Jackson Drake, Edris Enofe, Sean Legacy, Keanu Carver Segment 

Jackson Drake: No, Stone and Rosenberg, go ahead and pump the breaks. Daddy is about to speak, and everybody wants to hear me. Week after week, myself, Zayda Steel, Bryce Donovan, Brad Baylor, and Ricky Smokes, prove that The Vanity Project is the hottest thing going on in WWE EVOLVE, in more ways than one. And guess what, we’re just getting started. Because I’m going to bring a little bit more drip to The Vanity Project, next week, when Jackson Drake wins the WWE EVOLVE Men’s Championship.

Edris Enofe: Mr. Drake, I find it funny. No, actually I find it hilarious how could you stand there and call yourself the hottest thing going on in EVOLVE, especially when you got a guy like me, The EOE, The Epitome of Excellence, Edris Enofe standing right here, right now. Oh, yeah, you hear it. Hey, this match next week, it’s a moment I’ve been waiting for, for a very, very long time. Because these people know it, I’ve been working my ass off, I’ve been grinding for the past four years to let this slip through my fingers. So, you want that championship? Well, I got some bad news for you. You’re going home empty handed, because that EVOLVE Championship, it’s going around the waist of Edris Enofe.

Sean Legacy: Okay. Alright, alright, alright. Couple weeks ago, Vanity Project wanted Lexis King to make sure that I didn’t compete in the Fatal Four Way. Now, I’m not the one to make excuses. Lexis King was the better man, but as you can see, I’m still standing, baby. Edris, man, I respect your journey, and I respect you coming back from injury, working your way back up top. But four years, we both have an opportunity waiting., I’ve been at this for eight years. Eight long years. I have been working my way up, fighting the food chain, been working my way to create my legacy. And my legacy starts now, because, next week, the person standing with the WWE EVOLVE Championship, hoisted above their head in celebration, will be me. Because I am going to show the WWE Universe why, legacy will always be super.

Jackson Drake: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, guess what? I am personally super tired of listening to you two yap. Check this out, neither one of you two chumps are qualified. There’s nobody in this Fatal Four Way who’s qualified, like Jackson Drake is qualified.
