00:07Then, now, forever, together,
00:33Team PC is riding high after last Wednesday,
00:35embarrassing Sean Legacy and the rest of Team ID.
00:37But tonight, Cam Hendricks gets his shot at history
00:40as the Vanity Project's wildcard, Jackson Drake,
00:43defends the WWE Evolve Championship
00:45against Team PC's Cam Hendricks.
00:49What are you putting on now?
00:50I'm putting like 405, 505 reps.
00:53505 reps.
00:54Why? Stop the cap, bro.
00:56You did not do that.
00:57You saw it.
00:57I've seen him do it.
00:58Now, why 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
01:09not 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
01:17and finally bring some star power
01:18to that Evolve Man's championship.
01:21Jackson Drake just ain't cutting it anymore.
01:24What about time he's sitting his goofy ass down, bro?
01:26What's up, bro?
01:27Big brain.
01:28How you doing, man?
01:29Hey, where you been?
01:30Hey, it's good looking here right now, dude.
01:31Yeah, don't worry about it.
01:32We got a guy for that.
01:33It's been like 20 minutes, though, bro.
01:35Where you been?
01:35Oh, sorry, guys.
01:36It got a little messy in the bathroom,
01:38if you know what I mean.
01:41Well, anyways,
01:42is Legacy going to get here anytime soon?
01:45He's got to clean all this up.
01:46Yeah, where's that guy?
01:47Where's that guy?
01:48Whatever, though.
01:49Cam, how you feeling, man?
01:50All I'm going to say is
01:52I woke up feeling dangerous.
01:54Oh, I like how you're talking about it.
01:57Hey!
02:00What's up, man?
02:01What's up, man?
02:02Let's see, man.
02:03Super.
02:04Super.
02:05Super.
02:07Super.
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
02:20in the bathroom, bro, all right?
02:22Don't forget that, though, bro.
02:25I thought Playboy would be super.
02:48Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WWE Evolve.
02:53On to be Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone,
02:55ringside at the WWE Performance Center.
02:57And you see the energy of the newest official signee
03:01here on Evolve, Tyra May Steele, the gold medalist.
03:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
03:09Introducing first, from Houston, Texas,
03:13Tyra May Steele.
03:15I'm up in Evolve, baby!
03:17So excited to see Tyra May Steele.
03:18But let me tell you, Stone, I'm sickened to see
03:20what I just saw in the PC locker room.
03:22What a strong 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.
03:29You'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,
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, but 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 May 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.
04:29Look at her.
04:29She 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.
04:36Would you even say, like,
04:37we've seen Tyra May 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,
04:45she 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 from Tyra May Steele,
05:00at least in the eyes of Carly Bright,
05:02who cannot like how that felt.
05:04She's confident.
05:06Let 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.
05:19I'm sick of this.
05:20I'm amazing.
05:21I'm upset.
05:23There's a 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 May Steele
05:36isn'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 May Steele?
05:41You find a way to get out of one of her holds
05:43and you use strikes.
05:45Maybe you have a submission that you can lock in
05:48in a different position.
05:49She's getting bent in half right now
05:51by Tyra May Steele.
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.
06:05You said it.
06:05Maybe getting on the ground and wrestling.
06:07Oh, and look at Tyra May 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 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 May Steele.
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 May 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.
07:38Okay, 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 and 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,
08:06you 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 dump?
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.
08:43Will it be effective?
08:45Caught midair.
08:46Tyra's got power too.
08:48That might have been the mistake that cost Carly Bright the matchup.
08:52She 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.
09:32But 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.
09:55Oh, wait.
09:56This is all fancy.
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.
10:07New vanity project.
10:08Okay?
10:08We're trying to be a little more inclusive.
10:10And maybe even a little more like...
10:11Humble.
10:12Really?
10:13Yeah.
10:14I couldn't say it.
10:14Okay, guys, look, long story short, Jackson's been going through a lot.
10:18We literally invited you into our dorm.
10:19Just asked for a little bit of help.
10:20That's it.
10:20Yeah, look, the vanity project, or we, we collectively need to band together if we're going to take
10:26out Cam Hendrix and the rest of the PC crew.
10:29No, no, no, no.
10:29I wasn't...
10:29No way.
10:30I don't care.
10:30No way you brought us in here for that.
10:33Yeah.
10:34After the way y'all been treating us all year, y'all been talking crazy, treating us the way
10:37you have, now 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 how we can let Cam Hendrix be champion.
10:54So, good for you.
10:55No, you actually had a point.
10:56Who knew there was a brain behind there?
10:58You ain't lying, you ain't lying, Aaron.
11:00Look, look, look.
11:00Cam, I can't stand his arrogant ass.
11:03No!
11:03And Jackson, 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.
11:18Why do you really think we should do this?
11:21Oh, yeah, guys, tunnel off.
11:23We're in no rush.
11:23We're in no rush.
11:25We can't do this.
11:26Okay, okay, okay, let's do it.
11:27I'm in.
11:28Hey, you're not in a rush, okay?
11:30We've converse.
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, Adam.
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.
11:48Oh, shit.
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.
12:00Sorry.
12:01What are you talking about?
12:02You guys are serious?
12:04Yeah.
12:04Yeah, no, we're good.
12:06It was like that, huh?
12:07Hey, hey, hey, hey.
12:09Sunglasses up.
12:09You heard him.
12:11We ain't ready in their mind.
12:12While next week we show y'all that we are ready.
12:15Sunglasses back on.
12:17Let's get out of here.
12:18Y'all about to find out real quick.
12:20Peace.
12:20Don't do that anymore.
12:21Good talk.
12:23Yeah, kick rocks, Jack, guys.
12:24I think that went well, boys.
12:25I guess.
12:26I guess.
12:26It felt weird.
12:27It felt really weird.
12:28You're telling me.
12:29You can't have a number in my bag.
13:06I have not been able to sleep since that creepy psychic lady.
13:10I didn't even know you were here.
13:13You know I need my 13 hours.
13:17Yeah.
13:18There's honestly not enough polysanto in the world to cleanse them.
13:22It's insane.
13:24Insane.
13:25What?
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.
13:41Yes, we'll be fine.
13:42Yeah.
13:42I know.
13:43I know.
13:43Seriously, let's just do it.
13:44Hello.
13:45Ladies.
13:46Hi.
13:47Hi.
13:48Hi.
13:50I love your love fur.
13:54It is barely polyester, so there you go.
13:58I'm sorry, was 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.
14:16Big tubes.
14:16And we can suffer through it.
14:19Yes.
14:20Maybe let's put the past behind us?
14:23Hmm.
14:24Sure.
14:25Oh.
14:27Okay.
14:27Okay.
14:28All 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.
14:42Yeah.
14:42We'll show you.
14:43Well, yes, we're going to teach you.
14:44Keep up.
14:45Okay.
14:45All right.
14:46Bye.
14:46Five, six, seven, eight.
14:48Front, front, back, back, inside, inside.
14:52You got it?
14:53I think so.
14:54Let's.
14:55All right.
14:55All right.
14:56All right.
14:56Let's go.
14:57Five, six, seven, eight.
14:58Front, front, back, back, inside, inside.
15:03There you go.
15:03Let's go, let's go.
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 along.
15:14The 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.
15:33So don't even attempt to dance at the commentator's table, please.
15:37Just, I don't want you to get further into it.
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 meat.
15:55He's a top chef.
15:56This guy really, really lives that Bayou life.
16:04Come on!
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 versus Team PC gauntlet match a few weeks ago.
16:43And he made a big return by eliminating Keanu Carver in that thing.
16:48There 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 Marone.
17:03That'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.
17:16And you know he wants that.
17:17I'll tell you what.
17:18Team 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.
17:34And he declared he wants to do his own thing.
17:37He'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?
17:53Both of these guys, so agile for their size.
17:57The drop kit from Moreau.
17:59Gravity clearly didn't get the memo about Drake's size.
18:02That was impressive.
18:07Into 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.
18:21Oh, a 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.
18:58So the chin ringing the bell of Drake Moreau.
19:01And now Sam Holloway is taking 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 of 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.
20:21And 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!
21:34Oh!
21:34Southern Mountain caught him with a spinning boot.
21:39That Bayou soul of Drake Moreau.
21:42Is it enough to finish Sam Holloway?
21:45Come on!
21:46Holloway's lost at the moment, Stone.
21:48Drake had an impressive debut.
21:50He wants to make it two.
21:52Oof!
21:54Right hands being exchanged by these two big men.
21:57Heavy blows back and forth.
22:01Oof!
22:02Oof!
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 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.
22:25But 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.
22:34That'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 to 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.
23:02He caught him with it.
23:04Are you all right, Stone?
23:06Watch out.
23:09A second.
23:18Here is your winner, Drake Moreau.
23:23Drake Moreau with a very, very impressive performance.
23:30Sam Holloway had some momentum.
23:33But Moreau kept fighting.
23:37And, wow, I thought you actually lost your mind there towards the end of that match.
23:41So, I'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.
23:48All right, well, Peter, this one clearly was a battle.
23:49This one was a fight.
23:50Two massive individuals fighting to prove their path to stardom here on Evolve.
23:55Holloway used his incredible aerial offense to take down Drake on the outside, but it was the Bayou Boy who
24:02turned the tides and used all of his LFG experience to continue his winning streak with an impressive victory here
24:09tonight.
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, yo!
24:19I like that.
24:23I like that.
24:24Come on, guys.
24:25Who 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.
24:36What'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.
24:51Well, let 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 Evolved Championship.
25:00And I'm going to bring it all back to Baton Rouge.
25:03And Louisiana go see the biggest crawfish bug party I've ever seen.

25:10All right.
25:10All right.
25:11I want in on that, baby.

25:16Thank you, Jimmy.
25:31Thank you, Jimmy.
25:32Now, 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?
25:47Kendall Gray versus Carmen Petrovich for the Evolved Women's Championship next Wednesday on Evolved.
25:53But before that, tonight marks the return of the Evolved face-off.
25:57Fireworks are guaranteed when Kendall Gray and Carmen Petrovich come face-to-face tonight on Evolved.
26:53Now, baby, hey, yo relax big man. We're not here for that right now. We're here to help Sean clean.

27:47You know you're like the most egotistical
27:51Selfish self-centered asshole in this whole program. You could be here right now helping us but no right you're

28:38Shouldn't have to scrub a thing. He's not helping clean that locker room. You know that why why should it's
28:43call be above anything?
28:44It's it's go
28:48The following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first from singapore winging at 227 pounds
28:57Dante
28:58Chen
29:01Dante Chen
29:03A superstar who roberstone always seems to have something
29:07Negative to say yeah, the three piece passion precision and perseverance. He's just forgetting one piece pathetic
29:13I'm kidding
29:15I'm kidding but the reality is though. We all know. Oh, come on. Don't do please. Yes. This is a
29:21great
29:21There it is really Peter. You almost hit me in the face. I feel it
29:25He needs an edge and that's and that's just that's that's reality Dante Chen needs some change. He needs an
29:31edge
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 from the anchors, New York winging at 211 pounds trail
29:51London
29:52For the past few weeks, we've gotten to know the WWE universe has gotten to know trail peter and he
29:58ain't keeping it real with you
29:59He's keeping it trail with. Oh good for you. There 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? No underground king for robert stone
30:11It's the origin of trail don't worry about it but trail london, of course great
30:15Athlete former football player huge fan of wwe
30:21And you know, he sees the world through a different lens and let me tell you something
30:24He said that when 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 troll to keep up with him
30:45trail recently said I saw him say that the first
30:50PLE 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
31:03And trail london. Yeah, he's tough. He's durable. You know, he wants to come straight ahead and take it right
31:08to dante
31:09But dante has a clear edge and experience
31:12But don't forget what's at stake here. All right dante's coming off that loss to drake moreau a few weeks
31:16ago
31:16And another setback tonight would not sit well with him at all
31:25Dante 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
31:49Wow, that 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 flying 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
32:11Trail 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 gonna say the exact same thing and and true 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 evil
32:44And chen slam put a little something extra on 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 true
32:59Trying to out wrestle him. I mean this it's something different in his eyes right now, and I i'm here
33:03for 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
33:14I mean, just get tossed around by dante chen
33:17Well, maybe dante chen has finally realized that you know, uh complete nice guys finish last
33:22I mean, I know he's gonna be a nice guy
33:24But when the bell rings, you got to do what you got to do
33:27Trill sends dante to 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
33:40And 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 two competitors in this one match and
33:52they both want a game-changing break
33:54Trill is new of course
33:55He wants a break dante. He's been waiting for that break for a long time
33:59Absolutely, and I think of a loss for dante chen to 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 of two for dante
34:27chen
34:27Two and seven-eighths. 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. That was a big risk and it paid
34:44off
34:45Absolutely just caught enough of dante chen. He's going back up top again
34:49It seems his 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
35:00Do you see that the speed on the way down from trill? I 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
35:12Go
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
35:32Look 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
35:47Okay, dante now dante's leveling up. You know what he's looking for
35:53Chensel touch
35:55Trill lundin with a great effort, but dante chen secures the win
36:01Here is your winner
36:04dante 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
36:33Big win for dante chen who 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
37:01Now let's toss it backstage to our two competitors both determined to prove they're at the top of the women's
37:07brand here on evolve
37:07Kendall gray and carmen petrovich coming together in the evolve face-off. Let's get to it
37:19The 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
37:43I'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, which is now why I got
38:07the 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 going to be one hell of a battle
38:22But just know that i walk into every single match knowing that i'm going to 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
38:32So just know that i'm going to walk in as champion and walk out as champion

39:59Evo fam how you doing chewy martinez here with the amazing cali armstrong
40:03Who's had some
40:05Losses recently and I feel like you have something to say to the people what'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 i'm the difference maker
40:24Chicks like carmen i 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 evolved women's champion
40:39I mean maybe
40:42Maybe I need to go back home for a minute
40:45Until I can remember who I am and where I came from
40:51There you have it back to you guys
40:54Powerful words from cali armstrong. I cannot wait to see what's next for cali
41:00It is main event time
41:04Well, we saw right there cali armstrong clearly is trying to get back on track
41:08And cam hendricks is trying to become the evolve champion peter
41:14Exactly right where cali armstrong wants to go. That'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
41:32And 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 and 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 the champion is here swipe right is here the
42:02vanity projects here
42:04And he is feeling it listen i'm gonna be honest with you after the beating that he took last week
42:09Who knows if he actually is?
42:12100 no matter how he looks but the reality is he is here and he is ready to defend
42:18His championship i'm throwing the v's up today. That's where i'm at today stone
42:23I'm throwing the v's up today. I'm loving it
42:27I'm, sorry. I cannot live in a world where we have to deal with
42:32Cam hendricks being the evolved champion
42:36so
42:37Baylor well
42:38Folks to your point. I'm with them today
42:42Vanity project talked to the id prospects earlier today and 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
42:57eval
42:58championship
43:01Introducing first the challenger from sacramento, california wing in at 257 pounds
43:10cam
43:13Hendricks
43:14Yeah, buddy. I don't know if they're feeling you here, bud
43:18And his opponent
43:20from greensboro, north carolina
43:23Wig in at 188 pounds
43:27Representing the vanity project. He is the wwe
43:32evil champion
43:35jackson
43:40You 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
44:00Have done here over the last few weeks on evolve well
44:03If you ask me everyone at all times should have always liked the vanity project
44:06But nonetheless here we are. This is the situation on hand and jackson drake
44:10He's been champion now for 245 games. He wants to keep that
44:15He wants to make it to a year and hey succession two was just announced
44:19It's going to be in four weeks on march 4th
44:21And and both of these guys clearly want to be the champion on that night
44:26No question about it jackson drake and kendall gray have recently been
44:31Like you said for a while now the faces of wwe ball, but speaking of face look at cam hendricks
44:37in the face of jackson drake
44:39But he's not going to take that lightly. Look, I think cam is a talented guy
44:43I think he's got a great future in the wwe
44:45But now that tpc is not in control of the show getting in the champ's 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?
45:19Oh
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
45:36Oh, 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 getting 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 got to 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 in the media
46:53The big history you got to do what you got to do
46:58Oh my lord nxt doesn't ground champions it creates them
47:05The next generation starts here this is just beginning
47:10live live live on the rise
47:17nxt 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 weeks back
47:36And he's gonna pin the champion and drake kicks out at two just before break swipe right
47:41And 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 is not going to
47:53be the same
47:53If the team pc if they have that championship in their possession, they're going to want to take evolve in
47:58a new direction
47:59Evolves out of 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 it was built on individuals putting in the work the grind to
48:13get 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 inziguri
48:40The athleticism of the carolina reaper followed by a shot to the back and here we go
48:46Of 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
49:24But 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 him. 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
50:41Oh, he just
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
51:06fraction cole riggins and presley beating down dr thirst jackson drake
51:13Well, what's the situation? Oh, but here comes id
51:16They did come and help the vanity project. They kept their word aaron rourke sam holloway cappuccino jones
51:22Uh-oh here comes the beast keanu carver going right after holloway takes it out with the right hand takes
51:28out aaron
51:29Rourke 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

51:42Peter we're still in the middle of a championship match big knee from baylor take it up wrestling

52:54Here is your winner who is still wwe evil champion jackson
53:02Drake
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
53:14Finds a way to defend the title against the obnoxious cam hendrix
53:21Still the champion still the face of evolve still the direction of evolve
53:25Yes
53:26All right, a 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
53:57Leading 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 hendrix 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 gonna do it nobody
54:51Yeah
