00:07Then, now, forever, together.
00:33Tick-tock, it's a volume o'clock, and succession time is the right time.
00:37Why?
00:38Because in one week, it's succession three.
00:41Hot dog, I'm excited!
00:43I'm also excited for tonight's featured tag-team bout.
00:46There's Romeo Moreno and Noam Dar vs. Cam Hendricks and Harley Riggins.
00:51We will also see Tristan Angels vs. Chaz Starboy-Hall.
00:55We'll see Elijah Holyfield vs. Brooks Jensen.
00:58And we'll see Zena Sterling vs. Anya Rue.
01:02Mr. Foreman Thatcher, sir?
01:04Oh, Champ Chu! Come on in, Champ Chu! Come on!
01:06Hey, sorry, is this a bad time? I just came a little bit early so I can sign the contract
01:10for succession.
01:11Oh, that's okay. I'll just run down the card.
01:13But yes, we need to make it official.
01:16Oh, thank you.
01:16You and Miss Nikita Lyons for the Evolve Women's Championship.
01:22Wonderful!
01:24Well, Nikita has been a lion that I cannot tame for the past few weeks, and I'm sick of it!
01:30This ends at succession.
01:32But tonight, I got my eye on Anya vs. Zena because you never know who your next contender gonna be.
01:37You know what I mean?
01:38I do, I do. By the way, who do you think is gonna win that match?
01:43Ooh, that's a tough one. But I think I'm gonna go with Anya.
01:47Choo Woo!
01:49Thank you, Foreman!
01:50All right, bye, Champ Chu!
01:53I guess we're gonna have to find out. That's why we have these matches!
01:57Well, Foreman Thatcher cooking up a huge night. The stars are out one week before Succession 3.
02:02The star of Safe Space, Tubi's own KevOnStage has arrived.
02:06And KevOnStage is here at the PC!
02:09Woo! I'm a huge fan!
02:11I can't wait, Peter.
02:37Well, it's another huge night on Tubi. Just one week before Succession 3.
02:41But it's time for the real deal!
02:45Oh!
02:49The following contest is schedule 4-1-4.
02:53And 2-2-1 from Atlanta, Georgia.
02:56We're in at 234 pounds.
03:01Elijah Holyfield!
03:03As we officially welcome you in, Blake Howard alongside Peter Rosenberg.
03:07And Peter, I know you're ready for Elijah Holyfield.
03:10From the second we saw Elijah Holyfield in the VIP, we knew we were in for something very special here
03:19on Evolve.
03:20You know the championship DNA, but look at the physique on Elijah Holyfield.
03:24He's ready to roll and, of course, keep an eye out for that uppercut!
03:32And his opponent, from Ranburn, Alabama, weighing in at 255 pounds, Brooks Jensen!
03:42Coming to us right here from Ranburn, Alabama, and Peter, as always, a chip on this star's shoulder.
03:51I have to tell you, as excited as I am about Elijah Holyfield, if I'm Elijah, I'm kind of looking
03:58at my management going,
03:59did we want to get things started this early with Brooks Jensen?
04:03We saw his debut against Kai Kavari, of course, an up-and-comer here on Evolve, but Brooks Jensen, a
04:08tried and true veteran.
04:09We've seen him on NXT, premium live events, former NXT UK Tag Team Champion.
04:13And now Brooks Jensen provides the biggest test of Elijah Holyfield's young career.
04:17Yeah, it's just such a huge gap from the debut of Elijah Holyfield to now Brooks Jensen.
04:23This is a guy who you could be having a premium live event championship match with one day.
04:29That's how big a star Brooks Jensen could be.
04:31I give Elijah Holyfield credit for taking this on, but it's a major risk.
04:36And Peter, going back to that debut against Kai Kavari, how impressive was Elijah Holyfield?
04:41The thing that stood out to me the most was just, Blake, the fact that it looked like Elijah had
04:46been there before.
04:48He did not seem at all nervous because of the bright lights.
04:53He appeared ready. Very, very impressive in his debut.
04:56And, of course, you have to watch out for that uppercut, Peter.
04:58You saw that body shot right to the ribs there.
05:00Brooks Jensen shaking the veteran right there, but Brooks looking to get back on track right here.
05:05And for Brooks Jensen, how badly does he need a win there?
05:08Well, if you're Brooks Jensen, a guy who we know has been absolutely relentless in pursuit of trying to make
05:16it to the top of Evolve,
05:17and get that Evolve championship, no matter how highly touted Elijah Holyfield is, you can't afford a loss to a
05:23youngster like Elijah.
05:24Indeed, you cannot. Look at the athleticism right there of Elijah's Brooks Jensen looking to take over right now.
05:30Of course, Foreman Thatcher certainly has his eyes on this one just one week before Succession Three.
05:35Both championships will be on the line next week as Elijah creating some separation.
05:39And look at the power of that left, Peter.
05:41Yeah. And look at Brooks Jensen in a bad way early on.
05:44And you just brought it up. How bad would he need this win?
05:47Oof!
05:47And there you go. The savvy ring IQ from Brooks Jensen.
05:52But he is a guy who is willing to get in there in every single situation.
05:55Obviously, we know his history with things like the bull rope match.
05:58We know what Brooks Jensen is capable of.
06:00But he's putting a lot on the line here against maybe as dangerous a rookie as there is in Evolve
06:06with Elijah Holyfield.
06:07And ever since Brooks Jensen came to Evolve, he's been seeking championship gold.
06:10And of course, has been unsuccessful in winning that title.
06:13And right now, you have to imagine that has to be driving him right here.
06:17As Holyfield trying to create some separation, but Brooks Jensen in full control right now as these two square off.
06:23And of course, Peter, to end the night, we're going to see a big face off regarding the Evolve championship.
06:27Of course, that match coming up next week. Here we go. Cover.
06:31Only a one right there for Brooks Jensen.
06:36Back to work. Brooks Jensen.
06:38This is what makes him such a sort of grizzled seeming veteran.
06:43He loves to ground and pound. He loves that old school.
06:47And listen, Elijah, you want to learn the wrestling business.
06:49You're going to learn a little bit in there with a guy like Brooks Jensen.
06:51Indeed, as Jensen controlling the pace right now.
06:55The stars are out right now.
06:56Taking a look at all the action right here as Brooks Jensen in control.
07:00And you certainly feel the buzz right now surrounding Evolve.
07:03Once again, Succession 3, just seven days from right now.
07:06All the stars trying to line up and impress Foreman Thatcher.
07:10Brooks Jensen, a guy who he fancies himself the face of Evolve.
07:14But of course, he has not been able to match that with championship gold.
07:17I was going to say, Peter, to be the case of Evolve, you have to carry championship gold.
07:21And we've talked about Brooks unsuccessful in doing so.
07:23But very successful right now in controlling Elijah Holyfield.
07:27Really unlike anyone we've ever seen, whether it be LFG or here on Evolve.
07:32I don't know right now you want to take this kind of disrespect to Holyfield.
07:38And Peter, he's starting to feel it right now.
07:40But look at Elijah Holyfield.
07:43Is he even feeling this?
07:44Oh, my God.
07:45The speed dunking under those punches from Jensen and then responding.
07:48Making that liver quiver right there as Holyfield off the ropes, exploring right through Brooks Jensen.
07:55And we talk a lot about that Holyfield uppercut you got to look out for.
07:59But what about the athleticism in general from this guy?
08:02I mean, wonder what kind of test the veteran Brooks Jensen could be for Elijah Holyfield in only a second
08:06matchup here on Evolve.
08:07We knew it was a huge signing when Foreman Thatcher was able to put pen to paper and bring Holyfield
08:11to Wednesday night.
08:12The turnbuckle goes flying.
08:14Well, Jensen pulled the turnbuckle off.
08:16Sensing desperation perhaps.
08:18That spinebuster keeps Holyfield in control.
08:21He might be looking to unleash the beast right here, Peter.
08:23But now we got an exposed top turnbuckle.
08:25Thanks to Brooks Jensen.
08:27And those punches continue to rain down and Jensen trying to slip out.
08:31Oh, Jensen.
08:32Oh!
08:33Pulls that foot.
08:34Holyfield's face connects with that exposed turnbuckle.
08:37And Brooks Jensen steals a victory.
08:41Here's your winner, Brooks Jensen!
08:46And Peter, we're talking about desperation.
08:49Brooks Jensen had a trick up his sleeve here against Elijah Holyfield.
08:52Hey, hey, hey, listen.
08:53Blake, I said it.
08:55The ring IQ.
08:56You may not like it.
08:57It very well may have been intentional, but Brooks Jensen found a way.
09:00Let's take a look back earlier.
09:02You see the power from Elijah.
09:05And then Brooks Jensen finding the reversal.
09:08There's the turnbuckle.
09:10Maybe intentionally exposed by Brooks Jensen.
09:13And moments later, it pays off.
09:17Jensen knew he needed a little something extra to take out the rookie.
09:20And, of course, you talk about that ring IQ, that resourcefulness.
09:24Brooks Jensen comes with a huge victory one week before Succession 3.
09:29And, man, Elijah Holyfield not going to be happy about losing his second match in Evolve because of that.
09:35But very smart work for Brooks.
09:38And, of course, right now we see our crew getting things ready right now.
09:41Chewy Martinez set to sit down with Aaron Roark the champion and his challenger Max Abrams in that big face
09:48-to-face coming up later tonight here on Evolve.
09:59Get that air guitar ready.
10:00Oh, yeah, baby.
10:02It's Starboy time.
10:06The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
10:11Introducing first from Pacifica, California, weighing in at 157 pounds,
10:16Chazz Starboy Hall.
10:20Feeling the vibes here of Chazz Starboy Hall.
10:23The ID prospect came in hot to Evolve and looks to keep the momentum rolling here tonight.
10:28He is one of the most fun talents in all of pro wrestling right now, in my opinion.
10:33And he has lit up Evolve.
10:36He's ready to take flight and singles action as he goes one-on-one with Tristan Angels when we come
10:41back on Evolve.
10:46On Saturday, June 27th.
10:49Returning to Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia.
10:54It's a night of glory.
10:58A night of greatness.
11:01A night of champions.
11:10Live from Kingdom Arena.
11:18Welcome back to Evolve.
11:20And, Peter, you've been bopping all break.
11:21I can't stop bopping, all right?
11:23I'm a big bopper.
11:24What can I say?
11:24Especially when I see Starboy.
11:26This is one of those guys, man.
11:27Every time you get a chance to see him, he impresses more and more.
11:35This is your kind of guy.
11:36I don't like that.
11:39And his opponent, from First City, playing in at 235 pounds, Tristan Angels!
11:50Well, Peter, one thing you can't dispute, he came to Evolve and made an immediate impact.
11:53We've seen him with a championship opportunity already against Aaron Rohr.
11:56He's had NXT opportunities as well, and Tristan Angels, a star that's ready to continue to rise here on Wednesday.
12:03Yeah, I can't help but think with both of these guys.
12:06The unfortunate part is, they're so talented, I don't know how long we'll be able to be calling their matches
12:12here on Evolve.
12:12Because the sky is the limit for Tristan Angels and Starboy.
12:17But that's also one of the special things about Evolve.
12:19You see the initial appearances of Chaz, Starboy Hall.
12:21You see Tristan Angels' WWE debut.
12:24And now, look at them expanding their horizons.
12:26Of course, Chaz, Starboy Hall.
12:29We've seen him in NXT.
12:30We've seen him in TNA Wrestling.
12:32And of course, Tristan Angels.
12:33A lot of appearances recently in NXT.
12:35So both of these stars, certainly on the rise.
12:38Absolutely.
12:38I think we will remember, we'll look back one day and go,
12:41Hey, remember what we called that early match with Tristan Angels and Starboy Hall?
12:46That's exactly what's gonna happen.
12:47Because both of these guys are incredible.
12:49A clash of styles a bit though, Blake.
12:51Indeed.
12:52Both with PLE potential in their futures right now as Chaz, Starboy Hall.
12:55Looking to go south of the border right now.
12:57And look at that one right there with that Mexican arm drag.
13:00Beautifully done by Chaz!
13:01And the dropkick sending Tristan Angels into the corner.
13:07Chaz Hall, a guy who when he showed up that first night here on Evolve,
13:10A lot of people on the internet went crazy.
13:12They did not expect Starboy to pop up on Evolve.
13:16And ever since he got here, he has delivered on that reputation that he's had on the internet for a
13:21long time.
13:22He did have that first championship opportunity against Aaron Rourke.
13:25And now Peter, as he tries to reset himself, how does Hall get back into that championship contention?
13:29I think he just does what he's been doing.
13:31I mean, the fact of the matter is he came up just short with that championship opportunity, but it was
13:35so early.
13:36But he has impressed every single time we've seen him.
13:39As you mentioned, not just Yarn Evolve, but NXT as well.
13:42I think he's just got to keep going forward and string together some wins.
13:46But you see the star potential.
13:48And I think Timothy Thatcher, our foreman, he's the man who makes the calls.
13:51And he knows just how potentially a star we have in Starboy.
13:58As Tristan Angel's in control right now, and Peter, we talked about it earlier on, but that big face-off
14:03coming up later on tonight.
14:04Max Abrams, the challenger, Aaron Rourke, the champion.
14:07Huge showdown at Succession 3 next week.
14:10Absolutely.
14:10And of course, later on Cam Hendricks and Harley Riggins going up against Noam Dar.
14:16And Romeo Moreno.
14:17And Romeo Moreno.
14:18You talk about another great youngster to be excited about.
14:20And talk about a grudge match.
14:21I mean, that's something with Romeo Moreno.
14:23He's certainly looking to get some revenge on Harley Riggins and Cam Hendricks.
14:26Yeah, he was done dirty by both of those guys.
14:29Add him to the list by the way.
14:30Romeo Moreno not the first to be done dirty.
14:32Real cover.
14:32Hooks the outside leg.
14:33Only two there for Angel's.
14:34Who's the daddy?
14:36You are!
14:39The Evolved Universe agreeing that Tristan Angel's is the daddy, apparently.
14:43Well, he's certainly not Mr. NXT, but we'll see what he does right here as Tristan Angel's doing some trash
14:48talking to Chas Starboy Hall.
14:51You know he was the most handsome man in the UK.
14:54In all of the world, if you ask.
15:03And of course, Peter, we talked about Chas Starboy Hall in Championship contention.
15:07How close was Tristan Angel to becoming the Evolved champion?
15:09Oh, I mean, a whisker.
15:11Here we go.
15:12Clothesline.
15:13Cover.
15:14Two.
15:15Right on the cusp yet again.
15:16Absolutely a whisker away from the championship.
15:19But you know what?
15:20That's one of the things that has defined Aaron Rourke's title reign, is he has been in tough matches.
15:24He has been a fighting champion.
15:26And by hook or by crook, Rourke has found a way to get out with the championship every single time.
15:31As Angel's in control right now, and of course, did represent England in that 2024 Mr. International pageant.
15:39I just love that Tristan Angel is simultaneously like a tough guy and a pageant guy.
15:44You don't see that all the time in pro wrestling.
15:47But Peter, to that point, I mean, why does he think he's above everyone on the Evolved?
15:50Well, look at him, Blake.
15:52Look at him.
15:52What about him?
15:53He's in incredible shape, handsome man, lush, beautiful blonde hair.
15:57And then on top of that, in all seriousness, he backs it up with incredible skills in the ring.
16:04You may not like the way he does it, but you can't deny, he does have a lot to talk
16:09trash about.
16:09Certainly incredibly gifted inside that scored circle, but so is Chaz Starboy Hall who's continuing to fight right now.
16:15He's got the most heart, that most fighting spirit as Chaz Starboy Hall.
16:20And there's that elusiveness and that speed from Starboy as well.
16:23Before you know it, he's up to the second rope and climb.
16:26And Hall now starting to reverse course a little bit now.
16:30Feeling the flow.
16:31Indeed he is.
16:32Just again, one week before Succession Three.
16:33Both of these stars want to come out.
16:35That float over, perhaps no.
16:37And that standing slice bred.
16:40Uh-oh.
16:40Are the straps coming down?
16:42And as you know, when the straps come down, the dragon comes out.
16:48And Hall!
16:50That twisting moonsault from a standing position.
16:53I don't even know if everyone in the audience at home watching us on Tubi can appreciate the level of
16:59athleticism that requires to do that from a standing position.
17:03And remember, Peter, just one week ago, Chaz Starboy Hall stood up to Tristan Angels inside the ring.
17:08Looking to take out some of that frustration right here.
17:10And that's exactly who Starboy has been since he got to Evolve.
17:13A guy who is standing up on the right side of history every single time.
17:17He's looking to fly now, and instead just gets out of his head.
17:19He's looking to dodge.
17:20Angels able to evade it.
17:21Look at Hall.
17:22Always with the innovative offense.
17:24Watch out!
17:25And he's going to send Angels all the way to the floor.
17:27And Peter, we know this is the exact position that Hall loves.
17:31Watch out!
17:33He's so good, man.
17:35As Chaz Starboy Hall is starting to feel it.
17:41Starboy is just such an innovator.
17:43I am so excited to see the way this kid is going to develop here in WWE.
17:48We are so lucky to have Moneyball.
17:50If he does something different, I feel like, Blake, every single time we see him.
17:53Here we go.
17:53Cover.
17:54Hall.
17:55Oh!
17:56And again, right on the doorstep as we talked about Hall's star continuing to grow all around the world.
18:02He's one of those guys that no matter where you're wrestling, you are keeping an eye on his matches to
18:07see what he's doing.
18:08How he's raising the ball.
18:10A lot of that radar came right here from Wednesday nights as Tristan Angels running Hall right at that ring
18:17post.
18:17And now Angels looking to take control.
18:19Well, it's very easy for us to sit here and just laud Starboy.
18:23But look at something like that from Tristan Angels.
18:26Taking it from the outside in with the suplex.
18:28Oh!
18:29And right on the cusp, Jeffrey Jeremy Marcus says it's only two and a half.
18:32Angels certainly thought that was enough.
18:33Was Angel on the second turnbuckle and reach to the outside and suplex showing off some rare power?
18:40Wow.
18:41Come on, boy!
18:43Come on!
18:44Come on, Starboy!
18:45Yeah, but maybe he needs to focus a little bit more after an incredible move like that on taking advantage
18:50of it and getting back on top for a pinfall rather than traction.
18:53Watch out!
18:54What a counter there by Hall with the DDT.
18:56Beautiful stuff again from Starboy.
19:00And Chaz Starboy Hall might be looking to turn the corner and end things here.
19:05Starboy's looking to go up top.
19:06Putting Angels in prime position.
19:09Hall, he's going upstairs.
19:11He wants to get right back on the winning trick!
19:14Goes for the Shooting Star Press.
19:16Angels able to move.
19:19And now Hall going for more risk.
19:23How much reward?
19:24Oh!
19:26Oh, you gotta watch out here if you're Starboy.
19:28Right into position for that Shire's kiss.
19:32Yes!
19:33And Tristan Angels comes away with another victory.
19:39Here is your winner, Tristan Angels!
19:45Peter, another impressive victory for Mr. International.
19:49Yeah, and we spent a lot of time talking about Starboy during that match.
19:52And with good reason, right?
19:53This is the sort of athleticism we've come to see and love from Chaz Starboy Hall.
20:00Unbelievable stuff.
20:01But, look at the strength from Tristan Angels.
20:03And of course, as you said.
20:07Digging deep into the bag is Tristan Angels and setting him up right here, Peter.
20:10And when that knee drives the face right into the mat, that's all she wrote.
20:15And Tristan Angels continues his momentum right here on Evolve.
20:20Very impressive stuff.
20:21Let's end it down to Chewie.
20:23Another impressive win, Tristan.
20:25What's next for you, brother?
20:27Order, order, order.
20:29Order, order.
20:31Starboy's light has just been extinguished by the brightest shining star in WWE Evolve history.
20:42Me, Tristan Angels, is a glowing example of success and over-accomplishment.
20:48I proved this when I became Mr. England.
20:51And I prove it here day in and day out in the WWE.
20:58I am the definition of excellence.
21:01I am the definition of elegance.
21:04I'm the definition of class.
21:05It is one thing being known as one of the best in the world without Tristan Angels around.
21:11It's a whole nother ball game when I step into the picture, baby.
21:18Hey, hey.
21:20You gotta give it up with wins like that.
21:22He's not exactly lying, Blake Howard.
21:25Well, he certainly talks the talk and he's walking the walk.
21:28But coming up next, a happy-go-lucky Xena Sterling takes on the anime girl looking for her first win,
21:34Anya Rune.
21:35When we come back on Evolve.
21:40On July 18th, the world's most famous arena delivers the main event.
21:51You know what time it is.
21:53You want a moment?
21:55This is always a moment.
21:58Everyone is buzzing about this spectacle.
22:01It's Saturday night's main event at the Garden.
22:04The night of Fanatics Fest NYC.
22:07Tickets on sale now.
22:11Welcome back to Evolve.
22:13I am so excited to be back here on Evolve.
22:16It's been a long journey from LFG to dealing with injuries, to missed opportunities.
22:23But now, the world is gonna see the best of me.
22:26I want to show everyone who I am.
22:29Let's go!
22:30Peter Shewitz ready?
22:32Yeah.
22:33She's so procky.
22:37The following contest is scheduled for 1-4.
22:41Introducing first, from LB Ukraine, Xena Sterling!
22:47Well, officially, that's welcome back Xena Sterling to Evolve.
22:50A little bit of a new look, new theme song.
22:52And let's see if she can turn things around with a dub.
22:54I would love to see you rock those pants and sort of the Doc Barton boot look.
22:59I think it would really change things up for you.
23:00Your fiancé would dig it.
23:02You think I could pull it off?
23:02No, no.
23:03But I think it would be really fun to watch a trip.
23:05A little truth-commissioned vibe.
23:07It is giving that.
23:09Let's see if Xena Sterling can pick up her first win here on Wednesday nights.
23:13Who's ready to get kawaii?
23:15Welcome to the first one.
23:17Uwo!
23:22And her opponent!
23:24She's straight out of a manga panel.
23:27Anya Rue!
23:29Peter talking about looking for her first win.
23:31Let's hear from Anya Rue.
23:34Oh, whoa.
23:36The last time this anime girl competed, she did not fare very well.
23:41But being the main character, I have to stay determined.
23:46So in tonight's episode of everyone's favorite anime,
23:50I'm gonna do my best to prove myself by making everyone in Evolve notice me.
23:56Anya Rue.
23:58Uh-woo?
24:00You hear the uh-woo and the music and you see the smile
24:03and you might not realize what you're getting,
24:05but Anya Rue has a lot of potential in the squared circle as well.
24:08She certainly does.
24:09Both stars looking for a win.
24:10And talk about stars.
24:11Kev on stage of Safe Space right on Tubi.
24:14He's in the mix tonight.
24:16He's ready for Succession 3 next week.
24:18Kev on stage hanging to the VIP.
24:20He's a real fan.
24:21We love having him here.
24:24Especially with that stone culture.
24:26Let's go Zena!
24:29Let's go Zena!
24:30Let's go Zena!
24:30Let's go Zena!
24:31Let's go Zena!
24:31Let's go Zena!
24:32Now Zena Sterling looking to take control early on.
24:33Goes for a quick cover.
24:35Doesn't even get one.
24:36But Peter, take a look at Zena Sterling.
24:37Did she need this reset here in Evolve?
24:39I think she did.
24:40I mean, we talk about anyone who's been around on Evolve
24:42and has yet to pick up a win.
24:45You know, once a couple of dubs happen here.
24:46Moon cover.
24:48Once you lose a couple matches here.
24:51You gotta find a way to get deep.
24:52Because remember, this is the bleeding ground for WWE.
24:56You gotta get wins here if you hope to get to the next level.
25:00So I respect Zena Sterling for sort of going into the bag
25:03and starting over again.
25:04Kev on stage all excited here for this encounter
25:06in the Evolve women's division.
25:08Of course, Anya Rune looking for her first win as well.
25:11As Peter, I have to imagine, she's under a lot of pressure
25:13to pick up a win here.
25:14Yeah, I'm debating who's facing more pressure here.
25:16Is it Anya Rune who's new to Evolve
25:18or Zena Sterling who's kind of resetting in Evolve?
25:21I think maybe more pressure on even Zena,
25:23but certainly the youngster, Anya Rune,
25:25needs to pick up a W as well.
25:28Is Rune up top?
25:29In the name of the world,
25:31this anime girl is going to fly!
25:36Peter, what's she talking about?
25:38She wants to fly!
25:40She went the wrong direction there.
25:41Takeoff didn't go so well.
25:42Yeah, that was not flying.
25:44That was falling.
25:45As Zena Sterling looking to take full control right now.
25:48Of course, Anya Rune,
25:50top ID prospect.
25:51Here we go, cover!
25:53That was exactly what you don't want to have happen though.
25:57And Anya Rune was looking to get some momentum going instead.
26:00She maybe worried more about talking
26:02and ends up slipping off the top turnbuckle instead.
26:05I guess maybe her power's not affected as she thought.
26:08Well, not in that moment.
26:09Oh!
26:10Watch out!
26:10And Connor come back the other way with an inside cradle.
26:12But that's the thing about Evolve.
26:14You're watching these talents learn.
26:16Anya Rune has to figure these things out as time goes on.
26:20It's sink or swim here on Evolve.
26:22As we see Zena Sterling get a bit more aggressive in this one
26:24as Kev on stage cheering on.
26:26Of course, we saw at the beginning of tonight's event,
26:28Wendy Chu, the Evolve Women's Champion,
26:30huge title opportunity next week,
26:32defending against Nikita Lyons.
26:33She has her eyes fixated on this one.
26:36Absolutely.
26:37And you can't help but think about for Anya Rune,
26:39is Gianna Capri in her head?
26:44Almost bullying she's been getting from Capri
26:46since they arrived to Evolve.
26:48You wonder whether that has her a little bit shook.
26:50You have to imagine it does.
26:51Gianna Capri's essentially been bullying,
26:53whether it's tag team action, singles action.
26:55Capri always seemed like she has something to say
26:57to Anya Rune after the matches.
26:58Yeah, and I hate people like that.
27:00Because you can tell that Anya Rune is a really good person,
27:02really just trying hard,
27:04trying to make the Evolve universe feel good
27:05and have fun whenever they see her on Wednesday nights.
27:08And you have Gianna Capri,
27:09who is angered by that in some way.
27:11You know what we call it, Blake?
27:12We call it a hater.
27:13That's what we call it.
27:14And the sauce boss, certainly a bit of a hater
27:15as it comes to her fellow ID prospect.
27:17This Rune, she gonna fly again, Peter?
27:19Yeah, hey, listen.
27:20If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.
27:23Anya Rune back up top.
27:27Oh, still unsure of the footing.
27:29I don't know if those anime powers are working
27:30at its fullest right now.
27:33Well, and that turnbuckle slipped again.
27:35Of course, that turnbuckle loosened
27:37a little bit earlier on here, Peter.
27:39I don't know if it's...
27:39That's the same one Brooks Jensen threw off,
27:42and now Anya Rune completely has no footing.
27:45Yeah, she kicks it off, now goes to the second,
27:47and she's having some trouble right here, Peter.
27:49Oh, cross body though.
27:51As Rune, nice job shifting gears,
27:53but her original plan didn't work.
27:55No, and it looks like she got the worst of that,
27:57and Sterling doing much better
28:00as she notices the exposed turnbuckle.
28:02Looks like Xena, if you're looking to seize the moment,
28:05sidesteps Anya Rune.
28:07Now Xena Sterling looking to take full advantage
28:09in a fireman's carry position,
28:11and drops Rune in a sideslam,
28:13and Xena Sterling wins on a ball.
28:18Here is your winner, Xena Sterling!
28:24Peter, some tough sledding here for Anya Rune
28:26as Xena Sterling returns to evolve and picks up the wave.
28:29Well, here's where things started to go south, Blake.
28:31She went up top, she wanted to fly,
28:33lose her footing, really took a nasty spill,
28:35and then again goes back to try to get to the top turnbuckle.
28:39Doesn't work out, hesitates, gives up on it.
28:43Oof!
28:44And I thought she got the most of that,
28:45but in fact, she didn't.
28:47And instead, Sterling takes advantage,
28:49uses that exposed turnbuckle,
28:51good night and good luck,
28:52and she disposes of the youngster Anya Rune.
28:55Well, Xena certainly seizes the moment,
28:57returns to evolve, picks up the win,
28:59but Peter, did she do the right thing?
29:01Speaking of the sauce boss...
29:03Oh, good lord.
29:05I'll tell you what,
29:07Anya Rune already having a bad night
29:08after losing to Xena Sterling,
29:10and now here comes the sauce boss,
29:11Gianna Capri.
29:12Talking about picking her spots,
29:13picking the bones.
29:15Huh?
29:16You don't belong here!
29:17This is a big dog!
29:18You can't hang with a big league!
29:20This is WWE!
29:21You don't deserve to be IG!
29:23This is too much for you!
29:24Who's again?
29:25Again?
29:26You're in Paris!
29:27Yes!
29:31Peter, look who's arrived!
29:32Oh ho ho!
29:33Mason Holiday and Leila Jays,
29:35who have liked what they've seen from Anya Rune,
29:37are not having the bullying from Gianna Capri.
29:40What?
29:41Now Gianna!
29:42No, she ain't doing nothing.
29:44She is not doing anything.
29:45I'll tell you what was doing something though.
29:47My partner here,
29:49Blake Howard,
29:50had the privilege of catching up
29:51with Harlem Lewis earlier.
29:57Blake Howard here with LeVolv,
29:58and today,
29:59we're meeting Harlem Lewis at the gym.
30:01Harlem,
30:02I know you wanted to get together today.
30:03I see you working the heavy bag over here.
30:05What's going on?
30:06Blake,
30:06some of my best times have come
30:08getting a heavy bag.
30:09Yep.
30:10I haven't considered going pro.
30:11All my coaches told me I was good enough.
30:13Well,
30:14certainly see where they got that from,
30:15but, you know, Harlem,
30:16all that could end in just a second.
30:18I mean,
30:19we saw what Braxton told you to your shoulder.
30:21I mean, that could end in your career.
30:22Nah, man, but I feel good.
30:23I'm one week away from being physically cleared.
30:25Well, that's huge.
30:26I mean, it's great to have you back on Evolve,
30:28but where are you at mentally?
30:29I mean, we've seen you in the past.
30:30You look like you're ready to burst the seams.
30:32All that anger being pent up and built up,
30:34and after this situation in the Braxton-
30:36you're walking into a minefield here.
30:41I hate to admit it,
30:42but I was afraid.
30:46I was scared that WWE would be over for me.
30:49I mean, this has been a dream my whole life.
30:50What am I going to do?
30:51Go back to football.
30:53Go back to boxing.
30:53I know Braxton's mocking you.
30:55I mean, he said you might get a janitorial position
30:57at one of his father's properties.
30:58They're even saying you're going to hold a mop.
31:01Yeah.
31:02I had to support my brothers by mopping floors growing up,
31:04and Braxton thinks it's funny.
31:07But to him, his whole life is all situated.
31:09For me, I have to make it in WWE.
31:11I have to do it.
31:12For my mom, for my brothers, for me.
31:15Is that why the Evolve Championship is so important to you?
31:18Yes, Rick.
31:18Exactly.
31:19Look at Jackson Drake.
31:20He's on NXT right now.
31:21Look at the women.
31:22Look at Kendall and Callie.
31:23They're both forces on NXT.
31:24I need that title to make it to NXT.
31:27And then one day, the Raw or SmackDown.
31:29And then, WrestleMania.
31:32And Braxton Cole, he's just an obstacle in the way.
31:35He's a smug little entitled trust fund baby.
31:38So I've been trying to channel my anger into some other things lately
31:41and wait to get cleared.
31:44But when I do, I want Braxton Cole in a no-DQ match.
31:51Horam, that's a huge challenge to lay down.
31:53I mean, I'll take this message right to Foreman Thatcher.
31:56But first, I mean, I just felt the power.
31:58You got to tell me some boxing stories.
32:00You want to hear some stories?
32:01From a distance, please.
32:02Man, my first ever match was actually against my best friend.
32:05He grew up next to me. He was my neighbor.
32:06Huh?
32:12Welcome, everyone, to the biggest event of the summer.
32:17We are getting carnage in SummerSlam.
32:21It's here when you talk to me.
32:23Face out.
32:24Face.
32:25I am completely in shock right now.
32:28Face out.
32:30What's up?
32:31What's up?
32:32But I don't.
32:40Well, time waits for no one.
32:42Got on.
32:42Wendy Chu is already signed.
32:44Please miss Nikita for the Evolve Women's Championship.
32:48You don't have to ask me twice.
32:50Big Cat Kita as the new Evolve Women's Champion just sounds so right.
32:55Mm-hmm.
32:56And Wendy has just really inspired me to be nothing like her.
33:02Oh, my.
33:03Oh, yeah.
33:04Hilarious.
33:06Now it's written in the stars for Nikita Multimedia,
33:10and the divine feline to be the most whimsically gifted WWE Evolve Women's Champion there ever was.
33:17The entire universe will feel me roar.
33:20What's up, Thatcher?
33:22Oh, Kev, how are you, sir?
33:23Oh, good.
33:24Oh, good.
33:24OG Evolve Champion, man.
33:26I remember watching you, man.
33:27You were the guy.
33:29I'm so sorry.
33:30But you're very kind.
33:31You're very kind.
33:32I appreciate it.
33:33We're a big fan of Safe Space around here.
33:34Thank you very much.
33:35Thank you for watching it on Tubi.
33:36Do you guys watch Safe Space on Tubi?
33:38Oh, yeah.
33:38Yeah.
33:39Kev, it is such an honor for you to meet me.
33:42I mean, we are so impressed with your bald, I mean, big following.
33:47Amazing.
33:48I mean, so impressed.
33:49But it's nothing like when Nikita Multimedia goes viral.
33:53Maybe you could stick around and get a few tips from her, actually?
33:57Oh, me?
33:58Get tips from her on going viral.
34:00No, here's a tip for you.
34:01Focus on Wendy Choo.
34:03Okay?
34:03That's what I need you to do.
34:05And please, whatever you do, don't cheat like Xena did earlier.
34:08I don't want to see that.
34:09How dare you?
34:10First of all, she doesn't need your advice.
34:12And second of all, whether or not Nikita Multimedia manifests a little divine intervention
34:18is none of your concern.
34:20Yeah.
34:21Oh.
34:21She flipped her hair because I'm bald.
34:23There's another insult.
34:24Yeah.
34:25I'm so sorry for that.
34:26It's all good.
34:28But your wrestling knowledge, very impressive, sir.
34:30Very cool.
34:33I have a question for you.
34:35Sure, sure.
34:36I have a scouting trip in two weeks.
34:38Please, would you consider being guest GM here in Evolve in two weeks?
34:43Me?
34:43Yeah, please.
34:44Guest GM?
34:46Of course.
34:47All my dreams are coming true.
34:49Yes.
34:49I would love it.
34:50Oh, oh.
34:51First, I got a great idea.
34:53No DQ match with Harlem Lewis and Braxton Cole.
34:57Huh?
34:57Fantastic.
34:58What do you think about that?
34:59I think it's going to work out great.
35:00All right.
35:01Thank you for this opportunity, man.
35:02Of course, Kev.
35:02I won't let you down.
35:03Thank you, sir.
35:04I won't let you down.
35:04Thanks, Kev.
35:05Appreciate it very much.
35:06Okay.
35:07That's a good fella.
35:09Petit powder.
35:10Let's get out of there, huh?
35:12Well, big breaking news.
35:14Kev on stage has officially been named guest GM in two weeks on Evolve.
35:17But next Wednesday is Succession 3.
35:20Huge championship match.
35:21The champion, Aaron Roark, puts his title on the line against the MOG Squad's Max Abrams.
35:26I cannot wait for that matchup.
35:28But you know Succession is all about championships and the women's championship on the line as
35:34well as Nikita Lyons is getting her crack at Champ Chu.
35:38Wendy Chu, the champ, defending against Big Cat Kita.
35:41Major showdown coming up next Wednesday.
35:44But, Peter, for the first time at Succession, we will see one, maybe two debuts.
35:49New arrivals coming next week.
35:50Who could they be?
35:51Well, I don't know.
35:52But I'm seeing the silhouette of a man.
35:53And I'm seeing the silhouette of a woman.
35:55Looking to shake things up next Wednesday as Foreman Thatcher on Succession 3.
36:01Peter Kev on stage, guest GM, and already making moves.
36:04I gotta tell you, I'm impressed with how confidently and quickly he was ready to get into the muck
36:09and the mire here on Evolve and create some new action.
36:12Huge matchup coming up in two weeks, but let's get ready for some tag team action.
36:16The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
36:23Tuesday first, the team of Carly Riggin and Kev Hendrix.
36:32Peter, we talked about Gianna Capri being a bully in the Evolve Women's Division with the ID program.
36:37When it comes to evolving bullies, nothing gets any bigger than these two.
36:41No, they wear it on the chest.
36:43They're like, they're proud bullies.
36:45You know, there's some people who try to avoid it.
36:46They tell you, I'm not a bully.
36:47No, I just keep it real.
36:49I'm just honest.
36:49These guys are proud bullies.
36:52They want to run roughshod over all of these.
36:54And ever since Cam Hendrix received an NXT championship opportunity,
36:58I mean, his attitude has gone to another world.
37:00Yeah, absolutely.
37:01He certainly sees himself as the future of the business,
37:06whether or not he was successful in that championship opportunity or not.
37:17Peter, I think I finally got the dance moves there.
37:18Oh, here you go, hit it.
37:20Hit it right there.
37:20You got to tap the elbows.
37:25Oh, how about this as a tag team partner?
37:29Talk about a big moment on Wednesday nights.
37:33Noem Dar here on Evolve.
37:36You'll love to see it.
37:37And their opponents, the team of Romeo Moreno and Supernova 11, Noem Dar!
37:48From Monday Night Raw to 205 Live to NXT, right here to Evolve,
37:52the evolution of Supernova 11 continues.
37:56You love to see it.
37:58That is what makes things so special here on Evolve.
38:00Not only will you see the hottest young talent in all of the wrestling biz today,
38:05you are going to get savvy ring vets who you say,
38:08I wish I could get more of that guy or that girl.
38:11Guess what?
38:11You can right here on Wednesday nights on TV.
38:14Over the last couple of years, Noem Dar has unfortunately struggled with some injuries.
38:18And of course, Romeo Moreno, we know his ankle nowhere near 100%.
38:21How healthy are these two in their Evolve Tag Team debut?
38:25It's a great question by you.
38:27And you better be healthy when you're up against guys like Harley Riggins and Cam Hendricks.
38:34This guy, I want him.
38:37I want that ankle.
38:38I want that ankle.
38:41And you hear it right there from Harley Riggins.
38:43Peter Bell sounds running away, but he wants Romeo Moreno in that injured ankle.
38:47And now Freestylers ready to go.
38:51Of course, we saw Romeo Moreno debut a couple of months back against Tristan Angels here on Evolve.
38:55It's been quite impressive ever since.
38:57One on one with Harley Riggins.
38:59And then the bullies were able to prevail right there.
39:02And of course, you go back to that pep talk that Tate Wilder had with Romeo Moreno
39:06about each loss being a lesson.
39:08Peter, how can Romeo carry that forward in this tag team?
39:10Well, we're going to find out.
39:12I mean, he needs to carry it forward by simply getting in the kind of offense you come to see
39:20and love from Romeo Moreno early on.
39:22We talked about it earlier with Starboy.
39:25We talked about it with Tristan Angels.
39:26Hold on.
39:26For the first time on Evolve, here comes Supernova Eleven.
39:30What incredible shape Noam Dar's in.
39:32Yeah, Noam Dar looks amazing.
39:33And it looked like Romeo Moreno needed a minute there.
39:36as you see him sort of favoring his left leg and brings in the veteran Noam Dar.
39:42Oof!
39:43I think at this point, Peter, we certainly know Ken Hendricks and Harley Riggins have a height advantage.
39:46They continue to try to exploit it right here.
39:48But not only that, Blake, we've got to be honest.
39:50They have also developed a bit of a camaraderie as a tag team over the last several weeks here on
39:54Evolve.
39:55Certainly can't discount that as well, but neither can you discount the skills of Supernova Eleven Noam Dar.
40:00Oh!
40:01He's been around the block in the WWE.
40:04Former Heritage Cup champion on multiple occasions as well.
40:07And Cam Hendricks in control right now.
40:09And don't underestimate how much a guy like Noam Dar wants to take advantage of these moments.
40:14And of course, do you remember when we talk about Kev on stage being guest GM in two weeks?
40:19Remember when Cam Hendricks ran the show for a week?
40:22That was all sorts of chaos.
40:23I have to imagine that's not going to be Kev on stage's approach.
40:29The one Cam Hendricks had when he took over.
40:32Oof!
40:33Certainly will not be.
40:34Fujiwara arm bar attempt by Moran Dar.
40:36Nice countering the side slam by Hendricks, only gets one.
40:38Supernova!
40:39Cam Hendricks, of course, took his opportunity as GM to stack the deck.
40:43Supernova!
40:44The Evolve Universe right now is going to rally behind Noam Dar.
40:47But right now, it's all Harley Riggins and Cam Hendricks!
40:50Tell you what, I thought for a very long time that the ceiling is very, very high for Harley Riggins.
40:57New tag made to Romeo Moreno, unbeknownst there to Harley Riggins.
41:00And here comes El Freestyler.
41:01They're going to get it going!
41:03Northern Lights release suplex!
41:04Yeah, he's going to live up to that moniker of El Freestyler right away.
41:08Look at him.
41:10Always moving in different ways.
41:11Always innovating.
41:12Noam Dar, look at that.
41:13A little camaraderie early on.
41:15Indeed, the combination offense, the chemistry starting to click as Romeo starts to fly!
41:20He's so agile, so comfortable on the ropes.
41:23And Noam Dar.
41:25Oh, Noam Dar directing the youngster.
41:27If he wanted to test that knee out.
41:29He's saying throw him back in there.
41:31That's exactly what Moreno does.
41:33The player coach there by Noam Dar, of course, to take a look at Romeo Moreno.
41:36Certainly has to feel very special, teaming with Noam Dar in this situation.
41:40Yeah, and I think Romeo Moreno, who again, is favoring that left knee.
41:43There's an issue there.
41:44Oh!
41:45Oh, man.
41:46Oh!
41:46Talk about that numbers game taking full advantage.
41:49They're going right back to that knee and ankle.
41:52See, that is the problem.
41:54And that's sort of a rookie mistake there, I think, Blake.
41:57Romeo Moreno may have shown too much by favoring the knee so clearly.
42:01And Cam Hendricks takes advantage of it.
42:03Hendricks and Riggins in control.
42:05More tag team action.
42:06When we come back on a ball.
42:08Oh, my Lord!
42:12How does an event become an experience?
42:15This is how.
42:21This is why.
42:25This is WrestleMania.
42:29We know what it means to our country, but what could it mean to a kingdom?
42:39WrestleMania, for the first time ever, from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
42:46A phenomenon so incredible, it would need to be experienced to be believed.
42:59Back in action here on Evolve, Cam Hendricks controlling all throughout the break.
43:03And, Peter, we talked about Tate Wilder's influence on Romeo Moreno earlier on.
43:07You have to imagine that one-on-one matchup where Tate Wilder was victorious.
43:11Still lingering in the head of Cam Hendricks.
43:13100%.
43:14Everything lingers in the head of Cam Hendricks.
43:16He was born with a chip on his shoulder.
43:18So you better believe that is something that's going to stick with him for a while.
43:21Cover.
43:23Hold on.
43:24Yeah, I think you're going to have to do a little bit more on the cover there with Romeo Moreno.
43:28Bad left knee or not, he is all heart.
43:31And, of course, Romeo Moreno certainly won a showdown here with Cam Hendricks and Harley Riggins
43:35after the damage they did to his ankle.
43:36As you see Cam going right back to it.
43:39That left ankle right here.
43:40But, of course, we know a massive showdown coming up.
43:42A face-off, if you will.
43:44Coming up, Max Abrams, the challenger.
43:46Of course, Aaron Rourke, the champion.
43:47Huge Evolve Championship match next week in Succession 3.
43:49That's how we're going to head on home here tonight.
43:53But, Harley Riggins right now in control yet again.
43:55Continuing the bullying styles of Hendricks and Riggins.
43:59Oh, my God.
43:59You can hear that punch to the lumbar, the lower back reaches of Romeo Moreno.
44:05Harley Riggins is nasty, man.
44:07He's just got a nasty streak in him.
44:08In fact, it's not streaked.
44:10It's just who he is.
44:12Peter, going back to it right now.
44:13You see the double teams right now tagging to Cam Hendricks.
44:15Trying to do some more damage to the egg.
44:18As Hendricks collides there with Harley Riggins.
44:21Oh.
44:21And Romeo Moreno, maybe out of desperation, makes the tag.
44:24And here comes Supernova 11.
44:26Oh, and Noam Dar got caught on the rope a little bit,
44:28but still able to take that momentum and take down Cam Hendricks.
44:31Ready to unleash.
44:32They're going to utilize that boxing and kickboxing background right here
44:35as Noam Dar.
44:38Trains proficiently in this all throughout the week several times.
44:42As right now Cam Hendricks looking to build some momentum.
44:45Oh, man.
44:46Cam Hendricks has tried, like you said, Blake, to build that momentum,
44:49but the veteran Noam Dar catches him in the middle.
44:52Going one on two here against the Bullies.
44:55German release suplex and Noam starting to cook.
44:58I love seeing this from Noam Dar.
45:00The Supernova is here on Evolve and making his presence felt day one.
45:04And, man, it would kill Cam Hendricks to take an L in this match.
45:08Looking to lead by example with Romeo Moreno.
45:11Now a taste of his own medicine.
45:13Has Dar going for that ankle lock.
45:15Not many places for Hendricks to go.
45:17Look at Noam Dar hitting Hendricks and Riggins both.
45:22We talked about ring awareness earlier tonight.
45:24Peter got full of his play right here.
45:27Has Moreno and Dar.
45:29What a taste of their own medicine this would be.
45:32As Riggins able to send Moreno to the outside.
45:35Dar still has that ankle lock singed in here against Cam Hendricks.
45:38They are the two legal men tagging to Romeo Moreno.
45:40And now, look, now if you're Cam Hendricks,
45:43you're the one favoring one of your legs.
45:45Here comes Harley Riggins, of course.
45:47They look to prove they are the biggest and baddest
45:51by taking out Moreno's ankle just a couple of weeks back.
45:54And, of course, they've gone back to work on that left leg of Moreno,
45:57but now Hendricks a little bit worse for the wear after that ankle lock
46:00was locked in by Noam Dar for about two minutes.
46:02Quick tags back in and out here by Hendricks and Riggins.
46:05And there's a showtime kick assisted TKO.
46:08That might be it.
46:09Indeed it might center the ring and Noam Dar.
46:13And when I keep things together for his team,
46:15we're going back and forth right here.
46:17Noam Dar saving the day for Romeo Moreno,
46:19who looked to have the lights out in that moment.
46:21And Dar, oh. Uh-oh.
46:23And the power of Cam Hendricks.
46:25Spine buster.
46:26Dropping Dar, but here comes El Freestyler from out of nowhere.
46:30Oh.
46:31As this one's starting to break down,
46:32there's a spear center of the ring.
46:34Oh, how does Moreno kick out?
46:36He was almost split in half.
46:40Wow.
46:42Moreno fighting through.
46:49Did someone say chair?
46:50Peter, this isn't a no DQ match.
46:53Well, there goes Harley.
46:54Riggins going under the ring.
46:56And nope.
46:57That's a trash can.
46:58We find some sort of plunder.
47:00That's Cam.
47:01Hey, oh.
47:01Hey, now.
47:03Talk about evening the odds.
47:04Look who's back on Evolve.
47:07Each loss might be a lesson,
47:08but so is pulling out a trash can
47:10as Romeo Moreno inside Cradle.
47:13Won't be enough, but it's going to breathe new light
47:15in the team of Dar and Moreno
47:17as Riggins looking to take advantage.
47:19And Dar makes the tag as Moreno slips out the back door
47:22and Supernova Lemon gets caught right there
47:25by Harley Riggins.
47:26Harley goes up top.
47:27Oh, man.
47:28And Dar looking to pick his spot.
47:32That spinning back fist connects.
47:35And Moreno and Dar are victorious.
47:39Here are your winners, the team of Romeo Moreno
47:42and Noam Dar!
47:47Impressive victory and a bit of comeuppance
47:49right here for Supernova 11 and L Freestyle.
47:53Yeah, and they weren't the only one who got some comeuppance.
47:55We'll get to that in just a second.
47:57Let's take a look back there.
47:58Just incredible action.
47:59You see the strength from Cam Henderson.
48:02That spine buster.
48:03Then the missile drop kick off the top from Romeo Moreno.
48:05Bad leg at all before eating that spear.
48:08I thought that was it.
48:10Moreno just digging deep.
48:13And then the trash can.
48:17But Tate Wilder says no, no, no.
48:20You see the athleticism from Riggins, but to no avail.
48:25And now the teamwork from Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno.
48:29Big time tag team work right there from Dar and Moreno.
48:32And a big assist to that guy right there.
48:34Tate Wilder once again getting some comeuppance
48:37on Cam Hendricks and Harley Riggins.
48:39Huge tag team victory for Dar and Moreno.
48:42But now Chewy Martinez is with our Succession 3 Championship match
48:46for an official face off.
48:51Evolve fam, how you doing?
48:52Chewy Martinez here with you.
48:54And yes, the contracts are signed.
48:56And the main event for Succession 3 is set
48:59with Evolve's biggest prize on the line.
49:03The underlying story here is what this means to the WWE ID program.
49:08And of course, I'm here with the champion, Aaron Roark,
49:11who represents the first class in the WWE ID program.
49:14And also Max Abrams, who's here from the Mog Squad,
49:18who has members of the recent class in WWE ID.
49:21So congratulations on that.
49:24But champ, I'm gonna give you the floor first, brother.
49:26I'd like to talk about first what WWE ID means.
49:29You know, this program was created by WWE to give independent wrestlers,
49:33such as ourselves, the tools and resources to succeed.
49:37It's truly unprecedented.
49:39And I'm honored to be part of the first class chosen.
49:42And with all those resources and tools, I've become a great wrestler,
49:46gotten in the best shape of my life, put in the work time and time again.
49:51And winning this was a great moment, sure, but it was even bigger for WWE ID.
49:56To have us all in the ring together, that solidarity, I mean, it's priceless.
50:01Love that.
50:02And then you.
50:03Yeah, you.
50:05Over here.
50:05You.
50:06Yeah.
50:07You knocked that title right out of my hand.
50:09And honestly, I should have seen exactly who you were right then and there.
50:15Bring it over here.
50:16Yeah, you should have.
50:19Everything that I do is calculated.
50:23Hey, Aaron, do you remember the night that the so-called leader of the ID program, Sean Legacy,
50:29did his big farewell speech?
50:31Do you remember when he snubbed me?
50:32I'm leaving this place in good hands.
50:36Cappuccino Jones.
50:38We have Aaron Rourke.
50:41And we have more prospects coming in from the ID program.
50:46Vividly, it was hilarious.
50:47I remember that, too, and I took it personal.
50:50Because in no world does someone that looks like you mog me.
50:54I mog you.
50:56There's nobody in my league.
50:57The only guys that were were the Vanity Project, and they're already on NXT.
51:02For the rest of you, at this point, it's just charity by WWE.
51:09You want to say that you're on the same level as the Vanity Project and that, what, me,
51:13Marcus, Capp, and Sam are the leftovers, like we were just left here?
51:17Yeah.
51:17No.
51:18No, no, no.
51:19See, everyone, the four of us, everyone involved, everyone watching at home on TV,
51:23everyone is always working to achieve an ultimate goal.
51:26With the love and support of our friends and family.
51:29And that's how success comes, and it came for me.
51:31And now, for me, it's all about making history.
51:34History?
51:35This time.
51:35Yeah, something you don't know about, bud.
51:37Alright, go back over here.
51:38History.
51:39The most notable thing that's gonna be your whole career, your big history-making moment,
51:44is just gonna be a trivia question.
51:46It's gonna ask, who did Max Abrams beat?
51:50Good one.
51:50To become the WWE Evolve Champion.
51:54Good one.
51:55And one last thing, Aaron.
51:57I think your family, no, I know this.
51:59They probably say they're really proud of you.
52:02But deep down, they know what I know.
52:06That you're a joke.
52:08Whoa.
52:10Joke, huh?
52:12You wanna bring in my family?
52:13You wanna bring my family to this, Max?
52:15What are you?
52:15I'll slap this goddamn taste.
52:17Oh, will you?
52:18I will.
52:18I will.
52:19Come on.
52:21Say it again.
52:23Say it again.
52:24Say it.
52:25Yeah.
52:26How about this, Aaron?
52:27Huh?
52:29I'm gonna be the champion.
52:30I'm gonna be the champion.
52:32I'm the main part.
