Transcript

00:00What a glamorous moment that will be tonight live on NXT.

00:10The following is an Evolution Eliminator!

00:17Introducing first, from Boyce Beach, Florida, Kalani Shornan!

00:23Wasting no time tonight here on The CW Grave, much like our previous match.

00:28There really is no love loss.

00:30Between these two.

00:32Kalani Jordan and her opponent, Lash Legend.

00:34Ultimately, you gotta put personal issues aside.

00:37As Jada Parker was able to do and use her strategy to advance to the Fatal 4-Way.

00:42Kalani needs to focus on the task at hand.

00:44Advancing to the Fatal 4-Way and getting past the powerhouse that is Flash Legend.

00:48Because if Kalani lets her emotions get the best of her, it's gonna be a short night.

00:52And her opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, Lash Legend!

01:08Gravy is the time right for the bougie bully.

01:13In my opinion, Lash Legend has got to be a favorite, if not the favorite, to challenge

01:20J.C. Jane in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, come Evolution.

01:24But trust me, Kalani's not going down without a hell of a fight.

01:35Booker, as we take a look at Evolution, what would someone like Sister Sherry be thinking about WWE Evolution?

01:43How can I get in on it?

01:45Now you see me thinking?

01:46No, man, Sherry, help create this division right here, the women's division.

01:51Right now, she'll be looking down saying, I'm so proud of what these ladies are doing, man.

01:56Now, Graves, you remember all the excitement that surrounded the first All Women Show,

02:00which took place just several years ago.

02:02History was made, I was there in Long Island, I actually took my daughter to the event.

02:05She still talks about it to this day.

02:07A true step forward for women's wrestling, a very, very important date.

02:10We're gonna make more history in Atlanta.

02:13It had been seven years, as Evolution returns July 13th in Atlanta, Georgia.

02:18Right after Great American Bash, Saturday night's main event,

02:21which will see Gunther face Goldberg.

02:24The WWE Hall of Famer has the opportunity to become World Heavyweight Champion

02:29against the ring general.

02:30Talk about redefining what heavy hitting is all about.

02:33Saturday night's main event will be can't miss.

02:36As we focus back on this matchup, Booker, what is it about the standout that stands out?

02:41You know it's like the wind, man, you can feel it, but you can't touch it.

02:45But you know it's there.

02:46That's what the ladies are all about.

02:48But I'm a little worried right now, Kalani Jordan, right now,

02:51seems like she's a little, a little hard step, just a little bit.

02:55Well, does that go back to something we talked about in that first matchup,

02:57that Kalani's focused more on the opponent than the task at hand,

03:02than the overall goal of winning, advancing, and heading to Evolution?

03:05I can see that, I can see that, because Kalani Jordan has had so

03:09such success at such a young age, and she wants to keep it going.

03:13Her loss here, her loss there, can definitely upend everything, man.

03:17I don't know something about making history.

03:19The first ever North American Women's Champion, taking out Last Legend.

03:24Which one of these two will join Jada Parker next week?

03:28You know, Jordan was as confident as ever with us on commentary last week.

03:45We also witnessed, she was sitting next to you, Graves.

03:47She got up from the desk and was staring a hole through Last Legend,

03:51trying to send her a message without actually sending her a message.

03:54This is the opportunity to send whatever message Kalani Jordan so desires.

03:57Look at this, very impressive face first goes Legend.

04:01With the splits, shoots to half, hooks to leg, Lash able to power out at two.

04:07Booker, you and I have spoken at great length about how Kalani for

04:09quite some time needed to find that killer instinct, needed to tap into something deeper.

04:13We've seen it in glimpses, but in your opinion,

04:16has Kalani been able to sustain that killer instinct?

04:18I don't think so, I'm looking at her right now in this matchup,

04:21and she's throwing out a whole lot of offense early trying to get Lash Legend out of that.

04:26I don't think that's gonna be the right shot to actually advance here tonight.

04:30I don't think so.

04:31Well, that goes back to something that we talked to her last week about on the desk,

04:34was does she still feel like the little sister in the locker room?

04:38And it seems that Lash Legend in some ways treats her that way.

04:42And take a look, athleticism personified, another cover and another kick out.

04:48Two more Evolution Eliminators still to come here tonight to set up a fatal four-way next week here on NXT.

04:56Splash rolling right through the, nice counter by Lash.

05:00Check it out, check it out, check it out, here we go, baby.

05:04This is what separates Lash Legend from the rest of the field, game-changing power.

05:09Backbreaker, and you take a look at that knee to the middle of the spine.

05:13And Booker, you can't fly around, you can't jump, if you can't get on your feet.

05:18We just got clipped, that's what you trying to say.

05:20We just got clipped off Kalani joint, and here we go.

05:24Lash Legend blowing the boom, I love it, man.

05:27Booker, you got a wayward word, I'll tell you that, you should be a poet.

05:30Ooh, big splash into the cover.

05:33And a kick out by Kalani.

05:36Lash Legend, I mean, I would not wanna be the official right now.

05:38Did you see that look last, just flashed over?

05:42And I think about the first matchup and

05:44the strategy that Jada Parker used to win.

05:48When we talk about it with Jada Parker, I think this is a perfect opportunity for

05:52Kalani Jordan to add a new layer, show some new wrinkles in her game,

05:55maybe change up her strategy.

05:57We've seen her use some of her tried and true maneuvers, show us something different.

06:00Trying to surprise Legend.

06:02Lash Legend, no doubt, has the power advantage in this matchup,

06:05which we've seen from the jump.

06:08It's been a big year thus far for Lash, competing in the Women's Royal Rumble match.

06:12Is on her own, creating her own path into another cover, another kick out.

06:18And she is two wins away from a championship opportunity under the bright lights of

06:23WWE Evolution in Atlanta for the NXT Women's Championship.

06:28And something we haven't talked about, what is JC Jane thinking right now watching this unfold?

06:33I guarantee you JC Jane is watching each and

06:35every movement that these potential opponents are making tonight.

06:39Scouting the opposition because JC Jane wants to disprove the theory that she is this beatable champion.

06:45Well, is this matchup continuing for Lash Legend, Booker?

06:49Why hasn't Lash achieved championship success here in the WWE?

06:52I can't tell you this, let's Lash Legend succeed that success she wants.

06:58Nobody's gonna be able to stop her, man.

07:00That's the way I feel about it.

07:02I gotta agree with you on that point, Booker.

07:03No, broke first.

07:05It looked like Kalani tried to do her best to avoid that top rope into the cover.

07:12And another kick out by Kalani, but there was not a lot on that kick out by Jordan.

07:18Legend, Jordan, one of these two, we'll move on to next week.

07:27Power advantage, Lash Legend.

07:31Athleticism advantage, maybe Kalani Jordan in a near fall.

07:34Elegantness, the second of our Evolution Eliminators.

07:38Jada Parker already advanced, who will join her in next week's Fatal 4-Way?

07:42And Kalani Jordan doing her best to almost punch her way, Booker, back into this matchup.

07:47You go back to Jada Parker and the way she won that match.

07:51I agree with Jada Parker by any means necessary.

07:55It's about business, man.

07:56It's about checks and what?

07:58Checks and what, gravy?

07:59Championships.

08:00That is, that is, dog.

08:02Nice to see you two playing nice here this week.

08:04Up, over, goes Kalani, trying to get Lash down.

08:07Lash, whoa.

08:09Wow.

08:11That was impressive athleticism from the Powerhouse Legend.

08:14Man.

08:15Down goes Jordan yet again.

08:16Big pump kick.

08:19Could that have just kicked Lash into next week?

08:22Yeah.

08:23Oh no, oh no.

08:25Some resiliency being shown by Kalani.

08:28We're seeing signs of frustration on the face of Lash Legend.

08:32Lash thinks this one should be over with, perhaps on multiple different occasions.

08:39NXT Universe trying to rally in this moment.

08:43Kalani Jordan, who right now is just getting stretched out.

08:47Go back to the backbreaker earlier in the matchup.

08:49Graves focusing on the smaller of the back here of Kalani Jordan.

08:52Yeah, Lash Legend's been very effective in the sequence that she's rolled out her

08:55maneuvers, focusing most of her offense on the lower back and core of Kalani Jordan,

09:00including this Argentine backbreaker.

09:03Agonizing position for Jordan to be stuck in.

09:06We saw Jada Parker advance earlier.

09:08We thought she had tapped out.

09:10There's no tapping though from Kalani, code breaker.

09:16And it's now rally time for Kalani Jordan as we're in deep, deep waters of this matchup.

09:28Legend the first to her feet.

09:31Now both women up.

09:32Kalani trying to knock Lash back down and Graves again.

09:36This all really stemming between these two because it appeared Kalani was getting in

09:39Lash.

09:40Lash thought it was Kalani getting her business.

09:43Kalani thought it was Lash getting her business.

09:45It was a misunderstanding at the end of the day tonight.

09:48Someone's business is gonna be a women's championship opportunity.

09:51It is every woman for herself in this situation.

09:54Sliced bread by Jordan.

09:57Lash is down, Kalani now trying to climb quickly, trying to take flight.

10:02Looking for a five star, she got it all.

10:05Into the cover looking for the three and just got a two.

10:10Take another look at Kalani Jordan taken to the skies.

10:14Full extension, high impact landing.

10:17But Lash Legend with a little too much left in the tank.

10:21Kalani now maybe trying to kick over Lash right now.

10:24Booker maybe looking for a single leg crab.

10:25I mean anything, whatever works right there at this stage of the game.

10:28Look deep waters right there.

10:30Big shot.

10:31That right hand just rocked Kalani.

10:34Almost into next week.

10:37Lash looking around.

10:38Both these women have brought their best here tonight.

10:41Nice counter.

10:43Lash down again.

10:45Could be looking for that one of a kind split-legged moonsault.

10:49But Lash stopping Kalani.

10:52Quick as a can.

10:52Yeah.

10:53Quick as a can.

10:54Gotta be impressed with the speed of Lash Legend.

10:56Look at this.

10:59No, no, no, no, no.

11:01Precarious position for both.

11:03Kalani shifted weight.

11:05Kalani shifted weight.

11:06Countered it.

11:07Powering out again was Lash.

11:09But Lash feeling the effects.

11:12Kalani now having to find a different gear almost.

11:15What was it you said?

11:16The killer instinct?

11:18She's gotta find it now, Graves.

11:19You're absolutely right about that.

11:20But it looks more like perhaps doubt is beginning to creep into the mind of Kalani

11:24Jordan once again from the top turnbuckle.

11:27Now it's the floor.

11:2850 knees up by Lash.

11:30Lash able to counter once again.

11:32And now hoisting up and boom.

11:37And just like that, Lash into the cover and Legend overcomes Kalani.

11:42And here is your winner, Lash Legend.

11:50What a victory for Lash Legend earning entry into the number one contender's fatal four-way.

11:58Lash has her eyes set on Atlanta and Evolution.

12:02And can you believe, Booker, we still got two more.
