00:00It certainly seems to be as we're set for a huge main event right here, Peter.
00:05What a week it's been on Evolve, the debut of Elijah Holyfield.
00:09Yeah, and he made an impression quickly.
00:13Holy smokes, that uppercut would certainly make the old man proud.
00:18And of course, more bullying by Cam Hendricks and Harley Riggins.
00:22But right now, Sloane Jacobs back in the WWE here on Evolve.
00:26The ultimate opportunist looking to take full advantage and win her first championship in the WWE here tonight.
00:37Sloane Jacobs earned this opportunity last week in tag team action alongside Nikita Lyons.
00:42Big Cat Kita rocked Champ Chu with a devastating spin kick.
00:45But before Big Cat Kita could make the cover, Lainey Luck cut her off.
00:49And Jacobs was in the right place at the right time to capitalize, secure the victory, and earn the championship
00:54opportunity.
00:58Sloane Jacobs, 23 years old.
01:03Very, very new.
01:04Of course, this is her second time around.
01:06Made her way back to WWE.
01:07But Wendy Chiu, a pupil in this spot, Blake.
01:12Well, Nikita certainly wanted that opportunity for herself.
01:14But maybe looking to reap the rewards of one Sloane Jacobs here in this championship battle.
01:19Well, challenger's in, champion is in.
01:21Now let's head to Mike Rome to set the table for this women's championship main event.
01:28The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the Evolve Women's Championship.
01:40Introducing the challenger from Westchester, Pennsylvania, Sloane Jacobs.
01:56And her opponents, from the city that never sleeps, she is the Evolve Women's Champion, Wendy Chiu.
02:16So here we go, huge main event.
02:23It's go time, baby.
02:24Let's get into it.
02:25Just three weeks from Succession 3.
02:29And take a look at the VIP.
02:30Look who's back.
02:31P.J. Vassa.
02:33And, of course, Carmen Petrovic.
02:35P.J. Vassa.
02:35I've never seen her in such a relaxed state before.
02:38I guess she's not too worried about people recognizing her as a name right across the fan.
02:42And here we go, right off the bell.
02:44Wendy Chiu bringing the fight right to Sloane Jacobs.
02:46And, Peter, earlier it was confirmed the winner of this matchup will defend the Evolve Women's Championship.
02:51Here we go, quick cover there by Sloane Jacobs.
02:54Will defend the Evolve Women's Championship against Nikita Lyons at Succession 3 on June 24th.
03:00I've got to tell you, Blake, that's exactly what I expected.
03:02You know what Succession's all about.
03:04The question remains, though, who will be the champion?
03:08You have to wonder how much pressure does that add to this title matchup.
03:11Here we go, into the cover, up the dropkick.
03:13Only two.
03:14Sloane Jacobs was once in NXT.
03:15She was let go, and now she's back through WWE ID.
03:18And tonight, beating Wendy Chiu would complete her redemption story.
03:21Well, if you're Wendy Chiu, finally winning championship gold.
03:24But on the other side, Sloane Jacobs has battled her way back for a second chance.
03:28And tonight, she has the opportunity to take everything she's worked for and turn it into the biggest victory of
03:34her career.
03:35As Wendy Chiu in control right now, Sloane Jacobs trying to get back to her feet.
03:39But who's walking out as Evolve Women's Champion?
03:43Back in action here on Evolve.
03:44Huge main event, and Peters for right there.
03:46The richest prize in the Evolve Women's Division.
03:48Wendy Chiu, Sloane Jacobs, as these two have been back and forth over the last couple of minutes.
03:52Absolutely, and one of the things that I love about match-ups like this is just seeing what a young
03:56talent like Sloane Jacobs is.
03:57Oh!
03:58Win or loss, does she step up?
04:01As you see, PJ Vassa and Carmen Petrovic looking on.
04:03Oh, hold on, a little bit of.
04:05Here we go, Jacobs pounding away on Wendy Chiu.
04:08It looks like a bit of an argument right there.
04:09You have to wonder, those two probably feel like they should be the top contender.
04:12And if I'm Carmen Petrovic, I'm not getting any argument VIP with PJ Vassa.
04:17Whatever she said, it's fine.
04:19Typically, PJ Vassa won, you don't want to start an argument with.
04:22But Carmen Petrovic certainly could back up her own words.
04:25You see right there in the near side of our screen, Nikita Lyons even sharing some words with the VIP.
04:30Yeah, everyone seems to want to come get their issue today.
04:33I never want to go get my issue.
04:35And, of course, we saw that on the Eliminator several weeks ago.
04:38A lot of these stars in that match-up, and the issues might not be open.
04:43So Sloane Jacobs, so far in this match-up, holding her own.
04:47Putting the work in, drops the leg, looks to the outside legs.
04:51And an ear fall there for Sloane Jacobs.
04:54But, Peter, either way, you have to tip your cap to Sloane Jacobs.
04:57Immense improvements in her game since returning to the WWE.
05:00Oh, yeah, and think about it.
05:01She had an opportunity.
05:02It went away.
05:03She actually went and tried out again.
05:07Tries out for the WWE again.
05:09Finds her way back to the Performance Center.
05:11And now here she is on Tubi on a Wednesday night with a championship opportunity.
05:15That's a lot of pressure.
05:16Certainly no lack of humility in Sloane Jacobs.
05:19But what we've seen over the last few weeks, we certainly can call her that ultimate opportunity.
05:24Now she's kind of in control of this match-up against the vet champ, Wendy Chu.
05:29Whether it's Lady Luck, or Wendy Chu, and the twisting elevated suplex, Sloane Jacobs into the cover.
05:36Will we have a new champion?
05:37Can you imagine?
05:39And Sloane certainly thought that was enough, Peter.
05:42Well, I'm here to inform Sloane, as much as she's learned as the Performance Center,
05:45you need a full three count to win the match.
05:48As Sloane Jacobs continuing to try to wear down champ Chu right here.
05:54As Wendy Chu trying to get back in this match-up.
05:58You see more of an argument here in the VIP.
06:02By the way, maybe you guys shouldn't be hanging out.
06:06And, Peter, how about some more breaking news coming down right now?
06:09You're going to love this one next week, the It's Gall Open Challenge.
06:13Are you serious?
06:14It's official.
06:14That is something I can really look forward to.
06:19And after what we saw earlier tonight, also official,
06:22Cappuccino Jones, Marcus Mathers, and Sam Holloway against the Mog Squad,
06:25it's six-man tag team match.
06:27Wow, what a lineup.
06:28And I'll tell you what, in spite of the fact that I scored a zero on the Stutometer,
06:32I'm still excited to see what It's Gall brings to the It's Gall Open Challenge.
06:35And certainly wonder who's going to answer that Open Challenge.
06:37We knew this week's episode of VOD was loaded.
06:40Next week looks to be even more impactful
06:43as Wendy Chiu right now, that hammerlock clothesline.
06:48And you know everything, Wendy Chiu, is really just softening you up to get that dirt now.
06:53That's what she's looking for every time.
06:54As Wendy looking to seal the deal.
07:00Oh, are you getting the sense that Nikita Lyons is rooting Sloan on or just sort of observing?
07:07She's been quite passive there in the corner as there's a Molly go-round,
07:11taking one out of the Evolved Champions playbook.
07:14Didn't connect with all of it, only two for Wendy.
07:17Wendy Chiu's second title defense still chasing her first successful one after Sloan and Nikita ruined the last attempt.
07:25Of course, in that first title defense, broken up by one Sloan Jenkins.
07:29And Sloan with a counter here on the cover.
07:31Nice reversal by Wendy.
07:32Back and forth we go.
07:36As the challenger stood in the champion, there's the face buster, cover peter, center of the ring.
07:43And you know it didn't sit well with Wendy Chiu that she has her first title defense and doesn't actually
07:48retain with a win.
07:49She wants to actually do it the right way.
07:52She took no satisfaction.
07:54And it looks like Nikita Lyons, very satisfied with the offensive output right now of the challenger.
07:59No, Big Cat Kina, she's getting into it with the VIP section, with the crowd.
08:05Wendy's slipping out the back door.
08:09As Sloan getting Wendy caught in the fishnets.
08:13Yeah, this is one of the more interesting things Sloan Jacobs brings to the table.
08:17As Jacobs, she might be starting to think about that siren song, peter.
08:22If she can lock in that submission, I don't know if there's anywhere for Wendy Chiu to go.
08:25Well, I'll tell you this, if she's going to the top, she needs to move faster than that.
08:27Because the champ ain't going to let you take your sweet-ass time, pardon the expression, to get to the
08:33top rope.
08:33We're certainly getting into the deep waters of this matchup.
08:36As Wendy Chiu, looking for that superplex.
08:40All the way down.
08:41And Wendy's going to roll with her.
08:44Look at the perseverance of Champ Chiu.
08:47Braidbuster, cover, Wendy Chiu.
08:55As Wendy's got to be feeling a level of frustration here, peter.
08:58Well, listen, she knows, she is expected, she is a favorite going into this matchup with Sloan Jacobs.
09:04She is expected to take this title into Succession 3.
09:08She's looking for the dirt nap.
09:09Is it hooked in?
09:11Jacobs trying to counter.
09:13Trying to move any direction she can.
09:16Sloan gets Chiu in the corner.
09:18And Sloan creates the separation.
09:23Uh-oh.
09:24And she's got her in that backpack position.
09:26Uh-oh.
09:26Oh!
09:27Goodness gracious.
09:28And drops Chiu face first.
09:30Sloan Jacobs now.
09:32Firmly in the driver's seat.
09:34Not getting the sense of the Evolve Universe.
09:36Huge, huge fans of Sloan Jacobs.
09:38And Jacobs right in front of the Lions.
09:40Drops the elbow.
09:41Nikita looks impressed.
09:42Cover hooks the outside leg.
09:45Two and seven, eight.
09:47Somehow, Wendy Chiu presses out.
09:49Well, this thing has already gotten more complicated than Wendy Chiu would have liked.
09:57As you have to wonder how much deeper in the playbook can Sloan Jacobs go.
10:00Siren song.
10:01She has it locked in.
10:02Well, this is not where Wendy Chiu wants to be.
10:05Fingers interlocked underneath the chin.
10:07But Wendy's starting to slide towards that bottom rope.
10:10Nikita Lyons manipulating it.
10:12Can't do that.
10:14Vicky Deerco's right there.
10:15What are you doing, Keith?
10:17Uh-oh.
10:18Watch out.
10:18And Wendy, dirt nap from a seated position.
10:21Sloan rolls through.
10:22Near fall.
10:24And Wendy gets caught.
10:27As Jacobs now tries the slingshot.
10:30Oh, man.
10:31That's going to stun Wendy.
10:33Champ is in trouble here.
10:35Into an electric chair position.
10:38As Wendy trying to counter.
10:41Slips out the back into the dirt nap.
10:43She hasn't locked in.
10:46Wendy Chiu has slowed Jacobs down.
10:49She's going to tap.
10:50And the champ perseveres.
10:54Here is your winner as a result of submission.
10:58And still, the Evolve Women's Champion, Wendy Chiu.
11:07Talk about a battle, Peter.
11:09But at the end of the night, Wendy Chiu perseveres and is still your Evolve Women's Champion.
11:16What a huge opportunity for Sloan Jacobs so early in her Evolve career.
11:21And she held her own.
11:23Surprising the champion.
11:24Showing why she's earned this moment.
11:26But in the end, Wendy Chiu cashing in on that championship experience all the way.
11:31And now continues to sit atop the Evolve Women's Division with a successful title defense here on Wednesday night.
11:40And Wendy Chiu back to her feet right now.
11:44As the challengers continue to stack up here for Wendy Chiu.
11:48Oh, Nikita just swatted away her partner.
11:52Wendy Chiu turns around and there it is.
11:55It is now official June 24th at Evolve Succession 3.
11:59Wendy Chiu defends her championship against Nikita Lyons, who now has the biggest opportunity of her career.
12:09Looks like another argument.
12:11Starting to break out here in the VIP lounge.
12:15Oh!
12:16Carmen Petrovic, PJ Vasa going back and forth.
12:18Officials trying to separate them.
12:20This one's starting to ramp up even more.
12:22Our Succession 3 title match is set.
12:24But we'll see this battle to be continued next week.
