Mathew’s AJPW Champion Carnival B Block Results & Review: Part 5
We’re now onto part five of the B Block for the Champion Carnival! We take look at the next four shows for All Japan’s top tournament of the year!

We’re now onto part five of the B Block for the Champion Carnival! We take look at the next four shows for All Japan’s top tournament of the year!
Both, Andrew and I have had a lot of catching up to do and we’re hoping to get it at least closer to the finals live as best we can with our busy schedules.
We so far have one elimination on my block with Takashi Yoshida having only one match left with six points, meaning he’s unable to catch up even if he won.
This next set should hopefully show who has a better chance and who doesn’t. Let’s not waste any time as we…dive right in.

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Yoshitatsu vs. Sam Adonis
Review: Our first match of this show is Yoshitatsu taking on Sam Adonis. Sam is tied for last place with Joe Doering and if Sam were to lose here, then he’ll be considered mathematically eliminated from the tournament. Yoshitatsu only has four matches to go, so he has some time to try and catch up if he can win this one right here. Will we see another elimination here or does Sam hold on just a bit longer?
Yoshi, I’m starting to like you and all but please don’t try to dance like Sam again because while kinda funny, still pretty terrible. Besides that whole little fiasco, it wasn’t a terrible match at all but still could’ve been better. I liked how technical it was at the beginning surprisingly enough but again, still not the best match. It was more entertaining than anything since Sam is more of a character than he is a wrestler in these past few matches and thankfully, he didn’t bother going for the chair or anything. Yoshi would kick Sam before he could charge at him from the turnbuckle and hits the Tornado DDT for a two count. Yoshi would pick Sam up but Sam quickly lifts him on his shoulders for a Death Valley Driver for a two count and would quickly go for a Splash off the top rope as Yoshi kicks out again. Sam is getting furious as he climbs to the top again for a Swanton Bomb but Yoshi rolled out of the way and applied the Koji Clutch as Sam would tap out, making himself eliminated!

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Suwama vs. Joel Redman
Review: Our next match is Suwama taking on Joel Redman. Both men have about three matches left but Suwama is in a better position with the standings as he could tie for first if he can beat Joel right here. If Joel can win, then he keeps himself in the game a little bit longer while it not hurting Suwama either. Should be an interesting battle of styles but only one of them will win. Will Suwama reach the top or will Joel find a way to beat the former ace?
Stuff like this makes me enjoy Joel as he’s just so good at his technical ability that I’m going to start following him more after this tournament. Joel and Suwama were able to go back and forth with the chain wrestling as even Suwama was impressed with him a little bit. When Joel was done toying with Suwama with his wrestling ability, Suwama would retaliate and have Joel to the outside to slam his back against the turnbuckle post and has that opening to work on his back. I’ve enjoyed the combination of styles between two of these men that the match was just a joy to watch. Joel would do what he can to try and put him away as he would hit the knees off the top rope and Suwama would kick out of it. Joel would try to go for the Spinning Tombstone as Suwama would pick him up instead and hits a Running Powerslam and gets up to hit him with a Lariat. Suwama hits the Backdrop and looks like this could be over but Joel will find a way to kick out at two! Suwama looks to end it with the Last Ride as Joel would grab his legs to put him down and flip over him for the pin and Suwama kicked out. Joel would try to go for the Backslide as Suwama fights out of it but Joel would turn it into a Crucifix and gets Suwama down to get the surprise victory!

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Naoya Nomura vs. Daichi Hashimoto
Review: Our final match for this show is Naoya Nomura taking on Daichi Hashimoto. Naoya is still in the lead as he could solidify it a lot more if he were to win this match right here. Daichi still has two wins and only two losses as he has time to rack up some points here but a loss here would make it a little bit difficult. Will Naoya get another win to have a higher chance of winning his block or does Daichi get more points on the board?
Both have similar styles with technical and striking but the only difference is that Nomura is more agile and has plenty of energy to give him that slight advantage. The beginning was rather slow with the chain wrestling and just testing each other out but it did its job with telling a story in the ring. I feel like Daichi could be better than how he is now if he does put his mind to it since he really does have a ton of untapped potential that he’s not letting out. Nomura keeps on getting better and I have no doubt that a Triple Crown Championship will be in his hands by this year or next year for sure.
Daichi would hit Nomura with a Shining Wizard onto the turnbuckle to knock him down as Nomura kicked out at two. Daichi would then hit a Falcon Arrow for a two count and the two would go back and forth with the punches until Daichi ended it with a kick to his chest. Nomura would lift him for a Scoop Slam and drops Daichi on his head before hitting a Splash off the top rope as Daichi kicked out at two. Nomura lifted him up for a Death Vallet Driver as Daichi fights out of it to apply a Sleeper Hold. Nomura hits Daichi with a Spear for a two count after he rolled him up and Nomura went for another Death Valley Driver as Daichi countered it with a Falcon Arrow for a two count. Daichi hits Nomura with a PK and would then finally hit the Shining Wizard to get the victory! Very solid match and now Nomura has one more match left.

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Yoshitatsu vs. Joel Redman
Review: Our first match on this show is Yoshitatsu taking on Joel Redman. This match is important for these two as the winner of this one will be tied for first place since Naoya lost at the last show, meaning the winner of this one will have eight points. If Joel does lose though, he’ll also be mathematically eliminated. Will Yoshi tie for first and eliminate Joel or does Joel hold on longer?
If you’ve seen Joel’s matches in this tournament, then you know how technical it can be with the chain wrestling and he can do it with just about anyone it seems and well might I add. While he was chain wrestling with Yoshi, Yoshi would roll into a ball before Joel would flip over him as it gave us a little bit of humor in the match as Joel looked stumped on what he would be doing until he started to grab his leg, but Yoshi would counter it into a pin and that was a close one. Yoshi keeps on impressing his audience with his performances in this match and I really do hope Joel comes back to All Japan in some capacity again since he’s been a joy. It looked like Yoshi’s knee tweaked a bit when he got pushed off the Tornado DDT as it looked like Joel doing leg work to Yoshi has been working since he would do submissions on his leg. There would be a point where Yoshi was getting some kicks in and before he could hit the last one, Joel grabbed his leg to hit a Dragon Screw and applies the Single Leg Crab as Yoshi grabbed the rope, but Joel would see he’s on the other side of the apron and brings him in with a Suplex. Yoshi would have Joel on his shoulders but Joel held him up for a Tombstone as Yoshi kicked out again. Joel attempts the knees from the top rope until Yoshi moves and hits the Codebreaker of Jericho, and quickly applies the Koji Clutch as Joel tapped out. Yoshi is now tied with Nomura and Joel is now eliminated.

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Daichi Hashimoto vs. Joe Doering
Review: Our next match is Joe Doering taking on Daichi Hashimoto. Joe is currently tied for last with Sam Adonis but he can turn it around here if he wins this match against Daichi to keep himself in the race or he’ll also be mathematically eliminated. Daichi could have a chance to tie for first if he wins here and join Yoshitatsu and Naoya Nomura for the lead. Will Daichi be able to make a comeback or will Joe crush him?
It’s adorable thinking Daichi could win a battle of strength over Joe but I will give him credit for trying despite failing at the end of it. More underdog typestyle with Daichi as he gets destroyed by Joe for the most part but Daichi did get a chance to kick him down to his knees before hitting a Shining Wizard at the back of his head to gain a small fit of an advantage. Joe is another good opponent for Daichi to make him fight people in different styles and sizes like how he does in BJW but still a nice test for himself. Daichi would get Joe down with a Dragon Screw as Joe is dazed into the corner as Daichi runs with a Shining Wizard into the corner and tops it off with a DDT but Joe kicked out of it. Daichi would try to lift Joe up as Joe tackled him into the corner and hits him with a Lariat and Elbow Drop combo for a two count. Joe calls for the Revolution Bomb as Daichi flipped him over and it looked like he was gonna go for a Lariat but Joe catches him with a Diving Body Press to get the pinfall victory and stays in the race.

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Suwama vs. Jake Lee
Review: Our main event for this show is Jake Lee taking on Suwama. Both men are tied with six points and a win here will put them in the top position with Nomura and Yoshitatsu. The loser, however, will be in a very tight spot but not out yet as they cannot lose any more matches after this while the guy that defeated them would have to lose. This will be an interesting turnout but which one of them will win and which one will struggle?
One of the matches I’ve been waiting for is finally happening and it’s safe to say that it delivered big time and my favorite match out of my block as of right now because it was everything I expected it to be. Jake proving himself against one of All Japan’s best to show that his main event status for the company as he has shown that time and time again ever since his return. Suwama still has plenty left in the tank to show his worth to the company as he can still go and deliver us great matches whenever he can despite his ace days are done. The tables did turn for Jake when his back got slammed against the turnbuckle post and Suwama would capitalize on that to weaken his arsenal or make him tap out, whichever is easier for him,
Suwama would attempt to go for the Last Ride to try and finally hit it in the tournament but Jake Lee would flip him over despite having a bad back to save himself a little longer. Suwama would hit Jake with a German Suplex but Jake would get up right away to charge at him with a knee to the chest as the both of them are down. This is where Jake starts getting deadly as he would just keep kneeing Suwama in the chest and would pin him for a two count. Suwama would slowly get up and as Jake charged at him, Suwama would be able to catch him for a Backdrop as the two of them are down again. Suwama is fired up as he hits a Dropkick to the corner and a Discus Lariat and Jake kicked out at two. Suwama would catch Jake’s leg and would lift him up for a Powerbomb and Jake kicked out at two again as Suwama doesn’t know what to do now to try and put him away. Suwama attempts the Backdrop as Jake reversed it into a Headlock Takedown to get out of it and would hit Suwama with an Enziguri to the chest and hits a PK for a two count! Suwama was able to hit him with another Lariat and picks him up for the Backdrop and as he was about to pin him, the referee had to stop him for a moment to see if Jake was even conscious. Jake would slowly start to get up to show he’s not done yet but Suwama has other plans as he would hit the Backdrop Driver for the victory! What a match.

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Yoshitatsu vs. Daichi Hashimoto
Review: The only match we got for this show is Yoshitatsu taking on Daichi Hashimoto. Daichi has a chance to redeem his recent loss against Joe as he’ll join the ranks of first place with Yoshitatsu, Naoya Nomura, and Suwama. If Daichi were to lose though, he’ll join Sam Adonia, Joel Redman, and Takashi Yoshida for being mathematically eliminated. Yoshitatsu has a chance to take the top spot and secure his chances of winning but he would need to win this one right here. Will Daichi join the ranks or does Yoshitatsu move up to the lead?
This nothing fully spectacular happened in this match, it was still solid enough to get by without many complaints. The first half did start slow with the chain wrestling and the two of them trying to get the best of each other. I think it’s safe to say that Yoshitatsu has been winning me over during the entire tournament as his performances haven’t been bad at all and I really hope this continues outside of it because he could possibly be an All Asia Heavyweight Champion down the road or possible Triple Crown contender, he just needs to keep it up with whatever it is he’s doing. Daichi was also able to stand his ground with a more even fight instead of just another bigger guy for another obstacle to face for him. One botch in the match did hurt it a little bit as Yoshitatsu would trip during the Tornado DDT and didn’t fully connect it, but he would try to make up for it as he goes for a series of kicks to his chest before hitting the Fisherman Suplex for a two count. Daichi would hit Yoshi with a series of kicks and knees before he charged towards him as Yoshi caught him for the Koji Clutch but Daichi would quickly try to pin him as Yoshi kicked out. Daichi would pick him up to hit the Falcon Arrow for a two count but Daichi would quickly hit Yoshi with a Shining Wizard on the back of his head and then one more to his face as he gets the victory to stay in the race, tied for first place!

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Joe Doering vs. Joel Redman
Review: Our first match on this show is Joe Doering taking on Joel Redman. This will be Joel’s final match in the Champion Carnival as he already fought all eight of his opponents, meaning he won’t be apart of the block final on the April 28th show. Joe has a slim chance of making it into the final but he would have to win here in order for that to happen. Joel is already eliminated but that doesn’t mean he can cause Joe to fail here as well. Will Joe be able to stay alive or does Joel bring Joe down with him?
I love how Joel was able to make all of his opponents do some type of chain wrestling in his matches for the Carnival, it’s great. Joe looked like he was gonna win after having him down from the test of strength but Joel used his legs to snap Joe’s arm a little and was quite clever. Both were able to play to their strengths with Joel trying to out wrestle him while Joe just used his power to push him around the ring. Joel looked like he was able to catch him in an Abdominal Stretch but Joe would flip him over and give him a stiff shoulder tackle. Joe had him up for a Stalling Suplex and walked around the ring for a little bit before he dropped him as Joel kicked out at two. Joe looked like he was gonna go for another Suplex as Joel reversed it into a suplex as he finally lifted him up this time and Joe kicked out at two. Joel would climb to the top to try and hit the Diving Knee Drop but he saw that Joe rolled out of the way and was able to catch himself, but it was too late as Joe hits the Diving Body Press to secure the victory and tie for first place with the others. Joel, it’s been a lot of fun seeing you in All Japan and I hope you return for future tours.

Champion Carnival B Block Match
Sam Adonis vs. Jake Lee
Review: Our final match for the show and article is Jake Lee taking on Sam Adonis. Since Joe Doering is able to survive another day, Jake Lee would need to do the exact same thing here or he’ll be eliminated from the tournament. Sam is already mathematically eliminated but he could use his last two matches to ruin their chances of winning at least. Will Jake be able to win or does Sam ruin it?
This felt like more of a cooldown match for Jake after the beatdown he took from Suwama from the previous show, but it was solid enough to get by and was one of Sam’s better performances for sure. It was a basic wrestling match with chain wrestling, some strikes, few moves, and they were able to do it in a crisp fashion and make it entertaining for the timeframe they had together. Jake would lift Sam up after giving him a knee to the chest but Sam would pick him up for the Death Valley Driver and goes to the top rope to hit the Splash as Jake kicked out at two. Jake used that time to roll him up Crucifix style as Sam kicked out and Jake quickly had him for a cradle as Sam kicked out again. The two would share a small sequence with Sam doing a Sunset Flip for Jake to roll out of it and Sam tripped him to apply the Cattle Mutilation until Jake had his foot on the rope. Jake delivered a knee to the chest for a two count and gets him up to hit the Backdrop Driver as he’s still in the race and we have a six-way tie!
Rating: Eric Bischoff
Overall: It’s been a great four days for the Carnival as we had a lot of solid matches from all of them this time around and we now have a clear list of who has a chance to win. The block final coming up next is going to be intense as it can be anyone’s game for our top six.
Favorite Match: Suwama vs. Jake Lee
Least Favorite Match: Yoshitatsu vs. Sam Adonis
Score: 8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Kali Armstrong is here!
The fans cheer the INAUGURAL WWE Evolve Women’s Champion as she goes to the ring, mic in her hand and belt on her shoulder. The fans chant, “You Deserve It!” and Kali says, “Oh yeeeeeah! I told y’all! The first-ever Evolve Women’s Champion, Kali Armstrong. Hey, I like the way that sounds. How ’bout y’all? You like the way that sounds?” The fans cheer, and Kali says she did what she said she was gonna do. She has been here for a year and a half, and this is what she’s on. They say it gets harder from here, but that’s fine. She ain’t ducking any of these chicks!
Kali is ready to go at it with each and every one of them, so that when she gets to NXT, they’ll know who the Difference Maker is. She is at the top of the Evolve Women’s Division, so she wants to know: Who is her first challenger? And out walks Zayda Steel. She tells Kali that seriously, she wants to be the first to congratulate the first-ever WWE Evolve Women’s Champion! Give it up for Kali, everybody! The fans do cheer, and Zayda says that Fatal 4 Way was a classic. But she realized something: They have a lot in common! They are both history makers! Kali is the first champion, and everyone already knows this, but Zayda is the first WWE ID prospect.
So from one difference maker to another, Zayda just wants to say… Kali is luck. Huh? But wait! Zayda is interrupted by Nikkita Lyons! Lyons tells Kali, “Hey, girl! Congratulations, new champ! I’m Big Kat Kita, but you already knew that. But it’s so good to meet you, for real. Like, I’m really honored to meet you. But I already talked with Stevie Turner, and I told her that once they crown a new champ to call me. So here I am.” Lyons stops Zayda before she says anything to say Zayda is cute, and she does like her. But when it comes to gold, Lyons is not afraid to pounce.
Kali tells them they’re both doing a lot of big talking, but they’re doing nothing to prove they want this title. Lyons says, “Bet.” And then Lyons & Zayda jump Kali! The fans boo as they mug her 2v1! Kali shoves Lyons, kicks Zayda, then fires hands! But Lyons THROAT CHAKRA KICKS Kali down! Zayda rains down fists, but wait! Here comes Natalya! The fans fire up as the Queen of Harts rushes out here! She dodges Lyons, TACKLES Zayda, and she has the legs! Lyons drags Zayda to safety and Natty stares them down. The fans cheer Natty and she makes sure Kali is alright. Kali is a bit salty even here as she snatches the belt back, but will The BOAT help her sink Lyons & Zayda?
Carlee Bright has been attacked!
That makes three women in about as many weeks! And this is right before her match tonight! A ref calls in medical, and all Carlee knows is someone shoved her into the chair rack. Just who is it stalking Evolve stars and taking them out?
Evolve returns and…
Stevie Turner is with Carlee and a WWE medical trainer. Stevie apologizes that this has happened, this shouldn’t be happening here in Evolve. Carlee doesn’t blame Stevie, and insists she can go. Stevie asks who did it but Carlee says they were in a black hoodie, and it was a drive-by attack. The doc says there are no serious injuries, so it is up to Carlee. Carlee says she will compete. Stevie says, “If you’re sure, girl.”
Keanu Carver speaks.
“Tonight means something to me, man. Those other three? They just want the glory, the prestige, the fame. Nah, that ain’t me. For me, that title is my ticket out. And I’ll be damned if I go back to the streets of DC. Y’all don’t get what I had to do to get here. So when I step into that ring with them three, I’ma beat the brakes off them boys! From the streets of DC to the Evolve Championship, I’ma show y’all what I’m about! Then y’all gonna remember the name, Keanu Carver.”
Sean Legacy speaks.
With Timothy Thatcher by his side, Super Sean says, “This is it, this is it. My moment. Eight long years for this. Eight long years.” Sean says Timothy taught him everything. Timothy says Sean is ready. Sean says damn right he’s ready! It’s time for Sean to create his legacy!
Jin Tala VS Carlee Bright!
Another prospect from LFG is ready to Evolve! Will “The Detonator” have an explosive debut? Or will Evolve’s future still be Bright?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally, the two tie up, Jin goes for the bad arm but Carlee pushes Jin away. They go again, and Jin goes after the bad arm. Jin double wristlocks, pushes on it, and pushes on it again! Carlee endures, but Jin hits a double wristlock takedown! Cover, ONE, but Jin stays on the arm. Carlee fights up, Jin wrenches, but Carlee slips through to wrench back. Carlee trips Jin, steps over, and LA MAGISTROL! ONE, but Carlee arm-drags! Carlee keeps on Jin’s arm but Jin fights up. The fans rally, Jin moves around, but Carlee wrenches and hammerlocks. Jin reaches back and switches the hammerlock!
Carlee switches, sunset flips, TWO! Carlee DROPKICKS Jin! The fans rally, Carlee whips but Jin blocks! Jin reverses, Carlee goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Carlee hurries to facelock Jin, Jin scoops, but Carlee fights to keep the arm. Jin wrenches and WRINGS Carlee’s arm! Jin KNEES and UPPERCUTS the bad arm, then gives it a CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Carlee toughs it out but Jin stays on that arm. The fans rally as Jin traps both arms in a modified butterfly! Carlee endures, fights up, but Jin powers those arms back again! Carlee refuses to give up and she stands again! Jin shifts to a ghost pin, TWO!
Carlee has a leg, Jin kicks her away, and Jin runs up. Carlee dodges, ELBOWS, and then ELBOWS again! The fans rally, Carlee ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls, but Jin dumps her out! Carlee still headlocks for a BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Jin stays in this and Carlee shakes out her bad arm. The fans rally as Carlee facelocks, but Jin powers out! Carlee blocks a kick, spins Jin, and CODE BREAKER! Carlee sets up, STANDING MOONSAULT, but Jin dodges! Jin steps over onto the arm for a STANDING ARMBAR!! The “Bakunawa Bind!” Carlee TAPS, Jin wins!
Winner: Jin Tala, by submission
Carlee tried to fight at less than 100% and it cost her! Will Jin Tala’s technical skill be just the thing to make her a star?
Evolve shares footage from last week.
It was after the Women’s Championship Elimination Match that Kylie Rae returned backstage, only to be attacked by Wendy Choo! They brawled and Wendy would get the advantage by throwing Kylie into the garage door, and then throwing a garbage can onto Kylie! Refs broke that up, but will nothing stop wicked Wendy from having her revenge?
Chuey Martinez talks with Kylie Rae.
He says Wendy is still haunting her, and Kylie says ever since coming to Evolve, Wendy keeps sticking her nose in Kylie’s business. Sure, Wendy won those two singles matches, but Kylie eliminating Wendy should’ve ended it. And Kylie hates to admit this, but Wendy is the only person here that makes Kylie not so smiley. And after last week, Kylie is so ready to- Chantel Monroe says Kylie should call it quits. Kylie gets on Chantel’s nerves no matter if she’s smiley or angry. Chantel storms off, but both Masyn Holiday & Layla Diggs say pay that no mind. Chantel’s mirror is the only thing that shows the real her.
The Vanity Project hypes up Jackson Drake.
Ricky Smokes says Jackson has nothing to worry about! Who even knows if that was the real Lince Dorado anyway? Who trusts someone that wears a mask? Smokes gives Bryce Donovan a pat on the chest and Bryce smacks him back. Brad Baylor tells Jackson that he is the Wild Card, Heartbreak Drake! Do they all think he’s gonna be the first Evolve Champion? Hundos fo’ sho’, bro! Jackson is the future! Zayda adds that The Vanity Project is the future. Jackson says that’s right, and he’s known that since he was 13 years old when he first stepped into a wrestling ring and never looked back.
Jackson tells they all know he’s the Wild Card and Heartbreak Drake, but after tonight, the world is going to know him as the first-ever WWE Evolve Champion! The Vanity Project is ready, but will the Carolina Reaper take the title home? Or will the odds be against him?
Edris Enofe speaks.
“Man, been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. I came back from a gruesome shoulder injury, and it hurt. It hurt for real. But what hurt me even worse was the fact that I couldn’t compete in front of each and every one of y’all. But now things change. Things will be different now. Because tonight, I change the entire WWE Universe’s mind. Tonight, I go from Edris Enofe the tag team wrestler to Edris Enofe the singles superstar! Tonight, Edris Enofe, the Epitome of Excellence, the EOE becomes the first-ever WWE Men’s Evolve Champion!”
The High Ryze is here!
Wes Lee leads the way for Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe and fans boo. Wes has the mic, and he says, “Now, I can bet that none of y’all expected to see me out here on Evolve. Look, that’s understandable, especially with the boys out here dominating completely on their own the past couple of weeks, I haven’t had any reason to. But see, last week, I wanted to come to Evolve and get a better understanding of what it’s all about. They call this the evolution of professional wrestling or something like that. When I walk around and talk to the kids in the locker room, I can see it. They have big dreams, a lot of potential, and they have a lot of hope that one day they are going to become the next big thing.”
Wes laughs, and then apologizes. It isn’t funny, it’s just cute. It is! It’s okay! But see, he was the same way. Once upon a time, he wanted to come into they business and make it the best that he possibly could. He wanted to change the world, and he did! The fans do cheer that. Wes says when he walks around here, what he really sees is that they’re all naive, maybe even delusional, to think that they’re going to steal Wes’s spot one day! He has busted his ass, broken his back, all for this business, and has barely scratched the surface. Look: a Dusty Cup Winner, two-time NXT Tag Team Champion, and the greatest North American Champion ever, and he’s not even done!
So to everyone in Evolve right now, listen very closely. WES is the gatekeeper now! You wanna make it to NXT? You gotta make it through him! Well, hold on, because here come Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel! The fans cheer for “CAAA-PPUCCINO! CAAA-PPUCCINO!” Jones tells Wes that he sees what Wes is “brewing up.” Tyson & Tyriek are impressive, and Wes’s mentorship is paying off. Wes asks why Jones is out here. Or do the barista and his buddy want a rematch? Wes is sure the boys are fine beating them up one more time. Jones says he and Cartwheel aren’t here for a tag match. Jones wants a match… with Wes!
Wes is calling himself a gatekeeper, and sure, he has been the Human Highlight Reel for years. But whatever Wes has been sipping on is tasting pretty bitter. Bitter!? No! Wes has just been around the block long enough to know better! The fans chant, “Bitter~! Bitter~!” Wes says he isn’t just some happy-to-be-here kid walking around with a cup of coffee. Jones says hate on him all you want. But if you wanna be the measuring stick, Jones wants to see how he measures up. Jones feels he has what it takes, and the best way to back that up is to go 1v1 with one of the staples of NXT! The fans cheer that!
Wes looks Jones up and down, then tells him, “You really should’ve stayed behind that counter, dog. You want the match? Next week, you’ve got it.” Will the Cardiac Kid keep Evolve down? Or will he get the jitters from facing Cappuccino Jones?
Je’Von Evans is backstage!
Evolve Media asks the Young OG why he’s here, and Je’Von says he loves this! He had to come check out Evolve, but he’s here mostly to present the title to the first-ever Evolve Champion. Those boys are locked in! Je’Von notices Jordan Oasis walking by. Je’Von says hey to Oasis and asks why he’s out in the parking lot. Just walking. Je’Von says he is a big fan of Oasis, and keep running, your time is coming. Oasis appreciates that coming from Je’Von. Je’Von says he’s gotta go watch the match, but he’ll see Oasis around. Will this endorsement from NXT’s future help Oasis become Evolve’s future?
Marcus Mathers speaks.
“I’ve been waiting a very long time to introduce myself to the WWE Universe. My name is Marcus Mathers. I’ve been wrestling for about six years now, with way over 650 matches under my belt, proving I’m not just Philly’s Finest, but I’m the finest in WWE ID. And speaking of WWE ID, this was made for men and women to use this to the best of their ability, to the max. And lemme tell you, nobody used WWE ID like I did. And with the support of WWE ID, I’ve been able to travel more, get more matches, and train with the best of the best. And now I bring all that knowledge right here, right now. The WWE ID prepared me for Evolve.” Is Mathers ready to Evolve?
WWE Evolve Championship Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match: Sean Legacy VS Edris Enofe VS Keanu Carver VS Jackson Drake!
While Evolve started fourteen weeks ago, the journey to this moment was very different for each man in this match. But one thing they all share in common is the hard work, grit and determination they put into their careers. Whose journey culminates in a historic achievement that will be remembered forever?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, but only one man survives to put their name on it!
The bell rings and Drake already talks trash on all three opponents. Keanu DECKS him! Drake tumbles out, Keanu eggs the others on, so Legacy & Enofe go after him! But then Keanu shoves them both away! And he DOUBLE LARIATS them! The fans fire up and Keanu ELBOWS Enofe in a corner! Keanu runs corner to corner to ELBOW Legacy! Then he runs back at Enofe, but Enofe dodges and Drake GAMANGIRIS! Enofe runs to SLING-DOG! Drake runs up, Enofe dodges and SLINGBLADES! Legacy back suplexes but Enofe lands out! Enofe kicks low, runs, and jumps onto Legacy to DROPKICK Drake!
Drake tumbles out, Legacy runs in, but Enofe TOSSES him! Enofe KNEES Keanu in the corner for good measure, then he FLIES! Down go Drake and Legacy! The fans fire up and Enofe goes up a corner! Enofe CROSSBODIES Keanu down, covers, TWO!! Keanu survives, Enofe is a bit surprised, and he reels Keanu in. Keanu fights the suplex to suplex, but Enofe knees free! Enofe runs, but into an ELBOW! Keanu scoops Enofe for the CORKSCREW POWERSLAM! Cover, Keanu ELIMINATES Enofe!! As fast as Enofe was moving, Enofe is out of this match! Legacy and Drake see the intimidating power of Keanu as Evolve goes to break.
Evolve returns as Keanu SPLASHES both Legacy & Drake in a corner! Keanu then runs to DOUBLE POUNCE!! The fans fire up with Keanu, and he scoops Legacy to SLAM! Then he scoops Drake to FALL AWAY SLAM! Keanu didn’t even need to fall to throw Drake across the ring! Keanu storms up, puts Drake on the top rope, but Drake BOOTS Keanu away! Legacy MISSILE DROPKICKS Keanu down, and Drake adds a MOONSAULT! Cover, ONE!! Keanu shocks everyone, especially Legacy and Drake. He dares them to keep fighting, because that title’s still gonna be his! Legacy runs up but Keanu DECKS him!
Drake BOOTS Keanu, but Keanu scoops him! Legacy SUPERKICKS Keanu, Drake SUPERKICKS Keanu, and then Legacy GAMANGIRIS in the corner! Drake hits the UNALIVING! Legacy adds the 450 SPLASH!! DOUBLE COVER, they ELIMINATE Keanu!! And then there were two! The fans rally up behind “LEGACY! LEGACY!” as he and Drake stare down. They stand up and step to each other. Drake grins and kicks, but Legacy blocks! Drake avoids Legacy’s superkick, but Legacy avoids Drake’s roundhouse! Drake ducks an enzigiri to deadlift, but Legacy elbows free! Legacy runs but into Drake’s ELBOW! DOUBLE LARIATS collide!
Both men spring up, DOUBLE LARIATS collide again! And then Legacy roars! Drake dodges the lariat but not the SUPERKICK! Legacy storms up but into a SUPER PUNCH! Legacy rebounds to HEADBUTT! Drake ROUNDHOUSES! Legacy ENZIGIRIS! But Drake waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Legacy roars and rises again! SNAP GERMAN! Drake flounders, Legacy runs in, but Drake BOOTS him away. Drake goes up, but Legacy jumps up to get him! SECOND ROPE SPANISH FLY! And speaking of fly, Legacy goes up, out, and springboards for the 450!! Cover, TWO!! Drake survives and Legacy is stunned!
The fans rally up while Drake flounders away. Legacy huffs ‘n’ puffs and waistlocks Drake. Legacy then drags Drake up into a torture rack, but Drake CLAWS the eyes! The fans boo, but then Legacy TOSSES Drake! Drake HOTSHOTS Legacy, then KNEES him into ropes! Drake reels Legacy in for a suplex, and DROPS him on the ropes! Drake hurries up the corner, takes aim, and SWANTON BOMBS! Cover, TWO!! Legacy survives again but Drake stays on him! Handspring and LETHAL IN-JACKSON!! Cover, TWO!!! Legacy is still in this! But Drake SUPERKICKS him down! Cover, TWO!?! Legacy survives again and Drake is freaking out!
“This is Awesome!” as Legacy stirs. Drake grits his teeth, goes to a corner, and he waits on Legacy to get up. Drake runs in, but Legacy turns knee into drop toehold! S T F!!! Drake endures, flails, reaches out, and the fans are freaking out! Drake claws at the mat, crawls forward, but Legacy makes it a STRAITJACKET STF!!! Drake has one arm to reach out with, and he makes the ROPEBREAK!! Legacy lets go in frustration but the fans rally up again. Legacy rises, brings Drake up, but Drake still holds the ropes! The ref counts, Drake HOTSHOTS Legacy! Handsprings and LETHAL- Torture rack! SHAM- NO, Drake lands out to JUMP KNEE!
Drake goes to a corner, runs back in, UNALIVING!!! Cover, DRAKE WINS!!
Winner: Jackson Drake, by pinfall (INAUGURAL WWE Evolve Champion)
And Vanity Project rushes right out here to celebrate with their bro! It was certainly heartbreak for Enofe, Keanu and Legacy, but will the real tears be from all of us having to listen to Drake brag? Je’Von does present the belt to Drake, and Drake takes it from him, to bring Je’Von in for a hug! Old friends and rivals reunite in this moment, and this makes up for a bit of Drake’s bad attitude. But will this be the beginning of the Vanity Project Era? Or can someone save us from it before it begins?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode, and surprisingly only two matches. That said, less matches helped then maximize the main event, and also some story build. Another woman is attacked and we’re back to that gimmick around the Performance Center, but it can’t be Lyons when she and Zayda were beating up on Kali Armstrong. Wendy Choo is too obsessed with Kylie, so it can’t be her. Could they be quietly building up a female superstar who has been hiding in plain sight? They could do a great “It was me, Stevie! It was me all along!” with this. But that aside, a hurt Carlee makes for a protected loss to new girl, Jin Tala, who has a very creative submission finisher.
Speaking of Wendy and Kylie, good promo from Kylie but Chantel picking on her is a little too much like Jaida Parker having beef with Thea Hail over Thea’s positivity. Kylie VS Wendy should be a No Disqualification rematch so settle things once and for all. And I hope this story of Masyn knowing “the real Chantel” turns into something more. She keeps saying it, but she needs to confront Chantel on it a bit more forcefully. And as for the women’s title, Lyons would be an impressive first defense for Kali that Kali would certainly win. Zayda might be trickier, if only because she’s the bigger Heel and would totally cheat to win.
Very good promo from Wes with Cappuccino Jones, and now they’ll have a singles match, just as I expected from last week. The only odd thing is Wes says he is the gatekeeper now. Does that mean Lexis King just decided to be one and done? Is he going to do bigger things in NXT now? Anyway, good promo from Marcus Mathers, he’s finally getting his debut in Evolve and that will be a lot of fun. It does make me wonder who are the WWE ID Champions right now, and if they’ll ever show up with those belts on Evolve.
And great promos from all the Fatal 4 Way contenders tonight. Jackson Drake makes a lot of sense as the first champion. Enofe only just came back, he needs to build up. Keanu is powerful but then that’d mean two powerhouse champions so that’s redundant. Legacy is great, he can surely come around as a challenger, as Faces benefit from the chase. And with Drake holding up the title for Vanity Project, that will work with Zayda wanting the women’s title, and possibly Swipe Right asking about Evolve Tag Team Championships, really building the whole faction at once.
My Score: 8.7/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.5.2025
Monster’s Ball,, will Rosemary bring out Xia’s Darkside?

Tomorrow is a stupid late starting show but at least it’s not bleeding into a normal weekday. Not sure if I’ll cover it because the build has been bad, the shows have been bad and forcing me to be awake longer for a B show that very much may suck. Maybe tonight won’t be a miserable useless Go Home like they usually do. Could make things interesting…but I don’t have much faith anymore.
TNA is living off the brand and the fact fans genuinely want other things to flourish. But it’s not building off any good wrestling or story telling. So let’s see if something stops sucking.
.@_Iam_Elijah_ has one final message for TNA World Champion @_trickwilliams before they collide for the Championship at #TNAAgainstAllOdds!

Results:
Indi Hartwell vs Tasha Steelz
Tasha attacks Indi as the bell sounds, Forearms and Chops into Stomping a Mudhole in the corner and taunting the crowd. Indi turns the Irish Whip around and goes for her own chops Aussie Uppercut, Scoop Slam gets countered and Tasha hits a Headbutt, Indi stops her , throws her into the ropes another uppercut, Tasha powders, Indi wants a PK, Tasha blocks and throws Indi onto her face and starts stringing some short offense in. Triplicate Elbows into a near fall, Indi starts fighting back with forearms before she crashes and burns as Tasha kicks her knee out from under her. Tasha with the corner offense combo into the Sliced Bread for yet another 2.
The action is a little too slow for an opening match, not sure when this was filmed in in the grand scheme of things, but the crowd is kinda dead and this is sluggish. Even Indi’s resilient kick outs at 1 have no intensity and the crowd is asleep. After a few corner shots Indi finally starts a comeback, Uranage into Spinebuster for two. But this is really…too damn slow. Skyler is yelling at Hotch on the outside to hit Indi, he won’t Tasha argues too and Indi with the Big Boot into the Hurtz Don’t It.
After the match Ali comes out with his hair down looking like sexy mad 50 Shades Dom. Tasha is cowering, Ref and Tasha get attacked. Hotch stands up to Ali, and Ali just grins and they stare down. Maybe they’ll finally do something with Hotch. He’s talented, has a good look and Great Hands have been holding him back. Even though Hotch stood up for Tasha, she cowers out to walk up the ramp with Ali. Hotch is left alone in the ring.

Eric Young w/Losers vs Moose w/JDC
Armoury come out looking like Ciclope but somehow worse. I already hate this.
EY attacks at the bell sound cause of course, EY 10 count punches, Moose Manhattan Drop but EY stops him, EY Tree of Woe into the Petey Williams crotch stomp Oh Canada spot. JDC inadvertently distracts the ref, losers also distract…they get up to the refrain of Oh Canada, that might be the longest that spot happened ever. But Moose immediately hits a Go To Hell because pacing and psychology don’t exist in wrestling anymore. Everything this episode seems slow and the crowd sounds dead. Moose clocks EY trying to dive and Apron Uranage into Jacknife on the steps.
Moose is milking the 10 count, EY barely beats it…Body Drops Moose because again…psychology oh and EY hits a Dive cause that’s exactly what happens when you barely beat a 10 count. Reverse Irish in the ring, EY Flair Flip in the corner, Moose tries to cut off but gets pushed, Crossbody and Moose jumps into it far too obvious, Chop Spot, EY hits the ropes, Moose hits a Pump Kick into Escalara Crossbody and Kip Up, EY pulls off a Spicolli Driver for 2. This whole match just feels like moves for the sake of stuff having to happen. This is about as engaging as wet farting the alphabet.
Backslide 2, Pump Kick from Moose, Discus Lariat from EY, EY wants Piledriver, hits it but JDC puts Moose’s foot on the rope. Nerd squad attacks JDC and they still look pathetic, Moose Low Blow since ref is distracted, Lights Out, Moose retains.
Heather & M by Elegance w/Personal Concierge vs Harley Hudson & Myla Grace
Harley and M start, Wristlock Takeover from Harley, a few nice chain wrestling spots, Myla tags in, Myla split ducks the kick, nice little kick combo punctuated with a Dropkick. Tandem Arm Wringer Sweep for two. M getting rocked, Heather slows down Harley so M finally takes the advantage and starts driving knees into Harley, Surf Board Stretch and Stomp combo by Heather. Heather keeps on her for a few punches and tags M back in for the old Knee in the Shoulder Blades stretch. Jaw Jacker from Harley, M stops it, but they struggle and Harley hits the Shoulder Tackles as Harley hunts for the tag, kicks off M and simultaneous tags happen. Myla beats down Heather, corner Leg Sweep, Dropkick Face Wash with a cute pose from Myla, M breaks up the pin, Harley and M fight on the outside, Myla looks for something but Concierge distracts, M with a Carbon Footprint to Myla’s backside as she’s setting up a move, Heather drops Myla, Heather his the Elegant Moonsault and Elegance wins!
Monster’s Ball Match: Rosemary vs Xia Brookside
I walked away at some point since this show has been pretty bad and I have no faith here. When I finally started paying attention, Xia hits Rosemary with a cookie sheet, she goes for the belt but Rosemary turns it around and takes Xia to the dungeon to whip her a few times. Rosemary unloads the trash can, puts the can in the corner, throws Xia into and Rosemary is standing tall into the commercial break. We come back and Rosemary is still just arguing with a ref, the crowd chants “Hockey Stick” so that proves it’s Canada. Xia tries to fight back, Rosemary with a very slow Side Slam on the trash can because she had to reposition it. Xia grabs the Hockey Stick for the pop, she breaks it over Rosemary, the peasants rejoice, Rosemary into the steps, Broken Wings into the trash can and Rosemary instantly gets up with a door. Why are all the matches so awful on psychology? Do we not sell anymore? Did I miss a memo? Were there TPS reports?
Xia drives Rosemary’s face into the steps. Suplex into the center of the ring, Door in the corner, time to see what’s behind Door Number 1. Suplex counter stand off through the door, Rosemary counters away from the door though. So more Chekov’s Gun fun. Rosemary misses with the belt, but then pulls off Upside Down choking her with the belt. Rosemary releases and Xia has the belt but Rosemary is collecting chairs and a staple gun. Belt whips block the staple attack, Xia finds a bag of Hockey pucks, empties them but Rosemary staples Xia’s stomach and charges into a Samoan Drop onto the pucks. Near fall, Xia starts grinding the puck into Rosemary’s face, more Cookie Sheet, another near fall. Xia wants a DDT and hits it on the chair, only 2 again. Arts and crafts with chairs spot, Xia hits her with the trash can lid, but Rosemary sits up and Spears Xia through the door.
Only a 2 count after the clear the rubble. Rosemary puts Xia on the chairs and looks to the top rope, Xia rises up and Brooksie Bomb through the chairs after she uses the lid to block the mist. 1-2-3.
Better match than it had any business being, but still enough sins to make it ok and nothing special.

The Kaiba Boys & Frankie Kazarian vs Leon Slater, Matt Hardy & Mike Santana
By the time everyone gets in the ring it’s 9:57 eastern…is this gonna be a 3 minute match? Matt starts with Kaz, Leon comes in quick, Poetry on Ryan, Kaz gets rocked, Leon tags back out to Matt…Extreme Elbow. Arm Wringer, Nic cheap shot and trip on Matt, Kaz with the Springboard Guillotine, Kaz rocks Matt, Nic tags in…Nice distracts ref and Ryan hits a cheap choke. Nic chokes Matt in the corner, claws at his face, Weaver Lock and Matt is fading. Matt Jaw Breaker tags out to Charisma Vacuum Slater, Feint kick misses Nic, hits Ryan, the Kaibas try to keep tandem but Lethal Injection from Slater makes em both powder, Plancha, Ryan tries to stop Leon, Nic looks for Danger Zone and gets it shrugged off and turned into a Blue Thunder Bomb. Frankie breaks the pin and posts Leon, Nic tunes up the band but eats the Leg Lariat. Simultaneous tag, Santana and Ryan are legal, Santana kills everyone, Double Rolling Buck Fifty but Ryan kicks out and gets in some strikes, tries to Leap Frog but eats a Death Valley Driver for only 2. Signature spams, Slater looks to finish Kaz, but Ryan crotches him, Victory roll no, Buck Fifty no, Cradle from Ryan is only a two, Rope runs and Ryan eats a Spin the Block for the win.
Overall Score: 5/10
Main even was like 7 minutes, the best match was the Monster’s Ball and I’m surprised to say that. Elijah’s promo was a Good Thing though, Santino had a solid promo, Hotch’s potential babyface turn is nice because I like him, he needs to get away from Skyler. Rascalz promo was well done as well. Masha can’t talk so I hope she loses the title tomorrow. I’d rather Lei look mean and sexy and yell at us in Mandarin than ever hear Masha speak English again.
Dani Luna showing she’s recovered from the concussion and sticking around in solo action was nice, Maggie Lee looked great in her match, Harley and Myla looked decent in the loss. Northern Armoury are still useless though. Only real complaint is not enough KC Navarro. He was only in the NXT clip. We need to be Blessed every episode.
You had to dig through the bad wrestling for decent story elements, but this was eventually more enjoyable than many of the recent episodes.
