EVOLVE is a dynamic concept that embodies growth, transformation, and adaptation. It signifies the process of gradual development, whether in nature, technology, or personal progress. In biology, EVOLVE refers to the evolutionary changes organisms undergo over generations to better adapt to their environments. In a broader sense, it represents the journey of improvement and innovation, as ideas, systems, or individuals refine themselves over time. From the evolution of species to the advancement of industries, EVOLVE captures the essence of continuous change and the pursuit of excellence. It is a testament to resilience and the ability to thrive amidst challenges.

00:00Then, now, forever.
00:30Together.
00:39Party's here, look who it is, Swipe Right.
00:43New bonds have been forming on WWE Evolve.
00:49What gigantic individual is that?
00:51He appears to be backing up Swipe Right and Zeta.
00:54He's not with you, he's with us.
00:57We got his back, same way he has ours.
01:01And some superstars have witnessed enough.
01:07What's this going on, huh?
01:09Legacy and Thatcher staring at which seems like some sort of vanity project.
01:14Tonight, these conflicts will be settled in the WWE Evolve ring,
01:19when the defiant Jackson Drake takes on Super Shawn Legacy,
01:23and the rugged Timothy Thatcher faces the mysterious Bryce Donovan.
01:28It all goes down tonight.
01:30Fresh off of WrestleMania weekend.
01:58Welcome to WWE Evolve on TV, Peter Rosenberg, joined by Robert Stone.
02:05This is where pro wrestling evolves.
02:08Robert Stone, we have an incredible night tonight.
02:11Of course, Stevie Turner set us up with a couple of great matches.
02:16Jackson Drake versus Super Shawn Legacy.
02:20High power, high intensity, high flying, and that's not all.
02:23We also have Timothy Thatcher against this man, this enigma, Bryce Donovan.
02:30That's also going down.
02:32Ladies and gentlemen,
02:41I am so excited for the night we have ahead.
02:46And to make things more exciting,
02:48I am on the verge of finalizing a huge announcement tonight.
02:53Yeah, party's here.
03:02The party is here.
03:04Now this is how you kick off Evolve after WrestleMania.
03:07Why are Swipe Bright and Zeta Steel and Jackson Drake?
03:13As you see Draco Knox watching in confusion from the VIP section.
03:17The most obnoxious creeps.
03:19Just let it happen, Peter, just let it happen.
03:23This is not how I wanted my post-WrestleMania week to go, the Vanity Project.
03:29And you see, Stevie, I relate.
03:32Stevie, I feel the same way.
03:34You would.
03:34Why does Brad Baylor have a mic in his hand right now?
03:37Please, please, please just do me a favor.
03:43Take a good long look at the five future superstars in this ring right now.
03:48Look who's right next to me.
03:55You suck, you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck.
04:03Right next to me, you got the real deal Zeta Steel.
04:07Swipe back, swipe back, swipe back, swipe back.
04:12You know what, that's quite ironic considering all your girlfriends swiped right on us.
04:18Look at Zeta, guys, look at Zeta.
04:27But that thought going through your heads right now, the answer's no, you cannot have her.
04:34My boy, Jackson Drake, my boy, AKA, the Carolina Reaper, Heartbreak Drake.
04:48But just for the record, just for the record,
04:51if you go to any frat party in North Carolina, kids known as the wildcard.
04:57Did you really think I forgot every lady's dream team?
05:08Ricky and I, Ricky and I, swipe.
05:13Okay, okay, you guys have an issue with that.
05:25You got a problem, you got an issue with that.
05:26That's fun, that's honestly cool.
05:29Cuz I got my big man, Bryce Donovan, my heavy, sitting right here behind me.
05:35Please, please, please, believe me when I tell you,
05:39no one in Evolve wants to mess with Bryce, no one, no one does.
05:42Commentary, all the social media, pretty much everyone here,
05:48they wanna call us the Vanity Project.
05:50Perfect, perfect.
05:55I'll take it, cuz quite frankly, that's exactly what we are.
05:59Swipe left, swipe left, swipe left, swipe left, swipe left, swipe left, swipe left.
06:10You guys can go on and on, say swipe left, do whatever you want.
06:15But all I ask you guys, and I really mean it, please, just remember this moment.
06:21Remember it while we're here.
06:23Because the Vanity Project will take over Evolve.
06:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:35This Vanity Project doesn't call the shots around here.
06:39I am the law, I am the Prime Minister of Evolve, if you will.
06:45So Jackson Drake, seeing as you're already out here,
06:50how about you have your match right now against Shawn Legacy?
06:55Your opening contest is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring.
07:05From Augusta, Georgia, weighing 210 pounds, Shawn Legacy.
07:11Of course, both of these men were a part of the first episode of WWE Evolve,
07:20that six-man matchup.
07:21Now we see it one-on-one tonight.
07:24Super Shawn Legacy and Jackson Drake, Robert Stone.
07:28This is what I'm talking about to kick off WWE Evolve.
07:32Yeah, well, Shawn got the pin in the first ever Evolve main event,
07:35but Jackson Drake and that six-man tag, he almost had him beat.
07:38I don't know if you remember that, but he almost had him beat.
07:40Well, almost hand grenades.
07:43What's the line again?
07:45I don't know, are you talking about hockey?
07:46Close is only good.
07:48I don't watch sports.
07:48Don't worry about it.
07:49Anyways, here we go, Super Shawn Legacy.
07:51Man, a physical specimen, this guy.
07:54Strong, athletic, high fly, he does it all.
07:56Is it me or is Stevie Turner already pushing her power around,
08:00just making matches whenever she wants?
08:02Why can't she do that?
08:03I know she's the GM, but was Jackson Drake,
08:05was Heartbreak Drake ready for that?
08:08Well, I don't think it's her job to clear with her talent.
08:13Is she really in charge?
08:14Yes.
08:15So this is, is it a nightmare that I've had for the past few weeks?
08:18No, no, this is not a nightmare.
08:20She is really in charge, and she gave us a couple of great matchups tonight.
08:24As you see the slam from Jackson Drake in the pin, and just two.
08:30I wouldn't be so insubordinate if I were you over there, Robert Stone.
08:34Well, listen, I will say this.
08:35You can't have a better way to kick things off with in-ring competition this week.
08:40I mean, the Vanity Project coming to the ring, Heartbreak Drake in the ring.
08:46And these two guys are the future of the WWE.
08:49And a pinfall and a two count for Super Shawn Legacy.
08:52Your boy Heartbreak Drake needs to stop celebrating and pay attention.
08:55He finds himself in a bad way.
08:57And even worse right now, that kick to the back from Super Shawn Legacy.
09:01Who I bet is gonna fly, and that's what he does.
09:04Who do you think you are?
09:07I mentioned it, and he is that dude.
09:09Yeah, he is.
09:10He is.
09:11Look, that was beautiful.
09:12What am I gonna say?
09:12That was beautiful.
09:13A little risky, a little cocky, but beautiful.
09:16I mean, Super Shawn Legacy is the top.
09:18What is Zeta Steele doing?
09:19And what is Brad Baylor doing?
09:21What is Shawn doing?
09:23He's eating meat courtesy of Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor and Vanity Project.
09:29Do what we do.
09:29You mess with me.
09:31Hold on.
09:32Wait.
09:33For real?
09:34See, that's what I'm talking about.
09:37The referee has banished.
09:40As you see Draco Knox celebrating and waving goodbye.
09:44The referee has banned Vanity Project from ringside as well he should.
09:52The crowd chanting, Draco Knox celebrating, Jackson Drake's on his own.
09:57It's WWE Evolve, more next.
10:22Welcome back to WWE Evolve on Tubi.
10:41Jackson Drake, Super Shawn Legacy.
10:43This is a great matchup between one member, Jackson Drake, of the Vanity Project.
10:49I gotta tell you, I'm sort of disgusted.
10:51I feel like I accidentally named the Vanity Project when I referred to them as that a while back.
10:57You, like you could come up with something so great, so clever.
11:00I came up with the Vanity Project.
11:02No, no, I, you know what?
11:03Peter, go back and listen.
11:05I said Vanity Project before you.
11:07You would never, never.
11:09Watch out, Jackson Drake eating an elbow there from Shawn Legacy.
11:12You know what?
11:12If you're proud of it.
11:13Oh, there you go.
11:14More of the high flying maneuvers from Super Shawn Legacy.
11:19Awesome stuff early on from Super Shawn Legacy.
11:22And look, as you get a close up right here, you can see that Shawn has a black eye.
11:25He got that this week from training.
11:27So believe me, believe me, he is struggling a little bit.
11:31I don't know if he's ever had a black eye, but if he got knocked silly in that,
11:34he is struggling a little bit seeing out of that eye.
11:37And that later in this match might come into play.
11:39I'm sure I haven't had as many black eyes as you've had over the years, that's for sure.
11:43Look, let me say this.
11:45I have watched some pre-evolved Jackson Drake footage, and man, let me tell you.
11:50What Swipe Right has done for him since he joined the Vanity Project, he's looking better.
11:55He's wrestling better.
11:56He is just on another level.
11:57He's gonna turn this around, I'm telling you.
11:59Well, right now, yeah, he better find some of those things you're talking about right now.
12:02He's on the wrong end of it with Super Shawn Legacy.
12:05During our opening contest here on WWE Evolve.
12:09Shawn Legacy is like every other superhero, okay?
12:12He's overdramatic.
12:13All right, what he really needs to do, he needs to see a shrink.
12:16He can't be a superhero without having issues.
12:19Ooh, missile drop kick from Shawn Legacy.
12:21Two, two and a half there.
12:24Now, wait, that's what you're recommending for Super Shawn Legacy is therapy.
12:28Let's take a look back.
12:29Look at that.
12:30I'll tell you what he doesn't need.
12:31He doesn't need any work with the high flying maneuvers.
12:36He's got that down just well.
12:37Something you certainly did not know about during your illustrious career.
12:41Well, I can high fly a little bit, but I will say what a battle this is.
12:44And it's not their first time in the ring together.
12:46It will not be their last.
12:47You can see their shots trying to get him up for shambles.
12:50But look, look, Jackson working on the eye.
12:53I just said it.
12:55You're right, he's going right back to work on that eye.
12:58He's got him up in the shambles.
12:59Is he gonna get it?
13:00Jackson Drake hanging on to that top rope for dear life.
13:03A good decision indeed.
13:05Ring awareness.
13:06He knows where he is.
13:08Ducks under a punch.
13:10That is smart wrestling from Jackson Drake.
13:13Finding a way to stay alive in this match.
13:17By the way, I've been watching you on social media interact with Vanity Project.
13:20It's embarrassing.
13:21What do you mean it's embarrassing?
13:23And he hit him with the lethal ejection.
13:25One, two.
13:26What do you mean embarrassing?
13:29It's just to see you.
13:30These kids are half your age.
13:31You want to be down with them so bad.
13:33What a down.
13:34What is the age thing?
13:35What does age matter in friendship?
13:37Look, we have a lot in common.
13:39You don't have anything in common.
13:41You used to be a professional wrestler.
13:43They are emerging professional wrestlers.
13:46Besides that, you have nothing in common.
13:48They sit under my tree of knowledge, as should you, Peter.
13:52All right, and now hold on.
13:54The knee being exposed from Jackson Drake.
13:57You see him bring down his knee pad.
13:59Oh, he was going for the unaliving.
14:01Oh, big right hand, uppercut.
14:04And now a big right in return.
14:06Oh, just as Jackson Drake was going for the eye.
14:10And he turned Super Strong Legacy inside out with that clothesline.
14:15This is his beginning.
14:16His greatness is inevitable, man.
14:21His greatness is inevitable.
14:24Yeah.
14:25Do they pay you?
14:26Honestly, do they slip you a little extra money on the side?
14:29Super Strong Legacy was talented also.
14:32But you didn't say his greatness was inevitable.
14:34I mean, head to head here.
14:37Eye to eye almost, which isn't a good thing for Shawn.
14:40They're just throwing heavy hands right now.
14:42Bolos, big rights, big, big elbow there.
14:46It's evolved, baby.
14:48I'm loving this action early.
14:50We just caught him with Arada just out of nowhere.
14:53And now we hit the unaliving right to the eye.
14:56Right to that wounded eye.
14:58Now, what a break Super Strong Legacy catches there.
15:01One.
15:01Cuz he ends up, you're right, getting hit square in the eye.
15:04But he rolls under the bottom rope and now gets a minute to catch his breath.
15:08Why isn't your boy Jackson Drake getting out there and throwing him right back in the ring?
15:11The count out is a win also.
15:13He might not be able to get back in the ring, Peter.
15:15He's a winner.
15:16Our crowd live as always here on Evolve and Super Strong Legacy is back in and back on top of the pin.
15:23One, two.
15:24Two and three quarters.
15:28Jackson Drake cutting it very close but he is still alive.
15:31Shawn Legacy now back in this match.
15:34This is a hell of an opening contest, fresh out of WrestleMania weekend.
15:38On Tubi, Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone, psyched to be here with you on a Wednesday.
15:43What is Super Strong Legacy looking for?
15:48Jackson Drake avoiding Shawn Legacy and now
15:53again going back to work on that face and now the chest.
15:56Don't blink because if you do you're going to miss something.
15:59Right now I don't know if Shawn can blink but.
16:03Tell you what, both of these athletes as Shawn Legacy misses in the corner.
16:07Watch out.
16:09Rewind Rana.
16:11There is a lot of high risk stuff going on.
16:13And a pin.
16:14One, two, Jackson Drake does not score the pinfall.
16:19I thought that was it for Shawn Legacy.
16:22Describe what we saw here, Rob.
16:23How impressive by Heartbreak Drake with the Rewind Rana right on Shawn Legacy.
16:29Man, that Rewind Rana is something.
16:31This is why you gotta tune in to evolve every single Wednesday.
16:35Innovation from these young talents.
16:38Look at him.
16:38You see what he's doing?
16:39You see what he's doing?
16:40Thumb right in the eye.
16:41Oh, my God.
16:42Hey, why not?
16:46As Draco Knox watches from the VIP section,
16:49one of the many people who have issues with the vanity project, Draco Knox.
16:53He's not feeling what the vanity project has been putting down.
16:57Not feeling the aura, if you will.
16:59And hold on now.
17:00Super Shawn Legacy with the kick there to Jackson Drake.
17:02And another.
17:04Building his way back up here.
17:08But eats a kick for his troubles.
17:10It is just non-stop going for the lethal injection again.
17:13Hold on, instead he's caught.
17:14Got him and shambles.
17:15That's gotta be it.
17:18That's gotta be it.
17:20Two, three.
17:23Here's your winner, Shawn Legacy.
17:31Wow, you talked about the bruised eye.
17:34He overcame it, Robert Stone.
17:37And Super Shawn Legacy showing you why he's got the nickname.
17:41There he is, the high flying over the top.
17:47And here you saw the lethal injection by Heartbreak Drake.
17:51But it was not enough.
17:52A two count only left the door open for this.
17:57Shawn Legacy still not quite there, but he kept working, kept working.
18:02Until he finally finished him off with the shambles.
18:04Beautiful.
18:05One, two, three.
18:07One, two, one.
18:09You think this is gonna stop me?
18:12No.
18:14WWE ID is all about making champions.
18:18Hey, Stevie, where's the title?
18:21Because as my turn to show, WWE EVO fans, my legacy will always be Boomer.
18:30Hey, Wendy, let's go see, let's go see, let's go see, let's go see, let's go see, let's go see.
18:37Hi, Wendy Chew.
18:39Okay, I just wanted to let you know, Wendy, that I am no stranger to darkness, okay?
18:45I've had to overcome every obstacle that life has thrown my way, in and out of the ring.
18:52Now, I will admit that the darkness that I felt under your blanket was a little different, different, okay?
18:59And I don't know who you are, or what happened to you, but Wendy, I will not let that darkness consume me, okay?
19:08I know I can overcome you, and I am not afraid to face you again.
19:14Actually, how about next week?
19:19Kylie Rae is ready for Wendy Chew, and I'll tell you what, I am ready to see Harlem Lewis and Keanu Carver standing right next to each other.
19:28It's coming up next, a WWE Evolve Face-Off.
19:46Let's be real.
19:48You and I both know that this tournament is coming down to us.
19:52And I promise you, I'm not losing.
19:55I'm gonna be the first person to leave that building with the Evolve Championship around my waist.
20:02It sound good, but it's all empty promises.
20:06I beat the brace off, Luca.
20:08I smash Trill.
20:11And I punish that boy, Gale.
20:13You beat Trill, guess what, I beat Trill.
20:19You beat Luca, I beat Joe Coffee, but you know what you haven't done, Keanu?
20:24You haven't beat me, so it sounds like you the only person standing in my way.
20:29I guess so.
20:29Whoa, boys, boys.
20:32You wanna go at it, take shots at each other, overlook the rest of the field, that's fine.
20:37But I'm putting you and you in a match together next week.
20:41Yeah, that sounds good, man.
20:42I do want that.
20:43That sounds great to me.
20:44As a tag team.
20:46Yeah.
20:47It'll be Keanu Carver, Harlem Lewis taking on Swipe.
20:50Right.
20:51I hope you know you just signed them, boys, death form.
20:55And if you get in my way, you gonna be next.
21:00Not what I expected to come from that WWE Evolve face-off.
21:04We'll see Keanu and Harlem in tag action together.
21:07Next week.
21:08The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
21:11And you're gonna see first from San Diego, California, Zara Zacher.
21:15Zara Zacher has been showing and proving in these early days of WWE Evolve episode.
21:25What have you seen so far?
21:26Her grind never stops.
21:27Her hunger is always there, waiting to be fed by the next challenge.
21:31But I mean, her friendship with Kylie Rae, you know how I feel about that.
21:35Are you worried about having friends?
21:37Are you worried about competition?
21:39I love that you don't believe one could have a career and be professional.
21:43It takes your mind off things.
21:44It takes your mind off things.
21:48And her opponent.
21:49Coming to the ring by Layla Diggs from Atlanta, Georgia, Aria Bennett.
21:57Now we have Aria Bennett with Layla Diggs.
22:02She's from Allentown, Pennsylvania, very athletic.
22:06A great gymnast in her day.
22:08Was a member of the USA Gymnastics First Team All-American.
22:13Signed with WWE back in 2023.
22:18Really talented, Aria Bennett.
22:19And speaking of friendship, she has four modes with Layla Diggs.
22:22And again, are we worried about having friends or are we worried about win a match?
22:26Oh, no.
22:26I wonder if she could possibly handle both having a friend and going to work.
22:30You can have friends outside of the industry, but when it comes to in-ring competition,
22:34you don't need someone there at ringside, and believe me, they're not.
22:37Nobody's really friends at professional wrestling.
22:39Everybody's trying to steal each other's spot.
22:41I promise you that.
22:42You know, I think I would take it as law from you more if I believed you actually had friends.
22:48You don't need them.
22:49That's why I'm successful, Peter.
22:51You don't need them.
22:52Proof, the proof's in the pudding.
22:52One, an early pinfall from Zarazaka trying to get it done early.
22:55Going for another one as well.
22:58Gonna have to put in some more work on Aria, I think.
23:00No, here's another pin.
23:01And Aria reversing things into a pin.
23:06Woo, this is a pin fest and another at a two count.
23:09Okay, all right, all right.
23:13And a little sign of mutual respect early on.
23:25I'm sure that makes you sick.
23:26Love to see it, more friendship, why?
23:28Now, who wants to win matches?
23:30Let's congratulate each other on how great our pin sequence was.
23:33I think they're just saying, let's have a respectful, good competition.
23:38Well, look, here's what I'll say about Aria and Layla, okay?
23:41They have no drama, no negativity, and they have goals and motivation, and
23:44they are working together to make that happen.
23:46That was beautiful.
23:46She's a great athlete, there's no question about that.
23:49Aria Bennett, oof, arm drag takeover there, and a big knee to that.
23:54Puts her knee right on the head of Zara Zacher.
23:56She moves through the ring with precision and grace of someone who has mastered every
24:00possible angle.
24:01I'm telling you, she's someone straight out of the Matrix.
24:05Zara, of course, a big part of our WWE ID program, and has found her way here.
24:12And now, Zara Zacher has found her way under the foot of Aria Bennett.
24:17She's got the arm locked in and going, looks like for another pin.
24:23One, two, gonna have to hook the leg on Zara Zacher, I think.
24:27You know, what a great example this is of what Evolve brings to the table.
24:30You have WWE ID talent, Zara, against Aria straight out of the WWE Performance Center.
24:37Two different worlds colliding in the ring right now on a Wednesday night.
24:41I love it.
24:42That is exactly what makes it special, Rob.
24:43You're completely on point with that.
24:45As you see, Zara Zacher showing what she could do.
24:48But by the way, Aria Bennett with a whole life outside of wrestling,
24:52she's put together, she's been a stunt coordinator, she's trained celebrities,
24:59she's done it all.
25:03The list goes on and on, and you can see that in her performances, uh-oh, in the ring.
25:10But hey, don't count Zara out either, I mean, she's an underdog.
25:12She fights with heart, and underdogs rise when others doubt.
25:16And maybe that's to her advantage.
25:18Maybe some people take her lightly.
25:20Maybe Aria's taking her lightly.
25:23And don't forget, Zara, of course, has been learning from Kylie Rae,
25:26a veteran of the scene.
25:27They've developed a friendship.
25:29Again, I know you're- Yeah, we know.
25:30We know the friendship.
25:30We know you're against friendships.
25:32But Zara Zacher is clearly learning from Kylie Rae's great experience all over the indie
25:37scene.
25:37High risk!
25:38Boom!
25:40But Zara Zacher, you can't learn that.
25:42You just gotta feel that pain as Aria goes for the pin.
25:44One, two, and another kick out for Zara Zacher.
25:47For a second there, she was talking to the crowd, and she hesitated to go right for
25:51that pinfall.
25:52That could be a rookie mistake.
25:53Well, again, everybody here is learning.
25:56And that is the case as the crowd, very excited.
25:59It's Seguri there from Aria Bennett.
26:00Neckbreaker right there as well, and another pinfall.
26:06She hooks the leg too.
26:09Not quite, but Zara Zacher now has found herself in a bad way, Robert Stone.
26:13She's gotta figure it out.
26:14She believed she could, so she did, but will she?
26:17Every matchup here in these early days have evolved so important in establishing where
26:21you are in the pecking order of your division.
26:26Control-Z, out of nowhere!
26:29My goodness, Zara Zacher, Control-Z, two, three.
26:36Here's your winner, Zara Zacher!
26:40Big, big win for Zara Zacher, disappointed Aria Bennett and Layla Diggs, congrats.
26:48Let's take a look back, Rob.
26:50Big Hurricanrana off the top by Aria Bennett.
26:53High-risk maneuver.
26:54And then, look at this, Control-Z out of nowhere!
26:59My goodness, unbelievable win for Zara Zacher.
27:05Make some noise for my girl Zara!
27:11Back in the winning circle, I like that.
27:14Pretty damn impressive, homie.
27:16You still feel like the underdog out here?
27:17Dude, I always feel like the underdog.
27:19Okay.
27:20You see what I did in there?
27:21I saw that.
27:22Y'all saw that?
27:24Hey.
27:28Yo.
27:32Hey, yo, you did that, bro?
27:33No, no, no, no, I did not.
27:34What's going on?
27:37Hey, what's up, what's up?
27:41Yo, that's not for me, that's for you.
27:44Go ahead.
27:45No, no, no, no, it's all you, that's all you, that's all you, bro.
27:50Oh, boy.
27:52Yeah.
27:53I wrote it.
27:53Get that, get that.
27:56I bet I know who this is from.
27:57Kylie, I accept.
28:04It's all going down next week.
28:14Obviously, Wendy Chiu accepting the challenge from Kylie Rae.
28:17Can she overcome the darkness?
28:19We'll see.
28:20Look who's back, look who's party's back, party's back.
28:25All right.
28:27Are you all right?
28:28Are you all right?
28:29Are you all right?
28:30VIP right where they belong.
28:32You guys got kicked out ringside.
28:34What are you doing here?
28:35What are you doing here?
28:36Hold on, hold on, hold on.
28:43I actually, I actually just got off the phone with my mom and dad's lawyer.
28:56And they said that although we got kicked out of ringside,
29:00we have every right to be in the VIP section.
29:05Man, that lawyer comes in handy.
29:07You love this.
29:08That's the thing.
29:09That's the thing about having daddy's lawyer on retainer, I guess.
29:13I wonder if it was Luca Crucifino.
29:15Absolutely not.
29:16All right, Swipe Right is back apparently.
29:18But fortunately, we also have this.
29:21Later tonight, Timothy Thatcher and Bryce Donovan right here on WWE Evolve.
29:33Welcome back to WWE Evolve.
29:39There she is, Carly Bright.
29:41I think she's looking for Kendall Gray.
29:43That would be my guess.
29:43And she found her.
29:45The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
29:48Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Kendall Gray,
29:52from Kenosha, Wisconsin, Carly Bright.
29:55I literally, my mood gets better when I see Carly Bright on my wrestling program.
30:02Yeah, she's a resident ray of sunshine.
30:03She's got the girl next door vibes as where
30:06her friend Kendall is kind of like the girl four houses down vibes.
30:10If you're picking up, what am I now?
30:13They both bring something awesome to the table.
30:15And as you can see, look, hey, the fist bump, the camaraderie,
30:18the team is building.
30:20Kendall and Carly, I'm feeling this.
30:22And her opponent from Neville's Backbone, Texas, Kalix.
30:33All right.
30:34I have two words for you, freak show.
30:37Okay, so we already know.
30:38We already got one Wendy Chew, and she is scary, but Kalix is weird.
30:43I don't know if it's, I'm scared of her, but I'm definitely weirded out.
30:46I have an odd feeling in my gut right now.
30:48I didn't know that your ex was wrestling with you.
30:50Yeah, no, no.
30:52Don't go there, Peter, please, don't go.
30:53Because, no.
30:54Come on.
30:55Look, Swipe Right is clearly freaked out.
30:57As they should be.
30:58Zayda Steele disinterested.
31:01This Kalix, man.
31:02They want Kalix to swipe left.
31:04Carly Bright, Carly Bright, Carly Bright.
31:07It is WWE Evolve on Tubi.
31:10It's Carly Bright, it's Kalix.
31:11I'm Peter Rosenberg, my guy Robert Stone, former in-ring talent,
31:16now the assistant to Ava on NXT.
31:20And we're so blessed to have you every week right here at Ringside.
31:22I certainly am.
31:23Love having you.
31:24A lot of power, a lot of decisions I can make.
31:27Let me tell you something, I went up to Kalix earlier today to try and talk to her,
31:31try and get some information from her.
31:34And all she did was write on a piece of paper that she enjoys giving her
31:37opponents mental and physical pain.
31:39She wouldn't speak.
31:41I was going to say, she wrote that down on paper.
31:42She wrote it.
31:43She actually had a nice handwriting.
31:44I was going to ask.
31:44It was good handwriting?
31:45Yeah, which was weirder.
31:47So, ooh, she stomps the hand of Carly Bright.
31:52I mean, you could just tell she is a powerful woman.
31:55She's a woman scorned and there's something about that mask.
31:57It's almost like it has a life of its own.
32:00I don't know.
32:02I'm telling you, I think she was scorned by you.
32:04I think this is your high school sweetheart.
32:05Oh, clothesline.
32:12Well, look, Carly can take a clothesline.
32:14She's very flexible.
32:15She told me that she could dislocate her own shoulders.
32:18Really?
32:18It's a fact.
32:19She told me she could dislocate her own shoulders.
32:21It's a thing.
32:22Could she dislocate one of your shoulders?
32:23Why, why, why, why?
32:25Okay, it's reversing Carly Bright back in big.
32:28And then with the elbow, of course, and another big elbow.
32:33You know, Kendall isn't exactly a cheerleader, but she's clapping for Carly.
32:37She's doing her best.
32:38There are two pieces of-
32:39No, no, no, no, no.
32:39You're not giving that enough credit.
32:41She's clapping.
32:42No, no, she's fully invested as Kalix has beaten the living hell of Carly Bright.
32:50Kendall Gray is dialed in.
32:52Look, she's coaching her.
32:53Yeah, I mean, she just pumped her up right there and gave her a little something.
32:56Wait, look, and it might have worked because now Carly's fighting back.
33:00Carly just trying to escape Kalix right now and back on her feet.
33:05Oh, yeah, hello, new Carly.
33:09Apparently that relationship offers quite a bit there, Robert.
33:15Oh, she's got, wait, wait, wait, she's got it locked in.
33:18She's got her into submission, man.
33:21Oh, and a backbreaker instead.
33:24Carly Bright could be in trouble.
33:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
33:28Kalix.
33:29She does speak.
33:30Trying to finish her off.
33:31Yeah, there's some words.
33:34Oh, no.
33:35Wait.
33:37Reversal into a pin.
33:38One, two, three.
33:40Got her.
33:41Here is your winner, Carly Bright.
33:43How do you feel now, Robert?
33:49How do you feel?
33:50Look at the friendship.
33:51Look, even Stripe Wright's impressed.
33:53Well, Zayda Steele's not, but the boys were.
33:57Look at that.
33:58We have a real tag team.
33:59We have camaraderie.
34:00We have friendship.
34:01Let's take a look back at what happened at the end here.
34:04Big backbreaker by Kalix.
34:07Looked to be the end, but then the reverse.
34:09Sunset.
34:11Boom.
34:12Good night.
34:23Do you hear that?
34:24She called her her bestie.
34:25That is actually cute.
34:27A heartwarming moment.
34:30Not so much Kalix, but a heartwarming moment between Kendall and Carly,
34:34and now Chewy Martinez in the VIP section.
34:38Why is Chewy always messing with that?
34:46Well, what's he trying to do?
34:47I don't understand what's happening there.
34:49Oh, but the crowd clearly wants Swipe Wright.
34:52Jackson Drake and Zayda Steele cleared from the VIP section.
34:55I don't see why.
34:56Jealousy.
34:59Well, listen, unfortunately,
35:01Brad Baylor's lawyer already took care of things.
35:03We are stuck with them, it seems.
35:05However, at least we have this.
35:13Timothy Thatcher, an OG Evolve champion.
35:18That's right.
35:19I'm getting those OG Evolve feels.
35:22The official player coach of the WWE program.
35:25No-nonsense, bare-bones fighter.
35:28Peter, there's no flashing gear.
35:30There's no knee and elbow pads.
35:32There's no flashing tongue.
35:33There's not even any teeth.
35:34But do you see?
35:35But do you see he doesn't need teeth.
35:36No.
35:37What Timothy Thatcher is trying to do is instill respect on the Vanity Project.
35:41He is trying to show the Vanity Project that if you're gonna be a part of WWE Evolve,
35:46you show respect to the business, you show respect to your fellow competitors,
35:50and you stop acting like a bunch of children.
35:52Now, Bryce Donovan is interested.
35:58We didn't know a few weeks back why he was hanging out with Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes,
36:05Jackson Drake, and Zeta Steele.
36:07I still don't think we do.
36:08I don't know why.
36:10What I can gather is this though, whether it makes sense or not,
36:14whether he is the weird macabre member of the Vanity Project or not,
36:19there's some sort of camaraderie, look.
36:22Look how hyped up the Vanity Project.
36:23What is that, by the way, Ricky Smokes, you're an idiot.
36:26Ricky Smokes is an idiot.
36:27What is that dance he's doing?
36:29You're gonna regret, you're gonna regret when he hears that, I'm telling you.
36:33My God.
36:38The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is your main event.
36:49Introducing first, from Sacramento, California, weighing 221 pounds, Timothy Badger!
37:01Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger!
37:08Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger! Badger
37:38if he can hang with the terrifying Timothy Thatcher.
37:42Yeah, well, hands down, okay, I respect Bryce.
37:45He's a bad dude when he's in the squared circle,
37:47but if he could get a win, if he could beat Timothy Thatcher,
37:51which you say it out loud, it seems impossible,
37:53but it's not, it would be the biggest,
37:55hands down the biggest win of his career, no doubt about it.
37:57It would change the course of his career.
37:59And also, let's be honest, another feather in the cap
38:03for the Vanity Project, if they can get a big win
38:05out of their muscle, Bryce Donovan.
38:08Although right now, he's just gotta try to survive
38:10those European uppercuts from Timothy Thatcher.
38:13But look at that, a lot of power in the right hand
38:15from Bryce Donovan as well.
38:17Yeah, I like both these guys.
38:18You know I love the Vanity Project,
38:20but mad respect for Timothy Thatcher.
38:22I love what he does in the ring,
38:24I love the career that he's had,
38:26and I love that he's bringing it here to the new Evolve.
38:28Boom!
38:30Timothy Thatcher's still a lot of power.
38:33As Bryce Donovan gets support from the Vanity Project.
38:36It is the main event, and there's more next, right here, on Tube.
38:39That was a good one.
38:44It was, you feel that, right?
38:46Good. Yeah.
38:47This is really cool.
38:51I hope you're not scared.
38:55Here we go.
38:59Manoia.
39:00Manoia.
39:01The princess, the queen, the goddess has arrived.
39:06Welcome back to our main event on WWE Evolve on Tubi.
39:20Timothy Thatcher, Bryce Donovan.
39:21I'm Peter Rosenberg, joined by Robert Stone, as always, ringside.
39:26There it is.
39:28The joint manipulation, the submissions, the mat work.
39:31If you get locked on the mat with Timothy Thatcher,
39:33it's a very dangerous place to be, there may be no getting up.
39:36Timothy Thatcher may be as experienced as anyone in the Evolve locker room.
39:41He's been around the world, he's done it all.
39:43He's been around the world 10 times, 20 times.
39:47Bryce Donovan, of course, trying to prove himself, not only to the fans,
39:50and to Stevie Turner, but also to his cohorts in the Vanity Project,
39:55to sit ringside.
39:56Bryce get out of there.
39:57Do you see what he's doing?
39:58When he gets you down, it's not easy to get up and
40:01catch any part of your body and hold you down, and that's what he's doing right now.
40:05Bryce bigger than him in size, but he's got nowhere to go.
40:08Now you see Swipe Wright at ringside.
40:10They better be focused on themselves, because next week they have the match of
40:15their lives against Keanu Carver and Harlem Lewis.
40:19That is a huge match for Swipe Wright.
40:20I actually think it's the other way around.
40:22I think Harlem Lewis and Keanu have the match of their lives getting to go up
40:25against Swipe Wright.
40:25What an opportunity for them.
40:27I don't know if they're gonna view it that way, but we're gonna see what
40:30happens with the size disparity in that matchup as you look at young Ricky
40:33Smokes and Brad Baylor.
40:35Well, we can just agree to disagree.
40:39Timothy Thatcher putting in those uppercuts on Bryce Donovan.
40:42He's trying to lock him in now.
40:44Is he gonna try and go for a throw?
40:45I'll tell you, Bryce Donovan's a big man.
40:47It's hard to lock it in.
40:48And that was a creative move there by Bryce Donovan into the big clothesline.
40:55Is he gonna go for the pin?
40:56He will.
40:57Hooks the leg.
40:57One, two.
41:01Bryce Donovan straight out of creative pro wrestling in Long Island, New York.
41:05Trained by Curt Hawkins, so you know he was trained the right way to respect the ring,
41:10to get the job done in the ring.
41:12But he has never been in there with someone like Timothy.
41:14Thatcher is on another level, but look at these heavy hands,
41:18the forearms that he's bringing to his back.
41:20Thatcher actually looks a little hurt.
41:24Thatcher, of course, trying to teach the Vanity Project a lesson,
41:28trying to teach them how to operate as Bryce Donovan goes for the pin.
41:30They can't even get one.
41:31Thatcher's staying alive, though, relentless in fighting back.
41:37But Bryce right on him, man, he really is the heavy for Swipe Right.
41:40One, two.
41:44Timothy Thatcher in desperate need of a win.
41:46He has not scored one yet in Evolve.
41:48And this is a man who is trying to revive his career in Evolve.
41:53These guys are gonna push each other past their limits,
41:56past exhaustion, past pain.
41:58It's really, what it's gonna come down to, which is what Evolve is,
42:01it's gonna come down to who wants it more, Peter.
42:04Who really needs this and wants this win more?
42:06Bryce Donovan trying to wear out Timothy Thatcher, not a bad idea.
42:12Oof, some stiff, stiff punches from both of these men.
42:16Have you ever seen someone take it to Thatcher like this,
42:18go toe to toe with them like this?
42:20Here we go, pinfall, one, two, not enough.
42:23Man, Bryce Donovan just wants to get out of here with a W.
42:26I'm sure he wants to go celebrate somewhere tonight with his friends in
42:29Vanity Project, or at least stand there in an awkward, dark fashion,
42:34looking off into the distance.
42:35Yeah, he's the heavy for swipe right.
42:37That's what you do.
42:40Timothy Thatcher taken out of the ring.
42:43And Bryce Donovan's gonna join him on the outside.
42:46He looks a little loopy, but the more teeth Thatcher loses,
42:49the more he smiles.
42:51And I think he just lost one right there.
42:52Hey, say what you will, very smart of the youngster to follow
42:56Thatcher outside the ring and continue the attack.
42:59You don't wanna go to sleep on that savvy veteran, Timothy Thatcher.
43:02Very aggressive, not giving him a second to breathe.
43:04And right now, he's not able to breathe as Vanity Project from the VIP
43:08section.
43:08He's yelling in his ear.
43:09Well, listen, Thatcher fancies himself to be the player coach of WWE ID,
43:13teaching youngsters along the way.
43:15But right now, he's gotta figure it out for himself as he's in trouble.
43:19And he still needs his first win in Evolve.
43:22What do you think a Timothy Thatcher Christmas card looks like?
43:26I mean, really.
43:27What do you mean?
43:28What is that look like?
43:29What's the picture?
43:30Yeah.
43:31Does he send out a family?
43:32Like the one-
43:33I don't know, that's what I'm asking.
43:33The one you send out with the kids?
43:34I don't know if he does that.
43:36Ooh, he's asking if he's into the holidays.
43:39It's hard to picture Timothy Thatcher sending out the family card with no teeth on the front.
43:44I mean, I guess.
43:45It would be an interesting look.
43:46This is a guy who was in the first ever NXT pit match.
43:51Pinfall one, two.
43:53All right, clearly he's got a few screws loose, but in a good way.
43:56Vanity Project looking on.
43:58I'll say this about Vanity Project.
44:00They're locked in.
44:01Swipe Wright and Jackson Drake clearly care about the results of this match for their guy.
44:06Going for that suplex again.
44:08Is he gonna get it this time?
44:10Not looking good.
44:12Wow.
44:12Savvy stuff from the youngster Bryce Donovan.
44:16He has really proven that he is the muscle in the Vanity Project.
44:21Ooh, this could be trouble.
44:23He hooks the leg, Bryce Donovan, one, two.
44:26I'll tell you what, at this very moment, Robert, is it me, and I feel bad saying this.
44:31Thatcher feels like a little bit more coach than player at this moment.
44:35You know, I don't know, I'll tell you what I know he wants to do.
44:38He wants to make sure everyone is respecting you all.
44:40He wants to right any wrongs in Evolve.
44:43But can you win matches still?
44:45That's the thing.
44:46Can he do two jobs at once, are you saying?
44:48That's right.
44:49I think Timothy Thatcher can.
44:51And that's coming from a guy who loves the Vanity Project.
44:53That's very, very true.
44:55Thatcher's finding a way to give himself some room in a second to catch his breath.
45:00Certainly a way to use your head.
45:02Uh-oh, we're going for chokeslam here.
45:05No, Timothy Thatcher is not having it.
45:07And catches Bryce Donovan with an enziguri.
45:12He's summoning the strength and power from the crowd here at WWE Evolve,
45:17who would love to see Timothy Thatcher get his first win.
45:20He's going for it again.
45:21Third time, can he get it?
45:23He just cannot seem to get it done here with Bryce Donovan.
45:27Wait, wait.
45:29A fourth time.
45:30And he gets it.
45:31Is that enough?
45:33Uh-oh, here come your boys.
45:37Of course, Swipe Right, who were banned from ringside earlier.
45:40One count slam.
45:42You know what, one, two, three.
