26chen
34:27Two and seven eights. Oh man trill would have loved to have stolen this thing and gotten out of dodge
34:34But not so fast dante misses with the kick watch out and that's what trill does
34:40That's what he does best. He's a flyer. He's a risk taker
34:42That was a big risk and it paid off. Absolutely. Just caught enough of dante chen
34:48He's going back up top again. It seems
34:50His life is like a movie and clearly so is his wrestling matches
34:55Whoa
34:57Dante rolled out of the way wasn't able to catch him with that. Do you see that the speed on
35:01the way down from trill?
35:02I don't know if i've ever seen that
35:05Watch out more from trill lundin into a pin
35:08And a kick out from chen again near fall
35:14And still showing that fight absolutely you can tell he's running low on gas but trill lundin is fighting
35:21But that kick right under the chin
35:24Maybe too much for trill lundin to respond to
35:30Dante looks angry
35:32Hey, look at the face on dante
35:34Trill just crawling up his body. Like I said, I mean he's not surrendering. He's still in this thing
35:41Oh
35:43He was still in this thing stone
35:45Oh
35:47Okay, dante now dante's leveling up. You know what he's looking for
35:53Chintel touch
35:55Trill lundin with a great effort, but dante chen secures the win
36:01Here is your winner
36:04Dante
36:07Dante chen
36:08Dante chen
36:10Turned it on late and brought it to trill lundin
36:16Woof take us through it stone
36:18Two fan favorites going out in this one trill lundin had his moments
36:22But the man with the gentle touch used his massive experience difference over trill to score a much-needed victory
36:32Big win for dante chen
36:35Who now i'm sure has his sights set on more but
36:40After a very aggressive performance. Oh, he extends the hand
36:45And shows respect to young trail lundin. You love to see that stone. Yeah, I mean there goes the edge
36:50But that's what I love. He brought the edge in the match, but still can have the respect afterward
37:02Now let's toss it backstage to our two competitors both determined to prove they're at the top of the women's
37:06brand here on evolve
37:07Kendall gray and carmen petrovich coming together in the evolve face-off. Let's get to it
37:19Look carmen, I don't want this to be a whole thing. I mean, we've been cool with each other. You've
37:23done your thing
37:24I've done my thing on nxt and on evolve
37:27But now you're coming after my title and when my titles on the line. I don't care who you are
37:32or what your background is
37:34And when you walk into the gray area, you don't walk out the same and you're definitely not walking out
37:39with my title
37:42Kendall i've watched you go from quiet underdog to confident champion and although I love that for you
37:48I feel like you're looking past me
37:50Which is ironic considering people used to look past you too
37:54But I want you to keep looking past me because I see that you've got a lot going on here
37:58and in nxt
37:59Which is exactly where i'm gonna come in
38:02I've been building momentum and i've got a lot of victories under my belt
38:05Which is now why I got the time to take that title
38:10You can keep underestimating me all you want
38:12But that championship is mine
38:17Look, carmen i'm not underestimating you. I mean, I know this is gonna be one hell of a battle
38:22But just know that I walk into every single match knowing that i'm gonna walk out victorious
38:27Look, you've had some pretty big wins and i'll give you that and that's exactly why we're sitting here right
38:31now
38:32There's no that i'm gonna walk in as champion and walk out as champion

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

43:37Drake
43:41You make such a great point stone what an interesting night it is
43:45When the other members of the id program are willing to support the vanity project
43:51And i'm sitting here finding myself rooting for the vanity project
43:54I really think it speaks to what cam hendricks and team pc
43:59Have done here over the last few weeks on eval
44:03Well, if you ask me everyone at all times should have always liked the vanity project, but nonetheless here we
44:07are
44:08This is the situation on hand and jackson drake. He's been champion now for 245 games
44:13He wants to keep that he wants to make it to a year and hey
44:17succession two was just announced it's going to be in four weeks on march 4th and
44:22And both of these guys clearly want to be the champion on that night
44:26No question about it jackson drake
44:28And kendall gray have recently been
44:31Like you said for a while now the faces of wwe evolving speaking of face look at cam hendricks in
44:37the face of jackson drake
44:39But he's not going to take that lightly look
44:41I think cam is a talented guy that he's got a great future in the wwe
44:45But now that tpc is not in control of the show getting in the champs face like that
44:50I don't know if that's the smartest thing to do
44:55Jackson drake
44:59Looking looking better than ever physically. I think we've seen a bit of an evolution physically from drake
45:04Since he won the title both of these guys are both of these guys are in tip-tap shape
45:08That's why this championship match so many people are looking. It's been buzzing all week
45:12Everyone's been talking about this match all eyes are on this
45:16What's up with cam hendricks spider-man gloves?
45:20It's a thing
45:22I don't know what that means but oh no test of strength jackson drake
45:30Still very vanity project in his approach to everything if cam wins this match evolve will not be the same
45:36Oh, look at that. Oh, but I got to tell you. Oh, there you go
45:39Okay
45:41What's good for the goose is good for the gander swipe right get involved riggins and presley getting involved
45:47And the kick from cam hendricks to the head of the champ jackson drake taking a breather
45:52We could have chaos here at ringside referee joey gonzalez gotta get some control of this thing
46:01This is a complete reversal of fortune
46:04We've seen this happen to swipe right for riggins and presley
46:10They're also banned from ringside
46:14Swipe right riggins and presley banned from ringside our championship match continues next
46:23This is
46:24This is nxt on the cw ground zero for greatness
46:29The future walks through that curtain no fear no shortcuts nothing but hunger
46:36It's a new era. It's a new time. Who's gonna step up?
46:43Oh
46:44Here we go
46:46The grind is real the spotlight is earned
46:50heart
46:50Hustle
46:51History and dominion the big history you got to do what you got to do
46:58Oh
46:59My 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
47:28The man you see with those big right hands to our champion jackson drake is cam hendricks who earned himself
47:34this title match a few
47:35Weeks back and he's gonna pin the champion and drake kicks out at two
47:39Just before break swipe right and riggins and presley both banned from ringside
47:44So we have ourselves stone a straight up one-on-one championship match
47:49Yeah, and like I was saying before the break to you if cam wins this evolve not going to be
47:53the same if the team pc
47:54If they have that championship in their possession, they're going to want to take evolve in a new direction
47:58Evolves at a crossroads and the winner determines what road is next
48:02Can you imagine if cam hendricks has the evolve championship at succession two coming up in early march?
48:08Well, you think back to the og evolve
48:10It was built on individuals putting in the work to grind to get opportunities
48:14Similar 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. He's been a fighting
48:31champion
48:32He's beaten everyone who's come his way and he's been very impressive the entire time and he just caught cam
48:38with an
48:40The athleticism of the carolina reaper followed by a shot to the back and here we go
48:47Of course jackson drake's best friend javon evans now a part of the raw roster
48:51You 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
49:07But 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 situation
49:19I mean, you got to remember he has title defense wins over keanu carver sean legacy, but oh man
49:26They're in a dangerous place right now. Yeah up on the second rope those elbows to the back of the
49:31head
49:32of cam hendricks
49:34Trying to get him off the second rope, but man
49:37There's a lot of impact in each of those right hands from hey. He's still he's still trying. He's still
49:43got 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 camp
49:58The 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
50:08There's so much on the line on this match so many eyes on this match. It's evolve. It's wednesday night
50:15It's to be come on
50:18I have been waiting for this one
50:20Hoping to see cam hendricks catches comeuppance
50:23But right now he catches jackson drake with the right hand to the gut and one to the head
50:27Let's not forget this is cam hendricks first one-on-one match in evolve and it's a championship opportunity
50:33What an incredibly rare?
50:36Situation where a debut match is a title shot as you see wait a minute
50:42He didn't mean to but he just took out joey gonzalez. Yeah, hendricks took out our referee
50:48And now hendricks and drake are down, but so is the ref
50:52Well, we need to figure out get another referee out here
50:55Well, there you see tate wilder's out here trying to help the ref uh wake up or
50:59Or come back to his senses or something. He took a shot. Oh, but watch out here comes tpc. Oh,
51:05that didn't take long
51:06Raction cole riggins and presley beating down dr. Thirst jackson drake
51:13Well, what what's the situation? Oh, but here comes id
51:16They did come and help the vanity project. They kept their word aaron rorke sam holloway cappuccino jones
51:22Oh, here comes the beast keanu carver going right after holloway takes it out with the right hand takes out
51:28Eric walk takes out cappuccino jones and legacy this thing is just breaking down
51:33I mean, I don't know should we get more referees out here security something's got to give
51:37I mean, this looks like a battle royal here comes right
51:40Ricky smokes and grab baylor peter we're still in the middle of a championship match big knee from baylor take
51:46it up wrestling
51:48This is complete chaos and there's no referee stone get in there and do something. Yeah, i'm gonna get in

52:01Carver slides holloway under the rope right hand takes out sam hollow
52:05Swipe right sean legacy cappuccino jones on the same page. What's this?
52:12Show him why he's super over the top. He just took out all of tpc
52:18And can you believe this to see cappuccino jones and swipe right in the ring but on the same side?
52:24Ricky smokes look at that double team move
52:33And cappuccino up top there it is look what happens when id united froggy brew elbow lands
52:42Unaliving

53:01jackson
53:01Drake
53:03I think I speak for everyone in the performance center when I say
53:08I have never been so happy to see the vanity project standing tall as jackson drake finds a way
53:16To defend the title against the obnoxious cam hendricks still the champion still the face of evolve still the direction
53:24of evolve
53:25Yes
53:26All right
53:27A lot happened here stone. Where can we even begin?
53:30Well, this was a very much anticipated evolve championship match and it lived up to the hype
53:35Both team pc and the vanity project
53:37They did get ejected early on as the challenger and champion were able to display their abilities before absolute chaos
53:45ensued
53:47Referee joey gonzalez was taken out
53:51Team pc and id swipe right descended into absolute anarchy
53:56Leading to an incredible unaliving and still your evolved champion heartbreak jackson drake
54:06And there you have it
54:09Swipe right and jackson drake
54:12Standing tall cappuccino jones. I'm coming for this
54:16I'm coming for this. You owe me one
54:19You owe me one
54:21But just know i'm coming for this
54:24Last weekend with cam hendricks standing tall holding the championship over a fallen jackson drake
54:29But this week tells a very different story as team id unites
54:33Drake survives and cappuccino jones hands the evolved championship back to its right folder
54:39But as jones made perfectly clear jackson drake now owes him
54:44Who else's gonna do it nobody
54:46Everybody.
