– Sean Legacy walks up to Timothy Thatcher in the locker room. He’s not here for a fight. Sean didn’t like seeing Lexis King getting all cozy with The Vanity Project last week. He doesn’t trust him. Sean asks Thatcher if he would mind being in his corner tonight. He respects everything Thatcher has accomplished. He knows that Thatcher believes in the WWE ID Program as much as he does. Vanity Project don’t care, they’re the same Primadonna’s that picked on him back in the day. Thatcher says that he’ll do it. Thatcher shakes Legacy’s hand.
– Chuey Martinez had a backstage interview with Edris Enofe. Edris is glad to be on the hottest brand in WWE. He’s been out of action for seven months with a torn labrum. Injuries are part of the business, and Edris saw it as a blessing in disguise. He built himself up mentally and physically, and he’s ready to show the world why he’s more than just potential. He’s focusing on his singles career now. Edris knows how great he truly is. You gotta do everything you can to the best of your ability. Edris definitely has his eyes set on the Men’s EVOLVE Championship. Edris came to EVOLVE, because these WWE ID guys, while they’re talented, and he knows that they’re here to take any opportunity. He can’t allow anybody else to go past him, he’s been doing that for three years. It’s time for him to step up and face the hungriest of competition.
– Masyn Holiday asks Chantel Monroe if she would like to be in her corner tonight for her match. Why would the reflection of perfection ever do that? Chantel says that she has the EVOLVE Women’s Championship to worry about. Masyn is waiting for Chantel to drop this act, so whenever she’s ready to show the world who she truly is, hit her up.

And in a few weeks, she’s going to prove to everybody that she’s a history maker, because she’ll become the first ever EVOLVE Women’s Champion. Armstrong looks at the women’s locker room, and she’s pretty impressed, but did you see what she did to Kendal Grey? Armstrong don’t care who else Stevie Turner puts in that Fatal Four Way Elimination Match, because at the end of the day, that title is coming home with her. Zayda Steel appears on the stage. Zaya properly introduces herself to Armstrong. She calls Armstrong delusional. Zayda knows that Armstrong can do all the crazy flips, but she has a brain. If Armstrong had a brain, she would’ve known that the women’s championship has one girl’s name on it, and that’s “The Real Deal” Zayda Steel.
Chantel Monroe joins the conversation. Chantel thinks she can speak for everyone who watches EVOLVE on Tubi, that no one wants to hear Zayda’s whiny ass voice. Chantel knows that Armstrong got game. She’s strong, she’s powerful, but she’s just not the reflection of perfection. Besides, when you call yourself protection, you obviously need a Women’s Championship to go along with it. Kylie Rae joins the conversation. Kylie apologies for interrupting. She has been going through a lot lately, but the one that’s keeping her smiling is knowing that there’s still one spot open in that Fatal Four Way Championship Match. Kylie says that she’s going to do everything she can to get in that match. Zayda tells Kylie to shut up. Zayda says that the makeover Wendy Choo gave Kylie a few weeks ago was the best she’s ever looked. If anything, she should’ve put Kylie in that pillowcase, and shipped her far, far, far away. Kylie punches Zayda. All hell starts breaking loose in the EVOLVE Arena. Armstrong sends Chantel crashing into Kylie and Zayda on the outside. Kendal Grey storms into the ring.

Stevie was impressed with Nikkita’s victory last week, so much so that she’s considering putting her in the last chance 4-Way Match to determine the final spot in the EVOLVE Women’s Championship Fatal Four Way Elimination Match. Nikkita is not interested in that. When Stevie crowns a champion, then she can give Nikkita a call.
– Chuey Martinez had a backstage interview with Kylie Rae. She’s really excited, because next week, it will be her versus Zayda Steel, Aria Bennett and Chantel Monroe. The winner will get the final spot in that EVOLVE Women’s Championship Fatal Four Way Elimination Match. This is the moment she’s been waiting for.
