00:07Then, now, forever, together.
00:34Aaron Rourke was left standing all alone when he got some unexpected company.
00:39I'm going to keep this real simple.
00:42The main man needs the main title.
00:48You can see that numbers game continue to pile up on the evolved champion Aaron Rourke
00:53as he's outnumbered until here comes Cappuccino Jones
00:56and a returning Sam Holloway and Marcus Mathers to help the evolved champion.
01:04Despite all of that, Max Abrams still hits the main objective on Aaron Rourke.
01:10And as a result, it's Max Abrams versus Cappuccino Jones right here tonight on Evolve on Tubi.
01:27Ooh, I am feeling it tonight.
01:29Evolve is on fire.
01:32Now, look, we got Elijah Holyfield stepping in the ring for his debut.
01:36We got the Mog Squad mogging ID 1.0.
01:39And we've got my ID 2.0 girlies taking it to Layla Diggs and Mason Holiday.
01:45And also, how can we forget, you got your title match against Wendy Chu.
01:51Right back where I should be all thanks to you, Nikita.
01:55Oh, girl, you are so sweet.
01:56Honestly, I'm just happy we won that tag match despite Lainey costing me the pinfall.
02:01But whatever, it is your time to finally end Wendy's uninspiring title reign.
02:07And I'm going to be in your corner to make sure that happens.
02:10I know that's right, girl.
02:11Tonight, Wendy Chu will sink beneath me.
02:40Another huge Wednesday night on Tubi.
02:43a major debut, and, of course, the Evolve Women's Championship on the line.
02:47Hold on, Blake.
02:49It's time to do my dance.
02:53The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
02:58Introducing first, accompanied by Layla Diggs from Atlanta, Georgia, Mason Holiday.
03:06Getting the action started here in the Evolve Women's Division.
03:09Now, Peter, the last couple of times we've seen Layla Diggs and Mason Holiday,
03:13you've claimed you've added a touch to the dance.
03:16What's today's new move?
03:17Well, first of all, I printed that shirt for Layla.
03:20Really?
03:21Yeah, I went down to handle that.
03:22Hold on, the intro's the best.
03:24Who's better than Mason and Layla?
03:25Who's got more swag in all of WWE than these two?
03:30Are they going to point to you again?
03:32Wait for it.
03:38Also, beyond the dancing, I've just been impressed with both these two.
03:41The consistency, they continue to work in the PC, and you see it pay off in the ring.
03:53And her opponent, from North Caldwell, New Jersey, Gianna Capri!
04:02Well, here comes one of the top ID talents on the women's side, Gianna Capri.
04:06And, of course, a couple of weeks ago, Peter, we did see Anya Roon and Layla Diggs in singles action.
04:12Gianna Capri was in the VIP section, and I don't think she liked what she saw.
04:17Yeah, no, I don't think she did either, but I think a lot of people don't love what they've seen
04:20from Gianna Capri so far as well.
04:24Let's take a look at the VIP section this week as you see Veronica Haven and Anya Roon, and it's
04:29like two different demeanors.
04:30Yeah, two very different approaches, of course, but different styles as people as well.
04:34As Mason Holiday sets a go one-on-one here with Gianna Capri, and we talked about that matchup a
04:40couple of weeks ago between Arun and Diggs.
04:42Peter, how different is this matchup tonight?
04:45You know, similar and different.
04:48Obviously, in terms of new talent matching up with someone who's been here on Evolve, a similarity there.
04:54But style-wise, I mean, I've got to tell you, I'm still trying to get a read on who Gianna
04:57Capri is.
04:58Indeed, as Gianna Capri certainly has made her presence felt in various ways on Evolve, but has yet to really
05:03stack up the wins and move right on off the ladder in the Evolve Women's Division.
05:07Getting by Mason Holiday would certainly be a better recap and turn the head of Foreman Thatcher.
05:12Watch out pinfall in the cover.
05:15I was in Italy last week for Clash in Italy.
05:17I know!
05:18And I was asking many people if they knew Gianna Capri.
05:21Couldn't find anyone who was friends or family.
05:23Really?
05:23Yeah, I was just asking strangers on the street.
05:25Holding up a picture, saying, do you know Gianna Capri?
05:28Didn't get any answers.
05:29That's a very interesting sample of you.
05:31I was trying to do the research, Blake.
05:33It's called doing the work.
05:34You are an investigative journalist.
05:35Thank you.
05:35Mason Holiday looking to control the pace right here.
05:38And Mason Holiday and Layla Diggs over the last few weeks have really kind of established themselves in that veteran
05:42-like role on Wednesday nights.
05:44Yeah, that's the thing I like about it.
05:46They've seen the opening by Kendall Gray, by Callie Armstrong.
05:50And they're taking advantage.
05:52Becoming leaders.
05:53Mason looking to take advantage right here.
05:54Center of the ring.
05:55Only two there for Mason Holiday.
05:57And, of course, we're very excited, Peter.
05:59Three weeks from tonight, Succession 3 back on Tubi.
06:038 p.m.
06:04Cannot wait.
06:04Yeah, absolutely.
06:05Oh, you're always going to get, as you see, the VIPs looking on.
06:09You're always going to get multiple title opportunities on Succession.
06:13And just a great card every time.
06:15Both the Evolve Championship and the Evolve Women's Championship look to be on the line right there.
06:19But as we saw with the VIP section with Veronica Haven and Anya Rune, do those two look up to
06:24Gianna Capri?
06:27I can't get the sense if it's looking up to.
06:31Is there a little bit of fear there?
06:33What is that relationship?
06:34Capri does have more experience inside the ring.
06:37She's toured Japan throughout her career.
06:39And certainly would love to capitalize with a win here over Mason Holiday.
06:43Yeah, but that doesn't give her, having more experience does not give you the right to torment and sort of
06:47berate.
06:49Holiday from the outside in.
06:51Sunset flip only to, you know, berate the other talent in the locker room.
06:56As Capri looks to take advantage off that big stump.
06:59And here, fall right there.
07:01Capri going right back to it.
07:03When you think about it, Gianna Capri is the exact opposite of Mason Holiday.
07:07Gianna Capri chose to attack on Yeru, berate her after a loss.
07:12And, you know, Mason Holiday decided to step in and say, hey, chill out.
07:16That's not how we do things here on Evolve.
07:18And of course, Gianna Capri trying to take advantage as an ID talent, which we know Sloane Jacobs, a fellow
07:22ID talent,
07:23who takes full advantage later tonight as she challenges Wendy Chu for the Evolve Women's Championship.
07:28That is a huge, huge mountain to climb for Sloane Jacobs.
07:31And I know you're very much looking forward, Peter.
07:34The in-ring Evolve debut of Elijah Holyfield.
07:38Are you kidding me?
07:39Ooh!
07:41This is going to be so cool.
07:43Elijah Holyfield, his father of one of the most decorated athletes, and frankly, in American history.
07:49The guy did it all.
07:51Mason Holiday going for that head scissor again, but Gianna, oh!
07:55Scattered at that time and goes for the knee right after.
07:57Smart move by Sauce there.
07:59Got to hand it to her.
08:00And Capri going for the roll-up.
08:03Capri takes full advantage and steals the victory.
08:05Oh, and she also had her armor on the bottom rope.
08:08Here is your winner, Gianna Capri!
08:13Well, that's certainly one way to make a statement, Peter.
08:16Yeah, you called it a statement?
08:18She used the rope for leverage.
08:20I got the job done.
08:23I got the job done.
08:24You can do it every time.
08:26She, she's the one to be there.
08:28I won.
08:29I'm a winner.
08:30I represent the ID program.
08:32Not her!
08:33You're out of me!
08:34Well, Veronica Haven likes what she sees.
08:37Anya Rune didn't like how it goes down.
08:38And as Capri looks to lead the women's ID program, let's hear from the leader of the Evolve Women's Division
08:44about tonight's defense.
08:48Sloan Jacobs, congrats.
08:51Kudos to you for making it back to WWE.
08:53I see that you put in the work, but ever since you've returned, you've taken sleazy shortcuts to get a
08:59title shot.
09:01Sleazy Sloan.
09:02Sounds fitting.
09:04But I get it.
09:05You have a chip on your shoulder, and the amount of times that I had to reset in my career,
09:10I can proudly call myself a champion.
09:12So if it's a fight that you want, you got it.
09:15And you could bring your kitty cat of a partner, because I'm still walking out as Evolve Women's Champion, and
09:20you can chew on that.
09:21Champ Chu looks ready to not just defend her title, but also put down Sloan Jacobs here tonight.
09:27Also tonight on Tubi, it's the main man energy versus caffeinated energy, as Cappuccino Jones looks to get some retaliation
09:33for his ID friends against the Mog Squad,
09:36as Cappuccino Jones goes one-on-one with Max Abrams here tonight.
09:40Yes, and coming up later tonight, the Evolve debut of Elijah Holyfield.
09:47I cannot wait.
09:47Certainly cannot wait for that, but up next, Harley Riggins is looking to put a quick end to the rapid
09:53rise of newcomer Romeo Moreno.
09:55Romeo left his mark on Harley Riggins in the form of a boot print on his face.
09:59But will the result be the same tonight?
10:02We'll find out next on Evolve.
10:07On July 18th, the world's most famous arena delivers the main event.
10:18You know what time it is.
10:21You want a moment?
10:22This is always a moment.
10:25Everyone is buzzing about this spectacle.
10:29It's Saturday night's main event at the Garden.
10:31The night of Fanatics Fest NYC.
10:34Tickets on sale now.
10:40It's Gaal has been spending a lot of time here at the private It's Gaal Reflection Pond.
10:47And I've realized, for far too long, It's Gaal has been pulled into too many different directions here at Evolve.
10:55It's Gaal has been confused, tricked, and stuck.
11:01But no more.
11:03From now on, the only rock in a hard place, It's Gaal, is stuck in between, is these two granite
11:08biceps.
11:10Friends are overrated, and this stud is ready to get back on the solo game train.
11:15And I'm ready to choo-choo this train through any and all competition.
11:19So I'm here to announce the first ever It's Gaal Mint Condition Open Challenge.
11:25So dummies, step up and find out why when you're in mid-condition, there is no competition.
11:32Oh yeah!
11:35It's Gaal coming to some epiphanies after some soul searching.
11:39Honestly, I could use a Peter Rosenberg Reflection Pool sometimes.
11:43I get this.
11:43Well, it worked, I guess.
11:45But I'm not going to lie, the color of that water was somewhat questionable.
11:50The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
11:54I'm going to break them in half.
11:54Introducing first, accompanied by Cam Hendricks, from Sherton, Ohio, weighing 232 pounds,
12:03Carly Riggins!
12:05It's over.
12:06It's over before it even starts.
12:08You see the attitude there from Carly Riggins, and along with Cam Hendricks, Peter,
12:13these guys none too pleased with the events in the last couple of weeks.
12:16Well, it was two weeks ago in our main event when Romeo Moreno would come out of nowhere to take
12:21out Riggins,
12:21give him a while for the opportunity he needed to finally put down Cam Hendricks.
12:29At some point when things are going the wrong way, Blake, you've got to slow things down.
12:32How do we stop this thing and turn it around?
12:33We'll see how slow Harley Riggins can go, as he's usually all gas, no brakes.
12:39It's a coin to praise.
12:42What are you going?
12:43Two against one, that doesn't seem very fair.
12:45What's up with that?
12:46Truby, you know something, sometimes, in the darkest times,
12:54the toughest situations, we create our best art.
12:59So brother, let's show the world.
13:02.
13:22Well, it's an uphill battle for El Freestyler here tonight,
13:30but Peter, he certainly looks up to the challenge.
13:33Hey, hey, hey.
13:34You know, I started to get it down pretty well over the last few weeks.
13:36No, you're completely offbeat when you do it.
13:37And this is a very easy dance to do, but that's the part that worries me.
13:41See, I think I got the cadence down.
13:43What are you going to do when your wedding day comes
13:44if you can't even do the basic excellence?
13:46See, I thought I had it down.
13:48No, you don't, you don't.
13:49I got to tell you, super excited to see Romeo Moreno in a spot like this
13:53because Harley Riggins presents a serious challenge for anybody.
13:58Yes, Harley Riggins, Romeo Moreno, all set to go here.
14:01Bell sounds run away.
14:02Referee Jeremy Marcus assigned to this contest.
14:05And, Peter, we heard a little bit from Moreno right before this matchup,
14:07but ultimately, how dangerous is tonight's situation for Romeo?
14:10Well, extremely, even if it was a one-on-one with Harley Riggins
14:14with no threat of Cam Hendricks, I'd say it would be dangerous.
14:16But being as there's always, always a threat of Cam Hendricks,
14:22it's that much more dangerous for Romeo Moreno.
14:24As Romeo Moreno's win-loss record has been a bit shaky
14:27ever since coming to Wednesday nights,
14:29but he's certainly shown a lot of promise.
14:32He's certainly been an incredible talent.
14:34Bell pulls that, son.
14:36I've been very impressed with Romeo Moreno.
14:39He's just such an interesting athlete.
14:41Very innovative style of offense.
14:42Yeah, and the way he moves, there's just a smoothness.
14:45You would have thought he's been doing this forever,
14:47the way he moves around that ring.
14:48Look at the speed he even hit in the road.
14:50He calls himself an artist.
14:52The canvas is essentially the ring for him, indeed.
14:58As right now, Cam Hendricks getting involved
15:00and turns around as Romeo Moreno
15:03right into the big boot of Harley Riggins.
15:05Well, if Harley...
15:08Oh, man.
15:08A little whisper in the wind for the big man.
15:10Yeah, hold on.
15:10The cover.
15:11Only two.
15:13These are very different styles,
15:15and maybe you'd say if Romeo Moreno's an artist,
15:18Harley Riggins is something different altogether,
15:20because there is a brutality to Harley Riggins.
15:22But make no mistake with what you just saw right there,
15:24like that whisper in the wind.
15:26Very, very sneaky athletic, too.
15:27He's not just a bruiser.
15:29Harley can do a lot more.
15:31As Riggins continues to inflict punishment on Moreno,
15:34I think back to Tate Wilder's final message
15:36to Romeo Moreno before moving on to NXT.
15:39Every loss can become a lesson.
15:41Tate took his share of setbacks
15:43when he first arrived in Evolve,
15:44but used them as motivation.
15:46And right now, Romeo may need that lesson
15:48as the former Michigan State standout Harley Riggins
15:51is in control.
15:52Exactly.
15:52Romeo must turn this pain into purpose
15:54because Riggins is trying to make sure
15:55he learns this lesson the hard one.
16:03And Harley Riggins, Peter, since coming to Wednesday nights,
16:05has certainly been the oath of a trashed oath.
16:07He really has.
16:08But guess what?
16:08He backs it up with brute force in the ring.
16:11I think there's an incredibly high ceiling for Harley Riggins.
16:15If he stopped just hanging out with people like Cam Hendricks.
16:18Well, you almost wonder, I mean, in this matchup,
16:20is he doing the bidding for Cam Hendricks
16:22or trying to get a job done on his own?
16:24I think those things have never been mutually exclusive
16:27for Harley Riggins.
16:28I feel like he's always...
16:29Oh, you see the nice ensegurri there from Romeo.
16:31What a counter there by Romeo Moreno.
16:34I think Harley Riggins always is doing the bidding
16:36for Cam Hendricks
16:36while always trying to make a name for himself.
16:39As Riggins down, Moreno down.
16:44Big opportunity on the horizon here for Romeo Moreno.
16:47Not as a pick-up-a-win,
16:48but to really move up the ladder on Wednesday nights.
16:51You can already feel from the energy here,
16:53the crowd is going to explode
16:55if Romeo Moreno scores a pin on Harley Riggins.
16:58As Romeo goes up!
17:00And step-up in seguri,
17:01but it connects to Showtime.
17:02How about one for each?
17:04And this time gets Riggins as well.
17:06And Romeo Moreno trying to overcome the numbers game here.
17:10It's so rare that something good in the world happens.
17:13Wouldn't it be nice?
17:14Where are we going here?
17:14Where are we going?
17:15Romeo, what's the plan, Stan?
17:17As Moreno...
17:19Looks like he's going for the Spanish fly,
17:21but Cam Hendricks holding onto the leg there
17:23of Harley Riggins.
17:25Well, give credit to Cam Hendricks.
17:27And Romeo...
17:28Oh, no.
17:30Leaps right into the chokeslam.
17:32Oh!
17:33And gets caught with the knee underneath the chin.
17:35Moreno's down.
17:36And it's on Harley Riggins.
17:38Oh, that is brutal.
17:40Here is your winner,
17:43Harley Riggins!
17:46Well, Romeo Moreno certainly tried to overcome the odds here,
17:49but once again, that numbers game, Peter, entirely too much to overcome.
17:52I really thought Romeo Moreno was on his way to an incredible victory,
17:57and he really needed to score one.
18:00Painted a beautiful picture tonight,
18:02but in the end, not enough.
18:04Harley Riggins showing exactly why they call him.
18:07Oh, wait, wait.
18:07Hold on, Peter.
18:09Cam Hendricks is up to something right here.
18:11Let's see, this is the thing.
18:12The match is over.
18:13Riggins picked up the win.
18:15And you basically already knocked Romeo Moreno out cold.
18:18Wait a minute.
18:19Come on, guys.
18:20This is enough!
18:21Oh!
18:23Peter, this is payback, plain and simple.
18:26Romeo Moreno did the right thing when he stopped Harley Riggins
18:28from getting involved in Cam Hendricks' match against Tate Wilder.
18:32A match Cam went on to lose,
18:33and now Team PC is making Romeo pay for it.
18:36This is ridiculous.
18:37You made your point.
18:38Why go this way?
18:39The bullies of Oval just put their stamp on another victim.
18:44Listen, Victor, Peter.
18:48What are you doing?
18:50Last week, Braxton Cole attacked Harlan Lewis' arm.
18:54You guys ripped it out of its socket.
18:57He's not even medically cleared.
18:59You guys got to be careful.
19:01Yes, sir.
19:02We learned our lesson.
19:03Thank you for your guidance, boss.
19:05Yeah.
19:06Well, if all is about learning lessons,
19:09I think it's been received.
19:10I need you guys on point for this next one,
19:13especially this next match.
19:15Max Abrams versus Cappuccino Jones.
19:18The Monk squad is going to be lurking about.
19:21ID 1.0 is going to back up Cappuccino.
19:25Pandemonium!
19:26I can't have that before my very first succession.
19:28Hey, I'm counting on you guys' security
19:31to not let this match get ruined,
19:32to let the fellas settle it in the ring.
19:35Yes, sir.
19:36Can I do that?
19:36You got you, boss.
19:37All right.
19:38Good lad's day.
19:39Thanks very much, huh?
19:40Thank you.
19:41All right.
19:43Well, with that sorted,
19:45I can move on to Succession 3 on June 24th.
19:50First thing I can say is there will be a new acquisition to Evolve,
19:53a brand new debut.
19:55The other thing I can say is that after tonight's main event
19:59for the Evolve Women's Championship
20:02between Windy Chu and Sloan Jacobs,
20:04they will defend at Succession
20:07against Nikita Blinds.
20:11Well, how about that, huh?
20:13Let's get to work, then!
20:25This summer, the world arrives.
20:29Guarantee your place at the FIFA World Cup
20:32when it comes to North America.
20:36Elevate every minute of match day
20:38and experience the very best of the beautiful game
20:41with a ticket-inclusive hospitality package.
20:49The countdown to kickoff is on.
20:55Welcome back to Evolve.
20:57The foreman delivered massive news before the break.
20:59Nikita Lyons has earned a championship opportunity
21:02at Succession 3.
21:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
21:10Introducing first, from Daleks Tuskis,
21:13wing in at 210 pounds,
21:15representing the MOG Squad,
21:17Max Abrams!
21:20Last week, Max Abrams left the Evolve Champion Aaron Wark
21:22laid out with the main objective.
21:24And now he's carrying himself like a man
21:26who believes he already has the champ figured out.
21:28I'm not feel of main man energy these days.
21:30You know, the whole MOG Squad,
21:32it's been an entirely different presentation.
21:34Please don't do it.
21:35I hate it.
21:37Well, first of all,
21:38why is Max Abrams dressed like he's a Laker girl?
21:43That's a good point.
21:46But I will tell you,
21:48you know, Jimmy Hart always says
21:49it was taught to him back in the day
21:53if you dress like you're in the audience,
21:55you may end up in the audience.
21:57Max Abrams does not dress like he's in the audience.
22:04and his opponent
22:06from Coffeyville, Kansas,
22:07wing in at 180 pounds,
22:12Cappuccino Jones!
22:14Well, that's really true wisdom
22:16from the mouth of the South right there,
22:17but Cappuccino Jones
22:19ready to lock in right now
22:21with the Evolve Universe.
22:23Raise your cup!
22:24Have you ever been to Coffeyville?
22:26I have not been to Coffeyville.
22:29You've never been to Coffeyville, Kansas.
22:30Have you ever been to Latte Larry's?
22:32I have been to Latte Larry's.
22:34Delightful, right?
22:35I'm a big spike guy.
22:36Yeah.
22:37I know you are.
22:39Good to see Cappuccino back in action.
22:41Talk about somebody who's undergone
22:43the ups and the downs on Wednesday nights.
22:46I mean, Cappuccino Jones
22:47has certainly been through the ringer,
22:48and now looking to come out better
22:49on the other side
22:50as you see Foreman Thatcher's security
22:52officially established right there.
22:53Shito Ash on the left,
22:55Victor Zonoff on the right,
22:56and those two have certainly made a difference
22:58since their first appearance on the ball.
22:59So apparently Foreman Thatcher
23:01just sends them out there
23:02to keep an eye on them?
23:03Have you not seen what the Mog Squad's done
23:04over the last few weeks?
23:05I guess you're right.
23:07Oh!
23:07Well, regardless of who's out there,
23:09Max Abrams has managed
23:10to lure Cappuccino Jones right out
23:12and stop his offense back in the ring
23:15and love it or hate it,
23:16with a smart, savvy, veteran-like move
23:18by the main man.
23:19Yeah, I still don't like it one bit.
23:21That much I know.
23:23Over the past several weeks,
23:24things have certainly gotten
23:25a lot more personal
23:26between these ID talents,
23:28specifically the Mog Squad
23:29and the likes of Cappuccino Jones,
23:32Sam Holloway,
23:33and of course,
23:34you know, looking at the last thing.
23:35Oh!
23:35Big dropkick.
23:36Oh, man.
23:38Big connections.
23:39Marcus Mathers indeed
23:40throw him in there as well.
23:41Great to see Marcus Mathers
23:42back as well.
23:43Absolutely.
23:44As Cappuccino Jones
23:45looking alone right here!
23:46Big elbow in the corner.
23:48I will tell you what,
23:50Cappuccino Jones,
23:50in my opinion,
23:51one of the best
23:52more athletes
23:53in all of Evolve.
23:56Oh!
23:56And the main man
23:57connects with the Enziguri
23:59as Cappuccino Jones
24:00goes down.
24:01And Peter,
24:01we touched on it,
24:02but how much adversity
24:03has Cappuccino Jones
24:04faced here on the other?
24:05He's dealt with everything.
24:06You name it.
24:06Oh!
24:06He has always found himself
24:08in the toughest spot possible.
24:11Only two.
24:12I don't know if he got all of them.
24:13But that's what's always
24:14impressed me about
24:15in the Cappuccino Jones.
24:16No matter what's kind of
24:17put in front of him,
24:19he keeps responding
24:20to every challenge.
24:21He just keeps on pushing forward.
24:23Now, there's a lot of pressure,
24:24in my opinion,
24:25for Max Abrams
24:26to win this matchup.
24:27He's now head of the Mog Squad.
24:29He's got himself
24:29a little team around him.
24:30And of course,
24:31as we heard very recently
24:33here on Evolve,
24:33here we go into the cover,
24:34hooks the outside leg.
24:35Last week, specifically,
24:37Max Abrams talking about
24:38wanting the main championship.
24:40And if you want to be
24:41the main man
24:41with the main man energy
24:42and the main championship,
24:44you've got to beat
24:44someone like Cappuccino Jones,
24:46a guy who's competed,
24:47who's within a whisker
24:49of becoming
24:50the Evolve champion himself.
24:51He's certainly been
24:52very close
24:53to securing the gold
24:54and fulfilling his goals
24:56here on Wednesday nights.
24:58And if you're Cappuccino Jones
24:59right now, Peter,
25:00somewhere in the back
25:01of your mind,
25:01you have to be wondering
25:02about Santi Rivera,
25:03Jakari Ball,
25:04C.J. Valor,
25:05the rest of the multiple.
25:07Yeah, absolutely.
25:08And how do you not think
25:09about those guys
25:10when they have made?
25:11Cap out of the corner
25:12with the head scissors.
25:14They have made their presence
25:15felt over and over again.
25:17So you'd have to be foolish
25:19to not be thinking about it.
25:20There's Jones.
25:21Oh!
25:24That's got to hurt.
25:25Met with the dropkick
25:26by Max Abrams.
25:28Oh!
25:29Both men
25:30with the same idea.
25:31Right there.
25:32That flipping blockbuster.
25:34Oh!
25:35And Capp able to hang on.
25:36You know,
25:36it's unfortunate,
25:37as much as I like
25:37to take some shots
25:38at Max Abrams dancing,
25:39his music,
25:40the way he pulls his tights,
25:41does his warm-up pants off,
25:43you cannot knock
25:45the guy in the ring.
25:46Certainly an incredible physique.
25:48He's been in some
25:48of the best shape
25:48of anybody on the Evolve roster
25:50since stepping foot on Tubi.
25:52He's solid.
25:53And there's a reason
25:54he was accepted
25:55at the Nightmare Factory
25:56and was a top pupil
25:57for Cody Rhodes.
25:58Indeed.
25:59And you can hear
26:00the Evolve universe
26:01right now
26:03rain down
26:03and a lack of respect
26:05coming here.
26:05The big man!
26:08But maybe took too much time.
26:09Misses the elbow.
26:10Got way up there.
26:12Going for that froggy brew.
26:13Yeah, he was trying
26:14to steal that froggy brew
26:15and did not pan out.
26:17And the high elevation
26:19sends Abrams up and over.
26:21And Cappuccino Jones
26:22with the shotgun dropkick
26:24in the corner.
26:25Cappuccino, man,
26:26a win over Max Abrams
26:27would go a long leg.
26:28And Cap starting
26:30to cook a bit here.
26:31The Evolve universe
26:32getting right behind him.
26:34And Jones,
26:36he's up top.
26:37He's going to fly!
26:40Cappuccino Jones!
26:41And that caffeine
26:42starting to kick in here, Peter.
26:43And Cappuccino Jones
26:44is a guy I see
26:45with an incredibly high ceiling.
26:46I can picture him
26:47on NXT.
26:48I can picture him
26:49anywhere in WWE.
26:50But you've got to
26:51score big wins.
26:53Beating the head
26:54of the Mog Squad
26:54would be a good first step.
26:56Cappuccino Jones
26:56and Max Abrams
26:57certainly look like
26:58they can follow
26:58the path of stars
26:59going from Wednesday
27:00to Tuesday night.
27:02It's a sit-out power bomb
27:03into the cover!
27:05Only two.
27:06We always talk about
27:07Peter Evolve
27:08seeing stars
27:09at the ground level.
27:09Cappuccino Jones,
27:10how about his growth
27:11and development
27:12ever since day one
27:13here on Tubi?
27:14It's been remarkable
27:15to see, you know?
27:16just to see
27:17week in and week out.
27:18Oh, and
27:19I think Capp
27:20was looking to end things.
27:22Max had a different plan.
27:23Nice counter!
27:25As these two
27:26going back and forth
27:26right here,
27:27Max Abrams
27:27stunned.
27:28Cappuccino Jones!
27:29Here could be the opening
27:30for Cappuccino Jones.
27:31With another big kick!
27:32And Abrams
27:33catches him with a knee.
27:35Back and forth
27:36we go here, Peter.
27:40First go to come.
27:41We've got a huge debut
27:41in Elijah Holyfield.
27:42but these two
27:43connect inside
27:44the center of the ring.
27:45Both Abrams is down,
27:46Cappuccino Jones is down.
27:48As Security
27:49turning around
27:50and...
27:50Oh, there you go.
27:52Looks like they're
27:52going to turn
27:52the mob squad away.
27:53There you go.
27:54Security doing their job.
27:55Oh!
27:56There's Holloway
27:57and Mathers.
27:58And now Security's
27:59getting her beat here.
28:00They don't want to see
28:00any physicality.
28:02Well, they're...
28:02Well, certainly getting
28:03physical there
28:03with Mathers.
28:04Yeah, they just
28:04threw Mathers
28:05right down to the ground
28:06on his head.
28:06and that's 285 pounds
28:08of Sam Holloway.
28:09These guys just
28:10ripping in the back.
28:11I do not envy
28:12the job of having
28:13to remove
28:14Hardway Holloway.
28:15Good Lord.
28:18The odds look
28:19to be even right now.
28:20He's back up
28:20on his feet.
28:22And Capp,
28:23he's looking up.
28:25Froggy Brew?
28:27Could it be?
28:28He's certainly
28:28looking for that
28:29Froggy Brew.
28:30And Abrams,
28:31where's he going?
28:32Abrams to the outside.
28:34What's Capp
28:34thinking now?
28:35And Jones!
28:36Flying through the air!
28:38All the way down
28:40from the top!
28:42And now Cappuccino Jones
28:44looking to capitalize.
28:46Sending Abrams back in.
28:48This is Capp's
28:49opportunity here, Peter.
28:50He's going back up again?
28:53Wait a minute.
28:55There's C.J. Fowler!
28:56The X-Factor,
28:57the Mog Squad!
29:00And somehow
29:01the Mog Squad
29:02still finds a way.
29:04Referee Vicky Diarico
29:05didn't see it.
29:07And now Max Abrams
29:08setting a mod
29:10with the main
29:12objective.
29:14And it's all
29:15Max Abrams.
29:18Here is your winner,
29:20Max Abrams!
29:24Well, by hook or
29:25by crook, Peter,
29:26the Mog Squad prevails.
29:30Well, this one's been brewing
29:31for weeks.
29:32Let's be honest.
29:33See what I did there?
29:34Brewing.
29:34Anyways,
29:35these guys,
29:36both young,
29:37both hungry,
29:37incredible talents.
29:38They held nothing back.
29:40And they went back
29:41and forth.
29:43An awesome matchup.
29:44And after a hard
29:45fought back and forth,
29:46you have the chaos
29:47on the outside.
29:48Out of nowhere,
29:50C.J. Fowler
29:50of the Mog Squad
29:51providing the assist,
29:53helping the main man
29:54steal the underhanded
29:56victory
29:56and put Cappuccino Jones
29:58on ice
29:59here tonight
30:00on 2.
30:01That main objective
30:03is becoming
30:03a major problem.
30:05Max Abrams
30:06has now put down
30:07on the Evolve champion
30:07Aaron Ward
30:08and Cappuccino Jones
30:09in consecutive weeks.
30:11And at some point,
30:12you have to start asking
30:13if the main man
30:14is closing in
30:15on the top of Evolve.
30:20That's right.
30:20That's the main man.
30:22Get the job done
30:23all by yourself.
30:29Hey, P.J. Voss said that.
30:31I'm here to watch
30:31the Women Evolve title match.
30:33And whoever wins that,
30:34they gonna come
30:35get they issue.
30:39This August.
30:43From the home
30:45of the Minnesota Vikings.
30:49To epic nights
30:50of WWE Summer Slam.
30:52Welcome, everyone,
30:53to the biggest event
30:54of the summer.
31:02Are you ready?
31:04Summer Slam.
31:05on Saturday,
31:06August 1st,
31:06and Sunday,
31:07August 2nd.
31:13Welcome back to Evolve.
31:18The following contest
31:20is scheduled for 1-4.
31:23Introducing first
31:24from Palo Alto, California,
31:26weighing in
31:27at 225-pound,
31:30Kai Kavari.
31:34Well, I know it's one of your
31:35favorite themes on Wednesday nights.
31:37I gotta tell you,
31:38I don't know how I feel
31:39about Kai Kavari,
31:40but his theme
31:41is a certified
31:42West Coast bomb.
31:43It definitely got
31:44the West Coast vibes,
31:45and of course,
31:46he has a lot of
31:47West Coast flavor
31:48competing and running back
31:49at Boise State and Oregon
31:50at the Division I level,
31:51and now looking to become
31:53the next breakout star
31:54on Wednesday nights.
31:55Well, if he's not careful,
31:58the only thing broken
31:59is going to be his jaw.
32:02And his opponent
32:03from Atlanta, Georgia,
32:05weighing in
32:06at 234 pounds,
32:11Elijah Holyfield!
32:14Well, certainly looking
32:15like the real deal
32:17here tonight.
32:18The Evolve Universe
32:19erupts for the official
32:20in-ring debut
32:22of Elijah Holyfield.
32:24How could you not
32:25be excited
32:26to see
32:28Elijah Holyfield?
32:31Of course,
32:32introduced
32:33to the WWE Universe
32:35on LFG
32:36seasons 1 and 2,
32:38overcame a bit
32:39of a bicep injury,
32:40but now he's 100% healthy,
32:41and he's ready to roll.
32:44And not only physically,
32:46but he brings the name
32:47to the table as well.
32:49Checks a lot of boxes,
32:50does this kid.
32:51And Peter,
32:52oftentimes we talk about
32:53pressure in situations.
32:55It is his in-ring debut.
32:56There's a lot of fanfare
32:57behind him.
32:58How much pressure
32:59is on Elijah Holyfield
33:00to deliver here tonight?
33:01Well, I think
33:01if your last name's Holyfield
33:03and you're a pro athlete,
33:04there are some expectations.
33:06I mean, your dad
33:07is a guy who debuts
33:09as a light heavyweight,
33:11becomes a cruiserweight,
33:13eventually beats Mike Tyson
33:15and his heavyweight champion
33:16of the world.
33:17Elijah Holyfield
33:18certainly brings
33:19an incredible pedigree
33:20of his own.
33:20A former running back
33:21at the University of Georgia.
33:24Wow, an offensive burst
33:25from the rookie.
33:26He had stopped
33:26across several NFL franchises,
33:28but now it seems
33:29he has found
33:29his true calling
33:30right here inside
33:31the squared circle.
33:32Well, that's what
33:32I'm so interested about
33:33is just getting to see
33:34more of him
33:35and how he performs
33:37in the ring
33:37in actual competition.
33:38Look at the explosiveness
33:39right here!
33:41Spinebuster out of the corner.
33:42Oh, man.
33:43And, Peter,
33:43it's pretty interesting.
33:44We're looking at two former
33:45Division I running backs
33:46right now,
33:47but built completely different.
33:51Wait for it, Peter.
33:52He's setting him up.
33:54Bam!
33:56Right underneath the chin!
33:58And Elijah Holyfield
34:00is the real deal.
34:05Here is your winner,
34:10Elijah Holyfield!
34:13What an incredible debut
34:15for Elijah Holyfield.
34:18Wow.
34:19Wow.
34:19Wow.
34:20All right,
34:20looking back at this one.
34:22Right here,
34:22the spinebuster.
34:25All building
34:26to the crushing uppercut.
34:29Just like that,
34:31welcome to evolve.
34:32One,
34:33two,
34:34three.
34:34Elijah Holyfield.
34:37Talk about making
34:38a huge statement
34:39in your first appearance
34:41Wednesday nights
34:42on Tubi.
34:43Holyfield certainly
34:44looks like the real deal,
34:45but, Peter,
34:46I understand now
34:46Mr. England
34:47has a few gripes.
34:49Protect the whole team!
34:52Last week
34:53was an international
34:54tragedy.
34:55There I am,
34:57fingertips away
34:58from rightfully winning
35:00the men's
35:01Evolve Championship
35:02from Aaron Rourke
35:03when he narrowly
35:04escapes
35:05with an uninspiring
35:07victory.
35:08And to make matters
35:09even worse,
35:11I didn't have a second
35:12to process this
35:13or act in retaliation
35:15as the Mog Squad
35:16would immediately
35:17start their bid
35:19to be the next
35:20contenders.
35:21But I am not done
35:22with that championship.
35:24Aaron,
35:25that was not
35:26a convincing victory.
35:27Everybody knows
35:28that was not
35:29a convincing victory.
35:31And the Mog Squad,
35:32those imbeciles,
35:33are merely a snippet
35:35of the so-called
35:36contenders
35:37on the men's
35:38Evolve roster.
35:40People who,
35:41for some reason,
35:41think they have a right
35:42to hold championship gold
35:44when they couldn't even
35:45hold my job strap.
35:47Braxton Cole,
35:48a trust fund baby
35:50who is cruising
35:51through life
35:52at the expense
35:52of his father,
35:54Harlem Lewis,
35:55who would look
35:56more suitable
35:56leading a gang
35:57of motorcyclists
35:59than the men's
36:00Evolve division.
36:01And finally,
36:02Chaz Starboy Hall.
36:05Now, Chazza,
36:06I think that nickname
36:07is brilliant for you
36:09given your childlike stature.
36:12The point is,
36:13there is a difference
36:14between wannabe champions
36:15and men like me
36:17who are born with gold
36:18running through their veins.
36:19and in all honesty,
36:21I believe Evolve
36:22is crying out
36:23for somebody like me
36:24to grab the reins
36:25and lead it
36:26into the future.
36:29So Aaron Rourke,
36:29know this.
36:31You may have won
36:32this chapter,
36:33but the story
36:34is far,
36:35far from over.
36:37And it does not end
36:38until Mr. England,
36:40Tristan Angels,
36:42is standing over you
36:43and hoisting
36:44the newly won
36:46men's Evolve championship
36:48above his head.
36:55Salty one
36:56is that Tristan Ames.
36:57Well,
36:58that's sort of his brand,
36:59you know?
37:00Certainly seems to be
37:01as we're set
37:02for a huge main event
37:04right here, Peter.
37:05What a week
37:05it's been on Evolve.
37:06The debut
37:07of Elijah Holyfield.
37:09Yeah,
37:10and he made
37:10an impression
37:11quickly.
37:12Lee,
37:13holy smokes,
37:14that uppercut
37:15would certainly
37:16make the old man proud.
37:18And of course,
37:19for bullying
37:20by Cam Hendricks
37:21and Harley Riggins,
37:22but right now,
37:22Sloan Jacobs
37:24back in the WWE
37:25here on Evolve.
37:27The ultimate opportunist
37:28looking to take
37:29full advantage
37:30and win her
37:31first championship
37:32in the WWE
37:33here tonight.
37:37Sloan Jacobs
37:38earned this opportunity
37:39last week
37:39in tag team action
37:40alongside Nikita Lyons.
37:42Big Cat Keita
37:43rocked Champ Chu
37:43with a devastating
37:44spin kick.
37:45But before
37:46Big Cat Keita
37:47could make the cover,
37:48Laney Luck
37:48cut her off
37:49and Jacobs
37:49was in the right place
37:50at the right time
37:51to capitalize,
37:52secure the victory
37:52and earn
37:53the championship
37:54opportunity.
37:58Sloan Jacobs
38:0023 years old.
38:03Very, very new.
38:04Of course,
38:04this is her
38:05second time around,
38:06made her way
38:06back to WWE.
38:07But Wendy Chu,
38:08an established veteran,
38:09earned her way
38:10to the top.
38:14As Wendy Chu
38:15on her way out here,
38:16but she's certainly
38:17looking to make
38:18her second title defense
38:19right here tonight.
38:22As Champ Chu is here
38:23with all the confidence
38:24in the world.
38:25But the difference is,
38:27Sloan Jacobs now appears
38:28to be sitting under
38:28the learning tree
38:29of one Nikita Lyons.
38:33First of all,
38:33that's an interesting tree
38:34to be honest, right?
38:36The fruit coming off
38:37of that tree,
38:37I'm not saying
38:38it's poison,
38:39but it may be
38:40a little,
38:40it's really fruitful.
38:41It's fruitful
38:42and it might taste
38:42a little different.
38:43You know what I mean?
38:44Nikita is her own
38:45kind of cat.
38:47And also,
38:48I have some question marks
38:49based on the face
38:49Nikita made last week
38:50about how excited
38:51she is to see
38:52her prized pupil
38:54in this spot.
39:06is for the Evolve Women's
39:09Championship.
39:10The following contest
39:15scheduled for one fall
39:17is for
39:19the Evolve Women's
39:21Women's Championship.
39:25Introducing the challenger
39:27from Westchester,
39:31Sloan Jacobs.
39:41And her opponents
39:43from the city
39:45that never sleeps.
39:47She is
39:48the Evolve Women's Champion,
39:53Wendy Chew!
40:01So here we go,
40:03huge main event.
40:08It's go time, baby.
40:09Let's get into it.
40:10Just three weeks
40:11from Succession 3.
40:14And take a look
40:15at the VIP.
40:15look who's back,
40:17P.J. Vassa.
40:18And of course,
40:19Carmen Petrovic.
40:20P.J. Vassa.
40:21I've never seen her
40:21in such a relaxed state
40:23before.
40:23I guess she's not too worried
40:24about people recognizing
40:25her name right across
40:27the fan.
40:27And here we go,
40:28right off the bell,
40:29Wendy Chew bringing the fight
40:30right to Sloan Jacobs.
40:32And Peter,
40:32earlier it was confirmed
40:33the winner of this matchup
40:34will defend
40:35the Evolve Women's Championship.
40:37Here we go,
40:37quick cover there
40:38by Sloan Jacobs.
40:39Will defend
40:40the Evolve Women's Championship
40:41against Nikita Lyons
40:43at Succession 3
40:44on June 24th.
40:45I gotta tell you,
40:46Blake,
40:46that's exactly
40:46what I expected.
40:47You know what Succession's
40:48all about.
40:49The question remains,
40:51though,
40:51who will be
40:52the champion?
40:53You have to wonder
40:54how much pressure
40:55does that add
40:55to this title matchup?
40:56Here we go,
40:57into the cover of
40:58the dropkick.
40:58Only two.
40:59Sloan Jacobs was once
41:00to the next stage.
41:00She was let go,
41:01and now she's back
41:02through WWE ID.
41:03And tonight,
41:04beating Wendy Chew
41:05would complete
41:05her redemption story.
41:06Well,
41:07if you're Wendy Chew,
41:07finally winning
41:08championship gold.
41:09But on the other side,
41:10Sloan Jacobs has battled
41:11her way back
41:12for a second chance.
41:13And tonight,
41:14she has the opportunity
41:15to take everything
41:16she's worked for
41:17and turn it into
41:18the biggest victory
41:19of her career.
41:20As Wendy Chew
41:21in control right now,
41:22Sloan Jacobs
41:23trying to get back
41:23to her feet.
41:24But who's walking out
41:25of the ball?
41:25Women's Champion.
41:28How does an event
41:30become an experience?
41:33This is how.
41:37This is why.
41:42This is WrestleMania.
41:45We know what it means
41:47to our country,
41:49but what could it mean
41:51to a kingdom?
41:55WrestleMania.
41:57For the first time ever
41:58from the kingdom
42:00of Saudi Arabia.
42:02A phenomenon
42:03so incredible
42:04it would need
42:05to be experienced
42:07to be believed.
42:14Back in action
42:15here on Evolve.
42:16Huge main event
42:17and Peter's for right there.
42:18The richest prize
42:19in the Evolve
42:20women's division.
42:20Wendy Chew,
42:21Sloan Jacobs
42:22as these two have been
42:23back and forth
42:23over the last couple
42:24of minutes.
42:24Absolutely.
42:25One of the things
42:25that I love about
42:26matchups like this
42:27is just seeing
42:27what a young talent
42:28like Sloan Jacobs
42:29is.
42:30Win or loss,
42:31does she step up
42:33as you see
42:33P.J. Vasa
42:34and Carmen Petrovic
42:35looking on.
42:36Hold on,
42:36a little bit of...
42:37There we go.
42:38Jacobs pounding away
42:39on Wendy Chew.
42:40It looks like
42:40a bit of an argument
42:41right there.
42:41You have to wonder,
42:42those two probably feel
42:43like they should be
42:44the top content.
42:44And if I'm Carmen Petrovic,
42:45I'm not getting any argument
42:46VIP with P.J. Vasa.
42:49Whatever she said,
42:50it's fine.
42:51Typically,
42:52P.J. Vasa one
42:53you don't want to start
42:53an argument with,
42:54but Carmen Petrovic
42:55certainly could back up
42:56her own words.
42:57You see right there
42:58on the near side
42:58of our screen,
42:59Nikita Lyons
43:00even sharing some words
43:01with the VIP.
43:02Yeah,
43:02everyone seems to
43:03want to come
43:04get their issue today.
43:05I never want
43:06to go get my issue.
43:07And of course,
43:07we saw that
43:08on a little mini
43:09several weeks ago.
43:10A lot of these stars
43:11in that matchup
43:12and the issues
43:13might not be able...
43:15So Sloane Jacobs
43:16so far in this matchup
43:18holding her own.
43:19Putting the work in,
43:20drops the leg,
43:21it's the outside legs.
43:23And a near fall there
43:25for Sloane Jacobs.
43:26But, Peter,
43:26either way,
43:27you have to tip your cap
43:28to Sloane Jacobs.
43:29Immense improvements
43:30in her game
43:31since returning
43:31to the WWE.
43:32Oh, yeah,
43:33think about it.
43:33She had an opportunity.
43:34It went away.
43:35She actually went
43:36and tried out again.
43:39Tries out for the WWE again.
43:41Finds her way back
43:42to the Performance Center.
43:43And now here she is
43:44on Tubi
43:45on a Wednesday night
43:45with a championship
43:46opportunity.
43:47That's a lot of pressure.
43:48Certainly no lack
43:49of humility
43:50in Sloane Jacobs,
43:51but what we've seen
43:51over the last few weeks,
43:52we certainly can call her
43:54that ultimate opportunist.
43:56Now she's kind of
43:57in control
43:58of this matchup
43:59against the Venn
43:59champ,
44:00Wendy Chiu.
44:01Whether it's
44:01Lainey Luck,
44:02whether it's
44:03Wendy Chiu,
44:04and the twisting
44:05elevated suplex.
44:06Sloane Jacobs
44:07into the cover.
44:08Will we have
44:08a new champion?
44:09Can you imagine?
44:11And Sloane certainly
44:12thought that was
44:12enough, Peter.
44:14Well, I'm here
44:15to inform Sloane
44:16as much as she's learned
44:16as the Performance Center,
44:17you need a full three count
44:19to win the match.
44:20As Sloane Jacobs
44:21continuing to try
44:21to wear down
44:22champ Chiu right here.
44:26As Wendy Chiu
44:29trying to get back
44:29in this matchup,
44:30you see more
44:31of an argument
44:32here in the VIP.
44:34By the way,
44:34maybe you guys
44:35shouldn't be hanging out.
44:38And Peter,
44:38how about some more
44:39breaking news
44:40coming down right now?
44:41You're going to love
44:41this one next week,
44:42the It's Gall
44:43Open Challenge.
44:45Are you serious?
44:46It's official.
44:47That is something
44:48I can really
44:49look forward to.
44:51And after what
44:51we saw earlier tonight,
44:52also official,
44:53Cappuccino Jones,
44:54Marcus Mathers,
44:55and Sam Holloway
44:56against the Mog Squad,
44:57it's six-man tag team match.
44:59What a lineup.
45:01And I'll tell you what,
45:01in spite of the fact
45:02that I scored a zero
45:03on the Stodometer,
45:04I'm still excited
45:05to see what It's Gall
45:06brings to the
45:06It's Gall Open Challenge.
45:07And certainly wonder
45:08who's going to answer
45:08that Open Challenge.
45:09We knew this week's
45:10episode of Mog was loaded.
45:12Next week looks to be
45:13even more impactful
45:15as Wendy Chiu right now,
45:17that Hammerlock clothesline.
45:20And you know
45:20everything Wendy Chiu
45:21is really just
45:23softening you up
45:24to get that dirt now.
45:25That's what she's
45:25looking for every time.
45:26as Wendy
45:27looking to seal the deal.
45:30Oh.
45:33Oh.
45:34Are you getting the sense
45:35that Nikita Lyons
45:36is rooting Sloan on
45:38or just sort of observing?
45:39She's been quite passive
45:40there in the corner
45:41as there's a Molly go-round,
45:43taking one out
45:43of the Evolved Champions
45:44playbook.
45:46Didn't connect with all of it,
45:47only two for Wendy.
45:49Wendy Chiu's second title
45:51defense still chasing
45:52her first successful one
45:53after Sloan and Nikita
45:54ruined the last attempt.
45:57of course in that
45:58first title defense
45:59broken up
45:59by one Sloan Jenkins.
46:01And Sloan
46:01with a counter here
46:02to the cover.
46:03Nice reversal
46:03by Wendy.
46:04Back and forth we go.
46:08As the challenger
46:09stood in the champion,
46:11there's the face buster.
46:13Cover Peter.
46:14Center of the ring.
46:15And you know it didn't sit
46:17well with Wendy Chiu
46:18that she has her first
46:18title defense
46:19and doesn't actually
46:20retain with a win.
46:21She wants to actually
46:23do it the right way.
46:24She took no satisfaction
46:25of it.
46:26And it looks like
46:27Nikita Lyons
46:28not very satisfied
46:29with the offensive output
46:31right now,
46:31the challenge.
46:32No, big cat Kita.
46:33She's getting into it
46:34with the VIP section,
46:36with the crowd.
46:37Wendy slipping out
46:37the back door.
46:41As Sloan
46:43getting Wendy
46:43caught in the fishnets.
46:45Yeah, this is one
46:45of the more interesting
46:46things Sloan Jacobs
46:47brings to the table.
46:49As Jacobs,
46:51she might be starting
46:52to think about
46:52that siren song, Peter.
46:54If she can lock
46:54in that submission,
46:55I don't know if there's
46:56anywhere for Wendy Chiu
46:57to go.
46:57If she's going to the top,
46:58she needs to move
46:59faster than that
46:59because the champ
47:00ain't gonna let you
47:01take your sweet ass time,
47:03pardon the expression,
47:04to get to the top rope.
47:05We're certainly getting
47:06into the deep waters
47:07of this matchup
47:07as Wendy Chiu
47:09looking for that
47:10superplex.
47:12All the way down.
47:14And Wendy's
47:14going to roll with her.
47:15Look at the perseverance
47:17of Jeff Chiu.
47:19Brain Buster.
47:20Cover.
47:21Wendy Chiu.
47:27As Wendy's got to be
47:28feeling a level
47:28of frustration here,
47:29Peter.
47:30Well, listen.
47:31She knows.
47:32She is expected.
47:33She is a favorite
47:34going into this matchup
47:35with Sloan Jacobs.
47:36She is expected
47:37to take this title
47:39into succession three.
47:40She's looking
47:40for the dirt nap.
47:41Is it hooked in?
47:43Jacobs trying to counter,
47:45trying to move
47:45any direction she can.
47:48Gets Chiu in the corner.
47:50And Sloan
47:51creates the separation.
47:55Uh-oh.
47:56And she's got her
47:56in that backpack position.
47:58Uh-oh.
47:58Oh!
47:59Goodness gracious.
48:00And drops Chiu face first.
48:02Sloan Jacobs now.
48:04Firmly in the driver's seat.
48:06Not getting the sense
48:07of the Evolve universe.
48:08Huge, huge fans
48:09of Sloan Jacobs.
48:10And Jacobs right
48:10in front of the Lions.
48:12Drops the elbow.
48:13Nikita looks at pressed.
48:14Cover.
48:15Hooks the outside leg.
48:172-7-8.
48:19Somehow,
48:19Wendy Chiu presses out.
48:21Well,
48:22this thing has already
48:22gotten more complicated
48:24than Wendy Chiu
48:25would have liked.
48:29As you have to wonder
48:30how much deeper
48:30in the playbook
48:31can Sloan Jacobs go.
48:32Siren song.
48:33She has it locked in.
48:34This is not where
48:36Wendy Chiu wants to be.
48:37Fingers interlocked
48:38underneath the chin,
48:39but Wendy's starting
48:40to slide towards
48:41that bottom rope.
48:42Nikita Lyons manipulating it.
48:44Can't do it.
48:46Vicky DeRico's right there.
48:47What are you doing, Keith?
48:49Uh-oh.
48:50Watch out.
48:50And Wendy
48:51turned out
48:52from the seated position.
48:53Sloan rolls through.
48:55Near fall.
48:56And Wendy
48:57gets caught
48:58as Jacobs now
49:00tries the slingshot.
49:02Oh, man.
49:03That's going to stun Wendy.
49:05Champ is in trouble here.
49:07Into an electric chair position
49:10as Wendy trying to counter
49:13slips out the back
49:14into the doornail.
49:15She has it locked in.
49:18Wendy Chiu
49:19has slowed Jacobs down.
49:21She's going to tap
49:22and the champ perseveres.
49:26Here is her winner
49:28as a result of submission
49:30and still
49:31the Evolved Women's Champion
49:36Wendy Chiu.
49:39Talk about a battle, Peter,
49:41but at the end of the night
49:42Wendy Chiu perseveres
49:44and is still
49:45your Evolved Women's Champion.
49:48What a huge opportunity
49:50for Sloan Jacobs
49:51so early in her Evolved career.
49:53She held her own.
49:55Surprising the champion,
49:56showing why she's earned
49:57this moment,
49:58but in the end
49:58Wendy Chiu
49:59cashing in
50:00on that championship experience
50:02all the way
50:03and now
50:04continues to sit atop
50:06the Evolved Women's Division
50:08with a successful
50:09title defense
50:10here on Wednesday night.
50:12And Wendy Chiu
50:13back to her feet
50:13right now.
50:16As the challengers
50:17continue to stack up
50:18here for Wendy Chiu.
50:20Oh, Nikita just
50:21swatted away her partner.
50:24Wendy Chiu turns around
50:25and there it is.
50:27It is now official
50:28June 24th
50:29at Evolved Succession 3.
50:31Wendy Chiu defends
50:32her championship
50:33against Nikita Lyons
50:35who now has
50:36the biggest opportunity
50:37of her career.
50:41Looks like another argument
50:42starting to break out
50:44here in the VIP lounge.
50:47Oh!
50:48Carmen Petrovic,
50:49PJ Vassa
50:49going back and forth.
50:50Officials trying to separate them.
50:52This one's starting
50:53to ramp up even more.
50:54our Succession 3
50:55title match is set.
50:57But we'll see this battle
50:58to be continued
50:59next week.
