00:00Forever.
00:09Together.
00:30Together.
00:40It's Wednesday night, it's 2B, and it's time for WWE Evolve.
00:46My name is Peter Rosenberg, happy to be joined by my pal Robert Stone.
00:50We are ringside, and we have a night of action.
01:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:03Introducing first, from Singapore, weighing in at 227 pounds, Dante Chen!
01:14Dante Chen, beloved by the people.
01:16What is it, Robert Stone, that people gravitate to so much with this guy?
01:20Well, it's the three Ps. He says passion, precision, and perseverance.
01:24But I gotta say, you know, I am a friend, acquaintance of Dante,
01:29but I thought it was kind of uncool taking that cheap shot,
01:33that sucker punch on the EOA Idris Inofi last week.
01:37It's just, it was out of nowhere. It wasn't fair.
01:40No, it was fair. It's called turnabout is fair play.
01:43Do you not remember? Inofi did the same thing to Dante Chen.
01:46I don't remember that.
01:48Well, Dante Chen will get a chance to show everyone what he really thinks tonight
01:55when he takes on Idris Inofi.
01:59And his opponent, from Eaglewood, California, weighing in at 200 pounds, Idris Inofi!
02:20The E-O-E, Idris Inofi, has not been the same man ever since that fatal four-way eliminator for the Evolve Championship.
02:34He was knocked out of that match, Robert Stone, and since then, he's been on a mission.
02:38However, some of his tactics have been, I would say, questionable at best.
02:43I wouldn't question anything he's done. I think right now, this Idris is the best version of Idris we've ever seen,
02:49because he is not a star. He is the star.
02:54Well, if he wants to be the star, and as you can see, as they say, he is the definition of looks like a million bucks.
03:03Get your phone out. Take a picture. He was just telling the fans to take a picture. Get a picture of that.
03:07That's an entrance you're going to want to remember. Post it on Instagram.
03:10He's a handsome man, there's no question. Incredible shape.
03:14But he needs to get a win over Dante Chen if he's going to keep up the momentum and put himself back in the title picture.
03:24You know, when you look back at the history of these two, when you check out the results of other times they've been in the ring,
03:29they've been in numerous tag matches before, but this is their first ever time competing one-on-one.
03:36And similar style in the ring, similar speed, similar power that they both started at the same time in the NXT 2.0 era.
03:46So this is going to be a very even matchup right here.
03:50Early on, Dante Chen on top. By the way, Dante Chen with quite a physique as well.
03:56That guy's in unbelievable shape too. He's in phenomenal shape.
03:58But let me tell you my bone to pick with Dante Chen.
04:01All right, he does everything the right way, but he almost does it two right.
04:05He's almost too much of a yes man. He needs to break the rules a little bit.
04:09So him sucker punching Idris was a little different for him, but will he ever do something like that again?
04:14I don't know. But he needs to do more of it if he wants to succeed and push past what he's been doing so far in WWE.
04:20Quick pin fall and kick out at one free no fee.
04:23Did you say he needs to break the rules more?
04:25What I'm saying is he gave him that sucker punch. It wasn't cool because I don't think it was fair to Idris.
04:30But if he does more things like that, maybe he'll get more opportunity.
04:35I mean, look at all the opportunity Idris has been getting ever since he's changed his attitude.
04:39He's picking up wins. I mean, he just got one last week.
04:42Tell me this. Why do you think Idris confronted Dante the way he did in the first place?
04:47Because it's not fair that Stevie Turner, the fraud PM around this place, chose Dante to be the new shiny toy.
04:55It's not fair. What happened to Idris?
05:00Dante Chen showing some of that athleticism. These guys can both go in a variety of ways.
05:05A lot of strength, a lot of athleticism.
05:07As you see, you know, Faye using the rope to his advantage and then a boot to the back of the head of Dante Chen.
05:15You've got to remember, this is an important match. This is Dante's first ever match in Evolve.
05:21There are eyes on this. There are eyes on it. These two, like I said, they've been evenly matched.
05:27Who's going to be the next star? Is Idris going to get another Evolve title shot?
05:31Is Dante ever going to get an Evolve title shot? A lot rise on this match that we're watching right now.
05:36How high is the ceiling for Idris Sinofe?
05:40Oh, you can't even see it. Look up and you can't see it. That's how high it is, Peter. Look at the guy.
05:45This is sports entertainment. He's a superstar.
05:49As Michael Jordan famously once said at his Hall of Fame speech, the ceiling is the roof.
05:53I'm confused.
05:55Not so was I. Idris Sinofe with that reverse chin lock on Dante Chen.
06:05These guys are young. They're in great shape. No doubt about it. Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce and Ava are definitely interested in seeing this match of potential talent they want to sign to their respective brands.
06:20Chen bouncing right back against Enofe as he started to gain some momentum.
06:27And that fist right to the face of Idris Enofe.
06:30Dante Chen looking for a suplex or a brain buster.
06:34Enofe fights out. Wasn't able to get it all.
06:37Jumping double accent. A little extra something on that. I'd like that. Followed by a DDT. This could be it.
06:43One, two, and a kick out for Dante Chen on two. But you mentioned it, how he got up on that double axe handle.
06:51That is the extra zhuzh, if you will, that Enofe brings to every move because he's just so athletically gifted.
06:57Oh, absolutely. And he's happy to be in this match. When Stevie Turner in her office said, hey, you officially have this match with Dante Chen.
07:03Dante Chen, he just had a smile on his face. He's got a point to prove and he's doing that right now.
07:08He certainly is. Locked in again on the chin of Dante Chen.
07:16He twists his way out and turns it into a neck breaker to Enofe.
07:20And now Enofe clearly feeling the effects of that neck breaker.
07:27Taken down by Chen, who's now just getting to it. I mean, this is where you see the anger that Chen has for the way he was disrespected by Enofe a few weeks ago.
07:36Yeah, but you know what? I talked about him being different and that's something different out of Dante.
07:39I wouldn't see him just get on top of a guy and start giving closed fists. That's the kind of stuff he does need.
07:44Dante finding a way there with the Insiguri. Get out of the way. Ref, boot to the face.
07:50Is he going to look for the pin? Not quite yet.
07:55That might have been a mistake by the Singaporean warrior by not going.
07:59Is he going for the gentle touch here?
08:02Enofe. Savvy.
08:06He's got ears. He heard the people coming up.
08:09Slid under the rope to catch a break.
08:11And very, very wisely uses the rope to his advantage again.
08:15To try to shift momentum back his way.
08:18Are we going?
08:19He was going for the end passant.
08:21And the pitfall.
08:23Oh.
08:24Wait a minute.
08:25And now Enofe rolls him up.
08:26And scores it.
08:28That's three.
08:29Here is your winner, Atrius and Enofe.
08:35Enofe clearly grabbed the tights of Dante.
08:37What do you mean he clearly grabbed the tights?
08:39I mean, he clearly grabbed the tights for leverage and get that pin.
08:44I didn't clearly see anything.
08:46Let's take a look back.
08:47A lot of animosity going into this match and the match did not disappoint.
08:52In his first ever match in Evolve, Dante Chen exhibiting the strength and the agility against the EOE.
08:58And some major fists, but Idris was able to score the quick victory with a handful of tights.
09:05Either way, the win for Enofe.
09:09Let's take a look earlier today where Jordan Oasis was on the search for a tag team partner.
09:15We're going to take it from average to savage.
09:18Oh, yeah.
09:19What's up, y'all?
09:20Well, listen, listen.
09:22I'm sure you guys both have heard by now that Keanu Carver is trying to put an end to the whole WWID program.
09:27What's that have to do with us?
09:28It's a program that both of us are a part of.
09:31All of us are a part of.
09:32We got here to Evolve doing it.
09:34I'm sure you heard Jackson Jerick running his mouth claiming that vanity project, they run Evolve.
09:38Again, what's that have to do with it?
09:40I'm saying that right now, all of us should be on the same page.
09:44I have a tag team match tonight against Swipe Right.
09:46And I was wondering maybe if one of you guys would want to be my tag partner for-
09:49Jordan, your request is denied.
09:52You're weak, you're pale, you're ready to fail, dude.
09:55Jordan, why would we ever want to tag with you?
09:58Look at you, man.
10:00You travel and live out of a backpack.
10:03You're a nomad.
10:04He has no friends.
10:06Jordan, who would ever want to tag with you?
10:09Nah, look, look, that's our guy.
10:11No, no, no, enough of that.
10:12What up, Jordan?
10:13What's up, Cap?
10:14Jordan has done a lot more to earn his place in Evolve than y'all two.
10:18Y'all sound like a bunch of clowns.
10:19Might be the biggest lie I've ever heard.
10:21No, no, I'm so serious.
10:22Jordan's been earning his stripes.
10:24Just because he goes about his business a little quietly, that don't make him a bad person.
10:28Matter of fact, it makes him a lot better than y'all two.
10:31That's the biggest lie I've ever heard, dude.
10:33Who are you to degrade his grind?
10:37A fellow WWE ID prospect, have you two forgotten those long drives?
10:42How much hard it took to get to this opportunity?
10:45I know that we, we haven't.
10:48Well, listen, boys, hey, I appreciate it.
10:50I appreciate the kind words you have on my back and all, but I gotta go find me a tag partner.
10:54He's never gonna find a partner.
10:58No way.
10:59Hey, save that brotherhood talk for later, please.
11:02Look at Sam's glorious beard.
11:04He's become a ferocious stud, something you two would know nothing about.
11:09Sipping on your coffee, doing your cartwheels, chasing acceptance, come on.
11:14Cap, Jack, maybe Gall and I can send you two packing.
11:22You can hang out with your little buddy, Jordan.
11:24What do you wanna do then?
11:26We'll go find Stevie, dummies.
11:27Go find Stevie.
11:28It's whatever.
11:30I don't like that one bit.
11:32Jordan Oasis seems to be learning that finding a tag team partner is easier said than done.
11:37Now, in the meantime, Cappuccino Jones and Jack Hartwheels look to teach It's Gall and Sam Holloway a fingertips.
11:43Sam Holloway a thing or two about locker room harmony.
11:46It's Gall and Sam Holloway take on Adrenaline Drip next.
12:13WWE ID prospects continue to show improvement with the support of WWE ID on the Indies.
12:22WWE ID prospects receive financial support and training opportunities from the WWE, giving them the drive and ability to improve.
12:34Some notable standouts on the independent scene include Aaron Rourke, Zara Zacher, and Ice Williams.
12:46Those that show improvement and make the most of the program will compete on WWE Evolve, which can lead to NXT.
13:00WWE ID talent here in NXT.
13:02You know how impactful and how helpful that WWE ID program is.
13:05And then the dream of Raw and SmackDown and even the biggest stage of them all, WrestleMania.
13:12It is great to see WWE ID talent making waves all throughout the independent scene.
13:22And speaking of WWE ID, here comes Adrenaline Drip.
13:28The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
13:32Introducing first, Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel.
13:37Adrenaline Drip.
13:39Jordan Oasis's quest to find a partner is what led to this match right now.
13:50As we see Adrenaline Drip.
13:51What do you think of the name?
13:52You like an Adrenaline Drip?
13:53Is it working for you?
13:54I mean, I'm feeling the name.
13:55I'm feeling the attitude.
13:56The Jack Cartwheel's terrible hair.
13:59I don't know if I'm feeling that so much.
14:02Just being honest.
14:03I mean, come on, Peter.
14:04What is it?
14:05Is it 2005?
14:07It's giving a little Backstreet Boys early 2000s, sure.
14:11Well, I don't want it that way.
14:13You know what?
14:14You're at your best today, dude.
14:37And their opponents.
14:39The team of Sam Holloway.
14:42And it's gone!
14:45All right, Robert Stone.
14:46I'll let you get it out of the way right now.
14:48What are all the corny sayings you want to spit out about it's gone?
14:51Oh, come on, bro.
14:52Look at the megaphone.
14:53Are we really doing this?
14:54Can I love this guy anymore?
14:56The real-life action figure.
14:58Tan Jack, ready to attack.
14:59Keep it lean.
15:00Keep it tight.
15:01Abs plays it through the night.
15:02New condition.
15:03No competition.
15:04How high is he up on the Stud-O-Meter, Peter?
15:07And let me just tell you something.
15:08Sam Holloway, with that new look, the new black leather, he's up on the Stud-O-Meter too.
15:13You, you're at the bottom of it, bro.
15:15Sorry.
15:16I'll tell you what.
15:17Holloway, a big dude, man.
15:19That is an imposing figure.
15:21It's Gall.
15:22They're looking to, uh, I don't know, annoy everyone in Evolve week after week.
15:30And he's done a great job of it.
15:31As you see now, he's adding to his annoying ways the Jimmy Hart-like mini-megaphone.
15:37Shout out to the Hall of Famer, probably watching us in Tampa right now.
15:41Well, just because It's Gall and Sam Holloway didn't want to be Jordan Oasis' partner, why
15:47did Adrenaline Drip gotta get all up in their face and even want this match?
15:50You know what I mean?
15:51You're allowed to decline an offer.
15:53It's a, it's a fair point, but here we are.
15:55And you know what?
15:56We're better for it.
15:57Cause we get to see the new look Adrenaline Drip against It's Gall and Hardway Holloway.
16:02I'm not mad at it.
16:03It's Gall searching for a victory here in Evolve.
16:06Now all four of these guys have been killing it in the WWE ID system.
16:13As you see, it's Gall doing what he does.
16:19And you see the innovative offense.
16:22Oh, come on.
16:23That's right.
16:24That ain't cool.
16:25That's right.
16:26That's not fair.
16:27Show him how you do it, Cappuccino.
16:28One of the best athletes, I would say, one of the best pure athletes in Evolve.
16:33Oh, no.
16:34Now he's being squatted by its skull.
16:36And it is really cool to see.
16:38I'll say this.
16:39Oh, wow.
16:40There was height on that.
16:42You mentioned all four of these guys in the WWE ID program.
16:45When you think back to a few months ago when Evolve got its start on its very first show.
16:50How far all four of them have already come.
16:53It's a really cool thing.
16:54It really, really is.
16:55And we've seen the development of both of these guys.
16:59And I'm talking about adrenaline drip as Cartwheel goes for the pin.
17:04Cartwheel and Cappuccino sort of been establishing themselves as maybe the top tag team in Evolve outside of Swipe Right.
17:11Would you say?
17:12Well, they're friends outside of the ring.
17:13I will say that.
17:14So it's definitely helping them as a tag team.
17:16But this is really, now that they've got the name and everything, their official real tag team debut.
17:21I mean, once you get a name, I feel that's when, you know, it's kind of official, right?
17:26How many official tag teams did you have over the years, Robert?
17:28Oh, I loved it.
17:29Did you see Sam Hardway Holloway just holding the ropes to his partner?
17:32These guys are already working great as a team.
17:34It's their first time.
17:35Oh, my God.
17:38You know how big he is, right?
17:406'8", 265.
17:41Uh-oh.
17:42Watch out, Cappuccino.
17:43We should move.
17:44I don't even want to be here anymore.
17:45Oh!
17:46Oh!
17:49This is a different level of intensity.
17:52Oh, man.
17:55Oh!
17:57Oh!
17:58Adrenaline drip!
17:59Did you see the height he got on that?
18:01You know how big he is!
18:02Holloway with a pin!
18:05I don't know if I'm Cartwheel if I want to kick out of that.
18:10This is, this match is power versus speed, and now you are seeing the power.
18:15Man, this is a new Sam Holloway.
18:18So impressed by the athleticism, in addition to the power, as it's Gull.
18:26Throwing some body shots.
18:27Yeah, Carb's on hold because he's swole as gold.
18:31Look at this.
18:36Light work.
18:37Light work.
18:38He calls it out to the crowd.
18:39It sure is.
18:40Rip-zipped and protein-sipped.
18:42How many notes do you have on this guy?
18:43These aren't notes.
18:44These are my head.
18:45Look at him, and now he's getting back at Jack Cartwheel.
18:47You see that?
18:48That's why, who, Cappuccino earlier was doing some push-ups on him.
18:51No, no, I don't think you're missing part of the story.
18:54Did you mention yet that his traps have traps?
18:55Oh!
18:56Double leg drop.
18:58From it's Gull.
18:59He's going for a pin.
19:01Is that enough?
19:02No, Cartwheel.
19:03Peter, you're just mad because you're weak, pale, and ready to fail.
19:05Okay?
19:06I'm sorry.
19:07In the ring right now is Big Daddy Red.
19:09He's all about getting ahead and making that bread.
19:12How many do you have?
19:15It's Gull tossing around.
19:17Cartwheel was looking to make his way back to Cappuccino,
19:20and instead finds him stuck next to Hardway Holloway.
19:22Nasty.
19:23You don't want to be over there.
19:24Oh, this is the last place Cartwheel wants to be
19:28as he gets fed right to Holloway and ragdolled across the ring.
19:33Sam Hardway Holloway is a scary man.
19:36Don't kick out Cartwheel.
19:38You've got to admit, these two are working great
19:40for their first time ever as a tag team.
19:42I am very impressed so far with it's Gull and Sam Holloway.
19:46Holloway is a brute, an intimidator, a tormentor.
19:51And Jack Cartwheel now looks almost like a little kid in his arms.
19:56Nasty shot to the back.
19:58Oh, wait.
20:00Hold on.
20:01Oh, man.
20:04And the high flyer.
20:10Flying forearm from Cappuccino.
20:14Clothesline.
20:15He may have dazed Holloway.
20:16Uh-oh.
20:17Maybe not.
20:18Spoke too soon.
20:19Maybe not.
20:20Cappuccino.
20:22Shot of espresso punch to the face.
20:26He avoided the choke slam and found the shot of espresso.
20:29Cappuccino.
20:30Oh, man.
20:31The megaphone.
20:32Oh!
20:33A half and half on the Holloway?
20:35How did he do that?
20:37Cappuccino is doing it all.
20:39Could it be?
20:40Yup.
20:41Kick!
20:42TELL IT'S SIP!
20:43動作!
20:44TELL IT'S SIP!
20:45FLIPPING SIP!
20:46ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
20:47DOUBLE PIN!
20:48TWO?!
20:49THROUGH!
20:50NOT SO
20:50FAST, PETE!
21:04Heads up.
21:06As Cartwheel taking everyone out.
21:08This tag match is crazy.
21:10I love it.
21:12This is why you tune in to evolve every day.
21:15Wait a second.
21:17No way.
21:17Oh, God.
21:21Do I have to reiterate again, 6'8", 265 pounds?
21:26How many times do I have to say it in this match?
21:28I am.
21:29My jaw is on the desk right now.
21:33Unbelievable stuff.
21:34Holloway is going to fly again and connect.
21:38To Cappuccino.
21:41Hits the elbow from the top.
21:48It's Gall and Cartwheel.
21:52Stryoshits bomb he was going for,
21:54but he got caught with some kind of head scissors.
21:58Oh, Crashwheel.
22:03Oh, man.
22:05Adrenaline Drip living up to the name.
22:07Adrenaline everywhere.
22:09It's not a car wheel.
22:11One, two, three.
22:13Here are your winners.
22:19Adrenaline Drip.
22:25New name.
22:27New style.
22:30Same positive attitude.
22:33Adrenaline Drip getting a huge win.
22:36Looking at these four WWE ID prospects getting after it.
22:40The massive and terrifying Sam Holloway with power and incredible agility relentlessly punishing everyone in sight.
22:48But in an instant, the machine was flipped.
22:51And here comes the slow drip.
22:54Adrenaline Drip showing how they got their name.
22:57Wow.
22:58The cohesiveness, the tag team experience of Adrenaline Drip.
23:02And they seal the deal and get the victory.
23:05A huge win for Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel.
23:11Hey, Jordan.
23:12Jordan.
23:14Hey.
23:15Look.
23:15You still looking for a partner tonight against Swipe Right?
23:19Yeah.
23:20Well, now, consider me your Huckleberry.
23:23Bro, because I appreciate that, but are you sure?
23:26I thought you had your whole feel with the tag team thing.
23:29Look.
23:29You're right.
23:31I'm still figuring myself out, but I'm walking on my own path these days.
23:35Just like you.
23:37And for the Vanity Project, well...
23:40They have my attention.
23:41So at least for one night, you don't have to wander all alone.
23:47All right.
23:48Hey, just think about it this way.
23:51You help me, I help you.
23:55Well, you put it like that, okay.
23:57All right, that works.
23:58There you go.
23:59I'll see you in a bit.
23:59I'll see you.
24:03Who knew Brooks Jetson was an old soul?
24:06In any event, the Nomad Jordan Oasis has found his Huckleberry,
24:11as they will take on Swipe Right of the Vanity Project in our main event.
24:16But coming up, Kendall Gray looks to put her Wendy Chew problem aside,
24:20as she has a tough task before her.
24:22She battles the real deal Zeta Steel next on WWE Evolve.
24:27The fuse has been lit on NXT.
24:53Marcus, I completely understand your frustration.
24:56It was Keanu, he almost messed up your debut, and it's unbelievably frustrating.
25:00I got my hand raised, and then Keanu came in, and he ruined it.
25:04Marcus, like I say, I get your frustration,
25:07but Shawn Legacy already has a match with Keanu Carver,
25:09so let's see where we're at after that.
25:12But I want to give you a WWE ID showcase match,
25:15and your opponent will be Bryce Donovan from the Vanity Project.
25:18How's that sound?
25:19That's all I can ask for.
25:21Thank you, Stevie.
25:22Thank you, Marcus.
25:25Hey, Stevie.
25:26Hey, Stevie, where's Jantala at?
25:28Where she at, Stevie?
25:29Yes, I get you're frustrated, but you need to calm down.
25:30Damn right I'm frustrated.
25:32Where she at?
25:32She's not here this week.
25:34Stevie, I need Jantala in the middle of the ring next week.
25:38No sneak attacks, no games, face to face.
25:42I understand.
25:43Okay.
25:43Inside voices.
25:46Inside voices.
25:46Please use your inside voices.
25:49Wow.
25:50Our Evolve Women's Champion is fired up.
25:53She is looking for Jantala and a big serving of revenge.
25:56And if I were Jantala, I wouldn't be rushing back to Evolve.
25:59The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
26:03Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, Kendall Gray.
26:08Well, as you see Kendall Gray headed to the ring, we've now heard from the champ.
26:18Callie Armstrong wants to get her hands on Jantala, Robert Stokes.
26:22Yeah, she sure does for proper reason, but right now we got the boss lady who commands respect, no fear, and is unapologetic, ultra-competitive, and chases perfection.
26:34Kendall Gray, ready for action.
26:38If I were to put out power rankings of everyone in Evolve who has a big future, Kendall Gray, high on that list.
26:47Oh boy.
26:47And her opponent, representing the Xanity Project, Zayda Steele.
26:56P-p-p-p-p-p-parties here.
27:01P-p-p-p-parties here.
27:04And hey, look at it.
27:05Look.
27:06Swipe right, Bryce.
27:08Everyone's going back to the locker room.
27:10Zayda's going to do it all by herself tonight, just like Jackson Drake did it all by himself last week
27:17when he beat Lince Dorado.
27:21Swipe right, of course, getting ready for the big main event here on Evolve
27:27as they take on Jordan Oasis and Brooks Jensen.
27:31Can you do the p-p-p-p-parties here again?
27:33I already did it three times.
27:34When you ask for it, you don't get it.
27:36Look at Zayda go.
27:37And I got to say, earlier, Kendall Gray made a statement.
27:40All right, I heard her say this.
27:41She said, confidence comes from sweat and scars, not makeup and mirrors.
27:46And she's clearly hearing Zayda are opposite, but she's taking a shot at Zayda.
27:50And I like Kendall Gray.
27:51But I don't know.
27:52I just thought that was kind of rude of her to say that.
27:55Because Zayda's more than just makeup and mirrors.
27:57Zayda could go in the ring, as you can see right now.
27:59Listen, I agree with you wholeheartedly.
28:01Zayda can go in the ring.
28:02But would you agree, Rob?
28:03She needs a win.
28:04She's can't miss TV.
28:08She's buzzed.
28:08She's the first WWE ID signee.
28:12I know that.
28:12And you bring it up every time we see her in action.
28:15But it has to turn into Ws.
28:17If you want to be in the title picture and get a shot at Callie Armstrong,
28:20as Zayda's still taken down there by Kendall Gray,
28:23you've got to put together Ws.
28:25Well, this match is just getting started.
28:28And Peter, I don't know.
28:29Vanity Project's been on a roll lately.
28:31I have a very good feeling about tonight.
28:32But again, it's so hard for me because I'm a Kendall Gray fan, too.
28:36She's great.
28:37Everything she's been doing is great.
28:39Winning is not a goal for her.
28:40It's a mindset.
28:41So this is a very, you know.
28:43Stop trying to sound impartial.
28:44No one believes you.
28:46No one actually believes you're impartial.
28:47What are you talking about?
28:48You throw up your Vs every time the Vanity Project comes out.
28:51Everybody throws up their Vs.
28:52You're the only one that does it.
28:54Kendall Gray showing the athleticism cross body.
28:57You know, you've got a question, too.
29:04You look at Kendall Gray as she's running Zayda Steele out of the ring.
29:09Is she fully focused?
29:10Because we know in the past, you know, week or two,
29:12Wendy Chu has kind of been attempting to get in her head.
29:15And why is that, Peter?
29:17Why has Wendy chosen Kendall to be her next whatever you want to call it?
29:21I do not know why she showed up and had her eyes as you see the knees to the face.
29:30Taking out Kendall Gray, who's now finding her way.
29:34I mean, is Wendy just bored?
29:35Does she just move on?
29:36She's done with Kylie Rae, so now she's moved on to Kendall Gray.
29:38Is that just what happens?
29:39It is very possible.
29:41But at the same time, let's not forget Kylie Rae and Kendall Gray were both in
29:44that women's fatal four-way for the Women's Evolved Championship.
29:47Very true.
29:48Very true.
29:48But right now, oh, nasty clothesline by Zayda Steele.
29:51And a pin.
29:54This isn't something Zayda Steele just fell into.
29:56She didn't just start liking wrestling, you know, a year ago.
30:00She's liked this since she was a child.
30:02Bayley and AJ Lee are her inspirations.
30:05Okay, she has wanted this.
30:07She takes this seriously just because she parties on the weekends and the weekdays
30:11doesn't mean that she doesn't, you know, want this more than anybody else.
30:14She's partying right now.
30:15That's the problem.
30:16She's celebrating for herself.
30:17You shouldn't celebrate in the middle of a match against someone as good as Kendall Gray.
30:21Have you ever been in the match?
30:22Do you know what you should do?
30:23I'm a former 24-7 champion.
30:24That wasn't in a ring.
30:26And it's because I wasn't around because believe me, I would have took that thing off you.
30:30Yeah, what do you mean if you were the sheriff?
30:32Zayda Steele in complete control.
30:35Oh, oh, oh.
30:36Stomps to the back of the head of Kendall Gray.
30:38Hey, now, what have you been impressed about with Kendall Gray so far?
30:42Zayda goes for the pin.
30:44What have you been impressed about so far with Kendall Gray's emergence in Evolve?
30:48I mean, every match you see, she's been tearing it up.
30:50She works hard at the PC.
30:52All eyes are on her.
30:53She always puts on a great performance.
30:56I mean, she's quoting her craft constantly.
30:58Losing's not an option.
30:59You got to respect it.
31:00And she goes for a pin right there and only one.
31:03Also, great amateur athletics career for Kendall Gray as well.
31:08Yeah, 100%.
31:10Man, German suplex.
31:14That was a bad landing for Zayda.
31:16And you can see Kendall is nursing that nose, maybe her upper lip,
31:20ever since her face got stomped to the mat by Zayda Steele.
31:26These two are so different, yet their builds, their size are so similar.
31:33Call me crazy, I could picture this being the first chapter
31:37in what is a long run for Kendall Gray and Zayda Steele.
31:41I mean, this isn't a match that I wouldn't want to see again.
31:44This has been great so far.
31:44Zayda Steele sending Kendall Gray in!
31:46The crossbody!
31:47She rolled through!
31:48Nice roll through by Zayda Steele!
31:51And a two count.
31:53Both of these women clearly seeing how important a win here would be!
31:59Kendall Gray not going for the pin, instead telling Zayda Steele to get up!
32:03With me, Zayda Steele!
32:04Overhead belly to belly!
32:06Another suplex from Kendall Gray.
32:09Oh, man, she is getting in Kendall mode right now!
32:12Straps down!
32:15She is feeling it, you're right!
32:18Well, wait, hold on.
32:20The sleepy psychos here again, distracting Kendall Gray!
32:23Zayda goes for the roll-up!
32:24And Kendall kicks out!
32:27And turns it into a pin!
32:29And scores it!
32:34There is your winner, Kendall Gray!
32:40Wow!
32:41After a distraction from Wendy Choo, Kendall Gray finds a way to get it done!
32:47Let's have a look back at some of this action.
32:53Zayda Steele has a very bright future, and she had her moments in this one.
32:57But it was the hyper-focused and battle-tested Kendall Gray who was able to overcome the Wendy Choo distraction from the outside of the ring to score a quick roll-up victory.
33:08Where did Wendy Choo go, by the way?
33:09I don't see Wendy Choo anywhere.
33:13Make some noise for Kendall Gray, y'all!
33:17What is your beef with Wendy Choo, my friend?
33:20Look, Chewy, I don't have an answer to give you.
33:23But what I will tell you, what you see is what you got with Kendall Gray.
33:26And if Wendy Choo has a problem with me, we can handle it in the ring.
33:31I'm scared of you.
33:32Let's check in with Shawn Legacy, y'all.
33:34Thank you!
33:37Keanu Carver, you want to destroy the WWE ID program.
33:43You took out Timothy Thatcher, someone that I look up to.
33:46Someone that has paved the ways for someone like me.
33:49Independent talent with the ambition to go to and make it in the WWE.
33:53I mean, what's so bad about the ID program, Keanu?
33:57You say it's because it costs you from becoming the first ever Evolve champion.
34:02No, I say it makes your path to the top of Evolve much more difficult.
34:09Now look, I get it.
34:10I understand you've been grinding on the gridiron.
34:12But I've been grinding in the ring long before you have put on those pads.
34:16So how about this?
34:16You want to try to destroy the ID program?
34:18Next week, the unstoppable monster, Keanu Carver, tries to destroy Super Shawn Legacy.
34:28Super Shawn Legacy ready to stand up for the WWE ID program, challenging Keanu Carver in a confrontation that is surely must-see.
34:37But from one must-see affair to another, stay tuned for our main event as coming up, the juvenile Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes, known as Swipe Right, battle the newly formed team of Jordan Oasis and Brooks Jensen.
34:51That match is next on Evolve.
35:03An absolutely incredible scene.
35:07This is what World Wrestling Entertainment is all about.
35:16WWE Clash in Paris, Sunday, August 31st.
35:20Tickets on sale now.
35:22Kylie Rae.
35:31She's smiley, she's happy all the time, but she needs to get out of my way.
35:38And I don't care if you're the darling of the independent world.
35:43You've cost me a championship opportunity not once, but twice.
35:47I mean, you took the last spot in the first ever title match.
35:52That should have been mine.
35:54Oh, and let's talk about last week in the triple threat match.
35:57That victory should have been mine.
35:59I mean, you might be okay with coming up short, but the reflection of perfection doesn't accept anything less than success.
36:07Because when I look in the mirror, I see a winner with class, athleticism, charisma.
36:14Honey, I can go all day.
36:16But when you look in the mirror, you see nothing but disappointment, shame, and embarrassment.
36:22So I will be luring myself to move you out of my way in pursuit of the Evolve Women's Championship.
36:34Tension is running high as the reflection of perfection looks to take down Kylie Rae.
36:39But next week, Super Sean Legacy looks to right the wrong done to Timothy Thatcher.
36:44Can Super Sean Legacy avenge Thatcher and give Keanu Carver a taste of his own medicine?
36:48It's Sean Legacy taking on the foreboding Keanu Carver next week on Evolve.
37:04I'm waiting.
37:05Do it.
37:06I'm waiting for you to throw the Vs in the air.
37:08Hold on.
37:09You know what?
37:09I want to film you.
37:10I want to get you on Instagram.
37:11Please do.
37:12Do what you do now.
37:13Throw the Vs up.
37:14It's the Vanity Project.
37:15VP.
37:16VP right here.
37:17Swipe right, bro.
37:19You're not going to give us a party's here?
37:22Party's here.
37:23Good reminder, Peter.
37:24Party's here.
37:26What a way to get ready for this main event with swipe right.
37:32Bryce Jackson Drake with him at ringside with the championship on his shoulder.
37:36Look at these guys.
37:38Star power in the ring right now.
37:41100%.
37:41100%.
37:42I will not disagree.
37:46You got the champ right there.
37:48Jackson Drake.
37:48Bryce Donovan.
37:50And, of course, swipe right.
37:52The most cohesive tag team in all of Evolve.
37:55There he is, the man with the backpack.
38:10Jordan Oasis, the Nomad.
38:13The path has been long and windy.
38:25A windy road for Jordan Oasis as he continues to build here and evolve.
38:31But today he has company in Brooks Jensen.
38:34Robert Stone, what can you tell me about Brooks Jensen?
38:41Well, I can tell you right now, he is making his Evolve debut, and it's a reason for everybody
38:46to get excited.
38:47I never take away in-ring ability, and he's a workhorse.
38:51He's an Ironman.
38:52He loves this business.
38:54He's respected by all the coaches at the Performance Center.
38:56Let me tell you something.
38:58He's a second-generation wrestler.
38:59Father Bull Buchanan has a long history in this industry, and he has taught, he has taught
39:06Brooks a heck of a lot.
39:10As you see, though, that's a lot of manpower in the corner of Swipe Right, as they never
39:19roll alone, the Vanity Project, the most dominant crew in all of Evolve.
39:26The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
39:34Introducing first, representing the Vanity Project, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.
39:42Swipe Right!
39:43And their opponents, the team of Jordan Oasis and Brooks Jensen!
39:54Of course, Brooks Jensen jumping Jackson Drake after his title defense against Lince Dorado.
40:11That's how we got here, Robert Stone.
40:13Yeah, I mean, and what a way to make an impact right away.
40:16What a way to show your face for the first time on Evolve, and why not?
40:19Going right after the champ, Jackson.
40:21But let me tell you something.
40:22I don't know if that's the target you want to choose, because Jackson Drake, I mean, he's
40:26a great champion.
40:27He's talented in the ring.
40:28Is that who Brooks Jensen really wants to eventually, if he earns it, have his first
40:32one-on-one match with?
40:33I don't know!
40:35Well, answer me this.
40:36How challenging will it be for Brooks Jensen and Jordan Oasis?
40:40Two guys trying to find their way together against a tag team as cohesive and who know
40:44each other as well as Swipe Right.
40:45Well, when they talked in the back, the way they formed this team, they said to each other,
40:49this is a you help me, I help you type of thing.
40:52And I don't know what that really means.
40:54But I will say this.
40:55Brooks Jensen has an extended background in tag team wrestling with a former NXT UK tag
41:03team champion.
41:03However, this is their first time teaming together.
41:06This is the first time he's teaming with Jordan Oasis, and you don't just have a five-second
41:11conversation and go into a match and gel well.
41:13That's tough.
41:13And have chemistry.
41:14That's not how it works.
41:15They're in the ring right now with two of the best, not just in Evolve, but in all of
41:19the WWE.
41:19Mark my words.
41:20And we have seen on multiple occasions, Swipe Right take advantage because they know each
41:26other so well.
41:27That is often the advantage they have in these tag matches.
41:30As the Bulldog from Brooks Jensen takes out Brad Baylor, neckbreaker there from Jordan
41:34Oasis.
41:35But Baylor quickly finding a way to Ricky Smokes.
41:38You know, I don't know what Jordan's deal is.
41:39For some reason, he just doesn't like Swipe Right, and it's not really warranted.
41:43I don't know why.
41:44I think anybody disliking Swipe Right is warranted.
41:48Arm drag, takedown.
41:49No, for what?
41:50They keep to themselves.
41:51They keep to themselves.
41:52Yeah.
41:53You see what you want to see, Robert Stone.
41:55I get it.
41:56You enjoy partying with them, and I admit it.
41:58They don't treat you like complete trash.
42:00That you want them to leave comments on your posts on Instagram.
42:04Anytime you're showing off about something free that you got from someone, there's Ricky
42:08Smokes commenting.
42:10Chopped from Jordan Oasis.
42:11Nasty!
42:12To the aforementioned Ricky Smokes.
42:14Another one.
42:18Wow.
42:20Oh, and Brad Baylor taken to the corner by Brooks Jensen.
42:23Oh, man.
42:25Oh.
42:27Oh.
42:28Now they're going to be all marked up, and they can't go shirtless this weekend at their
42:32after party.
42:34Oh, man.
42:34Can you imagine what they're going to say at the country club when Swipe Right shows
42:38up with red splotches all over them?
42:42Jordan Oasis.
42:44Looking to pin.
42:45Ricky Smokes.
42:46Smokes quick to kick out.
42:48I mean, I am impressed so far with what they've been doing.
42:51For never being in a ring together before Brooks and Jordan, it seems to be working.
42:55Out.
42:59Rig awareness there by Swipe Right.
43:01They're helping each other.
43:01See, that was tag team smarts right there.
43:04That's what it's called.
43:05They are so good at that.
43:06There's no question about it.
43:07When it comes to being crafty.
43:09Oh.
43:11Nasty.
43:11Distraction.
43:12Leading to a kick.
43:14Jordan Oasis in trouble.
43:15More tag action next, right here on Evolve.
43:18WrestleMania 41 was the most successful WrestleMania in history.
43:29We shattered every record from attendance to viewership.
43:32So we're running it back to the sports and entertainment capital of the world.
43:37It's time to double down, Las Vegas.
43:49WrestleMania returns in 2026.
43:52Are you ready?
43:55You can't stop this.
43:58You can't stop this.
44:02Now get me off of this thing.
44:07We are back.
44:09Oof.
44:09On Evolve.
44:11Every Wednesday night here on Tubi.
44:13Peter Rosenberg.
44:14Robert Stone.
44:14Brad Baylor going to pin.
44:16Jordan Oasis.
44:17And Oasis will kick out at two.
44:18And that's right.
44:21Swipe Right in action tonight.
44:23They are putting on an outstanding performance right now.
44:29Oh, just like they've been putting on outstanding performances on NXT.
44:34Repping Evolve on NXT.
44:38And let's not forget how busy they are.
44:40They're killing it every weekend on the Independence Day.
44:42Wrestling all over the country in the WWE ID program.
44:46These guys are busy.
44:47Well, they got their hands full.
44:48Jordan Oasis goes to pin Brad Baylor.
44:50Jordan Oasis and Brooks Jensen.
44:51Trying to take down the young, brash, cocky Swipe Right.
44:56Who, of course, have the champ, Jackson Drake, in their corner.
44:59Along with Bryce Donovan.
45:01Long Island zone.
45:03There's a tag to Ricky Smokes from Brad Baylor.
45:06This is what they're so good at.
45:07It is tag team wrestling.
45:10And remember, remember the money that these guys got.
45:14Pinfall.
45:15No matter how they got it, we can't deny that they are rich.
45:17And when you are rich, you can do things that other people can't do.
45:20They can hire the best personal trainers.
45:22The best chefs so they can eat properly.
45:24The best wrestling coaches so they can learn wrestling techniques.
45:27I mean, they're eating sizzling steak while these other two are eating cans of tuna.
45:31There's a difference, Peter.
45:32Eat from Ricky Smokes.
45:33Let me read between the lines.
45:34This is a pinfall and a two count.
45:36I think what you're saying is because their parents are rich.
45:39Because you said regardless of how they.
45:41However, they are rich, they are rich.
45:43And it works to their advantage.
45:44But the however is their parents, right?
45:47These two guys are working out in beautiful gyms.
45:50Brooks, he's probably working out in a local YMCA.
45:53That's all I'm saying.
45:55You may be right.
45:55But here's the part where I'll be impressed by Swipe Right.
45:58Some people say it's hard to wake up at five in the morning when you're sleeping in satin sheets.
46:02Not for these guys.
46:03They do the work.
46:04I got to admit it.
46:05I don't always love what they do, but they do the work.
46:09Brad Baylor, who's in the ring right now, his goal is to become the youngest world champion of all time.
46:14He wants to supplant Randy Orton.
46:16That is his goal.
46:18And I think it could happen.
46:20Jordan Oasis looking to get the tag to Brooks Jensen.
46:24He's getting closer.
46:27And again, just smart tag team wrestling.
46:30Brad Baylor finding a way.
46:33Yikes!
46:33Yes, to keep Oasis away, but it may be too late.
46:36Here comes Ricky Smokes.
46:37And look what Smokes does.
46:38He knocks Brooks right off.
46:40Exactly.
46:40Takes out Brooks Jensen.
46:41Then goes back to work, but a back body drop.
46:44And again, quick tag.
46:46And look, Jensen nowhere to be found.
46:48He's trying to make a tag.
46:49This is where the teamwork is not flowing.
46:52But it is flowing for Swipe Right.
46:55Drake hits the kick.
46:57Baylor hits the pin.
46:58And Oasis kicks out at two and a half.
47:00I think one of the things that makes them so irritating, Robert, is that not only they're
47:07obnoxious and brash, but they're very good in the ring.
47:10They sure are.
47:11And you know, we're talking about this tag team of Jordan Oasis and Brooks Jensen.
47:15Let's think of the last time we did see Brooks.
47:17I said we haven't seen him in a few weeks.
47:18The last time we saw him was on NXT, and he was getting kicked out of the culling.
47:22If they didn't want a team with him, how is his team with Jordan Oasis going to work?
47:27I hear what you're saying, but you never know.
47:31Sometimes certain partnerships just work out as Ricky Smokes puts right hands in on Jordan Oasis.
47:38He's busy talking to the camera right now, though.
47:41Man.
47:42Gave Oasis too long, and now Oasis connects with that chop.
47:46Oh, man.
47:48Eye rake, and Ricky Smokes pushes Oasis into the corner and wisely makes the tag to Brad
47:55Baylor.
47:56Hey, rules are rules.
47:57The referee does say you do get five seconds.
48:00She was counting.
48:01Utilize them.
48:02Why not?
48:03Where do you think Brooks Jensen's head is at right now at this point, Rob?
48:07I tell you right now.
48:07I mean, obviously, he's got his eye on the Evolve Championship, hence why he made a mark
48:13last week and attacked Jackson Drake, but what he really wants at this moment is to get
48:18in this tag match.
48:19Look at him.
48:20Look at him.
48:20He's shaking on that apron.
48:21He wants in.
48:22No, he desperately wants to get in, but again, the smart tag team wrestling of Brad Baylor
48:27and Ricky Smokes.
48:30Brad Baylor trying to grind this thing out.
48:33Slow down Jordan Oasis, who finds a way.
48:37And drops Brad Baylor.
48:40Could it be enough?
48:42Can Jordan Oasis use this moment to get to his corner?
48:47And tag Brooks Jensen.
48:49What is Jordan doing?
48:50He's not used to this tag team wrestling, but you got to tag blackout cannonball.
48:54He avoids the tag, goes for the blackout cannonball instead.
48:58I don't think that was a good decision.
48:59Well, apparently you're right, because he doesn't have enough gas to get the pin on Brad
49:03Baylor.
49:03I think he forgot he was in a tag match, to be honest with you.
49:06Well, Brooks Jensen's had enough.
49:07He's taking out Ricky Smokes.
49:11And now Brooks Jensen is grabbing onto Jordan Oasis and making the tag himself.
49:15Hands himself in.
49:16Oh, he's wanting it.
49:19Oh.
49:19Punch after punch to Brad Baylor.
49:21Now he's got some for Ricky Smokes.
49:23A throwback to Brad Armstrong.
49:26Buzz Sawyer.
49:27Barry Windham.
49:28His idols.
49:28Beautiful power slam there for Brooks Jensen.
49:32Oh, my God.
49:36He almost took Ricky Smokes' head off.
49:38This is a two-on-one.
49:42And Brooks Jensen is loving it.
49:45It's like he opted for a handicap match.
49:48And now he's got words for the champ.
49:53You may not want to think about Jackson Drake at this moment if you're Brooks Jensen.
49:56And now he tags again.
49:58Is Jordan even ready to get back in the ring?
50:03What the hell is that?
50:07He said he wants that title.
50:09Forget you to Jordan Oasis.
50:11I don't think Stevie Turner is going to give him a title shot when he walks out on a tag match.
50:18Super Swipe!
50:21Oh, that's going to do it.
50:22Oasis wasn't even ready to be back in the ring.
50:26And Swipe Right gets the win.
50:29Here are your winners.
50:31Swipe Right!
50:36Well, that is not what I expected.
50:39Thought there was some cohesiveness early on.
50:44But Brooks Jensen had enough.
50:46He walks out.
50:47And let's take a look back.
50:48Jordan Oasis was searching for a tag team partner.
50:50Thought he found one in Brooks Jensen.
50:52But think again.
50:53As you see here.
50:58Jensen leaves Oasis behind.
51:01Saying something to the effect of he wants that title.
51:05Forget you.
51:06And Swipe Right gets the win.
51:12Swipe Right stands tall.
51:14Another victory.
51:15As the champ looks on.
51:17movies face many times.
51:18I'll see you next time.
51:18I'll see you next time.
51:19As the teamă‚Ź caring.
51:36Bye.
