00:00Party's here, look who it is, Swipe Right.
00:06New bonds have been forming on WWE Evolve.
00:10What gigantic individual is that?
00:13He appears to be backing up Swipe Right and Zeta.
00:15He's not with you, he's with us.
00:18We got his back, same way he has ours.
00:22And some superstars have witnessed enough.
00:28What's this going on, huh?
00:30Legacy and Thatcher staring at which seems like some sort of vanity project.
00:35Tonight, these conflicts will be settled in the WWE Evolved Ring
00:40when the defiant Jackson Drake takes on Super Shawn Legacy
00:45and the rugged Timothy Thatcher faces the mysterious Bryce Donovan.
00:50It all goes down tonight.
01:16Fresh off of WrestleMania weekend, welcome to WWE Evolve on to me.
01:23Peter Rosenberg joined by Robert Stone.
01:27This is where Pro Wrestling Evolved.
01:30Robert Stone, we have an incredible maximum.
01:33Of course, Stevie Turner set us up with a couple of great matches.
01:38Jackson Drake versus Super Shawn Legacy.
01:42High power, high intensity, high flying, and that's not all.
01:45We also have Timothy Thatcher against this man, this enigma, Bryce Donovan.
01:52That's also going down.
01:54Oh!
02:02Ladies and gentlemen, I am so excited for the night we have ahead.
02:08And to make things more exciting, I am on the verge of finalizing a huge announcement tonight.
02:19Stop.
02:20Oh, yeah!
02:22Party's here!
02:24The party is here!
02:26Now, this is how you kick off Evolve after WrestleMania.
02:29Oh, why are Swipe Right and Zeta Steel and, oh, Jackson Drake,
02:35and you see Draco Knox watching in confusion from the VIP section, the most obnoxious creeps.
02:41Just let it happen, Peter.
02:43Just let it happen.
02:45Just let it happen.
02:45Oh, this is not how I wanted my post-WrestleMania week to go.
02:49The Vanity Project.
02:52Oh, and you see, Stevie, I relate.
02:54Stevie, I feel the same way.
02:56You would.
02:56Why does Brad Baylor have a mic in his hand right now?
03:00Oh.
03:01Please, please, please just do me a favor.
03:05Take a good long look at the five future superstars in this ring right now.
03:14Look who's right next to me.
03:17You suck!
03:18You suck!
03:20You suck!
03:21You suck!
03:23You suck!
03:24You suck!
03:25You suck!
03:25You suck!
03:26Right next to me, you got the real deal, Zeta Steel.
03:29Swipe that!
03:30Swipe that!
03:32Swipe that!
03:33Swipe that!
03:33Swipe that!
03:34Swipe that!
03:34You know what?
03:35That's quite ironic, considering all your girlfriends swiped right in the ring.
03:39You suck!
03:41You suck!
03:42You suck!
03:44You suck!
03:45Look at Zeta, guys, look at Zeta.
03:48But that thought going through your heads right now, the answer's no.
03:55You cannot have her.
03:58You suck!
03:58You suck!
03:59You suck!
04:00You suck!
04:01You suck!
04:01You suck!
04:03You suck!
04:03You suck!
04:06You suck!
04:07Reaper, Heartbreak Drake. Oh, but just for the record, just for the record, if you go to any
04:15frat party in North Carolina, kid's known as the wild card. Did you really think I forgot
04:28every lady's dream team? Ricky and I, Ricky and I, swipe.
04:43Oh, okay, okay. You guys have an issue with that. You got a problem. You got an issue with that.
04:48That's fun. That's honestly cool. Cuz I got my big man, Bryce Donovan, my heavy,
04:55standing right here behind me. Please, please, please, believe me when I tell you,
05:01no one in Evolve wants to mess with Bryce. No one, no one does.
05:07Commentary, all the social media, pretty much everyone here, they want to call us the Vanity Project.
05:15Perfect. Perfect. I'll take it. Cuz quite frankly, that's exactly what we are.
05:32You guys can go on and on, say swipe left, do whatever you want, but all I ask you guys,
05:38and I really mean it, please, just remember this moment.
05:42Remember it while we're here. Because the Vanity Project will take over Evolve.
05:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This Vanity Project doesn't call the shots around here.
06:00I am the law, I am the Prime Minister of Evolve, if you will.
06:08So Jackson Drake, seeing as you're already out here,
06:12how about you have your match right now against Shawn Legacy.
06:22Your opening contest is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring from Augusta, Georgia.
06:29Weighing 210 pounds, Shawn Legacy!
06:34Of course, both of these men were a part of the first episode of WWE Evolve, that six-man matchup.
06:44Now we see it one-on-one tonight.
06:46Super Shawn Legacy and Jackson Drake, Robert Stone.
06:50This is what I'm talking about to kick off WWE Evolve.
06:54Yeah, well Shawn got the pin in the first ever Evolve main event,
06:56but Jackson Drake and that six-man tag, he almost had him beat.
07:00I don't know if you remember that, but he almost had him beat.
07:02Well, almost hand grenades.
07:05What's the line again?
07:07I don't know. Are you talking about hockey?
07:08Close is only good.
07:10I don't watch sports.
07:11Don't worry about it.
07:11Anyways, here we go. Super Shawn Legacy.
07:13Man, a physical specimen, this guy.
07:15He's strong, athletic, high fly. He does it all.
07:18Is it me or is Stevie Turner already pushing her power, just making matches, whatever she wants?
07:24Why can't she do that?
07:25I know she's the GM, but was Jackson Drake, was Heartbreak Drake ready for that?
07:30Well, I don't think it's her job to clear with her talent.
07:35Is she really in charge?
07:36Yes.
07:37So this isn't a nightmare that I've had for the past few weeks.
07:40No, no, this is not a nightmare.
07:42She is really in charge and she gave us a couple of great matchups tonight.
07:46As you see the slam from Jackson Drake in the pin and just two.
07:51I wouldn't be so insubordinate if I were you over there, Robert Stone.
07:56Well, listen, I will say this.
07:57You can't have a better way to kick things off with in-ring competition this week.
08:02I mean, the Vanity Project coming to the ring, Heartbreak Drake in the ring.
08:08And these two guys are the future of the WWE.
08:11And a pinfall and a two count for Super Shawn Legacy.
08:14Your boy Heartbreak Drake needs to stop celebrating and pay attention.
08:18He finds himself in a bad way, and even worse right now, that kick to the back
08:22from Super Shawn Legacy, who I bet is gonna fly, and that's what he does.
08:26What do you think you are?
08:28I mentioned it, and he is that dude.
08:31Yeah, he is.
08:32He is.
08:33Look, that was beautiful.
08:34What am I gonna say?
08:35That was beautiful.
08:36A little risky, a little cocky, but beautiful.
08:38I mean, Super Shawn Legacy is the top.
08:40What is Zeta Steele doing?
08:41And now what is Brad Baylor doing?
08:43What is Shawn doing?
08:45He's eating Matt courtesy of Ricky Slopes and Brad Baylor and Vanity Project.
08:51We do.
08:52We do.
08:52We do.
08:52We do.
08:52We do.
08:53Wait.
08:55For real?
08:56See, that's what I'm talking about.
08:59The referee has banished.
09:02As you see Draco Knox celebrating and waving goodbye, the referee has banned Vanity Project
09:09from ringside as well as he should.
09:14Come on!
09:14The crowd chanting, Draco Knox celebrating.
09:17Jackson Drake's on his own.
09:19It's WWE Evolve.
09:21More next.
09:26The crowd chanting, Draco Knox dancing.
09:27If you can hear it and bawling, you might wait.
09:34Let's get to see you.
09:36Come on!
09:37Come on!
09:38If you need to hear it.
09:42Come on!
09:47Let's get to see you.
09:48Come on!
09:51Hey!
09:51What is your name?
09:51Hey!
10:00Welcome back to WWE Evolve on Tubi.
10:03Jackson Drake, Super Sean Legacy.
10:05This is a great matchup between one member, Jackson Drake, of the Vanity Project.
10:11I got to tell you, I'm sort of disgusted.
10:13I feel like I accidentally named the Vanity Project when I referred to them as that a while back.
10:19You, like you could come up with something so great, so clever.
10:22I came up with the Vanity Project.
10:24No, no, I, you know what?
10:26Peter, go back and listen.
10:27I said Vanity Project before you.
10:29You would never, never.
10:31Watch out, Jackson Drake eating an elbow there from Sean Legacy.
10:34You know what?
10:34If you're proud of it.
10:35Oh, there you go.
10:36More of the high flying maneuvers from Super Sean Legacy.
10:41Awesome stuff early on from Super Sean Legacy.
10:44And look, as you get a close up right here, you can see that Sean is a black eye.
10:47He got that this week from Drake.
10:49So believe me, believe me, he is struggling a little bit.
10:53I don't know if you've ever had a black eye, but if he got knocked silly in that, he is
10:56struggling a little bit seeing out of that eye.
10:59And that later in this match might come into play.
11:01I'm sure I haven't had as many black eyes as you've had over the years, that's for sure.
11:05Let me say this.
11:07I have watched some pre-evolved Jackson Drake footage.
11:11And man, let me tell you, what Swipe Right has done for him since he joined the Vanity Project,
11:15he's looking better.
11:17He's wrestling better.
11:18He is just on another level.
11:20He's going to turn this around, I'm telling you.
11:21Well, right now, yeah, he better find some of those things you're talking about right now.
11:24He's on the wrong end of it with Super Sean Legacy during our opening contest here on WWE Evolve.
11:31Sean Legacy is like every other superhero.
11:34He's overdramatic.
11:35All right, what he really needs to do, he needs to see a shrink.
11:38He can't be a superhero without having issues.
11:41Oh, missile dropkick from Sean Legacy.
11:43Two.
11:45Two and a half there.
11:46Now, wait, that's what you're recommending for Super Sean Legacy is therapy.
11:50Let's take a look back.
11:51Look at that.
11:52I'll tell you what he doesn't need.
11:55Oh, he doesn't need any work with the high-flying maneuvers.
11:58He's got that down just well.
12:00Something you certainly did not know about during your illustrious career, Robin Stone.
12:03Well, I can hide by a little bit, but I will say what a battle this is.
12:06And it's not their first time in the ring together.
12:08It will not be their last.
12:09You can see their shots trying to get him up for shambles.
12:12But look, look, Jackson working on the eye.
12:16I just said it.
12:17Oh, you're right.
12:17He's going right back to work on that eye.
12:20He's got him up in the shambles.
12:21Is he going to get it?
12:22Jackson Drake hanging on to that top rope for dear life.
12:25A good decision indeed.
12:27Ring awareness.
12:28He knows where he is.
12:30Ducks under a punch.
12:32That is smart wrestling from Jackson Drake.
12:35Finding a way to stay alive in this match.
12:39By the way, I've been watching you on social media interact with Vanity Project.
12:42It's embarrassing.
12:43You mean it's embarrassing?
12:45And he hit him with the lethal ejection.
12:47One, two.
12:49What do you mean embarrassing?
12:50It's just to see you.
12:52These kids are half your age.
12:54You want to be down with them so bad.
12:56What a down?
12:56What is the age thing?
12:57What does age matter in friendship?
12:59Look, we have a lot in common.
13:01You don't have anything in common.
13:02You used to be a professional wrestler.
13:05They are emerging professional wrestlers.
13:08Besides that, you have nothing in common.
13:10They sit under my tree of knowledge, as should you, Peter.
13:14All right, and now, hold on.
13:16The knee being exposed from Jackson Drake.
13:19You see him bring down his knee pad.
13:21He was going for the unaliving.
13:23Big right hand.
13:25Uppercut.
13:26And now a big right return.
13:29Just as Jackson Drake was going for the eye.
13:32And he turned Super Sean Legacy inside out with that clothesline.
13:36This is his beginning.
13:38His greatness is inevitable, man.
13:43His greatness is inevitable.
13:47Yeah.
13:47Do they pay you?
13:48Honestly.
13:49What do you mean?
13:49Do they slip you a little extra money on the side?
13:52I said Super Sean Legacy was talented also.
13:54But you didn't say his greatness was inevitable.
13:56I mean, head to head here.
13:58Eye to eye almost, which isn't a good thing for Sean.
14:02They're just throwing heavy hands right now.
14:04Bolos.
14:05Big rights.
14:07Big, big elbow there.
14:08It's evolved, baby.
14:10I'm loving this action early.
14:12They just caught him with Arada just out of nowhere.
14:15And now we hit the unaliving right to the eye.
14:18Right to that wounded eye.
14:20Now, what a great Super Sean Legacy catches there.
14:23Because he ends up, you're right, getting hit square in the eye.
14:26But he rolls under the bottom rope.
14:28And now gets a minute to catch his breath.
14:30Why isn't your boy, Jackson Drake, getting out there and throwing him right back in the ring?
14:33The countout is a win also.
14:35He might not be able to get back in the ring, Peter.
14:38Our crowd live as always here on Evolve.
14:42And Super Sean Legacy is back in and back on top of the pin.
14:46One, two.
14:47Two and three quarters.
14:50Jackson Drake cutting it very close.
14:51But he is still alive.
14:53Sean Legacy now back in this match.
14:56This is a hell of an opening contest.
14:58Fresh out of WrestleMania weekend.
15:00On Tubi.
15:01Peter Rosenberg, Robert Stone.
15:03Sight to be here with you on a Wednesday.
15:05What is Super Sean Legacy looking for?
15:10Jackson Drake avoiding Sean Legacy.
15:12And now, again, going back to work on that face.
15:17And now the chest.
15:19Whoa.
15:19Don't blink.
15:20Because if you do, you're going to miss something.
15:22Right now, I don't know if Sean can blink.
15:23But I'll tell you what.
15:26Both of these athletes, as Sean Legacy misses in the corner, watch out.
15:31Oh.
15:31Rewind Rana.
15:33There is a lot of high-risk stuff going on.
15:35And a pin.
15:36One, two.
15:38Oh.
15:38Jackson Drake does not score the pinfall.
15:41I thought that was it for Sean Legacy.
15:44Describe what we saw here, Rob.
15:45How impressive by Heartbreak Drake with the Rewind Rana right on Sean Legacy.
15:51Man, that Rewind Rana is something.
15:53This is why you got to tune in to Evolve every single Wednesday.
15:57Innovation from these young talents.
15:59Look at him.
16:00You see what he's doing?
16:01You see what he's doing?
16:02Thumb right in the eye.
16:03Oh, my God.
16:04And hey, hey, why not?
16:05Hey, let's get him out of here.
16:07Let's get him out of here.
16:08As Draco Knox watches from the VIP section, one of the many people who have issues with
16:13the Vanity Project, Draco Knox, he's not feeling what the Vanity Project have been
16:18putting down.
16:19Not feeling the aura, if you will.
16:21And hold on now.
16:22Super Sean Legacy with the kick there to Jackson Drake.
16:24And another.
16:26Building his way back up here.
16:29Oof.
16:30But he's a kick for his troubles.
16:32It is just non-stop going for the lethal injection again.
16:36Instead, he's caught.
16:37Got him and shambles.
16:39That's got to be it.
16:40That's got to be it.
16:42Two, three.
16:44Here is your winner, Sheehan Legacy.
16:52Wow.
16:53You talked about the bruised eye.
16:56He overcame it, Robert Stone.
16:59And Super Sean Legacy showing you why he's got the nickname.
17:04There he is.
17:04The high flying over the top.
17:08And here you saw the lethal injection by Heartbreak Drake.
17:13But it was not enough.
17:14A two count only left the door open for this.
17:19Sean Legacy still not quite there, but he kept working, kept working.
17:24Until he finally finished him off with the shambles.
17:26One, two, one, two, three.
17:31You think this is going to stop me?
17:35No.
17:36WWE ID is all about making champions.
17:40Hey, Stevie, where's the title?
17:43Because it's my turn to show.
17:46WWE E-Ball fans, my legacy will always be Super!
17:59Hi, Wendy Chew.
18:01Okay, I just wanted to let you know, Wendy, that I am no stranger to darkness, okay?
18:06I've had to overcome every obstacle that life has thrown my way.
18:11In and out of the ring.
18:14Now, I will admit that the darkness that I felt under your blanket was a little different.
18:20Different, okay?
18:21And I don't know who you are or what happened to you.
18:25But, Wendy, I will not let that darkness consume me, okay?
18:30I know I can overcome you.
18:33And I am not afraid to face you again.
18:38Actually, how about next week?
18:41Kylie Rae is ready for Wendy Chew.
18:43And I'll tell you what, I am ready to see Harlem Lewis and Keanu Carver standing right next to each
18:49other.
18:50It's coming up next, a WWE Evolve Face-Off.
19:07Let's be real.
19:10You and I both know that this tournament is coming down to us.
19:14And I promise you, I'm not losing.
19:16I'm going to be the first person to leave that building with the Evolve Championship around my waist.
19:24It sound good, but it's all empty promises.
19:27I beat the brace off Luka.
19:30I smash Trill.
19:33And I'll punish that boy, Gale.
19:36You beat Trill?
19:37Guess what?
19:38I beat Trill.
19:41You beat Luka?
19:42I beat Joe Coffey.
19:43But you know what you haven't done, Keanu?
19:46You haven't beat me.
19:48So it sounds like you're the only person standing in my waist.
19:51I guess so.
19:52Well, boys.
19:53Boys.
19:54You want to go at it?
19:55Take shots at each other?
19:57Overlook the rest of the field?
19:58That's fine.
19:59But I'm putting you and you in a match together next week.
20:03Yeah, that sounds good, man.
20:04I do want that.
20:05That sounds great to me.
20:06As a tag team.
20:08Yeah.
20:09It'll be Keanu Carver, Harlem Lewis taking on Swipe.
20:12Right.
20:14I hope you know you just signed them boys.
20:16Definitely.
20:17And if you get in my way, you're going to be next.
20:22Not what I expected to come from that WWE Evolve face-off.
20:26We'll see Keanu and Harlem in tag action together next week.
20:30The following contest is scheduled for our fall.
20:33Introducing first from San Diego, California, Zara Zacher.
20:38Zara Zacher has been showing and proving in these early days of WWE Evolve.
20:46What have you seen so far?
20:48Her grind never stops.
20:49Her hunger is always there waiting to be fed by the next challenge.
20:53But I mean, her friendship with Kylie Rae, you know how I feel about that.
20:57Are you worried about having friends?
20:59Or are you worried about competition?
21:01I love that you don't believe one could have a career and be professional.
21:05It takes your mind off things.
21:07It takes your mind off things.
21:09And her opponent, coming to the ring by Layla Diggs from Atlanta, Georgia, Aria Bennett.
21:18Now we have Aria Bennett with Layla Diggs.
21:23She's from Allentown, Pennsylvania.
21:26Very athletic.
21:27A great gymnast in her day.
21:30Was a member of the USA Gymnastics First Team All-American.
21:35Signed with WWE back in 2023.
21:40Really talented R-Event.
21:41And speaking of friendship, she has four modes of Layla Diggs.
21:44And again, are we worried about having friends?
21:46Are we worried about winning matches?
21:48Oh no, I wonder if she can possibly handle both having a friend and going to work.
21:52You can have friends outside of the industry.
21:55But when it comes to in-ring competition, you don't need someone there at ringside.
21:58And believe me, they're not.
21:59Nobody's really friends at professional wrestling.
22:01Everybody's trying to steal each other's spot.
22:03I promise you that.
22:04You know, I think I would take it as law from you more if I believed you actually had friends.
22:10You don't need them.
22:11That's why I'm successful, Peter.
22:13You don't need them.
22:14Proof.
22:14The proof's in the play.
22:15An early pinfall from Zara Zakhar trying to get it done early.
22:18Going for another one as well.
22:19Going to have to put in some more work on Aria, I think.
22:22Here's another pin.
22:24Oh, and Aria reversing things into a pin.
22:28Woo!
22:28This is a pin fest and another at a two count.
22:33Okay, all right.
22:34All right.
22:44And a little sign of mutual respect early on.
22:47I'm sure that makes you sick.
22:48Love to see it.
22:49More friendship.
22:50Why?
22:50Now, who wants to win matches?
22:52Let's congratulate each other on how great our pin sequence was.
22:55I think they're just saying, let's have a respectful, good competition.
23:00Well, look, here's what I'll say about Aria and Layla, okay?
23:03They have no drama, no negativity.
23:04They have goals and motivation.
23:06And they are working together to make that happen.
23:08That was beautiful.
23:09Oh, she's a great athlete.
23:10There's no question about that.
23:11Aria Bennett.
23:12Woo!
23:13Arm drag takeover there.
23:15And a big knee to that.
23:15Puts her knee right on the head of Zara Zacher.
23:19She moves through the ring with precision and grace of someone who has mastered every possible
23:23angle.
23:23I'm telling you, she's someone like straight out of the Matrix.
23:27Zara, of course, a big part of our WWE ID program and has found her way here.
23:34And now, Zara Zacher has found her way under the foot of Aria Bennett.
23:41She's got the arm locked in and going.
23:43Looks like for another pin.
23:45A good pin.
23:45One, two.
23:47Going to have to hook the leg on Zara Zacher, I think.
23:49You know, what a great example this is of what Evolve brings to the table.
23:53You have WWE ID talent Zara against Aria straight out of the WWE Performance Center.
23:59Two different worlds colliding in the ring right now on a Wednesday night.
24:03I love it.
24:04That is exactly what makes it special, Rob.
24:05You're completely on point with that.
24:07As you see, Zara Zacher showing what she could do.
24:10But by the way, Aria Bennett with a whole life outside of wrestling she's put together.
24:15She's been a stunt coordinator.
24:19She's trained celebrities.
24:21She's done it all.
24:25The list goes on and on.
24:26You can see that in her performances.
24:28Uh-oh.
24:29In the ring.
24:31But hey, don't count Zara out either.
24:33I mean, she's an underdog.
24:35She fights with heart.
24:36And underdogs rise when others doubt.
24:38And maybe that's to her advantage.
24:40Maybe some people take her lightly.
24:42Maybe Aria's taken her lightly.
24:45And don't forget, Zara, of course, has been learning from Kylie Rae, a veteran of the scene.
24:49They've developed a friendship.
24:51Again, I know you're against friendships.
24:51Yeah, we know.
24:52We know the friendship.
24:52We know you're against friendships.
24:54But Zara Zakhar is clearly learning from Kylie Rae's great experience all over the NDC.
24:59High risk!
25:00Boom!
25:02But Zara Zakhar, you can't learn that.
25:04You just got to feel that pain as Aria goes for the pin.
25:06One, two.
25:08And another kick out for Zara Zakhar.
25:09For a second there, she was talking to the crowd, and she hesitated to go right for that pinfall.
25:14That could be a rookie mistake.
25:15Well, again, everybody here is learning.
25:18And that is the case as the crowd very excited.
25:21Inseguri there from Aria Bennett.
25:26Neck breaker right there as well.
25:28And another pinfall.
25:28She hooks the leg, too.
25:31Not quite.
25:32But Zara Zakhar now has found herself in a bad way, Robert Stoller.
25:35She's got to figure it out.
25:36She believed she could, so she did.
25:38But will she?
25:39Every matchup here in these early days have evolved.
25:41So important in establishing where you are in the pecking order of your division.
25:47Control-Z!
25:49Out of nowhere!
25:51My goodness.
25:53Zara Zakhar, Control-Z.
25:55Two, three.
25:57Here is your winner.
25:59Zara Zakhar!
26:03Big, big win for Zara Zakhar.
26:07You're a disappointed Aria Bennett and Layla Diggs.
26:10Congrats.
26:10Let's take a look back, Rob.
26:12Big hurricanrata off the top by Aria Bennett.
26:15High-risk maneuver.
26:16And then, look at this.
26:19Control-Z out of nowhere!
26:21My goodness.
26:24Unbelievable win for Zara Zakhar.
26:28Make some noise for my girl, Zara!
26:33Back in the winning circle.
26:34I like that.
26:36Pretty damn impressive, homie.
26:38You still feel like the underdog out here?
26:40Dude, I always feel like the underdog.
26:42Okay.
26:42You see what I did in there?
26:43I saw that.
26:43Y'all saw that?
26:46Hey.
26:50Yo.
26:54Hey, yo, you did that, bro?
26:55No, no, no, no.
26:56I did not.
26:56What's going on?
26:59Hey, what's up?
27:00What's up?
27:03Yo.
27:04That's not for me.
27:05That's for you.
27:06Go ahead.
27:07No, no, no, no.
27:08It's all you.
27:09That's all you.
27:09That's all you, bro.
27:11Oh, boy.
27:14Yeah.
27:15I wouldn't.
27:16Get that.
27:16Get that.
27:18I bet I know who this is from.
27:25Kylie, I accept.
27:33It's all going down next week.
27:36Obviously, Wendy Chu accepting the challenge from Kylie Rae.
27:39Can she overcome the darkness?
27:41We'll see.
27:42Oh.
27:43Hey, look who's back.
27:45Look who's back.
27:45Party's back.
27:46Party's back.
27:48All right.
27:50Are you all right?
27:52VIP right where they belong.
27:54You guys got kicked out ringside.
27:56What are you doing here?
27:57What are you doing here?
28:04Hold on.
28:05Hold on.
28:05Hold on.
28:08I actually just got off the phone with my mom and dad's lawyer, and they said that although
28:19we got kicked out of ringside, we have every right to be in the VIP section.
28:27Man, that lawyer comes in handy.
28:29You love this.
28:30Yeah, that's the thing.
28:31That's the thing about having daddy's lawyer on retainer, I guess.
28:35I wonder if it was Luca Crucifino.
28:37Absolutely not.
28:38All right.
28:39Swipe right is back, apparently.
28:40But fortunately, we also have this.
28:43Later tonight, Timothy Thatcher and Bryce Donovan right here on WWE Evolve.
28:55Welcome back to WWE Evolve.
29:00There she is, Carly Bright.
29:03I think she's looking for Kendall Gray.
29:05That would be my guess.
29:06And she found her.
29:07The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
29:10Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Kendall Gray, from Kenosha, Wisconsin, Carly
29:16Burra.
29:17I literally, my mood gets better when I see Carly Bright on my wrestling program.
29:24Yeah, she's a resident ray of sunshine.
29:26She's got the girl next door vibes.
29:28That's where her friend Kendall is kind of like the girl four houses down vibes.
29:33If you're picking up what I'm buying now.
29:35They both bring something awesome to the table.
29:37And as you can see, look.
29:38Hey, the fist bump, the camaraderie.
29:40The team is building.
29:42Kendall and Carly, I'm feeling this.
29:46And her opponent, from Evil's Backbone, Texas, Kalex.
29:55All right.
29:55I have two words for you.
29:58For each.
29:58Okay, so we already know.
30:00We already got 1-1-2, and she is scary.
30:03But Kalex is weird.
30:05I don't know if it's something I'm scared of her, but I'm definitely weirded out.
30:08I have an odd feeling in my gut right now.
30:10I didn't know that your ex was wrestling with you.
30:12Yeah, no.
30:13No.
30:14Don't go there, Peter.
30:15Please, don't go.
30:15Because, no.
30:16Come on.
30:17Look, Swipe Right is clearly freaked out.
30:19As they should be.
30:20Zeta Steele disinterested.
30:23This Kalex, man.
30:24They want Kalex to swipe left.
30:26Carly Bright!
30:28Carly Bright!
30:29Carly Bright!
30:29It is WWE Evolve on Tubi.
30:32It's Carly Bright.
30:33It's Kalex.
30:33I'm Peter Rosenberg.
30:34My guy, Robert Stone.
30:36Former in-ring talent.
30:38Now the assistant to Ava on NXT.
30:42And we're so blessed to have you every week right here at Ringside.
30:45I certainly am.
30:46Love having you.
30:47A lot of power.
30:47A lot of decisions I can make.
30:49And let me tell you something.
30:49And I went up to Kalex earlier today to try and talk to her.
30:53Try and get some information from her.
30:56And all she did was write on a piece of paper that she enjoys giving her opponents mental and physical
31:01pain.
31:01She wouldn't speak.
31:02I was going to say, she wrote that down on paper?
31:04She wrote it.
31:05She actually had a nice handwriting.
31:06I was going to ask.
31:07It was good handwriting?
31:07Yeah, which was weirder.
31:09So.
31:10Ooh, she stomps the hand of Carly Bright.
31:14I mean, you could just tell she is a powerful woman.
31:17She's a woman scorned.
31:18And there's something about that mask.
31:20It's almost like it has a life of its own.
31:22I don't know.
31:24I'm telling you, I think she was scorned by you.
31:26I think this was your high school sweetheart.
31:28Oh, clothesline.
31:34Well, look, Carly can take a clothesline.
31:36She's very flexible.
31:37She told me that she could dislocate her own shoulders.
31:40That's a fact.
31:41She told me she could dislocate her own shoulders.
31:44It's a thing.
31:44Could she dislocate one of your shoulders?
31:45Why?
31:46Why?
31:46Why?
31:47Why?
31:47Okay, it's reversing Carly Bright back in big.
31:51And then with the elbow, of course, and another big elbow.
31:55You know, Kendall isn't exactly a cheerleader, but she's clapping for Carly.
31:59She's doing her best.
32:00There are two pieces of...
32:01No, no, no, no.
32:01You're not giving that enough credit.
32:03She's clapping.
32:04No, no.
32:04She's fully invested as Kalix has beaten the living hell of Carly Bright.
32:08Let's go.
32:09Let's go better than this.
32:11Let me go with that.
32:12Kendall Gray is dialed in.
32:14Look, she's coaching him.
32:16Yeah, I mean, she just pumped her up right there and gave her a little something.
32:19Wait, look.
32:19And it might have worked because now Carly's fighting back.
32:23Carly just trying to escape Kalix right now and back on her feet.
32:26Oh, yeah.
32:27Hello, new Carly.
32:31Apparently, that relationship offers quite a bit there, Robert.
32:37She's got...
32:38Wait, wait, wait.
32:38She's got it locked in.
32:40She's got her in a submission, man.
32:43Oh, and a backbreaker instead.
32:46Carly Bright could be in trouble.
32:48No, no, no, no, no.
32:50Kalix.
32:51She does speak.
32:52Trying to finish her off.
32:53Yeah, there's some words.
32:56Oh, no.
32:57Wait.
32:59Reversal into a pin.
33:00One, two, three.
33:02Got her.
33:03Here is your winner.
33:04I'm back.
33:05Carly Bright.
33:09How do you feel now, Robert?
33:11How do you feel?
33:12Look at the friendship.
33:14Look, even Stripe Wright's impressed.
33:15Well, Zeta Steele's not.
33:16But the boys were.
33:19Look at that.
33:20We have a real tag team.
33:21We have camaraderie.
33:22We have friendship.
33:24Let's take a look back at what happened at the end here.
33:26Big backbreaker by Kalix.
33:29Looked to be the end.
33:30But then the reverse.
33:32Sunset.
33:33Boom.
33:34Good night.
33:37Good night.
33:43Do you hear that?
33:46She called her her bestie.
33:48That is actually cute.
33:50A heartwarming moment.
33:51Not so much Kalix, but a heartwarming moment between Kendall and Carly.
33:56And now Chewy Martinez in the VIP section.
34:00Why is Chewy always messing with that?
34:08What's he trying to do?
34:09I don't understand what's happening there.
34:11Oh, but the crowd clearly wants Swipe Wright, Jackson Drake, and Zeta Steele cleared from the VIP section.
34:17Don't see why.
34:18Jealousy.
34:21Well, listen.
34:22Unfortunately, Brad Mailer's lawyer already took care of things.
34:25We are stuck with them, it seems.
34:27However, at least we have this.
34:36Timothy Thatcher.
34:37An OG Evolve champion.
34:40That's right.
34:41I'm getting those OG Evolve feels.
34:44The official player coach of the WWE program.
34:47No-nonsense bare-boats fighter.
34:50Peter, there's no flashy gear.
34:52There's no knee and elbow pads.
34:54There's no flashy talking.
34:55There's not even any teeth.
34:56But do you see?
34:57But do you see he doesn't need teeth.
34:59No.
34:59What Timothy Thatcher is trying to do is instill respect on the Vanity Project.
35:03He is trying to show the Vanity Project that if you're going to be a part of WWE Evolve,
35:08you show respect to the business, you show respect to your fellow competitors,
35:12and you stop acting like a bunch of children.
35:18Now, Bryce Donovan is interested.
35:20We didn't know a few weeks back why he was hanging out with Brad Bailer, Ricky Smokes,
35:27Jackson Drake, and Zeta Steele.
35:29I still don't think we do.
35:30I don't know why.
35:31And I, what I can gather is this, though.
35:34Whether it makes sense or not, whether he is the weird, macabre member of the Vanity Project or not,
35:41there's some sort of camaraderie.
35:43Look, look how hyped up the Vanity Project.
35:45What is that?
35:46By the way, Ricky Smokes, you're an idiot.
35:48Ricky Smokes is an idiot.
35:50What is that dance he's doing?
35:51You're going to regret, you're going to regret when he hears that.
35:53I'm telling you.
35:55My God.
35:56Why are you on film?
35:58You don't need it.
35:58Why are you on film?
35:59Why are you on film?
36:00Why are you on film?
36:01The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is your main event.
36:11Introducing first from Sacramento, California, weighing 221 pounds, Timothy Badger.
36:23Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger.
36:30And his opponent from Long Beach, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger,
36:51Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger,
36:54Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger,
36:55Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Bad
36:58with vanity project and let's see if he can hang with the terrifying timothy thatcher yeah well
37:05hands down okay i respect bryce he's a bad dude when he's in the squared circle but if he could
37:10get a win if he could beat timothy thatcher which you say it out loud it seems impossible but it's
37:15not it would be the biggest hands down the biggest win of his career no doubt about it it would
37:19change the course of his career and also let's be honest another feather in the cap
37:25for the vanity project if they can get a big win out of their muscle bryce donovan although right now
37:30he's just got to try to survive those european uppercuts from timothy thatcher but look at that
37:36a lot of power in the right hand from bryce donovan as well yeah i like both these guys you
37:41know i love
37:41the vanity project but mad respect for timothy thatcher i love what he does in the ring i love
37:46the career that he's had and i love that he's bringing it here to the new evolve boom timothy
37:52thatcher's still a lot of power as bryce donovan gets support from the vanity project it is the main
37:59event and there's more next right here on tube that was a good one it was you feel that right
38:08yeah
38:11this is really cool
38:15i hope you're not scared here we go
38:25the princess the queen the goddess has arrived
38:37welcome back to our main event on wwe evolve on to be timothy thatcher bryce donovan i'm peter
38:44rosenberg joined by robert stone as always ringside there it is the joint manipulation the
38:52submissions the mat work if you get locked on the mat with timothy thatcher it's a very dangerous place
38:57to be there may be no getting up timothy thatcher may be as experienced as anyone in the evolve
39:02locker room he's been around the world he's done it all he's been around the world 10 times 20 times
39:09bryce donovan of course trying to prove himself not only to the fans and to stevie turner but also
39:15to his cohorts in the vanity project who sit ringside
39:19you see what he's doing when he gets you down it's not easy to get up you can catch any
39:24part of
39:25your body and hold you down and that's what he's doing right now bryce bigger than him in size but
39:29he's got nowhere to go now you see swipe right at ringside they better be focused on themselves because
39:35next week they have the match of their lives against keanu carver and harlem lewis that is a
39:41huge match for swipe right i actually think it's the other way around i think harlem lewis and keanu
39:45have the match of their lives getting to go up against swipe right what an opportunity for them
39:49i don't know if they're going to view it that way but we're going to see what happens with the
39:53size
39:53disparity in that matchup as you look at young ricky smokes and brad baylor well we could just agree to
39:58disagree
40:01timothy thatcher putting in those uppercuts on bryce donovan he's trying to lock him in now
40:06is he going to try and go for a throw i'll tell you bryce donovan's a big man it's hard
40:09to lock it in
40:12and that was a creative move there by bryce donovan into the big clothesline
40:17is he going to go for the pin he will hooks the leg one two
40:23bryce donovan straight out of creative pro wrestling in long island new york trained by kurt
40:28hawkins so you know he was trained the right way to respect the ring to get the job done in
40:33the ring
40:33but he has never been in there with someone like timothy thatcher is on another level but look at
40:39look at these heavy hands the forearms that he's bringing to his back thatcher actually looks a little hurt
40:46thatcher of course trying to teach the vanity project a lesson trying to teach them how to
40:51operate as bryce donovan goes for the pin and can't even get one
40:56after staying alive though relentless and fighting back
40:59but bryce right on him and he really is the heavy for swipe right
41:06timothy thatcher in desperate need of a win he has not scored one yet in evolve and this is a
41:11man
41:11who is trying to revive his career in evil these guys are going to push each other past their limits
41:18past exhaustion past pain it's really what it's going to come down to which is what about this
41:23it's going to come down to who wants it more people who really needs this and wants this win more
41:28bryce donovan trying to wear out timothy thatcher not a bad idea some stiff stiff punches from both of
41:37these men have you ever seen someone take the thatcher like this go toe to toe with them here
41:42we go pinfall one two not enough man bryce donovan just wants to get out of here with the w
41:48i'm sure he wants to go celebrate somewhere tonight with his friends in vanity project or at least stand
41:53there in an awkward dark fashion looking off into the distance hey he's the heavy for swipe right that's
41:59what you do timothy thatcher take it out of the ring and bryce donovan's going to join him on the
42:07outside he looks a little loopy but let me the more teeth thatcher loses the more he smiles and i
42:13think he just lost one right there hey say what you will very smart of the youngster to follow
42:18thatcher outside the ring and continue the attack you don't want to go to sleep on that savvy veteran
42:23timothy thatcher very aggressive not giving him a second to breathe and right now he's not able to
42:28breathe his vanity project from the vip section he's yelling in his ear well listen thatcher fancies
42:33himself to be the player coach of wwe id teaching youngsters along the way but right now he's got
42:38to figure it out for himself as he's in trouble and he still needs his first win in evolve what
42:45do
42:45you think a timothy thatcher christmas card looks like i mean really what do you mean what what is
42:51that what's the picture yeah what does he send out a family like like the one i don't know that's
42:55why
42:55i'm asking that with the kids i don't know if he does that oh he's asking if he's into the
43:00holidays
43:01it's hard to picture timothy thatcher sending out the family card with no teeth on the front
43:06i mean i guess it'll be an interesting look that's this is a guy who was in the first ever
43:10nxt pit
43:11match pinfall one two all right clearly he's got a few screws loose but in a good way vanity project
43:18looking on i'll say this about vanity project they're locked in swipe right and jackson drake
43:25clearly care about the results of this match for their guy going for that suplex again is he gonna
43:31get it this time not looking good wow savvy stuff from the youngster bryce donovan
43:38he is really proving that he is the muscle in the vanity project
43:44this could be trouble he hooks the leg bryce out of it one two i'll tell you what at this
43:49very moment
43:50robert is it me and i feel bad saying this thatcher feels like a little bit more coach than player
43:56at this moment you know i don't know i'll tell you what i know he wants to do he wants
44:00to make sure
44:01everyone is respecting evolve he wants to write any wrongs in evolve but can you win matches still
44:07that's the thing can he do two can he do two jobs at once are you saying that's right i
44:11think timothy
44:11thatcher cap and that's coming from a guy who loves the vanity project that's that's very very true
44:17oh thatcher's finding a way to give himself some room in a second to catch his breath certainly a
44:23way to use your head uh-oh we're going for chokeslam here no timothy thatcher is not having it
44:31and catches bryce donovan with an enziguri he's summoning the strength and power from the crowd here
44:38at wwe evolve who would love to see timothy thatcher get his first win he's going for it again third
44:44time can he get it he just cannot seem to get it done here with bryce donovan right right a
44:51fourth
44:51time and he gets it is that enough uh-oh here come your boys of course swipe right who were
45:01banned from
45:01ringside earlier you know what one two three here is your winner bryce donovan makes me absolutely
45:16sick to my stomach they weren't supposed to be ringside and in the end you see what happened
45:22as finally thatcher connected and immediately here comes ricky smokes and brad baler
45:30the distraction's enough and it caused a black hole slam for the victory and now timothy thatcher
45:38is still winless in evolve and look at the embarrassment the biggest win of bryce donovan's
45:47young career is huge embarrassment for the veteran timothy thatcher who has to lay there as vanity project
