00:00Forever, together.
00:18Callie Armstrong first ever WWE Evolve Women's Champion.
00:24What a first title defense from Callie Armstrong.
00:26Hold on.
00:27What the hell?
00:28Oh, my God, it's Jintala.
00:32Callie Armstrong taken down by Jintala.
00:36It was me.
00:38I'm the attacker.
00:40Medical, medical.
00:41And I will eliminate anyone in my path to get to this championship.
00:49I ain't here to waste no time.
00:51Jintala, where you at?
00:52You out here trying to earn a title shot by running up on people.
00:56How about you come say it to my face?
00:57Now, Allie, I want that title.
01:00Oh, no, no, no.
01:03I ain't waiting for no main event.
01:05I'm ready to go right now.
01:07You think I'm going to wait for Jen to come attacking me from behind again?
01:11No, we ain't doing that.
01:13Where you at?
01:14Where you at, Jen?
01:14You under the mat?
01:16You behind the curtain?
01:17Where you at?
01:19See, I'm the difference maker.
01:21And I don't run from nobody.
01:24Jen, you want my Evolve Women's Championship so bad, don't you?
01:29Then come and get it.
01:31Oh, yeah.
01:32Because I'm the difference maker.
01:33And I'm ready right here, right now.
01:35So come out, Jen.
01:36Where you at?
01:38Come on.
01:40Oh, and there she is, Jintala.
01:42And Callie Armstrong's going to take it to Jintala to start things off, Robert Stone.
01:46The biggest party in the summer was this past weekend, but Callie looks like she wants to
01:50start her own party right now.
01:52Callie Armstrong and Jintala not waiting, getting after it to start Evolve.
01:59Jen, Callie, if you want this match, then you can have it right now.
02:03Right now.
02:05Well, and there it is.
02:07Our PM, Stevie Turner, going to make it official.
02:10Let's not wait.
02:12Let's have our Evolve Women's Championship match right now.
02:16Between Callie Armstrong and the challenger, Jintala.
02:19I was not expecting that.
02:20This was scheduled for later.
02:21I saw the card.
02:22We're doing it now.
02:23But I got to say, I mean, Jintala, she's probably 40 minutes out from being prepared to start
02:28a match.
02:28She's not warmed up.
02:30She's not stretched out.
02:31You kind of got to give her a little credit for just coming out here and accepting this.
02:34Is that a mistake, though?
02:35Did she fall into the champion's plan, throw her off her game?
02:39Because like you said, Jintala thought this would be the main event later in the show.
02:43But now, here she is.
02:44I think at this point, these two don't like each other so much.
02:48All bets are off.
02:49Nobody cares.
02:50And they just want to fight.
02:51And that seems like that's what they're doing right now.
02:53Well, and Jintala getting a taste of her own medicine, of course.
02:56None of the women who she attacked in the locker room, as you see those kicks to the gut
03:00of the champion, none of them were prepared for Jintala.
03:03So now, what's good for the goose, Jintala may not be as prepared as she would have liked
03:08to be.
03:08But here we are.
03:09Champion sending Jintala into the corner on a closed round.
03:12Well, I'll tell you who is prepared.
03:14It's Callie Armstrong.
03:15She's been waiting to get her hands on Jintala for a while now.
03:19And a third elbow putting it right into her chest.
03:21And she's going to go for a pin early on.
03:23And a two count on Jintala as Callie Armstrong looks to defend her Evolve Women's Championship
03:29yet again, of course, a big defense over Natalya Nightmark.
03:35She has shown early on just how impressive she can be as a champion.
03:40That's right.
03:40The last time we saw her, she got a win over Natalya.
03:43And now she is here in her next match.
03:45She has that momentum going into this.
03:47And you know what?
03:48She's proud representing where she's from.
03:51And Englewood, and Englewood is proud of her.
03:54Ever since she's become WWE Evolve Women's Champion, her life has changed.
03:58It has been a big year and change for the West Coast.
04:03I mean, coming out of Kendrick Drake and then Callie Armstrong from Englewood becomes the
04:07first Evolve Women's Champion.
04:09It's another win for the West.
04:10It is the same thing.
04:12But hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves because Jintala is here and she is ready to
04:17take that championship off of Callie.
04:19I expect you to have a cheesy Not Like Us reference there.
04:22That's what I thought.
04:23But you don't even know Not Like Us do.
04:24Give me a break, Peter.
04:25We're in a championship match here, baby.
04:27And Callie with the slam to the challenger, Jintala, who, you know, Jintala, she was told
04:34when she was on LFG that she was not aggressive enough.
04:37And she says that's the reason why she brought this aggression to Evolve.
04:42And even though I don't appreciate the way she did it, she certainly got her message across,
04:47Robert Stone.
04:47Yeah, if you would have said to me a few weeks ago, who do I think is this attacker backstage?
04:52The absolute last person on my list would have been Jintala.
04:59All right.
04:59They told her on LFG that she wasn't aggressive enough, but she looks pretty aggressive right
05:04here.
05:04And now she has the champion, Ruzi, and a 6-1-9 from Jintala.
05:10A little taste of the Mysterios.
05:11Did not expect that.
05:13And Callie Armstrong, the champion, in a bit of a bad way here early on.
05:30The fuse has been lit on NXT.
05:44Welcome back to WWE Evolve on NXT.
05:47Tobey, Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone.
05:49And yes, your eyes are not deceiving you.
05:51We are having our Women's Evolve Championship match out of the gate.
05:54The challenger, Jintala, and our champion, Callie Armstrong, who right now on the defensive
06:01is Jintala going to work.
06:03Has Jintala surprised you in her first ever championship match?
06:06She's doing great.
06:07I mean, she is very confident.
06:09Clearly, she is the changed woman.
06:10And these two go together like fire and gasoline, because this match has been lit, Peter.
06:16Yeah, I said it.
06:18That was, did you just learn lit suplex there, Jintala?
06:22You should learn, oh, pinfall now, and a two count on the champion.
06:27Jint's been all about the shing-shing action, very aggressive, very great ring control.
06:33She really went into this match with a game plan, and she knows exactly what she's doing.
06:38Some elbows to the chest of the champ, and now Jintala's gonna try to cinch in some sort
06:45of arm bar here and work the gut of Callie Armstrong.
06:50Impressive moment here for Jintala, like I said, her first ever Evolve Championship match.
06:57I'll tell you this, people often forget who helped them, but they never forget who hurt
07:01them.
07:02And Callie hasn't forgotten what Jintala has done to her, hasn't forgotten what she has
07:07done to the whole female locker room.
07:09Well, not only did Jintala attack the champion when she was not prepared, but as you just
07:15mentioned, several women in the locker room as well, surprising everyone.
07:21And I'm a bit surprised right now to see Callie Armstrong getting ragdolled a bit by Jintala.
07:26But we cannot count out the difference maker, the history maker, too strong Armstrong.
07:33She is trying to move her body.
07:35She is trying to gain some momentum.
07:37She's trying to stay alive.
07:40And if you're Jintala, you are just trying to keep Callie Armstrong on the ground.
07:44Callie gets a vertical base.
07:46You might have problems.
07:47Jintala now trying to keep her down with some slaps to the face.
07:52But this is just annoying, Callie.
07:54It's like she's getting fired up.
07:56Callie Armstrong with shades of the late great Hulk Hogan hulking up and
08:02connecting with punches to the challenger.
08:04Look at those beautiful Ronnie Garvin, Jerry Lawler-like punches.
08:08Followed by a shoulder block and then another with the elbow.
08:13And Callie Armstrong with the spine buster.
08:16Callie Armstrong will try to finish this thing off.
08:18Two.
08:19And a kick out from Jintala.
08:22Callie Armstrong now back in control.
08:25Still feeling some of the effects from Jintala's offense earlier.
08:28But appears to be regaining her confidence and her footing, Robert Stone.
08:33But can't she seal the deal?
08:35Not with a miss like that.
08:37This could be it.
08:37Roll up.
08:38Two.
08:39And a kick out by the champ.
08:41As Jintala takes advantage of that miss.
08:46Taekwondo kick.
08:47Is she going for another 619?
08:50Oh, she got caught this time.
08:52Yeah, the second time the champ was ready.
08:55And Callie's prepared for that power slam.
08:59Taking down Jintala.
09:01I think I might know what's next, Peter.
09:03Callie Armstrong looking to defend yet again.
09:07Can she connect with the Callie connection?
09:10She does.
09:13Jintala is not getting up from that.
09:19Here is your winner.
09:21And still WWE vault women's champion, Callie Armstrong.
09:30Another defense in the books for Callie Armstrong.
09:33Let's look back.
09:33Jintala connected with the 619 earlier.
09:37Did not expect that.
09:38But then Robert Stone, she tried one too many times.
09:41Ends up getting caught by the champ.
09:43The result, the power slam.
09:47And of course, in the end, you know where Callie's going.
09:50The Callie connection.
09:52That powerful flying shoulder block.
09:54That did the job.
09:56One, two, three.
09:58And stiff.
10:01Callie Armstrong.
10:02Make some noise for my girl, Callie Armstrong, y'all.
10:08Congratulations under the tight defense.
10:10How are you feeling?
10:12Hey, Chewie.
10:13I warned you.
10:15And you see what happened.
10:17Anytime you step in the ring with the champ.
10:19With a difference maker.
10:21The same thing gonna happen every single time.
10:25That's how I roll.
10:29Hello.
10:31Carmen Petrovich is here on EVOL.
10:34You never know who's gonna show up on a Wednesday.
10:36Callie, Callie, Callie.
10:39Congratulations.
10:40Now that Jintala is out of your way.
10:42Let me remind you that we still have some unfinished business from NXT a few weeks ago.
10:48Now I'm not saying that you're ducking me or that you're scared of the shing shing action.
10:54But I gave you some time and you didn't show back up on NXT.
10:57So I'm here to officially make my EVOL debut and I'm not leaving without that championship.
11:08After their NXT match was ruined, it's official.
11:12Carmen Petrovich is here on EVOL.
11:16She's so hot.
11:16You could probably see her through your sunglasses.
11:18She's so dope.
11:19Boys.
11:20Yeah.
11:21Gentlemen.
11:22How we doing?
11:23Family.
11:23Game.
11:24Just had a great time with a great lady, but she wouldn't know Zeta Steele.
11:28I'll tell you that.
11:29You're well coined.
11:32Smoke show.
11:33Did any of you guys make out what Keanu said about us?
11:37Yeah, I did actually.
11:38He said he's coming after the top dogs of the WWE ID program.
11:42Alright, don't sweat it though.
11:43Boys.
11:44Honestly, I think Keanu's just a little bit jealous of the vanity project.
11:46And honestly, so is everyone else involved.
11:48Everyone wants a top spot, but that's just not gonna happen.
11:51Bro, we're at the top of everything right now.
11:53EVOL, the WWE ID program.
11:55Bro, we're even in a group chat with a North American champion, Ethan Page, right now.
11:59He's coming after my Evolve championship.
12:02I mean, have you seen Keanu?
12:03Bro's got hands of stone, tree trunk legs.
12:05And he's low-key crazy.
12:08That's true.
12:08I have been on his Twitter recently.
12:10He is a Hall of Fame champion.
12:14In addition to Keanu, I got that lost cause Brooks Jensen on my ass.
12:18Can the kid catch a break?
12:19Alright, Jackson.
12:20Dude, one thing at a time.
12:21One thing at a time.
12:22Look, eliminate and survive.
12:23That's the name of the game.
12:24And Smokes and I, we got your back, dude, okay?
12:26We talked to Stevie.
12:27We got Keanu a match against Bryce Donovan.
12:30He's gonna knock him down.
12:31Yeah, buddy.
12:32It's gonna be...
12:33Dude.
12:34Why didn't you tell me that?
12:36We just did.
12:38You got this, buddy.
12:39Yeah, is there a problem or something?
12:40I don't think it's that deep.
12:41Great.
12:41Bryce takes out Keanu, and our Keanu problem is solved.
12:45Good meeting, boys.
12:46Great meeting.
12:47Yeah, it's fun.
12:48Fantastic meeting.
12:50You got this.
12:52I still think you deserve your shot at the championship.
12:55It'll come, but you gotta have a bigger problem on your hands right now.
12:58Because what's going on with Wendy?
13:00Dude, I don't know.
13:01She's like stalking me.
13:02Yeah.
13:02She shows up out of nowhere.
13:03Weirdo.
13:04Doesn't talk.
13:05Nope.
13:05Doesn't move.
13:06And then she wants to disappear.
13:07It's honestly starting to piss me off.
13:09I don't blame you.
13:10And her popping up right behind you cost me my return match against Chintala.
13:15But nothing is sweeter than revenge.
13:17And that's exactly what I'm gonna get tonight.
13:18No, no, no, no, no.
13:20Let me have this match because I wanna go out there and rip her arm off.
13:23I know, and I feel your frustration.
13:25But this one's for me.
13:26I can do it for the both of us.
13:28I promise.
13:30All right, fine.
13:31Just leave me a piece of Wendy.
13:33I'll leave you that pillow.
13:34Ew.
13:35No, come on, let's go.
13:36Okay.
13:36As you just heard, the Vanity Project's Bryce Donovan's taking on Keanu Carver.
13:41But before that, Carly Bright looking to step up to stop the sleepy psycho Wendy Chu
13:46before she's able to further torment her bestie, Kendall Gray.
13:50It all goes down next on EVOL.
13:56Welcome, everyone, to the biggest event of the summer.
13:59For more than 35 years, SummerSlam has delivered some of the most amazing moments in WWE history.
14:08I am completely in shock right now.
14:11And in 2026, we will once again make history.
14:15Fasten your seat belts.
14:17It is about to go down.
14:19Let's go!
14:21Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
14:28Live from the world-class US Bank Stadium, WWE will bring two epic nights of SummerSlam to the Twin Cities.
14:40So there's only one question to ask.
14:43Are you ready?
14:52The next chapter of WWE ID started last Friday when Game Changer Wrestling presented the ID Showcase.
15:00The historic event saw the crowning of the first ever WWE ID men's and women's champions.
15:06The finals, Jack Hartwell versus Cappuccino Jones.
15:11They are friends and partners.
15:13Congratulations to Cappuccino Jones on becoming the inaugural men's champion.
15:18Our first ever WWE ID men's champion is Cappuccino Jones.
15:24Kylie Rae, Zara Zacker, and Zayda Steele.
15:28Triple Threat Match 4 WWE ID Women's Championship.
15:34And Kylie Rae are becoming the first women's champion.
15:37Kylie Rae has done it!
15:40The WWE ID championships will be exclusively defended all over the independent wrestling world
15:46against both WWE ID prospects and independent wrestlers.
15:51If an independent wrestler wins the WWE ID championship, they'll be signed to a WWE ID contract.
15:59This will start the ID prospects on the road to WWE Evolve, then NXT, and on to Raw or SmackDown.
16:11The opportunity has never been bigger for independent wrestlers.
16:15WWE scouts continue to watch independent wrestling promotions all over the world
16:20to find the next WWE superstars.
16:23You never know where or when the next WWE ID prospect will be discovered.
16:28Who will be the next independent prospect to be ID'd?
16:36But I want to welcome you, Carmen, here to Evolve.
16:39And I want to apologize again about what happened on NXT with your title match with Kylie.
16:43As long as I get a rematch, we're fine.
16:45Listen, I assure you, you will get everything that you did.
16:49No, no, no. I'm sorry, Prime Minister.
16:52Carmen, this is not NXT and I don't care what happens there, but this is Evolve
16:57and if anyone deserves a shot against Kali, it's going to be me.
17:02Tyra, you should care what happens on NXT.
17:04Because last time I checked, that's where you want to be, right?
17:07And I'm already on there.
17:09Whoa, ladies, ladies, ladies!
17:11There's no fighting in the Prime Minister's office, okay?
17:15It's great that you're both so hungry.
17:18Carmen, Tyra is right, this isn't NXT.
17:21This is Evolve.
17:22But Carmen, she does deserve that opportunity.
17:25So here's what I'm going to do.
17:27Next week, it's going to be Carmen Petrovic versus Tyra Mae Steele
17:31in a women's title eliminator match.
17:34I like that. You like that?
17:35Oh, yeah. I like that, too.
17:37Good.
17:37I'll see you next week.
17:38See ya.
17:39Brilliant.
17:40Sign me up, Robert Stone, next week.
17:42Let's do it.
17:45The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
17:48Introducing first, accompanied by Kendall Gray,
17:51from Kenosha, Wisconsin, Carly Wright.
17:57What do you think about that news, Robert Stone?
17:59Championship eliminator next week, Carmen and Tyra.
18:03Hands down, career-changing match for both of them.
18:07Whoever comes on top of that is definitely going to have a new path
18:10here in Evolve.
18:11Whoever loses finds themselves on the outside looking in
18:15as we take a look at Carly Wright getting ready for Wendy Chu.
18:20Kendall Gray with her best friend.
18:34And her opponent from the city that never sleeps,
18:40Wendy Chu!
18:44The Sleepy Psycho, legitimately one of the creepiest people
18:49in professional wrestling, Wendy Chu, is back at it now.
18:54It appears that she has Kendall Gray in her sight,
18:57but tonight she'll have to deal with her best friend, Carly Wright.
19:00Yeah, the gatekeeper of Evolve, the real-life Chucky Doll,
19:03the dream killer, the sleep demon, is back in action.
19:07The last time we saw her in action was that last woman's standing match.
19:10We saw how wild and crazy that was.
19:13So how much pent-up anger does she have in her since then,
19:17now that she's back in a place where she can let it all out?
19:21Hard to fully understand why Kendall Gray drew the ire of Wendy Chu,
19:27but that is where we are.
19:28You never can really understand what the sleep demon is thinking about.
19:31I don't know if I knew that.
19:33Well, here's the thing.
19:33Have you ever seen the movie The Strangers?
19:35Yeah, sure.
19:36The reason that the villains went after the nice people,
19:40the innocent people, was just because their light was off.
19:43It was just because they were bored.
19:44It was just because they were there.
19:45And I think Wendy was walking around somewhere,
19:47saw Kendall and just said to herself,
19:48hey, you know what? You're next.
19:50You may be right. That is certainly how it felt.
19:53Now the question is, can Carly Bright at the very least do something
19:56to slow down Wendy Chu, soften her up for Kendall Gray?
20:00And obviously, ideally, for Carly, get a W,
20:04which she absolutely needs in this women's division.
20:06Well, this past Sunday was National Sisters Day,
20:09and although Carly and Kendall aren't sisters by blood,
20:13they're kind of sisters by friendship.
20:15So she wanted to have this match.
20:16And, you know, she came to the ring smiling.
20:19And that's a very confident thing to do.
20:21That's a very new Carly thing to have a smile on your face
20:24when you're walking into a match with Wendy Chu.
20:26I know she wants retribution against her.
20:27She cost her a match against Jantala a few weeks ago.
20:30But, I mean, this is Wendy Chu she's going against.
20:33Now, I can't help but recall when you doubted the friendship,
20:37the camaraderie of Carly Bright and Kendall Gray.
20:40Are you surprised that they've really turned into a real team?
20:43I mean, when you looked at them a few months ago,
20:44they were very opposite, and I guess opposites attract
20:47because they're getting along great right now.
20:51Oh, my God!
20:52Terrifying look from Wendy Chu as she goes after Carly Bright.
20:55Bright quickly ducks under.
20:58Carly Bright very athletic.
21:02She has really been showing an aggressive side lately.
21:06The resident ray of sunshine is stronger than ever.
21:08This is indeed a new Carly, but this is indeed Wendy Chu she's going against.
21:13It may be a new Carly, but it's the same old Wendy Chu, and that is not good news
21:17if you are across the ring from the sleepy psycho.
21:21And she takes down Carly Bright and goes back to work.
21:23And don't forget, Wendy Chu, in addition to all the weird tactics,
21:26she is just capable of some good old technical wrestling as well.
21:30Her speed is like no other.
21:32It is scary, fast, pun intended.
21:35She knows what she's doing between those ropes.
21:39There's that athleticism I was just talking about with Carly Bright.
21:42She sends down Wendy Chu.
21:44Wendy Chu will not be deterred and tries to go back to work on the arm of Carly Bright.
21:50Carly looking to spit out of things, use that athleticism to get herself free, and she does just that.
21:56Those are definitely some wrestling holds she has been practicing and training with her friend Kendall.
22:02You cannot practice for that.
22:04The face of that lunatic staring up at you, but smart stuff right there from Carly.
22:09And she'll go for an innovative pin, and Wendy Chu will kick out at two.
22:12And now a roll-up from Carly Bright, and another kick out from Wendy.
22:18Kick to the gut of Carly Bright.
22:21You know, it's a very bizarre situation, even when offense is being done to Wendy.
22:26Even when she's getting pinned, she still seems to have a smile on her face.
22:30It's almost like, does she like pain?
22:32Does she like the fact that she's toying with Carly and letting Carly think maybe she has a chance of
22:36winning this match?
22:37I don't know.
22:39Well, it begs the question, whose smile do you prefer, that of Carly Bright or Wendy Chu?
22:43Two beautiful smiles.
22:44I mean, who do you think I'm picking?
22:45I've had nightmares about Wendy Chu.
22:48Now, you are aware that there's a smile drawn onto her face as well.
22:51You're aware of that?
22:52Yeah, there's two or three of them.
22:53Okay.
22:54Beautiful dropkick by Carly.
22:56And there's Wendy Chu with the ring awareness rolling out.
22:59Catching a break on the outside.
23:01Will Carly follow?
23:02Looks like she will.
23:05And as Kendall distracts, Carly Bright takes advantage.
23:09And takes down Wendy Chu.
23:11More of this match next, right here on E-Ball.
23:16This November, the Padres' home field gets a whole new lineup.
23:21When WWE-
23:23An absolutely incredible scene.
23:27It's Petco Park.
23:29A slugfest for the ages.
23:33My goodness.
23:36The epic performance that no one will ever forget.
23:41WWE Survivor Series San Diego, tickets on sale now.
23:47Welcome back to WWE Evolve.
23:50Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone, and Wendy Chu, and Carly Bright in the middle of a good one right here.
23:57Carly Bright, Robert, decided to take this match earlier today and may be regretting it right now.
24:03That was not a good landing.
24:05And remember, Kendall offered to step in and have the match.
24:08Carly said, no, I want this match.
24:10She said, no, I want Wendy Chu.
24:12Who says that out loud?
24:13You know who says that?
24:14It's called being a real one, Robert Stone.
24:15You ever heard that?
24:16I'm not a real one when it comes to Wendy.
24:18I'm not putting my life on the line, my body on the line against someone like this.
24:22Just look at this woman.
24:25You said it.
24:26It is a lot to take in Wendy Chu if you're standing across the ring from that face and demonic
24:33style.
24:34And also the athleticism is a straight right hand or two from Carly Bright.
24:38She's gonna try to take out Wendy Chu with fists.
24:41Wendy responds.
24:43Doing her best to stay alive but right back down.
24:46Going for a pin two.
24:48And she'll catch a two count on Carly Bright as you see Kendall Gray looking on at her best friend.
24:54Yeah, I feel like now Kendall might be getting a little worried and maybe having second thoughts about not talking
24:59Carly out of this match.
25:01Because she's in a bad predicament right here.
25:04Kendall Gray did try.
25:05She wanted to be in it.
25:06But Carly Bright said, as you pointed out, absolutely not.
25:09I got you.
25:10And now she finds herself in a tough spot with Wendy Chu.
25:14Peter, your neck, your head is not supposed to be stretched that way.
25:18Yeah, she has turned the wrong way.
25:20She's not a chiropractor.
25:21No.
25:22I'm aware of that.
25:23She's not a physical therapist.
25:25She's a professional wrestler, Robert.
25:27That's right.
25:29Wendy Chu looking to get Carly Bright up in there.
25:31Could do it.
25:32Bright responds with a close line as the non-chiropractor going to work on Wendy Chu.
25:38Well, she does have heart and heart equals fight.
25:41She is fighting.
25:43Ducks under.
25:44Nice jumping neck breaker.
25:47Connecting with the neck breaker and standing moonsault goes for a pin.
25:52Can she take out Wendy Chu?
25:53She cannot.
25:55She is throwing everything she could possibly throw at Wendy, but it's not enough.
26:00And I think Carly right now is just looking almost puzzled.
26:02What does she have to do?
26:04It appears Carly may have Wendy scouted, but Wendy gets out of the way on that one.
26:09Elbow there from Carly Bright to send Wendy Chu really.
26:13Now Carly looks to go up top.
26:15Slap to the face.
26:16This didn't go well the first time she went up top.
26:18It absolutely did not.
26:20That's a great point.
26:22She's going to try again and go all the way to the top rope.
26:25Carly Bright.
26:26What's she have in store?
26:27She hits it.
26:28Cross body.
26:29Turns into a pin.
26:31Kick out on two.
26:33As Wendy Chu took that high cross body from the top rope.
26:36Road right into a pin.
26:38But Carly Bright able to kick out.
26:41Carly.
26:43More innovation there.
26:44Turning things around.
26:46Impressive.
26:47And looking again to roll up Wendy Chu.
26:49Wendy kicks out.
26:50Wait a minute.
26:51Are we going dirt nap?
26:52Why don't you reverse it?
26:53And a dirt nap turns into a pin.
26:56Bright kicks out.
26:57Boom.
26:58Capitalized Carly.
26:59Carly's gonna go for another pinfall.
27:01Can she take out Wendy Chu?
27:03Two and three quarters.
27:04She almost beat Wendy Chu.
27:06I'm sweating.
27:08How disenchanting is it when you go for a pinfall in a moment like that?
27:11You think you have someone and they kick out at the last moment.
27:14You need to keep moving.
27:15That's the thing.
27:15You can't sit there and think about it.
27:17This is Wendy Chu.
27:17You gotta make a move.
27:19Carly Bright, you're right.
27:20Needs to take advantage right now and try to score another pin.
27:23You cannot let Wendy get back into this thing.
27:26They're exchanging blows and now kicks in the middle of the ring.
27:30I never thought I'd be seeing Wendy and Carly going back and forth, but I'm here for it.
27:35Carly's got Wendy up.
27:37And Wendy Chu has turned it around.
27:40Man, that monster clothesline looking for dirt nap.
27:44She's got it locked in.
27:47Is Carly gonna tap?
27:50Carly, do it.
27:52He's locked in and she is in the middle of the ring.
27:54Not a lot of people escape the dirt nap, Robert Stone.
27:58And she's looked like-
28:00That's it.
28:01She passed out.
28:03Yeah.
28:03She took the nap.
28:05Here is your winner by submission, Wendy Chu.
28:12Wendy Chu bounces back, locks in the dirt nap.
28:16A valiant effort from Carly Bright.
28:19But in the end, in the middle of the ring, nowhere to go.
28:23Completely wrapped up.
28:24She loses air and passes out.
28:26Hey, she never gave up.
28:27No shame in that.
28:29You see the distraction from Kendall Gray.
28:32Carly Bright took advantage on the outside early on.
28:35As the offense was intense, that big neck breaker from Carly.
28:39She had a moment right there.
28:40But then, that monster clothesline.
28:43The perfect setup.
28:46And while Carly Bright never tapped, she showed a lot of resilience.
28:51A lot of heart.
28:51She passes out.
28:53Wendy Chu gets the win.
28:55And you see the concern there, Robert.
28:57Kendall Gray looking at Wendy Chu.
29:00Let's send things backstage.
29:01To our colleague, Chewie Martinez.
29:04Evolve fam, how you doing?
29:05Chewie Martinez here hanging out with my buddy, Tate Wilder.
29:08And I gotta say, man, congratulations on your first Evolve match, my friend.
29:12The thoughts, what's going on through your head, brother?
29:14Chewie, I appreciate that.
29:16Yeah.
29:16You know, it was so nice to finally get on that horse.
29:20It was like when you're riding a dirt bike and you see this big old hill and you just gotta
29:23send it full throttle.
29:24In there.
29:26Unfortunately, things just didn't go my way.
29:29I guess that's why Idris is EOE for a reason.
29:32Yeah.
29:32Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
29:34Gosh.
29:36You didn't jump any hill.
29:38You crashed and burned.
29:40Now, Chewie, I don't know why you're interviewing this man.
29:43You know, better yet, let me take over his interview.
29:45Let me do a little interview.
29:46Hold on, hold on, hold on.
29:47Wow.
29:48We were having a conversation here.
29:49Yeah.
29:50You come in like a fox in the chicken coop, stirring things up for no reason.
29:53You are nothing more than what I was in 2022, a young, immature cowboy who is soon gonna realize that
30:00in this place, you get chewed up and spit out and left jaded.
30:05All right, wait, wait, wait a minute, Brooks.
30:06You walk out on Jordan Oasis and now you're interrupting interviews.
30:10What is the deal here, brother?
30:11What are you trying to prove?
30:12Look, Jordan was an interesting cat.
30:14He's a nomad.
30:16He's a man of the road.
30:17I thought if I could help him, he could help me.
30:20Okay.
30:21But then I realized that he was nothing more than a dead end and a dead weight just like the
30:28man that I'm looking at right now.
30:30Hold up, hold up.
30:31First Ridge is talking crap.
30:33And now you, Brooks?
30:34Yeah.
30:35Well, if Ridge doesn't have the fortitude to get in the ring with me, maybe you do.
30:41Whoa.
30:43Light work.
30:45Go find Stevie.
30:48Keanu Carver, Bryce Donovan, main event coming up next.
30:52Tate, you good?
30:55Let's go.
31:00I've been around the block a few times in my WWE career.
31:03Some have moved on to Raw and SmackDown.
31:06Some have moved out.
31:07But I'm still here.
31:10Every NXT coconut live event, fighting through injuries, keeping myself sharp and ready for anything that comes my way.
31:18So an opportunity in Evolve showed up.
31:21And I took it.
31:22Drove in head first.
31:24It's easy to get cynical.
31:26But I never expected it from you, Idris.
31:30You turn into someone you're not.
31:32Why?
31:33Because you didn't get special treatment?
31:36You look like a star, carry yourself like a star.
31:39But just because you call yourself the EOE, doesn't mean you should be head of championships.
31:44You got to go out and earn it.
31:46And that is the difference between you and me.
31:49You take shortcuts while I go the long way.
31:52I climb up the hill while you scheme how someone is going to carry you up.
31:56I talk to Stevie Turner.
31:58And next week, I'll be right back.
32:03This time, Dante Chen gives you the Singaporean ass-whooping you've earned.
32:12Wow.
32:13A lot there from Dante Chen.
32:16Idris and Dante both seasoned performers.
32:19And next Wednesday, they face off once again.
32:21Let's see who will have the performance that stands out most in the eyes of PM Stevie Turner.
32:27And speaking of Stevie Turner, we saw her make this epic match official earlier tonight.
32:32It'll be the formidable Carmen Petrovic against Olympic gold medalist and LFG Season 1 winner Tyra Maysteel
32:40in an Evolve Women's Championship Eliminator match next Wednesday right here on WWE Evolve.
32:46Let's go.
32:48But right now, it is time to turn up, Peter, because the party is officially here.
32:56Hey, this past weekend at SummerSlam MetLife Stadium, did you see everybody just randomly throwing up Vs?
33:01Everybody was throwing up the Vs.
33:03I did not see that.
33:04But Brad Baylor, Jackson Drake, Ricky Smokes, of course the champion introducing his heater, Bryce Donovan.
33:14You have a little more energy, Peter.
33:16The big man.
33:17I mean, great minds think alike, and clearly they think in blue.
33:19Look at them all matching in the blue.
33:20How cool is this?
33:21I thought I was giving a very fair introduction to Bryce Donovan.
33:25You think I'm not excited.
33:25I'll tell you who wasn't excited.
33:26Bryce Donovan, when he found out he had to face Keanu Carver tonight.
33:30I mean, I agree with you there.
33:32Threw him off a little bit, but it is what it is.
33:34He's Bryce Donovan.
33:35He is undefeated in singles competition and Evolve.
33:38And he's ready for Keanu Carver.
33:41All right, well, let's take a look back.
33:43Keanu Carver had a big win over Super Sean Legacy, and he had a lot to say after the win.
33:51I told you, ain't nobody in that ID project gonna stop me.
33:54That's another one there.
33:56Can't let him touch me.
33:57Not Jackson Drake.
33:58Not the Vanity Project.
34:00I'm coming for every single ass one of y'all.
34:05So, imagine you're Bryce Donovan.
34:08And you show up to the building today.
34:10You think you're just hanging out, maybe working out a little bit.
34:13And you find out you are facing this behemoth with this kind of attitude, Keanu Carver.
34:18I'm taking nothing away from Keanu.
34:21I'm not saying it's going to be hard competition.
34:23I'm just saying, I just mentioned it.
34:25We're talking about Bryce Donovan, a man who's undefeated.
34:29A man who's beat Timothy Thatcher.
34:31A man who's beat Sean Legacy.
34:33It's not just a nobody in here.
34:34Absolutely not.
34:35And those names you mentioned are great.
34:37But Keanu Carver's a different kind of dude.
34:45The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
34:49One fall.
34:50Introducing first, from Long Beach, New York, weighing at 230 pounds, representing the Vanity Project.
34:58Bryce Donovan.
35:04And his opponent, from Washington, D.C., weighing at 290 pounds, Keanu Carver.
35:18All righty.
35:19Our main event here on WWE Evolve every single Wednesday night on Tubi, 8 p.m.
35:29I'm Peter Rosenberg.
35:30The man next to me, Robert Stone, the former sheriff of TNA.
35:35And look at Bryce Donovan going to work right away, Peter.
35:39How aggressive is he right on Keanu, right from the belt?
35:43Well, you tell me, is that absolutely the right way to play this?
35:47You have to just go right after this man?
35:49Why wouldn't it be?
35:50You don't want to waste anything.
35:51Time waits for Nomad.
35:53This is the main event of Evolve.
35:54He wants to keep his undefeated streak alive.
35:57Now you're telling me there'd be no benefit to maybe just trying to stick and move,
36:02stay away, get outside the ring, tire the guy out.
36:06I don't know if going after him is the smartest thing.
36:08I mean, we're not talking about someone that's half Keanu's size.
36:11We're talking about someone who just gave him a shot and took him off the apron.
36:14You're absolutely right.
36:15Bryce Donovan, a big man himself, with a lot of power in both hands, athletic as well.
36:20But this is the problem.
36:22You're dealing with an absolute beast.
36:25And not only that, Keanu Carver, as you heard him earlier, has a battery in his back.
36:30He wants to take out the entire ID program, and he wants to get started this week with Bryce Donovan.
36:36Whether it's the ring, the floor, the locker room, clearly he will fight anyone, anywhere.
36:41We gotta take a break.
36:43We will be right back.
36:44You're making a rookie mistake right now.
36:46Keep your eyes on your opponent.
36:50The WWE Vive is louder than ever.
36:59And they're bringing the noise city to city.
37:03We, we, we take it now.
37:06We take it now.
37:07We take it now.
37:07We, we, we take it now.
37:10We take it now.
37:11We take it now.
37:14We on the way.
37:15So get ready to join the action.
37:1811 brand new events.
37:21Tickets on sale now.
37:26Welcome back to your main event.
37:29Bryce Donovan of the Vanity Project and Keanu Carver.
37:32Donovan was tossed into this match earlier by his Padres.
37:36Nasty!
37:37Big boot.
37:38He's gonna try to pin the big man.
37:40And Keanu's out on two.
37:42And think about this, Peter.
37:43Bryce just found out about this match today.
37:45He didn't have all week to prepare for this match with someone like Keanu Carver.
37:50He's just going into this almost blind.
37:52And look what he's doing to the big man.
37:55Donovan going to work.
37:56The big man from Long Beach, New York.
37:58Playing in those shots.
38:01This is why he's the heavy of the Vanity Project.
38:04Of the VP.
38:05Gonna try to get another pin.
38:06I don't think Keanu's going down.
38:09Another two count.
38:10As the Vanity Project looks on.
38:13Next Wednesday, Idris Hinofe and Dante Chin is gonna be a hell of a matchup.
38:18Both guys looking to impress our PM, Stevie Turner.
38:21Donovan's gonna try to pick up Keanu Carver.
38:25And yeah, that didn't work out.
38:27And there's the power we're talking about.
38:30Donovan finds his way out.
38:32Kicked the rope right into his throat.
38:34And now took his head off with a clothesline.
38:36Shades of JBL, that clothesline.
38:39I'm telling you, I have never seen Keanu rocking like this.
38:44Now another pin.
38:46I like Donovan continues to try to put this thing away.
38:50And man, that clothesline had some power.
38:52And now he kicked out of the pin and right into the rear.
38:56Chin lock.
38:57Got him locked in.
38:58He is not wasting any space.
39:00Not wasting any time as the champ.
39:02Jackson Drake is looking on with a smile on his face.
39:04So why wouldn't he?
39:05Well, he's smiling.
39:06But you know, it sort of reminds me of like in a boxing match.
39:09You know when a boxer smiles because they're trying to pretend they didn't get tagged.
39:13But they did.
39:13I wonder if Jackson Drake just a bit nervous about what he's been hearing.
39:18What are you trying to say right now?
39:19That there's a target on his back from everyone in the locker room.
39:23Including the big man in the ring right now.
39:25And he's here for it.
39:25He's a fighting champion.
39:27He's the first ever evolved champion.
39:29He's ready for it.
39:30He may be, but that doesn't mean you don't have concerns.
39:33You would certainly like to see, as you put it, the heavy of the vanity project.
39:38At least do some damages.
39:40Now Jackson Drake talking trash to Keanu in the corner.
39:43Speaking of concerns, I've been concerned for the whole WWE ID program.
39:47Because Keanu has been taking him out one by one like Jaws took out his people.
39:52One by one in the ocean.
39:53What's good for Keanu is good for Donovan.
39:57A big clothesline there from Carver, who is now taking it to Bryce Donovan,
40:02who is looking like he's dreaming of being back in Long Beach.
40:07My goodness, the power from Carver.
40:10He just threw the big man around like a ragdoll.
40:12That's a human he's throwing.
40:15Can't help but notice a little bit of nerves from the vanity project.
40:21You saw Ricky Smokes jumping up and down.
40:23You see a little bit of impatience now from the champion.
40:25I see some sweat now.
40:26I see him sweating.
40:27Carver's now going for a pin.
40:30Donovan kicks out.
40:32Vanity Project been on an epic run so far in WWE Evolve, but so has Keanu Carver.
40:42He is as powerful a man as exists in the ID program where we have some of the best young
40:48talent in the world competing.
40:51Bryce Donovan going to work from the top rope.
40:55Keanu Carver decided he's had enough.
40:58And now what's gonna happen?
41:00A right hand to Donovan.
41:02Keanu Carver is a loose cannon.
41:05He's capable of anything.
41:06Can he control himself to make sure he wins an actual match and doesn't get himself disqualified?
41:12And doesn't do something stupid to ruin it for himself?
41:15He needs to control what he's doing.
41:17There have been moments when he has fully let go and his desire to harm has surpassed his desire to
41:24win.
41:24He's looking to stay focused tonight.
41:26Wait a second.
41:27That's a lot of weight on Bryce's shoulders right now.
41:30Where are we going?
41:31Down.
41:32The ring shook.
41:34Bryce Donovan's got a chance to pin Keanu Carver.
41:39Bryce, why are we still out of here?
41:41Why are we still out of here?
41:45What are we doing yet?
41:47Do you, do you got it?
41:49Wow.
41:50Do you got it?
41:51This is not what you're looking for if you're a fan of the Vanity Project, Robert Stone.
41:55A little bit of the sacks, Peter.
41:57A little bit of dissent between members.
42:00And now the Samoan drop.
42:03And Bryce Donovan looking to get out of harm's way.
42:10Man, there was already some issues earlier today.
42:13Donovan seems surprised about this matchup.
42:15And now Jackson Drake seems disappointed in the performance so far.
42:18Back to that throat.
42:19He just took Keanu right to the middle rope.
42:22What?
42:23What?
42:25Chair!
42:26What are you talking about?
42:28Chair!
42:29Donovan's calling for a chair.
42:34Ricky Smokes is now trying to seek out a chair.
42:36What are we doing here, Ricky?
42:38And what are you doing, Bryce Donovan?
42:40You're in this match.
42:42It's not like he has no chance.
42:43Wait, Jensen, what's Brooks here?
42:45Now the aforementioned Brooks Jensen is back.
42:49He's squaring up with the champ, and watch out!
42:51Jordan Oasis!
42:53Jordan Oasis has had beef with Jensen ever since he walked out on him in that tag match.
42:58But come on, there's a match going on!
43:00All right, now Baylor finally gets the chair.
43:03Bryce, turn around!
43:06Watch out!
43:08Pounce!
43:10Oh, that is a tough one to get up from, and he did!
43:13But now, that's gonna do it for Bryce Donovan!
43:22Here is your winner, Keanu Carver!
43:29What a win for Keanu Carver, and what a bad moment for the Vanity Project.
43:35We're gonna be talking about this for quite a while.
43:38As you see the champ, Jackson Drake, looking right at Keanu Carver.
43:42Let's take a look back.
43:43Bryce Donovan really brought a lot of power and impressive offense.
43:47You see the power slam, the electric chair.
43:50He had Keanu Carver rocking for a moment.
43:53A lot of innovative offense.
43:55Donovan did his thing, but then the melee outside the ring between Brooks Jensen and Jordan Oasis
44:01distracted the Vanity Project from getting that chair, and it leads to the Pounce.
44:07And then in the end, Keanu Carver, his eyes on the prize, one, two, three.
44:12He takes out Bryce Donovan.
44:14It was a huge win for Keanu, who took out the heavy of the VP.
44:19And if you're looking, you can see where his eyes are headed.
44:22They are straight on the Evolve Champion, Jackson Drake.
44:25It was a great night.
44:27We'll see you next week right here on WWE Evolve on Tubi.
44:32Arecush!
