The WWE Evolve Women’s Champion is certainly strong like her name suggests, but even she can’t win a 2v1, and that’s why someone had to come to her aid. Can there be a Kali Connection between her and The Queen of Harts? Or will #BigKatKita & The Real Deal sink the champ and The BOAT?

Winners: Kali Armstrong & Natalya, by submission

Well, okay, Kali didn’t need Natty tagging in at the end, but she admits that’s a good combo. Kali & Natty humble Zayda & Lyons for at least tonight, but Natty glanced at the title. Is the Queen of Harts looking to Evolve as a champion?

Stevie Turner talks with Sean Legacy & Timothy Thatcher.

The “Prime Minster” of Evolve says the last few weeks have been some of the biggest in this brand’s short history. She thanks Legacy & Thatcher for helping shape the landscape. Legacy appreciates that, and knows her time is short, so he’ll get to business. He wants first crack at Jackson Drake and that Evolve Championship. Stevie appreciates his initiative, but he’s not the only one who wants it, and she’s already several inquiries. Legacy says he’ll do whatever it takes to be the guy. What if it was a gauntlet against Vanity Project? Thatcher says, “You wanna do what?” Legacy just wants to know, would that be enough?

Stevie double checks: Legacy takes on and beats every man in Vanity Project in a row? Yes, that would make him #1 contender. Then let’s do it! They shake on it and Legacy heads out. Thatcher shakes his head, and says Legacy will just have to learn the hard way. Can Super Sean make it through Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes and Bryce Donovan, just to get after Jackson Drake?

Backstage interview with Jordan Oasis and Marchs Mathers.

Chuey Martinez is with The Nomad and Philly’s Finest and says we’ve been following both men’s journeys. A WWE ID Showcase is here! What’s going through their heads? Oasis says he was looking out the window on the bus, rolling down the I-4 on his way here, and he couldn’t help but think of Jackson Drake. That’s because Drake is also WWE ID, and he is the inaugural WWE Evolve Champion. Now, Oasis didn’t put miles and miles on his boots, and ride for hours and hours on buses, only to get this far. His journey to become Evolve Champion starts tonight!

Mathers stops Oasis there, and says if we’re talking journeys and moments, this is Mathers’ Evolve in-ring debut. This is a moment he has pictured over a thousand times. And while Oasis is a big man, he and Mathers have the same goals, and only one can get there first. And Mathers has all the confidence in the world that it will be him. Chuey says the showcase is up next! Which one of these world-traveled wrestlers will take that huge step towards the title?

Masyn Holiday & Layla Diggs talk in the locker room.

Masyn knows a lot is going on, and honestly someone here has to know what is going on. First Brinley Reece was attacked, then Dani Palmer, then Carlee Bright. That’s pretty wild. Layla asks, “Is it? Because Zara, we haven’t seen you in a few weeks.” Jin Tala says she and Kendal Grey were just thinking the same thing. Kendal says Zara has to be the attacker! Zara says she didn’t do it. Then does she have proof? No, but that’s not her style. If you got issue with her, let’s settle it in the ring. Okay, let’s do it! The locker room is on edge, but will the Petite Powerhouse prove her innocence?

WWE ID Showcase: Marcus Mathers VS Jordan Oasis!

While Sean Legacy wants to run the gauntlet, these two have been working their way up the indies and are now ready to Evolve. But will Philly’s Finest make a huge splash in his debut? Or will the Nomad prove that he belongs?
