00:00Now, forever, together.
00:19Now, forever, together, together, together.
00:49Now, forever, together, together, together, together, together, together.
01:19In a fatal four-way elimination match, a WWE Evolved Champion will be crowned tonight.
01:32But before that, after an elimination match of their own last week.
01:38The real-life Chucky Doll has risen back up.
01:41And Wendy Chew is eliminated.
01:43What power by Callie Armstrong.
01:46Kendall's gonna fly again.
01:47Kylie Rae breaks it up.
01:48He looks for a pin.
01:49And then there was two.
01:51Callie's feeling it.
01:52She lands it.
01:53The Callie Connection.
01:54Your first WWE Evolved Women's Champion, Callie Armstrong.
02:00We hear from the inaugural Evolved Women's Champion, Callie Armstrong, next.
02:06The Callie Podcast.
02:36My name's Peter Rosenberg.
02:39I'm joined by my guy, Robert Stone.
02:41And tonight, we will crown a Men's Evolved Champion.
02:47History will be made tonight.
02:50But, here's a woman who already made history last week.
03:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your first ever WWE Evolved Women's Champion, Callie Armstrong.
03:15What a match last week.
03:23Look at her.
03:23Look how great she looks at that championship.
03:25She beat out three other competitors to win that.
03:28She earned it.
03:29And she is here as our first ever Women's Evolved Champion.
03:32She earned it.
04:02Hey, I like the way that sounds.
04:07How about y'all?
04:07You like the way that sounds?
04:11I did what I said I was going to do.
04:14Listen.
04:15I've been here for a year and a half, and this is what I'm on.
04:19They say it only gets harder from here, but that's cool.
04:23I ain't ducking none of them chicks in that locker room.
04:26I'm ready to go at it with each and every one of them, so that when I get to NXT, they know who the difference maker is.
04:32But right now, I'm at the top of this women's division, and all I want to know is, who's going to be my first competitor?
04:42I just want to be the first to congratulate you for being the first Evolved Women's Champion.
04:58Guys, give it up.
04:59Give it up.
05:00Because if you won't, I will.
05:02That match was a classic.
05:05It really was.
05:06But you know what?
05:09I just realized.
05:10You and I now have something in common.
05:15We're both history makers, actually.
05:18You're the first Evolved Women's Champion.
05:22And these people already know it, but I'm going to just say it.
05:25I'm the first WID prospect.
05:29So from one difference maker to another, I just want to say you're lucky.
05:36You're lucky.
05:48Callie, okay, that's right.
05:54Callie, Callie, Callie.
05:56Hey, girl.
05:58Congratulations, new champ.
06:00I'm Big Cat Keita, but you already knew that.
06:04But it's so good to meet you, for real.
06:07Like, I'm really honored to meet you.
06:08And I talked to Stevie Turner, and I told her that once they crown a new champ to call me,
06:16so here I am.
06:18Nikita, how about me?
06:21No, Zeta, Zeta, Zeta.
06:22Girl, you cute.
06:23You are cute.
06:25And you know I have respect for you, girl.
06:26Aw, thank you.
06:27But when it comes to gold, I am not afraid to pounce first.
06:35Listen, listen, listen.
06:36Y'all both doing a lot of big talking right now, but I don't see y'all doing nothing to prove that y'all really want this title.
06:42Bet.
06:44Oof.
06:45We have descended into chaos early here.
06:50The new women's champion taking it to Zeta Steele and Nikita Lyons.
06:54Throat chakra kick.
06:55It is all about the Evolve Women's Championship.
06:58Hold on.
07:02The boat, the low-key legend is here.
07:06Natalya taking everybody out.
07:12Well, a sharp shooter for Zeta Steele.
07:14And Nikita's helping Zeta Steele have the ring.
07:17Natalya awarded the title to Callie Armstrong last week.
07:26And now she is here to break things up as we descend into chaos early on WWE Evolve.
07:35When you're the champion, you have a target on your back.
07:49And Natalya, she knows that better than most.
07:51Callie Armstrong was crowned the first women's champion last week.
07:56But this week, we focus on the men's division.
07:59Championship gold awaits one of these four prospects.
08:02As we see Idris Inoufé, Shawn Legacy, Keanu Carver, and Jackson Drake compete
08:08in a fatal four-way elimination match to crown the first ever WWE Evolve Men's Champion.
08:15That's tonight in our main event.
08:18Huge main event.
08:19But up next, we've got an Evolve debut.
08:22The ink on her contract's not even dry yet.
08:25And Jintala has her first match against Evolve's perpetual ray of sunshine.
08:30Carly Bright, it should be a, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait a second.
08:35Not again.
08:36Another backstage attack.
08:37This time, Carly White getting attacked.
08:39I don't know.
08:40I think someone pushed me.
08:41Is your arm?
08:41Is your arm?
08:42Okay.
08:43All right, stay here.
08:43We're gonna get you some help.
08:44Medical, medical.
08:45Who could be behind this?
08:47Get some medical.
08:48Stay here.
08:50Saturday, Los Angeles hosts two epic events.
08:55WWE Worlds Collide featuring AAA Lucha Libre.
09:01My, oh, my.
09:02How good is this?
09:04And WWE Money in the Bay.
09:06The opportunity of a lifetime.
09:08Rise above the rest.
09:13WWE Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank in Los Angeles.
09:17Saturday, individual event tickets on sale now.
09:25Carly, I'm really sorry this happened to you.
09:28This shouldn't be happening here at Evolve.
09:29It's not your fault.
09:30I mean, I'm a little dinged up, but I can go.
09:33We'll see.
09:34But for now, did you see who attacked you?
09:36No, it was a drive-by.
09:38They were wearing a black hoodie, but that's all I know.
09:40Doc, what are we saying?
09:42No serious injuries, so it's up to you, Carly.
09:45I'm gonna compete.
09:46I can do this.
09:47Okay.
09:48I'm sure she'll go.
09:49Okay.
09:49I'm sure she'll go.
09:55Tonight means something to me, man.
09:58Those other three, they just want the glory, the prestige, the fame.
10:03Nah, that ain't me.
10:04For me, that Evolve title, that's my ticket out.
10:08And I'll be damned if I go back to the streets of D.C.
10:12Y'all don't get what I had to do to get here.
10:15So when I step in that ring with them three,
10:17I'm gonna beat the brakes off them boys.
10:20From the streets of D.C. to the Evolve championship,
10:23I'm gonna show y'all what I'm about.
10:25And then y'all gonna remember the name.
10:27Keanu.
10:28Carver.
10:32This is it.
10:33This is it.
10:33My moment.
10:34Eight long years for this.
10:36Eight long years.
10:37You taught me everything.
10:38You taught me everything.
10:43You're ready.
10:44You're damn right I'm ready.
10:46It's time for me to create my legacy.
10:50Three, two, one.
10:53Three, two, one.
10:55Three, two, one.
10:58Your opening contest is getting the full on fall.
11:02Introducing first from St. Mary's County, Maryland,
11:06Jen Pala.
11:07All right.
11:12Well, we will find out how Carly Bright is doing.
11:17And of course,
11:19fierce words as always from our women's champion,
11:23Tally Armstrong.
11:24Yeah, that's right.
11:24But hey,
11:25let's talk about the debut of Jintala here at Evolve.
11:28A lot of pressure comes with that straight from LFG.
11:31Let's see.
11:32She looks like a star.
11:32Let's see if she could wrestle like a star.
11:43And her opponent from Kenosha, Wisconsin, Carly Bright.
11:48Well, Carly now clearly favoring that left shoulder a bit.
11:55But she's going to give it a go.
11:57Yeah, I mean, normally she's the resident ray of sunshine, the girl next door.
12:00But I kind of think there was a dark cloud over her today.
12:03The sun wasn't out because, I mean, her arm's not working too well.
12:06Someone with a black hood took her out.
12:07But she's still here.
12:09She has heart.
12:10I will give her that.
12:11But listen, if I'm Jintala, if this is my debut, I'm not trying to make friends.
12:15I am doing one thing, Peter.
12:17One thing.
12:18When this bell rings, I am attacking that left shoulder immediately.
12:23Which begs the question, how hard is it?
12:25And I'm not being rhetorical here.
12:27How hard is it, Robert, to work effectively with one shoulder, one arm?
12:32I mean, think about doing anything.
12:34Think about doing anything.
12:34Any kind of athletic thing, missing a limb, missing a body part.
12:38You are automatically at a disadvantage.
12:41Okay, see, I like what she's doing right now.
12:43She's going right after that arm, right after that shoulder.
12:46That makes me say she knows what she's doing in the ring.
12:49And I appreciate that.
12:54Kinfall early for Jintala.
12:59And like you said, she is going to go to work right away.
13:02Do the smart veteran thing.
13:04She may be a rook, but she knows what to do.
13:06She's been trained.
13:07She's been trained.
13:08Yeah, she's been trained on LFG.
13:09She was on Team Booker T.
13:10She sat under the tree of knowledge of Booker T, a hall of famer.
13:14She's got to live up to that.
13:15Think of what she's learned from him.
13:17If she could apply one-tenth of that in this match, she's sure as saying, wait.
13:20Oh, she's going to get pinned.
13:21Now, any extra pressure from working with those great trainers in the spotlight of LFG?
13:26Oh, absolutely.
13:26I mean, you know right now he is watching this at home,
13:29and he's still evaluating everything she is doing.
13:32His name is on her.
13:33What she does, you know, reflects him.
13:36So she's got to live up to that.
13:38Carly Bright working through the pain right now with young Jintala.
13:44I got to say this.
13:45Carly and Kendall may have a lot more in common than they originally thought
13:48because Kendall a few weeks ago when she got taken out by Callie Armstrong,
13:52she still performed that night against Nikita Lyons with an injured leg.
13:56And her partner, wait, pinfall.
13:58Her partner is doing the same thing right now.
14:00So both of them have heart.
14:03And Carly Bright is finding a way.
14:05Do you give Carly Bright credit for fighting through this?
14:07I certainly do.
14:08Pain is the price.
14:09Heart is the weapon.
14:10She's got heart, man.
14:11Well, listen, one thing she has is experience, too, on Jintala.
14:17It's almost like these things cancel each other out, right?
14:20Carly Bright has more experience, but she's also down a limb.
14:22Can Jintala take advantage and score a win in Evolve?
14:28Only time will tell.
14:29But that was a nasty throw right there on her shoulder,
14:32and she needs to capitalize.
14:33And back to your point.
14:35She's got to, there you go.
14:36She's got to follow that strategy that you brought up.
14:38Go to work on that left shoulder, which she is doing right now.
14:42Yeah, 100% she should.
14:43There's a bullseye on it.
14:44Wait a minute, here we go.
14:45And she's going to go for another pinfall.
14:46And get a two count.
14:48And you've got to think still, like I talked about earlier, the pressure.
14:51This is her Evolve debut, Peter.
14:53You only get one debut.
14:54That only happens one time.
14:56You want to make an impression.
14:58All eyes are on her.
14:59You want to advance to NXT at some point.
15:01You want to eventually go to Raw or SmackDown.
15:03It all starts here in this match in her debut.
15:06Well, don't forget about what Carly Bright wants to prove, though.
15:09This is a woman who was left out.
15:11She was not a part of the Women's Fatal 4-Way.
15:13She's seen her tag team partner, Kendall Gray, succeed so far and gain quite a bit of notoriety.
15:19She has something to prove.
15:20And now she has to do it with this injured shoulder.
15:23Yeah, well, right now she's proving that you don't have to have strength.
15:25But if you have heart, you will find a way to fight through the pain.
15:28And she's fighting right now.
15:29Oh, now are you getting on the Carly Bright bandwagon now?
15:31There's no bandwagon I'm off.
15:33Because you've hated on her many times.
15:34You've hated on her many times.
15:35Pinfall.
15:35I was not hating on her.
15:37You called her a cheerleader.
15:39You didn't think Kendall Gray wanted to be your friend.
15:40I called her a cheerleader because she was a cheerleader, Peter.
15:43Well, that is true.
15:44She didn't have Pop-Pop's elbow there.
15:45She showed me something she hasn't shown before.
15:48A lot of heart here from Carly Bright.
15:50Can she get it done?
15:55Oh, Bulldog into the corner.
15:58But you could see that hurt the shoulder.
16:00Can she get the pinfall?
16:01Or did she take too long?
16:03Yeah, it just took too long for her to score the pin.
16:05I don't think she has a choice.
16:07I mean, she is in a lot of pain.
16:08You could see it in the way she's moving.
16:10You could see it in her facial expressions.
16:12So do you start thinking as a competitor,
16:14how do I get this thing over with as quickly as humanly possible?
16:17I mean, at this point, I don't know if she's thinking anything.
16:19She is hurting.
16:20She could be blocked out.
16:22Knees to the face of Jintala.
16:24Could that be enough for Carly Bright?
16:27Her legs still work, but that didn't.
16:30Just a bit slow.
16:31And instead, Jintala going back to work on that shoulder.
16:35Wait a minute.
16:35She's got her locked in.
16:37Oh, goodness.
16:37The Bakunawa bind.
16:39Oh, that is it.
16:43Here is your winner, Jintala.
16:49It was not gritty.
16:51But it was gritty.
16:54Jintala finds a way to get a win over the very gutsy Carly Bright.
17:01Let's take a look back.
17:03Yeah, Carly showed a lot of heart, which, you know, I think we all expected from her.
17:06But unfortunately, that can only get you so far with one arm.
17:09You can see she almost had it here, but missed the standing moonsault and the newcomer showing
17:15some veteran awareness, like we said.
17:17Jintala capitalizing and going for the hurt arm, leaving Carly with no choice but to tap
17:23out and tap out quick.
17:25One match, one win.
17:27Peter Jintala is off to quite a start here in his golf.
17:30From a rising prospect in the women's division, the four ladies competing to become the inaugural
17:36Evolve Women's Champion.
17:37It was last week that in a fatal four-way elimination match, the devious and dominating
17:42Wendy Chu took the full force from all three of her competitors with the final nail in the
17:49coffin coming from Kylie Rae, someone Wendy has been obsessed with since the very start
17:54of WWE Evolve.
17:55A short time later, after the match was over and victory slipped from the grasp of Kylie,
17:59we can see here, Wendy Chu was stalking her prey and unbeknownst to Kylie, on the other
18:06side of the curve, the sleepy psycho was ready to deliver a horror show.
18:10Yeah, Kylie was the one to eliminate Chu from that title bout, and Wendy was right there
18:18waiting for her as she headed through the curtain.
18:34Yeah, the nightmare just never ends for Kylie.
18:38Wow.
18:40Kylie Rae, it looks like Wendy Chu is still haunting you, buddy.
18:43I know.
18:44You see, since coming to Evolve, Wendy Chu has stuck her nose in my business week after
18:49week.
18:50And yes, she may have beaten me twice, but when I eliminated her from that fatal four-way
18:55women's title match, I thought it was over.
18:58And I hate to admit this, Chewy, but Wendy Chu is the only person that makes me not so smiley.
19:05And after that attack last week, I am so ready to-
19:11To hopefully call it quits, because you get on my nerves no matter if you're smiling or whining.
19:16I'm sorry about Chantel.
19:18Yeah, don't pay her no mind.
19:20Hopefully that mirror of hers shows a reflection of Chantel that we really know.
19:24Exactly.
19:25It's okay.
19:26I know.
19:27It's your moment, baby.
19:28I feel it, Jackson.
19:29Bro, you got nothing to worry about.
19:31I mean, we don't even know if he's the real Lince Dorado.
19:34I mean, who trusts a guy in a mask, anyway?
19:36Jackson, Jackson, we trust you, though.
19:38Kid, you're the Wild Card.
19:39You're Heartbreak Drake.
19:40Yeah.
19:41Do we all think you're going to be the first ever Men's Evolved Champion?
19:44Dude, hundos!
19:45For sure, bro.
19:46Jackson, you're the future, kid.
19:48The Vanity Project is the future.
19:50Yeah.
19:51And I've known exactly that since I was 13 years old, when I first stepped into a wrestling
19:56ring and never looked back.
19:58Listen, boys, listen.
19:59You guys know me as the Wild Card.
20:02You guys know me as Heartbreak Drake.
20:04But here's the thing.
20:05After tonight, everybody is going to know me as the WWE Evolved Men's Champion.
20:12Yes, sir, baby!
20:13Hundos!
20:14Come on!
20:15Let's go!
20:16Can you imagine the type of party Vanity Project would have if Jackson Drake became Evolved Champion?
20:22It's a scary thought.
20:23But coming up, we saw him ringside with Tyson and Tyreek last week.
20:27Now, Wes Lee is ready to address the WWE Evolved locker room.
20:32We hear from Wes Lee next.
20:37What's up, WWE Universe?
20:39Guess what?
20:40SummerSlam, MetLife, two nights, and I will finally be hoping.
20:54And nobody better try me.
20:57WWE SummerSlam, a two-night event at MetLife Stadium.
21:00Two-day combo tickets on sale now.
21:02Scan the code to get yours today.
21:04We gotta turn up!
21:06Man, I've been waiting for this moment for a long, long time.
21:16I came back from a gruesome shoulder injury.
21:22And it hurt.
21:24It hurt for real.
21:27But what hurt me even worse was the fact that I couldn't compete in front of each and every one of y'all.
21:33But now things change.
21:36Things will be different now.
21:38Because tonight, I changed the entire WWE Universe's mind.
21:43Tonight, I go from EJC Nofay, the tag team wrestler, to EJC Nofay, the singles superstar.
21:51Tonight, EJC Nofay, the epitome of excellence, the EOE, becomes the first ever WWE Men's Evolve Champion.
22:02The main event still to come, we will crown a Men's Evolve Champion.
22:13But first, looks like we'll hear from the man, Wesley.
22:22You know, I am loving every Wednesday, Wesley, being on Evolve with us.
22:26With TNT, they're looking great.
22:28He's bringing the star power to this show, and I'm here for it.
22:33He's got that aura, as the kids say.
22:36You know what I mean?
22:37What do you know about aura?
22:41My wife says I have aura.
22:42Aw, nice that your wife's willing to lie to you.
22:55Now, I can bet that none of y'all expected to see me out here in Evolve, right?
23:01Look, that's understandable.
23:02Especially with the boys out here dominating completely on their own over the past couple of weeks.
23:12I haven't necessarily had a reason to.
23:14But you see, last week, I wanted to come to Evolve and get a better understanding of what it's all about.
23:21See, like, they call this the evolution of professional wrestling?
23:27Something like that?
23:28Well, look, when I walk around and talk to the kids in the locker room, I can see it.
23:35They have big dreams, a lot of potential, and they have a lot of hope that one day they are going to become the next big thing.
23:49Sorry.
23:50I ain't mean to laugh like that.
23:55It's not that funny.
23:56It's cute.
23:57No, it is.
23:58Look.
23:59It's cute.
24:00Hey, it's cute.
24:01It's okay.
24:02Look, it's cute.
24:03It's okay.
24:04Look, it's cute.
24:05Look.
24:06It's cute.
24:07See, look, I was the same way.
24:10Once upon a time, I wanted to come into the business and make it the best that it possibly could.
24:16I wanted to change the world.
24:19And I did.
24:22So, when I walk around the locker room, you know what I really see?
24:28I see that they're naive.
24:31Hell, borderline delusional to think that they are going to steal my spot one day.
24:38No, not going to happen.
24:41I have busted my ass, broken my back for this business, and I haven't even scratched the surface yet.
24:49So, Dusty Cup winner, two-time tag team champion, and the greatest North American champion in history.
25:02And I'm not done yet.
25:06So, to everyone that is in the locker room right now, I want you to listen very closely.
25:16I'm the gatekeeper now.
25:18You want to make it to NXT?
25:20You're going to have to make it through me.
25:23And if you really think that you have...
25:25Hold on.
25:31Okay.
25:32Wes.
25:33Wes.
25:34Wes.
25:35Wes.
25:36Wes.
25:37Wes.
25:38Wes.
25:39Wes.
25:40Wes.
25:41Wes.
25:42Wes.
25:44Wes, I see what you're brewing up.
25:49I do.
25:50Tyson and Tyreek are impressive.
25:56Your mentorship is paying off.
26:06Why you out here, though?
26:09Wait.
26:10Let me guess.
26:11The barista and his buddy want a rematch, huh?
26:14Well, I mean, if y'all didn't get enough last week, I'm sure that the boys are down to beat y'all one more game.
26:20Actually, Wes, I'm not out here looking for a rematch.
26:23I'm out here because I want a match against you.
26:30You're out here calling yourself the gatekeeper.
26:33And yeah, you've been the human highlight reel for years.
26:36And I respect that.
26:37I respect that.
26:38But lately, Wes, whatever you've been sipping on, it's been tasting pretty bitter.
26:44Bitter?
26:45Nah.
26:46I've just been around the block long enough to know better.
26:59So, look.
27:00Hold on.
27:01I'm just not some happy-to-be-here kid walking around with a coffee cup.
27:07Hey, you can hate on me all you want, but you want to be the measuring stick?
27:12I want to see how I measure up.
27:15I feel deep down I got what it takes to get to NXT.
27:19And the best way to back that up is to go one-on-one against one of the staples of NXT.
27:34Jones, you really should have stayed behind that counter, dog.
27:39Yep.
27:40You want the match?
27:42Next week, you got it.
27:44Yeah!
27:46Come on.
27:47What are you doing at WWE Evolve?
27:48Come on, OG.
27:49I love this!
27:50I had to come check out Evolve, but especially because I am presenting the Evolve Championship
28:11to the winner of the Fatal 4-Way.
28:14And when I tell you those boys are locked in, those boys are lo-
28:18Yeah, that's Jordan Oasis, bro.
28:21Hey, bro-bro.
28:22Yeah, OG.
28:23What are you doing out here, fool?
28:26You know, just walking.
28:28Yeah.
28:29Hey, bro.
28:30I'm a huge fan of your work.
28:31You know what I mean?
28:32I appreciate that.
28:33Hey, look, gang.
28:34You keep grinding.
28:35All your time is coming, Flo.
28:36I can feel it, aight?
28:37Yeah, I appreciate that.
28:38That means a lot coming from you, OG.
28:39You already know.
28:40Yes, sir.
28:41I gotta go watch a match, you heard?
28:42Yeah, do your thing.
28:43All right, gang.
28:44This October, John Cena lands in Perth for a full-scale WWE TakeOver.
28:57It all starts with SmackDown.
29:00Ends with Raw.
29:02And in the center of it all, Cena takes the spotlight for one of WWE's most massive nights.
29:10WWE Crown Jewels in Perth.
29:12Three nights, one epic weekend.
29:15All at RAC Arena.
29:17WWE TakeOver, Perth, this October.
29:21Scan the code.
29:23Don't miss it.
29:24I've been waiting a very long time to introduce myself to the WWE Universe.
29:37My name is Marcus Mathers.
29:39I've been wrestling for about six years now with way over 650 matches under my belt, proving that I'm not just Philly's finest, but I'm the finest in WWE ID.
29:54Speaking of WWE ID, this was made for men and women to use this to the best of their ability, to the max.
30:00And let me tell you, nobody used WWE ID like Marcus Mathers did.
30:04And with the sport of WWE ID, I've been able to travel more, get more matches, and train with the best of the best.
30:15And now I bring all that knowledge right here, right now.
30:21And WWE ID prepared me for Evolve.
30:24Well, I am excited to see what Marcus Mathers is going to bring to Evolve Robert Stone, but we have more talent looking to make an impact here.
30:34As the real-life action figure, Inzgao, battles the debut in Troy Yearwood next week.
30:41But that is not all we heard from Wesley earlier tonight.
30:44And Cappuccino Jones took exception to laying down quite the challenge.
30:49Wesley has accepted it and will be Wes and Cappuccino next week on Inzgao.
30:53And there's more. We'll hear from Lince Dorado who may have some choice words for Jackson Drake and the Vanity Project
30:59after last week when they cost him his shot to get in the championship fatal four-way elimination match.
31:04We will hear what Dorado has to say next week.
31:11It.
31:12Is.
31:14Time.
31:23The WWE Evolve Men's Championship is on the line.
31:36And what a first man to walk out for this huge match.
31:396'2", 290 of raw strength.
31:41He says this win isn't only going to get him a championship, isn't only going to have him make history, but it's going to change his life.
31:49I feel like since the second we saw Keanu Carver on Duvall, we knew this moment could come.
31:57This is a guy with such a high ceiling.
32:00And tonight, he has a chance to etch his name in the history books.
32:09And here's another guy that since the very first episode has been proving himself.
32:14Week in, week out, Super Sean Legacy has been doing his thing.
32:20And as you can see, his eyes are focused on that men's championship.
32:25They sure are.
32:26And look, when you think of the WWE ID program, you think of Sean Legacy.
32:30He's the talk of the ID program.
32:32And this is proof that if you work hard, it gives you opportunities because look at where he's at in such a short period of time.
32:39He's looking to change his life in this match.
32:41He is also among the most charismatic and, frankly, interesting talents we have at Evolve.
32:52He can get it done so many different ways.
32:55And as he mentioned last week, eight long years he's been grinding in the pro wrestling business.
33:02Idris Inouf, another interesting journey, Robert Stone, to this Evolve championship match.
33:14That's right.
33:15Look, he's got flavor.
33:16He's got pizzazz.
33:17He's eccentric in the way he dresses.
33:19Limitless ability in the ring.
33:21But is he in over his head tonight?
33:24I know it's such a huge opportunity.
33:26But, Peter, it's only his second match back from injury.
33:29I got a question.
33:30Is it too soon?
33:31I got a question now.
33:32It's a fair point.
33:34Inouf has put himself into a intense situation.
33:42But as you can see, he is brimming with confidence.
33:47The question is, is his body ready for this level of competition?
33:52As he will face three other men in an elimination match.
33:57Remember, that means there will be three pinfalls in order for there to be a champion.
34:02And whoever remains standing, your first WWE Evolve champion.
34:08Let's go.
34:09Don't even attempt to talk.
34:10I will handle this.
34:11The party's here!
34:13Okay, he's rolling it solo.
34:17He's in serious mode.
34:19I'm feeling it.
34:20Look, he's wanted this his whole life.
34:22He's been perfecting his craft since he was 13 years old to win that.
34:26Evolve championship that he has stared at so hard.
34:29And let me tell you something.
34:30It's very possible that at the end of this match, he can have it.
34:35I've had a lot of opinions about the Vanity Project.
34:40Jackson Drake, swipe right, Bryce Donovan, Zeta Steele, the way they choose to do things and handle themselves.
34:46But I will not deny it.
34:49This kid is a blue chipper.
34:52Can you imagine how insufferable the Vanity Project would be with the men's championship?
35:00The following contest is a fatal four-way elimination match.
35:04And it is for the WWE Evolve Championship!
35:15Introducing first, from Washington DC, weighing 290 pounds, Keanu Carver!
35:30And his opponent, from Augusta, Georgia, weighing 210 pounds, Shion Legacy!
35:48Next, from Inglewood, California, weighing 200 pounds, Idris Enofi!
35:59New Chen! New Chen!
36:01Ain't nobody else!
36:02And their opponent, representing the Vanity Project, from Greensboro, North Carolina, weighing 188 pounds, Jackson Drake!
36:16All right, it is about that time, Robert Stone, for us to crown an Evolve champion.
36:18Bell rings!
36:19Bell rings!
36:20Listen, during that intro, Legacy did not take his eyes off that championship once.
36:21All right, it is about that time, Robert Stone, for us to crown an Evolve champion.
36:39Bell rings!
36:40Bell rings!
36:41Listen, during that intro, Legacy did not take his eyes off that championship once.
36:45Oof!
36:46And what a punch that was!
36:47Jackson Drake still recovering on the outside, and not surprisingly, Enofi and Shaw Legacy going for Keanu Carver!
37:03Even two teaming up on Keanu, that ain't gonna work, it ain't gonna be that easy!
37:08Robert, if you were in a match like this, are you teaming up to try to take out Keanu Carver?
37:12I told you, I explained this to you last week, in the four-way women's championship, you just gotta survive to the last two, you gotta get there!
37:21Oh!
37:22And I don't know if you saw it, the innovation, the thoughts, the smarts of Jackson Drake to stick that slick kick in to Keanu Carver's head!
37:31As Enofi and Shaw Legacy getting after it, Dropkick takes out Jackson Drake!
37:36Okay, they are starting this thing, huh? Four fighters, one championship, who's built for it?
37:42You have to imagine, for someone like Idris Enofi, four years in, this man wants gold, and he's gonna fly!
37:51Idris Enofi feeling it early, now, this may seem like an obvious question, is Keanu Carver the clear favorite in this match?
37:57I would think so, but right now, Idris will do whatever it takes!
38:00Pinfall!
38:02Wow, and Keanu Carver still a bit rattled!
38:05But Peter, they all want it, they all want it, but the question is, who needs it?
38:09Who needs this? Who needs to win this championship?
38:12Everyone needs a championship, though, am I right, Robert?
38:15Yeah, but some want it more than others!
38:17Oh!
38:18Some need it for different reasons, we heard Keanu talk about it, he needs it for a life change, okay?
38:23Keanu Carver trying to change his life!
38:26Wait a minute!
38:27And he's, he, he may be changing the fate of Idris Enofi!
38:31That's it!
38:32Idris Enofi has been eliminated!
38:35Are you kidding me?!
38:36Idris Enofi, shockingly eliminated, just minutes in!
38:41We are going to determine a champion here on Evolve, next!
38:45Next!
38:55An absolutely incredible scene!
38:58This is what World Wrestling Entertainment is all about!
39:08WWE Clash in Paris, Sunday, August 31st.
39:13Tickets on sale now!
39:21Tons of confidence with Keanu Carver as he eliminates Idris Enofi and is dominating Legacy and Jackson Drake!
39:29And these aren't just two guys, these are Shawn Legacy and Jackson Drake, two title contenders that he is just manhandling!
39:37Like he's throwing around humans, Peter!
39:40If I had asked you to predict how this match would play out, so far would it be matching that script?
39:45I mean, look at Keanu Carver!
39:47Who is going to stop him?
39:49Who? I mean, look at the man!
39:51It almost works to everyone's disadvantage that he knows Faye's been eliminated, because he can't help try to take out Carver!
39:58As Legacy flies!
40:00And gets the big man off his feet!
40:01Well, now a little teamwork seems to be going on if Jackson Drake here is joining in on the party!
40:07While the moonsault from the Carolina Reaper and a pitfall would just run on Keanu Carver.
40:13I mean, what is it going to take to keep this guy down?
40:16Oh man, I do not envy Shawn Legacy looking in the eyes of that beast Keanu Carver!
40:27He's a wrecking ball with nothing to lose and everything to break!
40:32Does he feel pain? Does the man, does he like pain?
40:35He just ate that boot like it was nothing, and a second one glances off the shoulder, a third boot now!
40:41He's rolling a little bit here, but I still don't know! He's not taking off his feet, and now he is!
40:47They finally got him down! Unaliving!
40:50The unaliving from Jackson Drake!
40:53Followed by a 450 splash! They're double-pitted!
40:56And they, they did it!
40:58Keanu Carver has been eliminated!
41:00Well, it takes two, Peter, and it just did!
41:02The unaliving, followed by the 450 splash, and a double pin, has taken out, yes, wait for it, Keanu Carver!
41:15Yeah, Peter, but look who's left!
41:17My guy, Jackson Drake, and of course, Super Shawn Legacy!
41:23But look, you gotta give props here!
41:24Two WWE ID standouts!
41:27One of them is gonna walk away as the first ever WWE Evolve Champion!
41:32It is all for history! Two independent wrestlers battling, one will be the first ever WWE Evolve Champion!
41:48Did you think that either of these guys, six months ago when they were wrestling in some kind of dirty gym or a VFW,
41:53would be here on Tubi, on YouTube internationally, wrestling for such a prestigious championship!
42:01It's an unbelievable story for both men!
42:04And they are going after it with reckless abandon!
42:07Nobody's holding back, as they shouldn't!
42:10I'm still dumbfounded that Keanu Carver is, oh!
42:14A super punch from Jackson Drake!
42:17And a headbutt from Shawn Legacy!
42:18I'm just accepting, Keanu Carver will not be champion!
42:21It will be Shawn Legacy or Heartbreak Drake!
42:24It's going down right now, and you gotta stay toned in, because at any time this could end!
42:30Suplex from Jackson Drake, whose face is still obviously in pain, he's been going back to it for some time now.
42:38Whenever he has a moment, seems to be in real pain.
42:42Shawn Legacy's going up top to meet him!
42:44Wow!
42:48It's time to fly, Shawn Legacy!
42:50He's going for the 450 again! Can he do it?
42:52One!
42:53Two!
42:55Shawn Legacy was one count away from championship gold!
42:59Both these guys want this!
43:01Both these guys watch the OG Evolve!
43:03They saw Drew McIntyre as Evolve Champion!
43:06Timothy Thatcher!
43:07Josh Briggs!
43:08Austin Theory!
43:09They want to add their name to that list for this new WWE Evolve Championship!
43:13Who's going to do it?
43:16The Evolve Championship makes future stars, as you just stated right there with those names.
43:22Think about what it means for the future of whoever wins this match.
43:26The future potentially in NXT.
43:27Are we going shambles?
43:28Oh, he looked for shambles, but Jackson Drake, again, always creative.
43:33Finds a way out.
43:37He just found a way over the top rope, but he held on!
43:40And again, finding a way at every moment.
43:43Jackson Drake, it's not always pretty, but he finds a way to get it done.
43:47Every movement they make at this point in the match is so important.
43:51Oh, Jackson Drake's going to go up top again, huh?
43:55He wants to fly!
43:59SWAT TIME!
44:01He connects with the SWAT time!
44:02That's it!
44:03Two!
44:05And a kick out on two!
44:07What is it going to take for Jackson Drake to put down?
44:11Shawn Legacy!
44:12Could that be it?
44:14Two!
44:19Kick to the side of the head.
44:20He's going to go for another pinfall if he can get Legacy over.
44:23He does!
44:24That could be it!
44:25Two!
44:27How is Shawn Legacy still kicking out?
44:30That kick to the back of his head, I thought straight up knocked him out.
44:34Unbelievable.
44:36Shawn Legacy finding a way.
44:38Jackson Drake has now been in control for the last couple of minutes.
44:43Of course, Idris Yenofey eliminated first.
44:46Then, these two men teamed up to take out Keanu Carver.
44:49And now, Jackson Drake and Shawn Legacy dueling for the Evolve Championship.
44:56Could Vanity Project add the men's title to their already obnoxious persona?
45:03I can't imagine it!
45:04He held on!
45:05He held on!
45:06He held on!
45:07And now he's got him locked in the middle of the ring!
45:10This is what Legacy did last time to Drake.
45:12Is he going to tap?
45:13Is Drake going to tap?
45:15Hang on!
45:17Hang on, Drake!
45:18Come on, the ropes are right there!
45:19You gotta move that body!
45:21Is he fading?
45:22He's stuck in the middle of the ring!
45:24Jackson Drake can't get anywhere right now!
45:25Push him!
45:26Push him over!
45:27Use your weight to push him over, Drake!
45:30Jackson Drake is finding a way!
45:33He's almost there!
45:34Oh, look at Idris Yenofey!
45:35He's keeping him off the rope!
45:36He's got one more hand, Peter!
45:38Oh, I don't think Jackson Drake could last any longer!
45:42He cannot take this any longer!
45:43He's your reason right there!
45:44His hand is up!
45:46Is he gonna tap?
45:48He's gonna get to the rope!
45:51You can tell Shawn Legacy has been learning new holds and maneuvers from Timothy Thatcher
45:56ever since they've had their friendship because he caught him with that out of nowhere!
46:02Goodness gracious, Jackson Drake was caught in the middle of the ring under Shawn Legacy
46:09in a horrible way and found a way to make it to the rope!
46:15Again, he is without the help of the Vanity Project.
46:17He is doing it by himself!
46:20Super Shawn Legacy, sensing the title could be close!
46:25Which of these men's career will change tonight?
46:29He's going for rejection!
46:30He's going- wait!
46:32Oh no!
46:33Shambles!
46:34This is how we beat him the last time they faced!
46:37Oh!
46:38Knockout blow!
46:39Wait!
46:40Is he looking for it?
46:41Jackson Drake's looking for the unaliving!
46:42And now the cover for the title!
46:44Two!
46:45Three!
46:46That's it!
46:49Here is your winner in the first ever WWE EVOLVE Champion!
46:58Jackson Drake!
47:02Come on, take your hands off your head, Peter!
47:04And stand up and celebrate!
47:07Heartbreak for Legacy, Carver, and Enope!
47:11The Carolina Reaper strikes and the Vanity Project is complete!
47:16Jackson Drake!
47:17Jackson Drake, your first ever WWE EVOLVE Champion!
47:21Let's take a look back and see how he got it done!
47:25And here you go, you see all four men putting it on the line early on!
47:29Enope using his high-powered offensive assault!
47:32Things good early, but then Keanu Carver quickly puts a stop to it!
47:38Eliminating Enope in dramatic fashion early on in this match!
47:42But it's of two men, an unaliving and a 450 splash, and a double pin to eliminate Keanu Carver from the match!
47:55And then of course there were two WWE EV program standouts going at it as Legacy took to the sky!
48:03Came so close to getting the win, but Jackson Drake would not go away that easily!
48:08Heartbreak Drake's resiliency cannot be denied!
48:12But in the end, it was a second unaliving from Jackson Drake that proved to be too much for Shawn Legacy!
48:19As Heartbreak Drake makes history!
48:23And what a full circle moment, Peter!
48:28There you see NXT Superstar Javon Evans!
48:32And I can only imagine the party tonight!
48:38Oh wait, look at the moment now!
48:41Two men who have known each other from years all the way back to the Indies in North Carolina!
48:46Jackson Drake and Javon Evans!
48:49I have to imagine Javon Evans will be at VIP tonight when the Vanity Project celebrates!
48:53Oh, absolutely!
48:54What a full circle moment!
48:55These two started together and he's delivering them and handing them that championship!
49:01Congratulations to Jackson Drake, the first WWE Evolve Champion!
49:07Champion!
