00:00Forever.
00:09Together.
00:17Huge matchup for our new champion, Callie Armstrong.
00:21It is not very often that your champion is a bit of an underdog.
00:25What does this say if Callie Armstrong takes down a future Hall of Famer like Natalya?
00:31She's scouting the Callie Connection.
00:33She's locked in.
00:35Natalya just got caught across the throat.
00:38Callie Connection.
00:40Pinned.
00:42She did it.
00:45I'm at the top of this women's division.
00:47Evolve women's champion.
00:50Hold on.
00:51What the hell?
00:52Oh, my God.
00:53It's Chintala.
00:55It was me.
01:00I'm the attacker.
01:02And I will eliminate anyone in my path to get to this championship.
01:12Lince Dorado stole a win last week.
01:16Lince Dorado up top.
01:18Lands the splash.
01:20Lince Dorado just pinned the Evolve champion.
01:23Does this make Lince Dorado the number one contender?
01:26Lince has a title match next week.
01:30Oh, and Jackson, you're signing the contract for that match tonight.
01:33Lince Dorado and Jackson Drake make their Evolve championship match official.
01:38Your boy is on top.
01:40And it's not going to change for a long time.
01:42You just made the biggest mistake of your life.
01:46Vanity Project are banned from ringside.
01:50Any interference will result disqualification.
01:53And your boy, Lince Dorado, will be the new Evolve champion.
01:58And Heartbreak Drake takes on Lucha Lit, Lince Dorado, tonight on Evolve.
02:04High stakes tonight on WWE Evolve, the Evolve champion, the wild card, Jackson Drake,
02:18will defend his championship against Evolve's resident luchador, Lince Dorado.
02:23And Heartbreak Drake will be all on his own as the Vanity Project are banned from ringside.
02:27That's our main event tonight on Evolve.
02:29Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WWE Evolve on Tubi.
02:38We are back again.
02:39So excited to be here.
02:42The following contest is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall.
02:48Introducing first from Chicago, Illinois, Kylie Rae.
02:53Kylie Rae showing up last week to tell Chantel Monroe that she was the one who deserves a shot at the women's championship.
03:03Did she have a point, Rob?
03:04I mean, I think she does.
03:06Smiley.
03:06Kylie Rae is back to being smiley, but it's more of an aggressive smile.
03:09Next, from Houston, Texas, Tyra Mae Steele.
03:18All right.
03:20You can see the gold around her neck, the Olympic gold medalist back in Paris a few years back.
03:27Robert Stone, what can you tell us about Tyra Mae Steele?
03:29I mean, she's not just an Olympic gold medalist.
03:32She's the first female Olympic gold medalist ever here in the WWE, Peter.
03:37It's a huge deal.
03:382020, she won for freestyle wrestling.
03:41Season one winner of LFG.
03:43And she's been killing it on NXT.
03:46Tyra Mae Steele is here, baby.
03:48What an incredible athlete to join the ranks of talented women that we have here in Evolve.
03:54And tonight, she is in a huge triple threat match.
03:59And their opponent, from Sarasota, Florida, Chantelle Monroe.
04:19And of course, the reflection of perfection.
04:22Wait, what's the full?
04:23Not the number one selection.
04:25The number one selection.
04:26There you go.
04:27If you've been under a rocket, not paying attention, Rothen Stone, what can people expect from Chantelle Monroe?
04:32I mean, she's the showstopping diva.
04:34She's the SSD.
04:35Did you see her huge victory over Mason Holiday last week?
04:38She has been killing it.
04:39But now she wants to move on to bigger and better things like the Women's Evolve Championship.
04:45You know, at first, I was not sure how serious she was.
04:48I don't know.
04:48She was walking around with the mirror, feeling herself.
04:51I thought, how serious is she about getting W's?
04:54And now it appears, Chantelle Monroe, very serious.
04:57What's wrong with carrying a mirror, Peter?
04:59I mean, just because you care about your appearance, this is a cosmetic industry.
05:03I mean, that means she can't wrestle in the ring?
05:05It's a fair point by you.
05:07And that's why you carry out your mirror.
05:08It's all three women getting after it.
05:10And a big right hand from Kylie Rae.
05:12Clearly, this seems like it's going to be Tyra and Kylie teaming up against the SSD.
05:16I don't know if I'm liking that.
05:16Well, early on, that's certainly what it is, as the SSD is sent out to the floor.
05:21And now we'll get to see a little Tyra Mae Steele and Kylie Rae one-on-one for a moment.
05:26What a cool matchup we're getting to look at here on WWE Evolve.
05:31Hope you're enjoying your summer.
05:32Happy to have you with us.
05:34Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone.
05:37And we have women's action to get things going.
05:39And Kylie Rae needing a second there to think things over.
05:43And how cool is this match right now after the weekend when we just had WWE Evolution?
05:49It was a great show.
05:50And now we're hearing all three of these ladies, these superstars, I guarantee are super inspired by what they witnessed this past weekend.
05:58You are absolutely right.
06:00The women's Evolution never ends here.
06:02And WWE in a pinfall for Tyra Mae Steele.
06:04Only one as Chantel makes her way back into the ring.
06:10And looks to break things up.
06:12And rolls up, Tyra.
06:14And then a pinfall from Kylie Rae.
06:16Hold on now.
06:18Another innovative pin there from Tyra.
06:20One pin after another between these three.
06:23And Kylie Rae goes for the small package.
06:25It's never ending.
06:27I mean, this is why you do have to have eyes in the back of your head in a triple threat match.
06:30This kind of match, Peter, is a different animal.
06:32It's all about positioning.
06:34You got to know where everyone is at all times.
06:37You got to control your ring space so no one can break up pins and be ready to adapt and think fast.
06:44Chantel tossing Tyra over the top rope.
06:47And now pitting Kylie Rae.
06:50And of course, it's one pinfall here for a winner.
06:53It's now Chantel on the outside as well.
06:56What's Kylie thinking?
06:57Suicide dive from Kylie Rae.
06:59Taking out both Chantel and Tyra on the outside.
07:02Smiley Kylie feeling it early on.
07:04You got to remember, every weekend, Kylie is on the independent scene, hustling, wrestling, everyone, everywhere.
07:14She's probably in triple threat matches every other weekend.
07:17Chantel Monroe, Tyra Mae Steele.
07:20This is their first.
07:21This is new to them.
07:22It's such a great point.
07:23How much of an advantage is that for Kylie Rae?
07:26She has so much more experience than both ladies combined.
07:28Absolutely.
07:29I mean, when you have done something time and time again, it's natural to you.
07:34Yeah, I saw Kylie show up to the building earlier.
07:39She shows up going for a pitfall and a two count.
07:43And you can just see the confidence when she shows up to the building.
07:47This is every day for her.
07:48No nerves whatsoever.
07:51Not the same thing for Tyra Mae Steele and Chantel Monroe.
07:56Well, no matter what, I'll tell you this.
07:58This is a very important match right now.
08:00You know Stevie Turner is watching this.
08:02The winner of this easily could get a shot.
08:05Moonsault from Kylie.
08:06That was beautiful.
08:07Looks like she hurt herself on the moonsault.
08:09And hold on, an innovative way to break things up from Chantel Monroe.
08:14Now she's going to pin Kylie instead.
08:19And another pinfall.
08:20What is the philosophy in these triple threats?
08:23Just try to snatch as many pins as you can and hope you steal something.
08:27Pinfall or submission.
08:28That's how you win matches, right?
08:29That's what you always want to do.
08:31But there has to be an excessive amount.
08:33And another pinfall from Chantel Monroe.
08:36Kylie Rae kicks out on two.
08:37I think they need to work on wearing their opponents down before going for all these pinfalls.
08:43Well, that's the question I was going to ask you.
08:45Is it an effective thing to do to continuously go for pinfalls?
08:49Oof, big shoulder tackle there from Tyra.
08:53Showing her strength.
08:55And the agility.
08:57A lot in the arsenal.
09:00Unconventional, but just dropping Chantel on her back and now picking her up.
09:04And Chantel avoiding danger.
09:09Corner!
09:11That is how she beat Mason Holiday last week.
09:14Can she beat Tyra?
09:16Kylie Rae says absolutely not as she pulls the showstopping D.Va off of her.
09:24All three of these women desperate for a shot at the Evolve Women's Championship,
09:28currently held by two-strong Kali Armstrong.
09:31Oof, wow.
09:36Kylie knocked out of the ring.
09:38One, two, three!
09:40She got her!
09:45Here is your winner, Tyra Mae Steele!
09:51Let's take a look back.
09:53High stakes, a lot of implications looming, but it was smiley Kylie Rae.
09:57Feeling it early, Chantel Monroe had her moments.
10:01But in the end, Tyra Mae Steele displaying what she needed to get it done and score a big,
10:08big win.
10:10Tyra Mae Steele making her presence felt here on Evolve.
10:14And speaking of having your presence felt, Jintala dropped a bomb of the Evolve Universe last week.
10:22Chewy Martinez sat down with her earlier today to find out what is going through her mind.
10:31Evolve fam, how you doing?
10:32Chewy Martinez here hanging out with Jintala.
10:34How you doing, friend?
10:36Buddy?
10:37Who said I'm your buddy?
10:39I'm everybody who sits in this chair.
10:40It's kind of my buddy, but this feels a lot different.
10:44You haven't been playing nicely with the other kids in the playground.
10:47What's going on?
10:47I just came to realize that I have to be ruthlessly aggressive.
10:53And that's exactly what I'm doing at Evolve.
10:55Wait, hey, hey, guys!
10:56By taking people out backstage?
10:59By creating opportunities by any means necessary.
11:03Your time at LFG, what was the biggest lesson after going through all that?
11:07All those buddies, friends.
11:12You see, I was told that I wasn't aggressive enough on LFG, and that's why I was eliminated.
11:18So I'm going to create my own opportunities by any means necessary.
11:24Callie Armstrong is the Evolve women's champion.
11:27I'm next.
11:28I'm the one who's going to be the Evolve champion.
11:31All right, so you have Carly Bright coming up tonight.
11:34What are your thoughts for your next match?
11:35I've attacked Carly before.
11:38I beat her before.
11:39And she thinks she's coming here for revenge.
11:42I'll show you what real danger looks like tonight.
11:45Everyone could have gotten the nice version of Jintala.
11:48But instead, you're going to get the cutthroat version.
11:53All right, so Jintala, thank you so much for hanging out.
11:56Thank you for clearing a bunch of things up.
11:58And you've got Carly Bright later on tonight.
12:00And just good luck.
12:04All right.
12:05Thanks for hanging out.
12:06Chewy Martinez, Jintala.
12:08Yeah.
12:08See you guys.
12:09She's smiling.
12:10She's not smiling.
12:11Go on.
12:14Jintala looking to harness her aggression here on Evolve.
12:17And all her terrified backstage attacks have certainly dampened the woman's locker room.
12:22Carly Bright was one of the victims and looks to get her revenge on her attacker, Jintala.
12:27It's Jintala and Carly next on Evolve.
12:30This August, WWE brings the vibe to MetLife Stadium.
12:41You know what time it is?
12:42Go time, go time.
12:44I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running.
12:47Holds me with me in showtime.
12:49Holds me with me in showtime.
12:50Two nights.
12:52Unbelievable!
12:52Too many stars to count.
12:58Leave with me.
13:00Jerseys just built different.
13:02Go time, go time.
13:05SummerSlam.
13:06Run it, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running.
13:07On a whole nother level.
13:09Holds me with me in showtime.
13:12WWE SummerSlam, August 2nd and 3rd.
13:16But Jordan, I just wanted to check in and see how your time here at Evolve is going.
13:32Well thanks Stevie, I appreciate you checking in.
13:34Things for me are going good.
13:36I'm just trying to stay on my own path, stay out of everyone's way.
13:39I will be watching the main event tonight though.
13:42Vanity Project has put themselves on this pedestal
13:44and nothing would throw me more than seeing them get knocked off.
13:47And that starts with Jax and Drake losing the Evolve Championship.
13:50I know Vanity Project, they're not the most liked in the locker room
13:54and I would love to give you a match against Swipe Right.
13:57I know you like doing things on your own
13:58and I just don't think a two-on-one match would really go down.
14:01Stevie, if all you're saying is I have to find me a tag partner,
14:05I can get in the ring,
14:07and I can get my hands on Swipe Right,
14:10I'll do it.
14:11Just give me a little bit of time.
14:12I've made some friends on the road and I think I can find me a partner.
14:16Then you got it.
14:17Next week, you and your partner, you have your match.
14:20Sick.
14:21Best Prime Minister.
14:22Thank you Jordan.
14:24The pressure is on Jordan Oasis.
14:27Who will he choose as a partner for next week's big tag team match?
14:31The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
14:34Introducing first, from St. Mary's County, Maryland,
14:38Jim Tala!
14:39Well, Jim Tala shocked the Evolve Universe last week when she attacked our champion,
14:48Callie Armstrong, from behind, and then revealed she was the attacker.
14:53How shocked were you, Robert?
14:55I mean, if you would have told me to pick anyone in that woman's locker room,
14:58she might have been my last choice.
15:00A sweetheart, nice, at least she was.
15:04No idea it was gonna be her.
15:06No idea, but you know what?
15:07I kinda like it.
15:12And her opponent, accompanied by Kendall Gray.
15:16Carly Bright taking it to Jintala.
15:19This is a side of Carly Bright we've never seen before.
15:21I mean, what's going through her head knowing that she got, I mean,
15:24Jintala could have ended her career when she attacked her a few weeks ago.
15:28Exactly right, and now that Carly Bright knows the truth,
15:31you see the intensity, elbow after elbow, at Jintala.
15:35This is what Carly needed, maybe.
15:37The resident ray of sunshine has seen some rainy days lately,
15:40but right now, I mean, she's all over Jintala.
15:43She's bringing the thunder and the lightning, but now Jintala reversing things.
15:46Ooh, some chops.
15:47And really laying it in.
15:51And now, what's good for the goose, Carly with a big chop and some kicks.
15:55She's relentless, she ain't stopping.
15:58And you remember in the early days when you questioned the relationship of Kendall Gray and Carly Bright,
16:02you see how dialed in Carly Bright's now.
16:04I mean, they're a lot more similar than maybe they thought or we thought, or the people thought.
16:08And Carly Bright truly showing a different side now that she knows Jintala was behind all the attacks in the women's locker room.
16:17Well, when your career flashes before your eyes, when it could possibly be over, if that attack was worse.
16:23I mean, she wants revenge, I don't blame her.
16:26I just gotta, I gotta ask the question, Robert Stone, why Jintala?
16:30Why would she do this?
16:31Someone who's establishing herself, becoming a wrestler right now, trying to learn the business.
16:36Why would you go this path?
16:37Well, you heard what she said.
16:38I mean, she said she was taking off LFG2 because she wasn't aggressive enough.
16:42Right now, she looks very aggressive to me.
16:44And she has learned that this is a cut-throat industry.
16:48You gotta do what you gotta do, okay?
16:51Listen, I heard what she said to Chewy Martinez, but it's still not a reasonable answer.
16:56All I know is Jintala said that congrats to Cali for being the first champ, but she's gonna be the next champ.
17:03And you become the champ by doing things like this.
17:07By taking risks and attacking women and not caring.
17:10I will say this as Jintala looks to score a pin early on.
17:15I will say this, she looks different.
17:18This version of Jintala is not the one we've seen.
17:21There's a different level of aggressiveness in Jintala right now.
17:26She's taking it to Carly Bright.
17:27I mean, let's not forget that she is a freak athlete.
17:31But so is Carly Bright and she is showing it right now.
17:34Two incredible athletes in there with a lot of motivation.
17:38In the case of Carly Bright, a lot of anger.
17:40Jumping neck breaker.
17:42That was cool.
17:43Carly Bright.
17:45Standing moonsault.
17:47Going to go for a pin as well.
17:49Jintala kicking out at two there.
17:53And we will see if Carly Bright can keep this fire going into the later stages of this match.
18:01Kendall cheering her on from ringside.
18:04Giving her props.
18:05Happy for her friend.
18:06As you see Kendall Gray looking on.
18:08Wait, hold on.
18:10Kendall Gray.
18:11Oh my.
18:13Are we, is this happening?
18:15The sleepy psycho Wendy Chu has showed up.
18:20And now Carly Bright's checking on Kendall Gray.
18:23And as she gets distracted Jintala takes advantage.
18:27That's smart stuff.
18:28Direct effect.
18:30Jintala going for the pin and scoring it.
18:34Here is your winner, Jintala.
18:40Jintala taking advantage of the situation for the win there.
18:44Wait, wait, wait, wait.
18:46Where did Wendy Chu go?
18:47How did I miss that?
18:48I looked out at my monitor for one second and then she's just gone.
18:51Kendall's just as confused.
18:53Well, regardless, let's take a look now.
18:55Early on, a side of Carly Bright we've never seen.
18:58Hot out of the gate.
18:59Showing a much different side.
19:01But then as things were rolling, the demonic sleepy psycho Wendy Chu appearing to stalk Kendall Gray.
19:08Changing the trajectory of the match.
19:10Jintala takes advantage and takes another step.
19:13on her path here in Evolve.
19:19Jintala victorious tonight, but a strange appearance by Wendy Chu leaving more questions unanswered.
19:30Easy, easy there, Mr. Barber.
19:32I'm not here to fight.
19:34You see, I've been thinking.
19:35Yeah, I've been ruminating about what I said to you last week and I really wanted to come find you and talk to you man to man.
19:41Hey, hey, hey.
19:42Don't worry about it, man.
19:43I appreciate it, Ridge.
19:44We all say stuff we don't mean.
19:46I'm not here to apologize.
19:48I know you've got a match tonight.
19:50And I can't wait for you to prove me right.
19:53You don't belong in this business.
19:57How about after I get my hand raised, you and me, we step in the ring.
20:03You won't.
20:04And you won't.
20:05Because you're beneath me.
20:06I'll see you, cowboy.
20:10Tate Wilder appears ready to show Ridge Holland that he's the real deal here at Evolve.
20:23And coming up next, he has a big challenge with a self-proclaimed epitome of excellence, Idris Inofi.
20:40An absolutely incredible scene.
20:47This is what World Wrestling Entertainment is all about.
20:53WWE Clash in Paris, Sunday, August 31st.
20:57Tickets on sale now.
21:03Y'all ready for a wild ride?
21:10The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
21:13Introducing first, from Gilbert, Arizona, weighing at 230 pounds, Tate Wilder.
21:22Tate Wilder is here.
21:25This is a very, very unique man.
21:29A modern cowboy, if you will, Robert Stone.
21:32Works hard in the ring, works hard on the ranch.
21:35He's a man's man, loves extreme sports.
21:38But I don't know how smart of an idea it was to exchange words with Ridge Holland.
21:43That's just my opinion.
21:44That may not have been the move, but we'll see how that affects him here tonight.
21:49But a lot of people very excited to get their eyes on Tate Wilder.
21:54And his opponent, from Inglewood, California, weighing at 200 pounds, Idris Inofi.
21:59Well, you mentioned it earlier, strong words from Tate Wilder to Ridge Holland.
22:04But before he can even think about Ridge Holland, he's gotta think about Idris Inofi.
22:09Flavor, pizzazz, eccentric fashion, limitless ability in the ring.
22:14And his opponent, from Inglewood, California, weighing at 200 pounds, Idris Inofi.
22:20And his opponent, from Inglewood, California, weighing at 200 pounds, Idris Inofi.
22:25Well, you mentioned it earlier, strong words from Tate Wilder to Ridge Holland.
22:29But before he can even think about Ridge Holland, he's gotta think about Idris Inofi.
22:33Flavor, pizzazz, eccentric fashion, limitless ability in the ring.
22:39And he always wanted to be a single star, and look at him.
22:42To me, this says singles star.
22:46We have seen a new side of Idris Inofi ever since he was pinned in that fatal four-way
22:54for the Men's Evolve Championship.
22:56Wow.
22:57Now, you're absolutely right to wow.
22:58It's an incredible physique on the band.
23:00Reminds me of a young me in many ways.
23:02Give me a free you wish.
23:04I do.
23:05You need to talk to Hitz Cal to keep on a body like that.
23:08He is not a star.
23:10Idris is the star.
23:12Look at that.
23:14The EOE.
23:17And Tate Wilder here on Evolve on a Wednesday night.
23:20Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone, ringside.
23:22The WWE Performance Center.
23:24Let's see what Tate Wilder has for Idris Inofi.
23:27And let me just say this.
23:28This isn't because I don't have a great relationship with Stevie Turner.
23:33But I don't think the treatment she's been given, the EOE, has been fair lately.
23:37That's just my opinion.
23:39Really?
23:40She treated him good, and then all of a sudden, Dante Chen stepped into the mix,
23:43and he was the new shiny twin.
23:44I just, I don't, I don't think that's fair.
23:46That's not what happened.
23:47That is what happened.
23:48Stevie Turner gave Idris rather quickly an opportunity at the Evolve Championship.
23:53Yeah, and now he's chopped liver.
23:54Now he's chopped liver.
23:55No, he's not, it's not about being chopped liver, but you gotta get back on line and earn it.
23:58Back on, look at the guy.
23:59That has nothing to do with Dante Chen.
24:01Look, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree, Peter.
24:04But you're wrong.
24:05As Idris Zenofei and Tate Wilder having an awkward back and forth here,
24:08each trying to sort of take control of a wrist lock.
24:12Tate Wilder showing some athleticism with the kick up and the drop kick.
24:17Shakes up Idris for a moment.
24:22Tate Wilder, the modern cowboy with some big left hands.
24:35For Idris.
24:37He's in a bad spot right now.
24:39That's not where you wanna be.
24:40Oh, he held on.
24:41He held on.
24:43Idris flipped right out of the ring and here in front of us at the announce table.
24:48Looking to take out the legs of Tate Wilder and instead gets taken out himself.
24:53Yeah, I gotta admit, this is, you know, I'm impressed right now.
24:56Hold on!
24:57Oh!
24:58Good God!
24:59Yeah!
25:00Okay!
25:01Hey!
25:02Credit where credit's due.
25:06Let's see that one again.
25:08Impressive stuff from Tate Wilder.
25:10Climb off the apron.
25:11No, no!
25:12And connecting to opponent Idris Zenofei on the floor.
25:15And now, Tate Wilder jumping up to the top rope.
25:21Let's see what he can do up there.
25:23Oh!
25:24He can eat two boots to the face.
25:26He sure can.
25:27Two.
25:28I thought that was it right there.
25:30He about knocked him out with those kicks to the face.
25:32And an opening now for Idris Zenofei.
25:35But see, now he's just ticked Idris off.
25:38Former US Navy vet, believe me, he's got thick skin.
25:41He can take what Tate was giving him, and now he's gonna give it right back.
25:47Well said.
25:48It's both men now going back and forth, showing.
25:51Oh!
25:53Nasty!
25:54Just taking out Tate Wilder.
26:00Gonna try to slow things down and grind it out on the mat.
26:04Oof!
26:05Come on!
26:08Some elbows now digging in with a chin lock.
26:12What's the strategy here for Idris Zenofei?
26:14Was he trying to catch a little breather here?
26:16Trying to wear down Tate Wilder?
26:17What's the plan?
26:18I mean, you win by pinfall or submission.
26:20He's trying to wear him down, keep him down.
26:22At any point, Tate Wilder can tap out.
26:25He can give up.
26:26He can tell the ref that he doesn't wanna go on anymore.
26:28And we're close to the back of the head like that.
26:30Oh, man.
26:31I don't know.
26:32He might be saying he's done pretty soon.
26:36Well, that could be an effective strategy.
26:38But this certainly pushing the limit as Idris pulling down his armband
26:43and attempting to use it to choke Wilder.
26:45I mean, come on, ref.
26:50The referee removing it from the ring, but is Idris going for it again?
26:53Tate countering it now and going on the offense.
26:56Cowboy's strength isn't in his hands.
27:01It's in his heart, grit, and refusal to back down.
27:04Can he keep going?
27:05Let's go, let's go.
27:15Idris Inoufe almost caught by that suplex, but found a way out.
27:19It's the courage for Wilder, instead takes Inoufe down.
27:22.
27:28Wow, look at the athleticism, but the moonsault comes up empty.
27:32Can Inoufe take advantage?
27:34And Passant.
27:39That could be it.
27:41Here is your winner, Idris Inoufe.
27:56Wow.
27:57A big win for Idris Inoufe.
28:00And let's take a look back outside the ring, right on top of Inoufe.
28:03That was incredible.
28:04Tate Wilder tapping into his daredevil ways.
28:07Both men showing the impressive athleticism.
28:10And things were looking promising, but in the end, as you see,
28:14Inoufe able to capitalize and win.
28:17What was the name of that finishing move?
28:19The end Passant.
28:22Do you play chess, Peter?
28:23I do not.
28:24That's a chess move?
28:25Neither do I.
28:26Oh.
28:27Big win for Idris Inoufe.
28:30Hold the phone.
28:35Idris, Idris.
28:37Whoa.
28:38Relax, man.
28:39Look.
28:40Congratulations on your wins.
28:42You look impressive tonight.
28:50You know, I've had a few weeks to think about what you said to me, and you were right.
28:57So, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for this.
29:03Oh!
29:04Turnabout is fair play as Dante Chen catches Idris Inoufe with a quick right hand to the jaw.
29:17Well deserved.
29:18All right, we're going to head backstage where I'm told Keanu Carver has something he needs to get off his chest.
29:26Hey, Thatcher.
29:27So, you want to step up from the ID, kids, right?
29:29Well, that's why you got your ass stomped out.
29:31And the only thing that stopped me from ending your career was Shawn Legacy trying to step up and act like a superhero.
29:37Boy, you ain't no superhero.
29:38You a goofy.
29:39Just want me to get you a cape or something, boy.
29:42I'm going to tell you one time, and one time only.
29:44You better play with somebody less dangerous, Shawty, before your ass end up on that medical table right next to your mentor.
29:50I'm putting the whole entire ID program on high alert, and I ain't going to stop until I hunt every single last one of y'all down and send y'all packing!
30:01So, we're supposed to wait around until we find out who Oasis begs to be his partner?
30:05Dude, fact. How are we supposed to lock in?
30:07Bro, it's so not sick.
30:08Whoa, guys. Jackson's fighting his title tonight. We gotta be there for bro.
30:12Yeah, yeah, we'd love to be there, but how with that beat contract?
30:16Stupid contract. Listen, guys. I got this game. I'm the Evolve champion for a reason. V's up.
30:30Let's go. That was hard. That was tough. Let's go.
30:34Well, maybe Jackson Drake should have read his contract a little bit closer because he's gonna need all the help he can get.
30:40Heartbreak Drake takes on this man, the experienced luchador, Lucha Lit, Lince Dorado,
30:45as he looks to start a Lucha House Party and add the WWE Evolve Championship to his resume next.
30:51This October, John Cena lands in Perth for a full-scale WWE Takeover.
31:03It all starts with SmackDown, ends with Raw.
31:08And in the center of it all, Cena takes the spotlight for one of WWE's most massive nights.
31:16WWE Crown Jordan Perth, three nights, one epic weekend.
31:22All at RAC Arena.
31:24WWE Takeover, Perth, this October.
31:28Combo tickets on sale now.
31:35Nice one, Dave. Another successful week as Prime Minister, if I do say so myself.
31:40Stevie!
31:41Idris! Left the door unlocked again, did I?
31:44Stevie! I know you've seen what happened out there.
31:47Dante Chen came out there and brutally and maliciously assaulted me!
31:51Oh, I did see it. But you were out in the dome, didn't he?
31:54Absolutely awful.
31:56Yeah, awful. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
31:58If I do recall, a few weeks ago, you did exactly the same thing to him.
32:03And I rather enjoyed seeing him get his comeuppance. Personally.
32:07Also, this is funny now.
32:10It's not funny, it's fair play.
32:12Fair play? More like favoritism.
32:14Because that's what you do. You show favoritism.
32:16What do you mean?
32:17What do I mean?
32:18You're a Vice General Manager.
32:20You clearly got an issue with me, and you got no issue showing.
32:25First of all, I am your PM, and I am your boss.
32:28And I will not sit here and let you accuse me of being anything but best for Evolve.
32:33Yeah, I've got a hard time believing that.
32:34Yeah, well, how about this?
32:35Next week, you and Dante Chen, you can have your one-on-one match.
32:39And how is that for unbiased?
32:43For sure.
32:44Yeah, well, get out of my office.
32:48Bias.
32:49Well, this new attitude is certainly something, but all his talk has led to PM
32:54Stevie Turner making this match official.
32:56And I couldn't be more excited to see Dante Chen and Idris Sinope finally settle
33:01their issues in the ring next week on WWE Evolve.
33:06And also, can Jordan Oasis find himself a worthy partner for tag team action?
33:11He's going to need one when he faces the crafty, cocky, swipe right.
33:16He'll definitely need backup when it comes to the vanity project.
33:19But thankfully, this man won't have that to worry about tonight.
33:23Lucha!
33:24Lucha!
33:25Lucha!
33:26Lucha!
33:27Lucha lit.
33:28Lince Dorado has the opportunity of a lifetime tonight, Robert Stone.
33:35The last time Lince had a chance to have WWE gold around his waist was September 15,
33:432019 at the Clash of the Champions when he had a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship.
33:48And now, almost six years later, he has another shot for WWE Evolve Gold.
33:55Lucha!
33:56Lucha!
33:57Lucha!
33:58Lucha!
33:59Lucha!
34:00Lucha!
34:01Lucha!
34:02Lucha!
34:03Lucha!
34:04He's back to Worlds Collide in Los Angeles, and now a shot here at Heartbreak Drake,
34:10at the Evolve Championship.
34:12Hey, hey, hey!
34:13Go!
34:14Hey!
34:15Let's go.
34:16Ha!
34:17Woo!
34:18Let's go, baby.
34:21Throw him up!
34:22You know the drill, Peter, VP is here!
34:24VP is here.
34:26Jackson Drake, the first ever men's Evolve champion.
34:29You know what?
34:30He's without the Vanity Project.
34:32He's without Swipe Right.
34:34He's without everybody.
34:37But you know what?
34:38It's all good because Jackson Drake is here and the party's here.
34:44Throw him up, Peter.
34:45I'm not going to throw my Vs up.
34:47But, yes, Jackson Drake, the champ, is here.
34:50And what an opportunity for Lince Dorado to take that title
34:56off of Jackson Drake's waist almost as soon as he got it.
35:01These chances do not come every day.
35:03And we're going to learn a lot about Jackson Drake tonight,
35:05the kind of champion he is,
35:07when we find out whether or not he can survive this title defense
35:10against Lince Dorado.
35:11The following contest scheduled for one fall
35:21is for the WWE Evolve Championship.
35:29Introducing first, the challenger from the Lucha Lounge
35:34in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he's Lucha Lince Dorado.
35:47And his opponent, from Greensboro, North Carolina,
35:52we get 188 pounds, representing the Vanity Project.
35:57He is the WWE Evolve Champion, Jackson Drake.
36:06As you see, the Evolve Championship hanging in the middle of the ring,
36:27in the bounce.
36:28Jackson Drake's first title defense.
36:30Callie Armstrong successful last week
36:32and her first defense as champion.
36:35Could Jackson Drake do the same?
36:37Also against a crafty longtime vet, Lince Dorado.
36:41Well, you know something?
36:42Right now, the people are on the edge of their seats.
36:46You can feel it here in the Evolve Arena.
36:48I'm on the edge of my seat.
36:49I'm stoked for this.
36:50But I still have to ask the question,
36:52does Lince, Peter, does he really deserve this shot?
36:55I know he pinned Jackson Drake in a six-man tag team match.
36:59But does that give him a title shot?
37:02Just like that.
37:03Just like that.
37:04Well, I mean, you have to remember,
37:05these things don't happen in a vacuum.
37:07He's not just the guy who scored that pin.
37:09He is a veteran with a lot of experience,
37:11a decorated history,
37:12who brings a lot of credibility to Evolve.
37:15And I agree with you on all of that.
37:17Taking nothing away from Lince,
37:18but still you have to rack up a few victories to just get a title shot.
37:23I mean, look what Jackson Drake has went through to earn that championship.
37:28Well, of course, Vanity Project banned from ringside tonight.
37:32It would be a very different situation.
37:34Can we talk about that for a second?
37:35Okay.
37:36Because I, I, it's just a touch on that.
37:38Hold on, pitfall.
37:40Stevie Turner agreeing to let that be in the contract.
37:43They were taking advantage of Jackson Drake.
37:45I mean, how is that taking advantage?
37:48They didn't have a lawyer looking over anything.
37:50They basically just talked him into signing it.
37:52As Lince Dorado looking good early on against the champ.
37:57Jackson Drake thrown to the outside here.
38:01Some early troubles for the young champ.
38:04And Lince Dorado, lucha lit, baby.
38:08We have more of this championship match next, right here on Evolve.
38:12I had a dream.
38:18WrestleMania 41 was the most successful WrestleMania in history.
38:22We shattered every record from attendance to viewership.
38:26So we're running it back to the sports and entertainment capital of the world.
38:32I had a dream.
38:33I had a vision.
38:35I had to work for this and you did it.
38:38It's time to double down, Las Vegas.
38:43WrestleMania returns in 2026.
38:46Are you ready?
38:47Yeah, you can't stop this.
38:52Yeah, you can't stop this.
38:56Now get me off of this thing.
38:57Lince Dorado in control right now against the champ, Jackson Drake.
39:05Titles on the line.
39:06WWE Evolve.
39:09And of course, Vanity Project banned from ringside.
39:12Should they interfere?
39:13Pitfall and a two count.
39:16Should the Vanity Project interfere and Jackson Drake be disqualified,
39:20he would lose the championship.
39:22Just adding more to why that's just not fair.
39:25They took advantage of Jackson Drake.
39:27He's young, man.
39:28Give him a break.
39:29That's not cool.
39:30No, no, what's fair is not having the Vanity Project interfere.
39:33Well, that was fair right there.
39:35That was fair.
39:36Jackson Drake with the dive to the outside, taking out Lince Dorado.
39:41Rob, I have to imagine a title defense party would be pretty epic today.
39:45Oh, I mean, right now he's proven that he doesn't need anyone helping him at ringside anyway.
39:48Look at him.
39:49He's doing it all on his own.
39:50That's big strikes from the champ.
39:55He's going to throw Lince Dorado back in the ring where he can score a pin.
40:02Heartbreak Drake is cocky and charismatic, but when the bell rings, he's intense.
40:07He can go.
40:07He's a student of the game, man.
40:10The Evolve champion.
40:12Oof.
40:13What did you make of some of the things Jackson Drake had to say during that contract signing last week?
40:19I mean, everything he said about himself was true.
40:21He speaks the truth.
40:23Look, there's nothing wrong with being overly confident.
40:25There's just not.
40:27Jackson Drake has backed it up in a look to pin Lince Dorado.
40:30How great has his Evolve title reign been so far?
40:36I mean, he's changed.
40:37Not especially.
40:39He's changed the game for Evolve ever since he's been the face of Evolve.
40:43I agree he's a worthy champion, but this is his first title defense.
40:47This is where we find out the kind of champion that he is.
40:50Everybody in the WWE and the wrestling world are talking about the Vanity Project.
40:54They are, and it's because Jackson Drake's champion.
40:56Well, I will give credit where it's due again.
40:58The Vanity Project has done their thing.
41:03It's Lince Dorado now.
41:06Power slam and then a pinfall.
41:11Lince survives, but Jackson Drake, man, he is young, but he is experienced.
41:17He's been doing this for a long time, the Carolina Reaper has.
41:21Busted in the mouth somewhere, you see the blood trickling down his teeth.
41:26Yeah, I don't know when that happened.
41:27But I tell you something, this guy, he's not waiting for moments.
41:30He's creating them.
41:31He's defining the next generation.
41:34What would it mean for this early title reign, though?
41:36A win particularly over Lince Dorado, who was fantastic at Worlds Collide about a month and a half ago.
41:41I mean, just think about that.
41:43The street cred that Lince has here in the WWE, how long he's been here in the company for Jackson to win like that.
41:51I mean, it'll just bump up his resume.
41:53Wow, these guys are throwing hands.
41:56Lince chop after chop.
41:58He's not having it.
41:59And again, the underrated power of Jackson Drake going from kinfall.
42:06And Lince Dorado, who savvy vet, but with a career boost, how big a boost if he would win the Evolve championship?
42:15I mean, it would be.
42:15And it's what he's wanted, not only his whole career in the WWE, his whole wrestling career, his whole life.
42:21He's wanted this.
42:22This night means a lot to him.
42:23But unfortunately, he's in right now with one of the best.
42:25Heartbreak Drake, who's already busted open.
42:33Where are we going here?
42:34Holding on.
42:35You tell me.
42:40Whoa.
42:42Lince Dorado innovating on the fly.
42:46I always give credit.
42:47I do.
42:48That's why I'm an honest guy.
42:49That was great.
42:50Lince Dorado, still not in a great position, but what an effective move to get himself back into this match and send the champ reeling.
43:09Crowd feeling, Lince Dorado.
43:11Could they smell championship?
43:13That was lucha lit.
43:18And so is he right now.
43:20Lince is feeling it.
43:24Momentum behind lucha lit.
43:28Back race.
43:29He didn't come to play.
43:30He came to fly.
43:31He beat Jackson once.
43:32Can he again?
43:33Another pin.
43:35Is it enough?
43:37And then it'll roll right into a submission arm bar situation.
43:41Very, very smart and tactical move from Lince Dorado, but it turns into a pin instead.
43:47And he held on.
43:47See, that's the thing.
43:48He can fly in the air, but he can also go on the mat.
43:51Ring awareness by Jackson Drake to get right to the ropes.
43:54Jackson Drake, man, so savvy.
43:57Again, young but experienced on the indies.
43:59Been doing this since a youngster.
44:01Wrestled all over the country.
44:04And you see what he did there, Peter?
44:05He knew he was in trouble, so he rolled out of the ring to get a breather.
44:08That is someone who is ahead of their time.
44:11Savvy stuff.
44:13Oh!
44:14Is he going for his big shooting star press?
44:24Wait, hold on.
44:26Are they coming out here?
44:29He'll lose his championship.
44:32Oh!
44:32It was a distraction, but no one showed up.
44:35Hey!
44:36You didn't say you couldn't play music.
44:38Oh!
44:39And Heartbreak Drake is taking advantage of the situation.
44:43Could it be?
44:43Three.
44:48Two.
44:49Oh!
44:50And Lince Dorado kicking out at two and a half.
44:52Ha, ha, ha.
44:53That was close.
44:55Not a bad play, and you got to admit that, Peter.
44:58Hey, anybody can play music.
45:00Well, one thing I never take away from the Vanity Project
45:03is their ability to be crafty.
45:06And playing the music, but no one comes out.
45:08Guess what?
45:08That's no disqualification.
45:10Lince wants to change contracts.
45:11Why can't he get them back in his own game?
45:13I hear you.
45:15I'm actually not disagreeing with you.
45:17Smart stuff there, but Lince.
45:19Wheelbarrow up!
45:20What a pin!
45:23Jackson Drake kicking out.
45:24Ooh, pays the price.
45:27He'll feel that one tomorrow.
45:28Lince proving that he's got nine lives,
45:31but Jackson might have ten!
45:33Kick after kick now from Lince Dorado.
45:37Jackson Drake has him up.
45:38Could it be?
45:39He's looking to finish him.
45:41Lince keeps fighting.
45:42This is Jackson Drake's first title defense.
45:45Lince Dorado looking for gold.
45:50Back and forth.
45:52Are we going?
45:52Brain buster!
45:54Beautiful brain buster there from Lince Dorado.
45:59Can he finish off the champ?
46:01Can he taste championship gold?
46:04Oh, my goodness!
46:08He's got to go up top.
46:09He's going to try to finish this thing off.
46:11Now he's going for that shooting star.
46:14I can feel it, but so could Jackson.
46:16Could the title reign be over?
46:19He hits it!
46:20And there it is again!
46:22The ring awareness, baby.
46:23See?
46:24He is not going to let that championship go bye-bye.
46:26I'm telling you.
46:27Robert Stone, how do you get that sort of experience to know at this age when you're feeling that to just get out of harm's way?
46:35And here comes Lince!
46:36Oh!
46:39I think Lince might have took himself out a little bit on that one.
46:45Lince Dorado doing what he's done for a long time in this business.
46:49And you're right, kind of overshot it, but flying up the ramp.
46:53Whoa!
46:54Wait, hold on!
46:56That's Ricky Smokes!
46:57Unaliving!
46:59Ricky Smokes was holding Lince's legs!
47:01He's quiet, Peter!
47:06A dazed Lince Dorado!
47:08A second unaliving!
47:10That's all I'm seeing!
47:11And that's all we're seeing!
47:13The champ retains!
47:15Here is your winner, and still, WWE Evolve Champion, Jackson Dre!
47:26Wow.
47:28It was the first WWE Evolve Championship defense.
47:32It lived up to the height.
47:33Fast, furious, heavy hitting.
47:35Both men throwing caution to the wind, with Lince Dorado showing why he's Lucha Lit.
47:40But just when you think you can outsmart the Vanity Project, think again,
47:43because here they showed just how much intelligence they have by deceiving everybody,
47:47not only with the theme music, but with Ricky Smokes doing his thing.
47:51You gotta love these guys.
47:54The distraction from the Vanity Project.
47:56Wait, hold on a second.
47:58What the hell's going on?
47:59Oh!
48:01Brooks Jensen?
48:05Oh!
48:06What the hell is Brooks Jensen doing?
48:11We haven't seen him in weeks!
48:16Anybody can show up on Evolve, Peter!
48:19Brooks Jensen attacking the champ!
48:24A completely dumbfounded Vanity Project, as our champion lays on the mat,
48:30taken out by Brooks Jensen!
48:31I'm sorry.
48:33Shoot!
48:33We haven't seen him yet!
48:37Uh-oh.
48:49You don't see him again?
48:51Don't be the seat, too.
