PLAY BY PLAY
Randy Orton heads to the ring!
The Viper is here and ready to go after the Phenomenal One once again! But before getting to the match, Orton makes sure to give the fans his signature pose. Then he picks up a mic to say that he was asked to come out and “excitedly” welcome the fans to the show. But Orton isn’t really the “excited” kind. Instead, he invites a certain someone to join him in the ring. “AJ Styles, get yo’ ass out here!” And once he’s out here, Orton promises to show Styles why Orton is a favorite to win the Royal Rumble, and give him the three most dangerous letters in wrestling. But before Orton can finish spelling it out, Styles appears! Styles stares Orton down as he walks down the ramp and heads to the ring.
Styles gets in the ring and gets a mic of his own to ask Orton what’s going on here. Is Orton going to brag? Is Orton going to fake another injury? Yes, Orton got the better of Styles, but Styles actually believed Orton was really hurt. And how does he get repaid? With an RKO! And now Orton thinks he’s the favorite to win the Rumble? That’s not true! Why is that? Well maybe Orton wasn’t watching last week’s Raw, when A J Styles hit a great RKO! It was beautiful! Many, many people told Styles that it was the best RKO ever. Some even felt Styles’ RKO was phenomenal. Maybe that’s all Styles needs to beat 29 other men in the Rumble this year. And that will include Orton, Brock Lesnar and- Drew McIntyre is here!
The Scottish Stud struts on stage and down the ramp, already holding a mic. “And that includes Drew McIntyre.” McIntyre has had a really tough few weeks. He reached down to overcome No Way Jose and his conga line. But now McIntyre wants bigger and better. And here he has Styles and Orton. These two are having an RKO measuring contest. The Claymore’s bigger. Orton drops his mic while McIntyre wants him to look at him. McIntyre knows who is going to win the Rumble and will prove it here in Kentucky tonight. So we have two options: talking all night (boo~!); or a Triple Threat (YAY!) Well there you go! McIntyre inserts himself into the rivalry, will he take advantage and come out the big winner?

The Scottish Stud didn’t need to steal any moves, he just needed to steal the victory! McIntyre outsmarts two greats, but will he be the greatest Royal Rumble winner when The Beast is the first entrant?
Seth Rollins meets with the Authors of Pain.
“Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen.” Are they as excited about tonight as he is? Opportunities like this are rare. The first-ever Fist Fight is a demonstration. And as much as it hurts Rollins to say this, those that aren’t with them are against them. Hopefully Raw chooses to be with them. This is inevitable, no one can stop them. Akam and Rezar agree, Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe and The Big Show won’t stop them. “Because this is unstoppable. This is the destiny of Monday Night Raw!” Rollins sacrificed everything for this, and more than anyone will ever understand, to ensure that destiny remains intact. Tonight, they will impose their wills and show ALL of the WWE what happens when you do not embrace the vision of the Monday Night Messiah.

The Street Profits speak.
Ricochet makes the impossible possible. Tonight’s Raw is so fire, we need to call this Monday Night SMOKE! The Fist Fight is coming! Ford bobs ‘n’ weaves and asks Dawkins who he has winning. Dawkins is busy checking paperwork. Pay attention, man! Look fam, Dawkins wants to make sure everyone is ready with their phones to shout “WOOORLD STAAAR~” when someone gets knocked out. Besides, he is working on his Oscar ballad. Nice pop culture reference. But while the Oscars may have stars, Raw has constellations! Fist Fight, Aleister VS Murphy III, Asuka and Becky signing a contract, and Charlotte Flair getting even with Sarah Logan! Boys, hit the Queen’s music!

Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe discuss the Fist Fight.
Joe thinks Kevin is worried, but ti’s simple: the more vicious it gets, the better it is for them. So just go out and fight. What happens when they’re in fights? Their opponents are down in a puddle of their own fluids. Big Show comes by and hears about the stress. But they don’t need to worry about things when Show has his huge fist. Show feels things will go just fine when he reintroduces his 7X fist to Rollins’ face. Good point. Good thing Show is on their side.
Brock Lesnar is here!
The Beast and his Advocate, Paul Heyman, are back for the second week in a row! They go right to the ring, and fans boo. Heyman says “y’all need to show a bit of appresheation for the champ’on.” But ladies, gentlemen and “things that live in Kentucky,” Heyman gives his normal introduction. But then he can’t believe how “stupid” the fans are for being upset yet still talking along with the saying. So the fans chant “You Suck!” instead. In that case, Heyman and Lesnar decide to leave. Fans cheer them heading to the ramp, but that makes them reconsider. “Ladies and gentlemen,” Heyman’s client does NOT suck! Fans think he does. Lesnar and Heyman storm back into the ring for Lesnar to hold up the WWE World Championship. Fans still boo.
Heyman calms down and tries again. Heyman counts himself in and begins his usual introduction, even as fans boo very loudly. The Advocate for “the reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World, BRRROCK! LESNARRR!” says that they broke the biggest news of 2020. Lesnar is not only entering the Royal Rumble as world champion, but as NUMBER ONE. Lesnar will go through 29 other competitors, none of them worthy of facing him, and will WIN the Royal Rumble! This isn’t a prediction, it’s a spoiler. Heyman’s spoilers prove that there is a streak going on. Not that streak, because Lesnar conquered it! The new streak are Heyman’s spoilers about Lesnar’s matches all coming true. That’s because they are encouraged and executed by BRRROCK! LESNARRR!
And to make something clear, Lesnar is not going to eek by a win. Lesnar is not going to scratch and claw to a win. No, Lesnar is going to DOMINATE the Royal Rumble! EVISCERATE 29 great superstars! And CONQUER the WWE Universe! Lesnar will prove doubters will be shown false, and everyone will understand Heyman sees the future! But here comes… R-TRUTH!? The WWE 24/7 Champion heads right to the ring and is glad Heyman called him out here. No he didn’t…? Truth says he’s “about to set it off.” Truth saw the Royal Rumble plug. “You may be the favorite to win,” but Truth’s childhood hero JOHN CENA taught Truth to #NeverGiveUp! So therefore, for the first time ever, the 24/7 48/7 7/11 I-95 South and now Lexington, Kentucky European Television Champion is OFFICIALLY declaring for the Royal Rumble!
With that all said, Truth says it isn’t the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Lesnar may be a big, big, BIG man, but Truth knows “you will go flying out the ring, Paul Heyman!” Wait, Truth, what? No. Lesnar is laughing so hard. Heyman explains HE isn’t in the Rumble. It’s BROCK LESNAR. Wait wait wait, what? “My bad.” Then in that case, the 24/7 etc etc Champion is officially undeclaring for the Rumble. He didn’t hear him right. Heyman just talks a lot. His mouth has a motor that keeps going and going and going and zzz… Fans agree. But then Heyman gives spoilers. “Truth don’t like spoilers.” And y’know what, Truth doesn’t want to go to Sioux Falls City, either. Suplex City, Truth! SUPLEX. Heyman says NO ONE likes Truth. Fans disagree again.
Lesnar steps to Truth and Truth just asks him one thing: What’s up?! Truth does the splits, and breaks it down, and fans echo “What’s UP?” Lesnar LARIATS Truth! Then brings him up to F5 him down! Lesnar looks at the 24/7 Championship, laughs again, and throws it onto Truth. Lesnar has his title, and a mic to say, “That’s what’s up.” The Beast won’t have to worry about the 24/7 Champion, but will even he be able to conquer 29 other men in one match?
Raw returns as Truth is helped up the ramp.
The University of Kentucky cheers, but then Mojo Rawley attacks! Cover, Rawley wins!!
Winner: Mojo Rawley, by pinfall; NEW WWE 24/7 Champion
“And I ain’t going anywhere!” If someone wants the title, come get it! Mojo ain’t running from anyone! Mojo taunts Truth as Kentucky chants “You suck!”

Definitely that last one. Lana agrees, everything was ruined! The exes showing up, including LIV MORGAN, and then Rusev out of a cake! So this couple’s New Years Resolution is to accept that everyone else is just jealous of them. And that they will CRUSH RUSEV! Lana calms down and the two head inside.

Rusev goes back to Lashley with big hands then whips corner to corner. Lashley boots back out of desperation, but Rusev CANNONBALLS in! Cover, TWO! Lashley bails out and Lana shouts for him to get it together. Lashley catches his breath as he walks around the way, but Rusev grabs him at the apron. Lashley thumbs Rusev in the eye! Lana likes that as Lashley clotheslines Rusev out of the ring! The ref starts a ring count but Lashley won’t wait. The ref keeps Lashley back, so Lashley just goes out the other way. Lashley goes around the way to SPEAR Rusev to the ground! Both men are down from that human car wreck, but Lana is excited as we go to break.
Raw returns as Lashley grinds Rusev down with a chinlock. Lana breathes a bit easier now, but fans rally up. Rusev fights his way up but Lashley scoop slams him fast! Lana smiles as Lashley looms over Rusev. Lashley stands on Rusev’s head but Rusev grabs the foot for an Ankle Lock! Lashley gets a ropebreak then he clobbers Rusev! Lashley drags Rusev up, bumps him off buckles, then brings him around to the post. Lashley has the legs, and swings them into the post! Lana smiles brighter as Lashley stalks Rusev. Lashley stomps Rusev but Rusev hits back! Lashley throws big hands on Rusev then dares Rusev to do something. Lashley brings Rusev up to scoop again, but Rusev slips out! Rusev boots Lashley back!

Lashley runs but Rusev is ready, double clotheslines take both men out! The referee checks on Rusev and Lashley, but here comes Liv Morgan! Liv has much of a grudge with Lana as anyone, and Lana stares her down. Liv eggs Lana on, but Lana does not want to fight. Lana grabs a drink to SPLASH Liv! And then throw Liv into the barriers! “NEVER AGAIN!!” Lashley SPEARS Rusev! Lashley WINS!
Winner: Bobby Lashley, by pinfall
The Rocky Mountain Machine and the Ravishing Russian come out on top! Lana threw a drink in Liv’s face, and now she and Lashley can rub this victory in everyone’s faces. Will this end things or only escalate them?
BREAKING NEWS!
Or, it would be until Lashley and Lana storm over. There’s a problem bigger than Rusev. Did anyone see “that stalker” Liv Morgan go after Lana? No one does that! Lana is thankful Lashley won against Rusev, but the problem is Liv. This is a challenge! Next week, Mixed Tag Match! Lana & Lashley VS Liv & Rusev! Lashley is shocked by this, because they didn’t talk it over. He just beat Rusev and now he’ll have to do it again while worrying about Lana?! Lana says no one intimidates them! She is a fashionista and celebrity! NO ONE messes with Lana. But will this just be a mess?
The Viking Raiders VS ???
Erik & Ivar are issuing an open challenge right from the start! They already beat the Street Profits and the Best Tag Team in the World, but will they continue to dominate when they don’t even know who they’re up against?
“New week, same story. ANYONE that challenges us gets put down.” The Viking Raiders have proven their dominance throughout the entire Raw Tag Team Division. They dare any team to try and stop them. “Let the raid begin!” Who answers the call? The Singh Brothers!? Samir & Sunil film their entrance themselves, but is this going to go from Bollywood Blockbuster to a straight-to-DVD clearance bin?
The Bollywood dancing gets on the nerves of the Raw Tag Team Champions. They grab Samir and Sunil and toss them into each other! Erik throws Sunil into the ring then grabs Samir for himself. The bell rings, Ivar scoops and slams Sunil! Samir is put in, Erik tags in, and Ivar slam Samir onto Sunil! Then Erik slams Ivar onto the Singhs! But to top it off, Sunil gets THOR’S HAMMER! Cover, the Viking Raiders win!
Winners: The Viking Raiders, Erik pinning
The newest sequel in a long line of dominant matches may not be better than the previous ones, but it was just as dominant in the Bollywood box office. Will there ever be worthy opponents for the raid?
Rusev and Liv regroup and address the Mixed Tag Challenge.
“You waste of breath!” Lashley and Lana deserve each other, because they’re wastes of time! But if they want a fight, then fine! Rusev would take them on alone, but he’ll still fight them. Liv doesn’t make promises she doesn’t keep. So here’s a promise right now: “I am the Living Embodiment of Karma!” And Karma isn’t just some goddess, she’s an honest to God B*TCH. Will the Ravishing couple regret everything they’ve done after this match?
Jerry “The King” Lawler is in the ring!
He is to preside over the Raw Women’s Championship contract signing! The highly anticipated rematch from last year between Becky Lynch and Asuka is coming! And first out is The Man, Becky herself! Becky joins Lawler in the ring and is given her chance to speak. Becky chooses not to and takes her seat. Then here comes the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka! Accompanied by her fellow Kabuki Warrior, Kairi Sane, Asuka heads down the ramp and to the ring to join Becky and Lawler.
Asuka grabs a mic to talk trash to the “BAKA BAKA BAKA” Becky! Then she tells Lawler to shut up when he tries to keep things calm. Asuka takes her seat and Becky gets up as Kairi comes over. Kairi starts poking fun quite literally with that umbrella, but then Becky takes it from her. Becky warns Kairi and Kairi gets out of the ring so that she won’t bother Becky anymore. Becky returns to the table and Lawler ask they simply get to business. Asuka takes the contract first and signs it. Becky takes the pen and is very nervous as she looks at the contract. Becky signs and it’s official! Becky finally speaks to say, “May the best woman win.” Then Asuka SPITS MIST!
Asuka talks trash as she runs around the ring, then takes her leave with Kairi. Becky is cursing as referees and medics help to wash out her eyes. But even with the stinging pain in her eyes, Becky demands a “freakin’ microphone” to speak! “When they give you money, when they give you praise, the awards, the acclaim, it’s always poison for somebody that fights for a living.” And right now, Becky is full of poison. Asuka is hungry, angry and Becky has been content. Asuka is truly the most dangerous opponent she’s had, and Becky has been trying to find the anger to fight back with. When someone puts their hands on her, Becky fires up. She won’t care if they’ve tried to erase Asuka or hide her from Becky. Becky doesn’t care if she goes down, she’s at least going to take Asuka with her! Will Becky see clearly when it’s time to face Asuka again? Or will she be blind with rage when the Rumble comes around?
BREAKING NEWS!
Next week will see yet another rematch between Andrade Almas and Rey Mysterio for the WWE United States Championship, in a LADDER MATCH!
Backstage interview with Andrade and Zelina Vega.
Zelina refuses to be asked any questions. People don’t see the huge difference between Andrade and the “disgraced legend,” Rey Mysterio. El Idolo is a hero to the Latino community. Almas was man enough to beat Mysterio in Madison Square Garden and to retain the title in their rematch. And it was Almas who was man enough to rip off Mysterio’s mask! But what did Mysterio did? “That lowlife little criminal” attacked Almas backstage to snatch the belt away! There was no other option but to file criminal charges. Mysterio is the disgrace to the Latino community, and is a horrible example to his children. Almas says he is disgusted to call Mysterio a Latino and a luchador. The ladder match will see Almas retain his title once again and END the career of Mysterio!
Rey Mysterio responds!
After what Almas and Zelina just said, being accused of being a criminal and a bad example to the Latino community, Mysterio says he fights with all his heart for the Latino community! After what he did to Humberto Carrillo, Almas thinks eh can do whatever he wants. Zeilna thinks Mysterio is a joke of a father to his children. This is no joke. But Mysterio does love this ladder match. He’ll sacrifice years off his career and his life for this match. Mysterio knows all the dangers and consequences, and accepts them all. And he promises Almas that he won’t just take the title back, he will more importantly take it from Almas.

Murphy writhes and hobbles away, only for Aleister to BOOT him into the timekeeper’s area! Then runs to KNEE-TRIGGER into Murphy! Aleister himself ends up in the front row! Fans get an up-close experience as Aleister climbs back over the barrier.

Murphy grits his teeth as he drags Aleister up and around. Murphy tries another pump handle, but Aleister is just dead weight. So Murphy decides to borrow Aleister’s move, foot lift and BLACK MASS FROM ALEISTER!! Cover, TWO!?! Murphy just gets one shoulder up! Aleister sits Murphy up, to BASEMENT BLACK MASS! Cover, now Aleister wins!
Winner: Aleister Black, by pinfall
That’s 3-0 in the series! Aleister made Murphy #FadeToBlack, but is this really the end of the rivalry? What must Murphy do to change the score?
Erick Rowan VS ???
Big Red makes his way to the ring, but Murphy is still sitting by the barriers? Well while Murphy deals with his crisis of confidence, in no mood to talk, Rowan deals with the man in the ring, tossing him out HARD! Rowan drags the man up and drags him over to his cage! The man resists so Rowan CLOBBERS him, and throws him into barriers! “I wanted to show you!” Rowan pulls back the tarp to reveal the cage, and then reaches in to check on his pet. The pet bites him! Rowan scolds the creature while giving the cage a shake. Rowan goes after the man for a corner splash! Then a bloody IRON CLAW SLAM! “BAD!!” Rowan covers and wins!
Winner: Erick Rowan, by pinfall
Rowan’s pet needs to learn not to bite the hand that feeds. But will Rowan make everyone eat defeat in the Royal Rumble?

For Akam & Rezar, war is their peace. And tonight, war may be Raw’s salvation! This is a massive 3v3 brawl with no disqualifications, no count-outs and no way to win but to completely incapacitate the other side! Who will be the last team standing?!
But as Big Show makes his entrance, the Architects of Pain ATTACK! They jump on Show like a pack of hyena,s but here come Joe and Kevin, with kendo sticks! And they SMACK away on the AOP! Show gets into the ring in the meantime, but Joe also brings out more things. Rollins goes after Show, the bell rings, and Joe has a TABLE! Show has the kendo stick to SMACK Rollins! AOP goes after KO and Joe, but Show breaks the stick on his knee. Show has the table and sets it up while Rollins bails out. Show puts the table in a corner while Joe, KO and the AOP brawl on stage! And off the stage! They throw fists, per the match type name, but there are also knees in there. Rezar DECKS Kevin, then goes help Akam with Joe.
Back at ringside, Show CHOPS Rollins! But Rollins rams Show into a post! Back on stage, Kevin uses the quarter pipe to get some air for his CANNONBALL! Kevin wipes out the AOP! Joe drags Akam up and puts him on a spare table. “This is Awesome!” as Joe goes to the stage, to SENTONÂ THROUGH THE TABLE!! JOe, KO and the AOP have all wiped out, so now it’s just Show and Rollins in the ring. Rollins leaps but gets a HEADBUTT! Rollins sees Murphy is still there, and tries to snap him out of his funk. “Help us!” Show grabs Rollins and throws him back into the ring! Show grabs Rollins and CHOKE SLAMS him! Fans fire up as Show balls up a fist, but Murphy LOW BLOWS SHOW!! Murphy is on Rollins’ side!?
Rollins and Murphy throw Show through the table! Fans boo but Rollins is still trying to register that his plea actually got through. Meanwhile, the AOP recover, as do Joe and Kevin. They brawl on stage, the AOP double team Joe to put him on the announce desk! Kevin comes over but has to face 2v1 now. AOP have Kevin, and DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM Kevin onto Joe and THROUGH THE TABLE!! Rollins’ team is in control as Rollins aims at Show from a corner. But Show dodges the stomp to throw Rollins! And then throws Murphy! Show back bumps Rollins in the corner! Show climbs up top, but the AOP return to attack! DOUBLE POWERBOMB! Murphy returns and Rollins slowly stands back up, and they completely surround Show.
Murphy drags Show up with a facelock as fans rally up behind the giant. Rollins runs to CURB STOMP Show down! The referee rules this the knockout!
Winners: Seth Rollins & The AOP
Give a huge assist to the Juggernaut! He is now a new “disciple” behind the Monday Night Messiah! Murphy may have betrayed the fans, but Rollins welcomes him with open arms. Is this just a sign that the destiny Rollins envisions for Raw is coming true?
My Thoughts:
Well this was an interesting episode. I really liked how it opened, with Orton VS Styles adding McIntyre for a great Triple Threat. A lot of good stuff, like Orton stealing the Styles Clash. It was also a smart move to extend things for Orton VS Styles as McIntyre wins this match by taking advantage. I would love for McIntyre to go full Face by eliminating Lesnar, especially with a Claymore kick! Even if McIntyre doesn’t win the Rumble, it would mean so much if he had part in getting rid of The Beast. Speaking of, Heyman had a great promo, and then R-Truth brought things to a hilariously great level with his “misunderstanding” of who was in the Rumble. It works in kayfabe that Lesnar doesn’t care about the 24/7 Championship, he has his prize. And then while a scramble to go after Truth would’ve been better, Mojo Rawley going it alone after losing to Ricochet, that’s pretty good for Mojo. I’m thinking Mojo is slowing getting a push with all the screen time he’s getting, so that’s cool for Mojo.
Charlotte VS Logan was pretty good after the brawl we got last week, and at least Logan is getting screen time. I hope this means bigger things for Logan as we go. To be honest, Liv Morgan should be the one in a program against Charlotte for sake of something Vince seems to not know the meaning of: CONTINUITY. Charlotte beat Liv the last time we saw her, so Liv should be obsessed with Charlotte, not Lana. But as I had predicted, Liv & Rusev VS Lashley & Lana will happen next week and hopefully, finally, mercifully end this story. The Singh Brothers answering that open challenge was dumb, because of course they’re going to get crushed. What would’ve been clever is if no one answered the call, and the Viking Raiders are annoyed and they talk trash to the rest of the roster. But that’s more of a Heel thing, though. Though I wouldn’t mind seeing the Raiders as Heels since it’s not like they’d fight any different.
The contract signing between Becky and Asuka was really great, because it was a very different take from the normal formula. Having Kairi be a bit of an instigator was fun. Asuka doing most of the talking before signing while Becky wanted to keep it simple was good. And while it should’ve been obvious, Asuka using the mist here really caught me off guard, and Becky did a great sell. Though, maybe it isn’t so much a sell as a worked shoot because I’m pretty sure that stuff really does sting like hell. Becky still getting her promo after was a great touch, and what a great promo it was. Becky makes such a good point with that notion of feeling content after making it to the top and being praised, because that is a great underlying point they’ve put in this story for her. This has to be Becky’s win at the Rumble now, just because she’ll bring back that fire and determination.
Aleister VS Murphy III was incredible! Best match of the night, and I feel like Heyman was watching TakeOver: Blackpool II and Bate VS Devlin. I am only a tiny bit disappointed Murphy didn’t win, but it was just such a good match. Aleister has to be facing Almas for the US title after this, right? Almas VS Mysterio in a ladder match for next week’s go-home is going to be great, but I can’t see Almas losing this belt. Aleister VS Almas to revisit their NXT days is going to be great! On the exact opposite end, Rowan getting a squash in before the main event wasn’t needed. While the bit with the creature biting Rowan was clever, leave this for next week so the time used can go to the main event. Because as frantic and fun this first-ever “Fist Fight” match was, it needed to be longer. It was just so much happening at once, it was hard to really keep track of anything. But then Murphy still being ringside, it all plays into the match.
Murphy joining the Monday Night Messiah, this makes the faction complete with top guy, midcarder and tag team. I could see AOP going after Viking Raiders to take those titles, Murphy going after Aleister to not only get that win he’s wanted but also the US Championship, and then Rollins beating whoever it is that beats Lesnar for the world title, assuming that happens at all. Well, the only one that might not get a title is Rollins, because of Lesnar, and it could feed into story to make the “inevitable” seem like improbable.
My Score: 8.3/10

Marina Shafir storms out here!
She throws some poor rando around on stage, and then kicks her off stage, to then storm into the ring. Marina intimidates Arkady Aura into giving up her mic, then here come the Death Riders! Claudio Castagnoli SHOVES a cameraman down, then SMASHES the camera! Then he CHOKE SLAMS the cameraman through a table! Wheeler Yuta beats up more equipment, the fans boo these sore losers, because clearly this is all in response to losing the AEW World Trios Championships just last night. Boston tells off Yuta but he just uses that as motivation. Jon Moxley is in the ring, waiting for all of this to calm down a bit.
Marina gives Moxley the mic, and Moxley tells the fans and everyone celebrating last night better enjoy it now. “Hobbs, Swerve, Shibata, enjoy it now! Because it’s the last chance you’re gonna have to celebrate for a long time!” The fans boo, but Moxley tells The Young Bucks he officially doesn’t like them, he doesn’t like looking at them, so they better stay in their own lane. They cross the line with Moxley, he swears to God that they are never seen or heard from again, and he means that! Fans are torn there, but Moxley says from the first day he started in this sport, there was one undisputed baddest man in pro-wrestling. That man is Samoa Joe.
The fans cheer for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” and Moxley says he has always shown Joe respect, treated him with reverence. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Yuta tells them to shut up! Moxley says he has given Joe that reverence, he has given Joe his space, and it could’ve stayed that way. But Joe started something that Moxley has to finish. Because Moxley doesn’t know any other way, he will not run, he will not hide, he will not roll over and die. he knows no other way to do this but to fight Joe to the death for the AEW World Championship! Tomorrow, now, for better or worse! Mox will be clear: He is challenging Joe!
The fans again chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Moxley says that’s all he’s gotta say. Joe’s known Moxley long enough to know exactly what he’s dealing with. Moxley then storms off, leading the Death Riders away. Will Samoa Joe accept that challenge, and perhaps even go Double or Nothing?
Kevin Knight VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!
The Jet is feeling real good having his share of $400,000, and he’s preparing for next month’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament. But will Knight still be too fly? Or will he be sent crashing down by the Murderhawk Monster?

Archer tumbles out of the ring, Knight runs, and he WRECKS Archer with a dropkick! Archer pinballs off the desk, then Knight goes up the corner. But Callis grabs at Knight’s foot! The fans boo, Callis gets away with that, but Archer drags Knight down!
Archer ROCKS Knight, then SWINGS him into the steel steps! Archer is all fired up, Callis is happy, but the fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.
Archer drags Knight up, brings him around, and whips him hard into railing! Knight sputters, the fans cheer him on, but Archer brings Knight up. Archer ROCKS Knight, sits him in a chair, and then runs up to BOOT him down! Knight slumps against the barriers while Archer refreshes the count. But this just lets Callis get his shots in! Callis hammers Knight, but stops before he gets caught. Callis talks smack on the fans, especially that one guy in the third row. Archer stands Knight up against barriers, calls out a small child in their father’s arms, and then CHOPS Knight! Archer drags Knight along the way, taunts more fans, but Knight fires body shots!
Knight CHOPS Archer, but Archer isn’t even bothered! Archer whips Knight back into the ring, then storms in after him. Archer looms over Knight, stands on Knight’s hand, then steps off as the ref reprimands. Archer taunts Knight, stands him up, and pulls hair to put him in the corner. Archer climbs up, taunts the fans, and he smothers Knight! Archer rains down fists, but he stops short of ten to rob the fans the satisfaction! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture and Archer runs corner to corner. ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Knight again! Archer wants more, so he runs again, to ELBOW Knight again!
The fans are torn as Archer has his hattrick, and he looms over Knight again. Archer taunts Knight, slaps him around, but Knight fires a body shot!

Archer is still in this, but Knight runs corner to corner, only for Archer to dodge! Arche comes back, DERAILER!! Archer hauls Knight up, BUCKLE BOMBS, and CHOKE SLAMS! Cover, TWO?!?! Knight survives and Callis is furious! Archer snarls but he drags Knight back to a corner. The fans rally as hard as they can for “KEVIN! KEVIN!” but Archer walks the tightrope!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
The Jet flies high and takes the win! Will this literally big win help Knight take over the BOSJ?
The Opps speak.
After Dynamite went off the air, the NEW AEW World Trios Champions regrouped backstage. Samoa Joe said, “Do you understand the unusual thing about predators? Predators tend to think they are the largest and most evil thing in the jungle. They think that nothing pursues them because they are the pursuers. Tonight, the Death Riders learned that wasn’t the case. See, we are The Opps. We are not a movement, we are not an understanding between gentlemen, no. We are men who only need an opportunity and excuse to commit violence. We are men like Shibata. We are men like myself. And now, Death Riders, you learned we are men like Willy Hobbs.
“We are The Opps. We are your AEW Trios Champions. And we are coming for so much more.” The Death Riders were the hunters but are now the hunted, will their reign of terror end thanks to The Opps?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!
While Collision will return to Saturday nights, it will also have to wait until after coverage of the NBA Playoffs. The silver lining? It’ll be live from coast to coast! Make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with these two ahead of their Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament match, set for next week on Dynamite. It is a semifinal match, and yet this is also the first time Kris and Jamie face off 1v1. The winner goes on to Double or Nothing to face Mercedes Mone in the tournament finals, but Kris stops Renee there. Enough about Mone. And enough about Toni Storm, honestly. There are plenty of other women in this locker room who work just as hard, if not harder, than those two. Jamie says she won’t disagree there. Jamie works hard, Kris works hard, and Jamie won’t stand here to give endless pats on the back.
But Jamie also knows Kris is good, being a former TBS Champion. And Kris knows Jamie is good, being a former AEW Women’s World Champion. They both know they can go, and this right here has been a long time coming. Whoever wins this, they better go all the way. See you Wednesday, mate. That match is for Dynamite, but will Kris get a leg up on Mone in the tag match later tonight?
Tony Schiavone reads a letter from FTR.
Given the suspension as announced last night, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are not allowed in the building, so they sent this message instead.
“Dear Tony & Nigel, I (Dax) wish I could take back everything we did to you guys last week. It was completely unacceptable, unnecessary, and unwarranted. I honestly think the punishment for us wasn’t severe enough.” Schiavone explains it is a suspension for a week, without pay. Dax’s letter continues to say, “Tony, I would never have gone through with the piledriver with you. You said some things about my daughter that I won’t hold against you. But in the heat of the moment, I felt I was justified to scare you a little. I love you, Tony.” Schiavone rolls his eyes, the fans boo because they don’t believe Dax’s words.
Schiavone explains this next part is addressed to Nigel. “I never wanted things to get physical between the three of us, I know your body, and your mind for that matter, is very fragile.” Nigel rolls his eyes at the passive aggressiveness there. “I’m sure you were thinking the same thing with emotions as we were. Even though you probably knew there was no way you could ever beat us up, LOL. Again, my sincerest apologies to you both, and I hope we can just move forward in a professional and productive manner. With love, Dax Harwood.” The fans still boo the ingenuine sentiments, and Nigel sarcastically accepts the apology. Will FTR ever actually learn their lesson?
Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita VS Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii!
The Walking Weapon couldn’t defeat the Cowboy, so he goes and sucker punches him after the match, then seemingly joins forces with The Don Callis Family! Will Alexander get his first win alongside The Alpha? Or can Azucar & Stone Pitbull conglomerate their way to a victory?

Alexander stalks Rocky to the ropes, then bumps him off buckles.
Alexander CHOPS Rocky, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Konosuke has Rocky up top! Rocky fights the back suplex with fists, then he BITES Konosuke! The ref reprimands, but Rocky cravats to hit a SUPER SLICED BREAD! The fans fire up while both men crawl, hot tags to Alexander and Ishii! The fans fire up as these two RAM, and RAM, and then Ishii ROCKS Alexander! Ishii whips, Alexander reverses, but Ishii comes back to CLOBBER Alexander! And SAIDO! Cover, TWO! Alexander survives but Ishii runs, only for Konosuke to get a cheap shot in! Ishii DECKS Konosuke for it! Alexander waistlocks, Ishii fights and switches, but Konosuke runs in!
Alexander ducks, Konosuke BOOTS Ishii! Konosuke runs, he and Ishii DOUBLE LARIAT! Konosuke rebounds to LARIT Ishii down! Rocky runs up, wrenches Konosuke, and kicks off Alexander to TORNADO DDT! Ishii LARIATS Konosuke back down, but Alexander kicks! Ishii blocks, feed to Rocky for a kick and UPPERCUT! Then Ishii hits a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up more as Ishii runs, and he LARIATS Alexander down! Cover, Rocky blocks Konosuke, but Konosuke SHOVES Rocky onto Ishii! The match is saved but the ref reprimands everyone for being in the ring. Ishii and Rocky argue, but Konosuke has Rocky!
Rocky avoids the forearm, so Konosuke DECKS Ishii! Alexander BOOTS Rocky out of the ring! Alexander torture racks Ishii, for the TOWER HACKER BOMB!! Cover, TWO?!? But into an ANKLE LOCK!!

Rocky goes back to help Ishii, but Ishii shoves Rocky! Ishii asks what the heck, but wait! Is that TRENT BERETTA!? Rocky CLOBBERS Ishii, and Trent takes off the jacket!

Callis explains to Konosuke that it’s fine, and he gives Trent the monkey wrench! The very thing that took Trent out almost a year ago!
Rocky stands Ishii up, and says goodbye. Trent CLOBBERS Ishii with the monkey wrench!!! Trent & Rocky are in the Family, will AEW soon belong to them?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Lexy Nair welcomes in #FourBeltsMone, and Mone again says, “Bostooon~! Say hello to your C E O!” Lexy congratulates Mone on defeating Athena last night and advancing to the Women’s Owen Hart Cup finals at Double or Nothing. She will either face Kris or Jamie, and Kris is someone Mone has had a lot of history with. Mone stops Lexy there and says that history is where Mone won them all. Tonight, she is in the main event in another tag match alongside Harley Cameron. Mone already groans as Harley brings out “Mini Mone!” “Bostooooon~! Say hello to your C E O~!” Mone says she already did that.
Mini Mone knows Main Mone doesn’t wanna talk to Harley right now, but she has assured Mini Mone that things will be different this time. They better be! Now now, talk to Mini Mone. She’s not gonna do that! Harley, just stay out of the way and not be such a loser! Harley pouts but Mone says there’s no reason to be sad. Mini Mone says yeah, there’s no crying in wrestling! Damn right! Wait, wait, why is she talking like the puppet’s real!? Harley starts singing “Ride the Money Wrath Train~!” Mone says no no no! Mone storms off, but the train is on the tracks either way. Mini Mone says, “See you tonight!” Will The CEO and the wild Aussie stay on track as we head for Double or Nothing?
2v1 Handicap Match: Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS Rebecca Scott & Ashley Vox!
The wrath of the Megasus has yet to be satiated, so she is again doubling up on opponents. Will even Everyone’s Favorite Flight Attendant & The Reel Catch #BowDown?

Backstage interview with Kendal Grey.
Chuey Martinez sits down with Grappler Grey, and asks how one growing up in Las Vegas found pro-wrestling. Kendal says her older brother was doing jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, other martial arts, and she joined in and fell in love. Then in high school, there was no girl’s wrestling team, only boy’s. Her dad said she should try out for the boy’s team, and she thought he was joking. He was serious, so she gave it a try. She made the team, was on Varsity, became one of the first females to win in the state of Nevada to win a tournament. She loved contact sports, it just felt right. And we know she even made Team USA for the Olympics.
Chuey brings up tonight’s intense Fatal 4 Way main event. What would it mean to be the Face of Evolve? Kendal says she knows she’s gonna be the Face of Evolve. Before coming to the WWE, she was already a champion. She is a three-time undefeated NCAA champion. That will also be her plan here in Evolve: be undefeated. She’s on a winning streak and she looks to keep it going. This Fatal 4 is just a stepping stone. Chuey believes that. He thanks Kendal for the talk, and says it’ll be a good one.
Ice Williams is in the VIP Lounge.
You could say he’s chilling while he watches tonight’s opening match.
Trill London VS Harlem Lewis!
The man who’s “too weird to be normal and too cool to care” didn’t have the best first match in Evolve, getting clobbered by Keanu Carver. But will he make up for that on the Evolve before WrestleMania? Or will he have another rough night as he runs into Harlem?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Harlem powers Trill right to a corner, and he smothers Trill while the ref counts. Harlem lets off, to then body blow! Harlem whips corner to corner but Trill reverses to break free and DROPKICK! The fans fire up, Trill whips, but Harlem reverses. Trill goes up, but Harlem catches him to a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans boo but Harlem pushes Trill around. Harlem drags Trill up but Trill fires body shots! Harlem CLUBS Trill, whips him corner to corner hard, and then gets in Trill’s face to talk trash. The fans boo while Harlem has Trill on the apron. Trill ROCKS Harlem!
Trill aims, and he SLINGSHOT SHOTGUNS! Even Ice is shocked to see that! The fans fire up as Trill goes to the apron. Trill climbs a corner, Harlem rises, and Trill flies, but into a SUPERMAN PUNCH! Harlem hits his antiair, then he drags Trill up! Suplex and BOOMSLANG!! Cover, Harlem wins!
Winner: Harlem Lewis, by pinfall
Trill tried, but he couldn’t get past this behemoth any better than he could Keanu. Harlem is keeping pace with Keanu, and Chuey is here to interview Harlem. Harlem’s on a win streak, just like Keanu. Harlem says the craziest thing about all this, is that he’s getting paid to do this! As for Keanu, Harlem wants his faceoff! Tell Stevie Turner to make it happen! Wait, Gallus storms out here? Joseph, Markus & Wolfie are ready for a fight, but refs and other Evolve superstars keep Harlem from going after them. The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” but Gallus will just have to settle for their opponents here tonight.
Six Man Tag: Jordan Oasis, Jack Cartwheel & Cappuccino Jones VS Gallus!
The Nomad felt the Iron King’s iron fist and it knocked him out for the night. But the men who helped Oasis to the back are here to help him take on the whole firm! Will Oasis, Cartwheel & Cappuccino get some payback tonight? Or will it still be Gallus Boys On Top?
The trios sort out and Joe starts against Jack. They circle, feel things out, and the fans rally behind “Cartwheel! Cartwheel!” The two tie up, Joe whips Jack, but Jack cartwheels! The fans cheer, Joe runs up, and he RAMS Jack to a corner! Joe TOSSES Jack, but Jack cartwheels! The fans cheer again, Jack runs up, but Joe blocks his shot to ROCK Jack! But then Jack cartwheels through, only for Joe to SHOTGUN him down! The fans fire up, Joe tags Wolfgang, and they mug Jack. Wolfgang suplexes, Jack slips free, hot tag to Cappuccino! Jones fires forearms on Wolfgang, then haymakers! Jones runs, springboards, but Wolfgang catches him!
Wolfgang pops Jones up, but Jones slips free, only for Wolfgang to UPPERCUT him! Wolfgang drags Jones up, tags Mark in, and Mark fires forearms. Jones fires back, Mark UPPERCUTS, but Oasis tags in! The fans fire up as Oasis storms up to throw forearms with Mark! They go back and forth, but then Oasis fires a flurry! Mark gets around, Oasis bucks the O’Conner, but Mark UPPERCUTS him down! Tag to Joe, the Coffey Brothers mug Oasis, and Joe eggs Oasis on. The forearms continue as Oasis gets the brother he wanted! Oasis fires a flurry, but then Joe fires body shots! Oasis avoids the haymaker to ROCK Joe!
The fans fire up as Joe staggers back! Mark & Wolfgang storm in, Oasis dodges then, Cappuccino & Cartwheel DOUBLE MISSLE DROPKICK Gallus! The fans fire up as Cappuccino & Cartwheel then DOUBLE DROPKICK Mark & Wolfgang out of the ring! Then they build speed, Cappuccino FLIES onto Mark while Cartwheel FOSBURY FLOPS onto Wolfgang! The fans fire up more and Oasis tells Joe, “That’s right! You wanted to knock me out? You wanted a fight? This is what you’re gonna get! A fight!” Oasis rains down fists, and Evolve goes to break.
Evolve returns and Jack brings Joe up. Jack ROCKS Joe, CHOPS Joe, and then shoves Joe. Joe shoves back and pops Jack up for an UPPERCUT! Hot tag to Mark and he runs up to LARIAT Jack! And CLOBBER him! Oasis is in but Mark CHOPS him down! Jones runs in but Mark suplexes him away! The fans fire up and Mark back suplexes Jack! Jack lands out, then cartwheels through, for the WHIRLY DIRLY! Wolfgang tags in, and he CLOBBERS Jack! Jones is up but Wolfgang kicks him low! Wolfgang then reels Jones in and lifts, POWERÂ DRIVER! The fans fire up and then Jack mule kicks! Wolfgang UPPERCUTS!
Jack comes back, to tilt-o-whirl FLYING DDT! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Jack and Wolfgang crawl, hot tags to Joe and Oasis! The fans fire up as Oasis dodges Joe to BLAST Mark! Joe runs up, blocks a boot, but not the KNEE! Oasis LARIATS Joe, ELBOWS him down, then waits on Joe to get back up. Oasis blocks a kick, slips through, and lifts Joe for a BACKBREAKER! Oasis puts Joe on the ropes, calls his shot, BLACKOUT CANNONBALL! The fans fire up as Oasis lands on his feet on the apron! Oasis hurries back in and covers, TWO! The fans fire up as Oasis wrenches Joe, but Joe ROCKS him!
Tag to Wolfgang and he runs up, RAMPAGE SPEAR! Then a run and SENTON! Tag to Mark, but here come Cartwheel & Cappuccino! Wolfgang gives them a DOUBLE RAMPAGE! Mark tags Joe, and the Coffey Brothers have Oasis for the BLUE HAMMER, and ALL THE BEST FOR THE BELLS!! Cover, Gallus wins!
Winners: Gallus, by pinfall
Oasis wanted his payback, but it was just another heavy shot from the Iron King! Will nothing stop Gallus from making Evolve their kingdom?
Backstage interview with Chantel Monroe.
Chuey now sits down with the Debutante, and says it is not every day he sits down with world class athletes. How does one go from gymnastics at Auburn to WWE Evolve? She was scouted at the nationals, and at first she didn’t think this was for her. She’s admittedly prissy and girly, but she does like to perform, does like to dress up, loves to connect with the audience. It was the theatrics of pro-wrestling that intrigued her. It wasn’t that different from gymnastics, so she thought this could be a calling. Chuey says Chantel is surely prepared for all of this from gymnastics and Chantel agrees.
Gymnastics is not only physical but 90% mental. That prepared her for so much in this life, and especially this moment. Then what does it mean to hear that she could be the Face of Evolve? That means everything to her. She knows she has the spark, she knows she’s “that girl,” and that she can be the Face of Evolve. Chuey brings up the Fatal 4 Way, how is she preparing? Just training every day, going for it, no doubting. She is That Girl in every way. Chuey says there you have it! Will Chantel’s confidence be unstoppable tonight?
Backstage interview with Kali Armstrong.
Chuey now sits down with the Pride of Inglewood, and asks that when he says that, what does it mean to represent Inglewood, California? Kali says Inglewood is a city of champions. The fact she is born and raised there, you know she’s winning at something. Chuey says she is indeed a superstar, 100%. She says she appreciates that. If he were to tell her years ago that she’d be here, what would her response be? She says if this was even five years ago, she’d believe you. Thinks sound crazy, but the type of person she is, if it doesn’t sound crazy, it ain’t big enough. Once she locks in, once she puts her mind to it, it’s a wrap.
Then how does one prepare for a Fatal 4? With this match, everyone is physically able to do it. What decides the match is who is mentally toughest, because they’re going to war. This is all mental, and we’ll see who can sustain at the end of this. And she promises, it’ll be Kali Armstrong. Will there be a Kali Connection to cap off Evolve?
Luca Crusifino steps into the VIP Lounge.
Ice is still chilling with drinks, but he’ll have to make room on the one couch now that The Consigliere is here. Is Luca checking in on the emotional investment he’s put into this next match?
Oro Mensah VS Javier Bernal!
It’s a tale of two records. Where one is on the rise, the other is struggling to even stay afloat. Will Oro become the Main Man of Evolve? Or can Big Body Javi finally get on the board?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Oro waistlocks and wrangles Javi to the mat. Javi fights up, switches, but Oro pries at the hold. Oro wrenches free, wristlocks, but Javi rolls, steps over, and wrenches to wristlock back. The fans rally and duel as Oro fights up. Javi twists the wrist, Oro rolls, then UP KICKS! Oro CHOPS, the fans “WOO~” and then Javi CHOPS! Oro CHOPS again, dodges Javi’s boot, then runs up. Javi dodges, goes up and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! The fans cheer as Javi tilt-o-whirl RANAS, then DROPKICKS! Javi fires up and the fans are behind him! Javi runs up to whip, but Oro blocks!
Oro breaks free, SOBATS, and then clinches for an EXPLODER! Javi flounders and writhes while the fans fire up again. Oro stomps Javi around, drags Javi up and CHOPS! The fans duel, “ORO!” “JAVI!” as Oro snapmares and KICKS Javi in the back! Cover, TWO! Oro is annoyed but he stalks Javi. Javi fires body shot after body shot, then a haymaker! Oro STEP PUNCHES and Javi goes down! Oro eggs Javi on, “Who are you?” Javi gets up to fire fast hands from all sides! Javi underhooks to BUTTERFLY- NO, Oro slips free to LARIAT! Oro then reels Javi in, but Javi BACKDROPS free! Both men are down and the fans fire up!
Javi goes to the apron, the fans rally behind him, and he ROCKS Oro! Javi has Oro in the ropes to SUPERKICK! Oro staggers, Javi climbs, and Javi CROSSBODIES! Javi fires up more and he rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! Then a KNEE SMASH! But Oro kicks a leg out! Javi dodges the step punch to SUPERKICK again! Oro wobbles and Javi roars! RUNNING DDT! Cover, TWO!! Oro survives that onslaught and both Luca and Ice are impressed. “This is Awesome!” as Oro and Javi rise. Javi waistlocks to full nelson, but Oro runs to the corner! Javi hits buckles, but he comes back, only for Oro to BOOT him!
Oro reels Javi in for a TORNADO HOTSHOT! Then a springboard, RIDER KICK! Both men are down again and Javi flounders away. The fans rally while Javi goes back to the apron. Oro runs up, but Javi ROCKS him first! Oro staggers, Javi climbs again, but Oro TIGER WALL KICKS! Javi falls off the corner, Oro hooks him up, ripcord and CALL OF AUTUMN! Cover, Oro wins!
Winner: Oro Mensah, by pinfall
Another big win for the Main Man, and another big loss for Big Body Javi. Will Oro move up and become the Face of Evolve? What must Javi do to have his breakthrough?
Backstage interview with Brinley Reece.
Chuey sits down with the fourth and final part of tonight’s main event in #Binergy. If he told Brin six or seven years ago that she’d be a pro-wrestler, what would her reaction be? Brin is pretty sure she would not believe him. She wakes up every morning, open to whatever possibilities and opportunities present themselves, and well, here she is. Let’s talk about the Fatal 4 Way. Imagine being the Face of Evolve. Brin says every woman here wants that same thing. She will go in there and prove that she’s the Face of Evolve. The Brin Active Mindset is also a confident one, and Chuey is sure the main event is gonna be bananas!
Stevie Turner speaks.
The Evolve General Manager introduces herself, and then says as a result of what happened last week, she has scheduled quite the line up for next week. We will have Timothy Thatcher VS Bryce Donovan, and Jackson Drake VS Sean Legacy! Plus, “The Sunshine,” Carlee Bright returns to action in her first Evolve singles match. It’ll be a big night, but who proves themselves to be the more evolved?
Carlee Bright is in the VIP Lounge!
The gentlemen excuse themselves so that the cheery cheerleader turned wrestler can have the lounge all to herself. Will her moral support help her friend, Kendal Grey, win big tonight?
Fatal 4 Way: Kali Armstrong VS Kendal Grey VS Brinley Reece VS Chantel Monroe!
We heard from all four women tonight, and naturally, they’re all confident and determined to win. But only one can be the Alpha Female, who wins to prove themselves worthy of the title, “Face of Evolve?”
The big fight introductions are given, and the bell rings. The fans rally as the four watch each other. Kali dares someone to make a move, then she shoves Kendal. Kendal shoves back, then mule kicks! Brin adds a forearm, then Chantel adds a forearm! Brin adds another, then Kendal UPPERCUTS! Brin HEADBUTTS Kali, then she and Kendal dodge so Chantel can SUPERKICK Kali! Brin & Kendal TOSS Kali and the fans fire up! Brin says kiss this, Kendal mocks “Too Strong Armstrong” by flexing. Now they and Chantel feel things out. They triple knuckle lock, but then Chantel kicks Kendal! Chantel kicks Brin and headlocks.
Brin powers out but Chantel runs Kendal over! Chantel flexes but Brin rolls her up! Kendal sunset flips Brin, but Chantel ghost pins Kendal! TWO and Kendal has the cradle! But then Brin jackknife bridges Kendal! Kali breaks that and the fans fire up! Kali fires off on Brin in the corner, then storms over to Chantel. The fans chant, “This is Wrestling!” as Kali ROCKS Chantel, then ROCKS Kendal! Kali ROCKS Chantel again, then ROCKS Kendal again! kali sends Kendal into Brin, and RAMS them both in the corner! Kali then ROCKS Chantel and whips her into the others! Kali fires up, runs up, and TRIPLE RAMS!
The fans fire up with Kali while all three opponents flounder on the mat. Kali storms up on Kendal, Chantel finds Brin, but Brin and Kendal each get a cradle! TWO! Brin goes back for Chantel but Chantel gives her a JAWBREAKER! Kendal has Kali and whips, but Kali reverses! Kali then blows past Kendal, only for Chantel to HIP TOSS Kendal! Cover, Kali breaks it! Kali says not on her watch, and she TOSSES Chantel! Brin TOSSES Kendal! Brin and Kali circle now, then tie up. Brin waistlocks, wrenches, whips, but Kali reverses. Kali runs up, ROCKS Brin, then hoists her up top! Kali tucks Brin in, but Brin hits a TORNADO SNAP SUPLEX!
The fans fire up, Brin hurries to cover, TWO! Brin clamps onto Kali with a chinlock, and adds body scissors! It’s turning into a REAR NAKED CHOKE! Kali endures, but Chantel wraps a HEADSCISSOR SQUEEZE on Brin! The fans fire up as Kali pries at the legs! Brin endures Chantel’s squeeze, but Kendal puts a HEADSCISSOR SQUEEZE on Chantel! The fans fire up for this chain of submissions, but Kali pries free! The fans cheer on “EVOLVE! EVOLVE!” as Kali stomps Kendal! Kendal lets Chantel free but Chantel still holds onto Brin. Kali grabs Brin’s legs, and she turns Brin and Chantel over, BOSTON CRAB!
Brin’s enduring double submissions now, but then Kendal jumps onto Kali’s back for a SLEEPER! The fans fire up as Kali flails! Kali RAMS Kendal into a corner, but Kendal holds on! Kali RAMS Kendal into buckles again and gets free! Brin pushes back on Chantel for a cover, TWO! Brin is free, and she stops Chantel going for her leg to hook the arms! But Chantel fights the backslide, so the two end up sitting down. Kali storms up to push them both over, double cover! TWO! Kali DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up as Kali is back on Kendal!

Winner: Kali Armstrong, by pinfall
Kendal is stunned, but Kali did say herself that the mental game was the key. Kali knew when to strike and that’s why she won the biggest main event in Evolve history so far. Stevie Turner is on stage to applaud, is Kali going to be primed for a title opportunity?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Evolve, especially with that main event. Very good promos from each of the four participants, though I was expecting a little more from Brinley Reece. Brin’s been in WWE the longest with a solid start on NXT, and clearly there’s a good story going with her identity crisis of “Is she Face? Is she Heel?” And as Fatal 4 Ways go, that was great stuff, something already on the level of NXT or maybe even main roster. Kali winning out makes sense, though, she has been leading the way as perhaps the most complete in-ring and on-mic talent of Evolve. Whatever title match is made, you can bet Kali is part of it.
Very good stuff on the men’s side of things, too, though poor Trill London keeps facing big meaty men and getting beat. Harlem Lewis and Keanu Carver are quite truly top contenders to the men’s title, but I really appreciate a lot of the different intertwining stories. The Gallus boys wanted after Harlem, and then they got a great match out of Oasis, Cartwheel & Cappuccino. Gallus hasn’t had much to go on in a long time, here’s hoping they’re considered for like, Evolve Tag Team Champions or something. Joe Coffey can also get in on the Evolve Championship story, but I don’t know he wins it. Joe has found himself in a really odd place where he’s a great talent, but just can’t get titles.
Oro VS Javi was really good, too, and a great win for Oro. I do appreciate Luca is keeping an eye on Javi, and I could see a partnership being formed, with Luca helping Javi bring out the best in himself. They might even join the tag division, but I suppose a lot of it could depend on the D’Angelo Family story on NXT. Stacks starting to be rebellious could change the dynamic of the group, but that remains to be seen at Stand & Deliver when the D’Angelos have their Six Man Tag against Dark State.
My Score: 8.8/10
