Jack Cartwheel & Cappuccino Jones Interview 

Question: So, how did you get a WWE ID Contract?

Cappuccino Jones: So, WWE was always the goal, but I didn’t know how I was gonna get here. I was wrestling in a promotion in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in a little church, less than 30 people. But one of those 30 people was a WWE Scout, and all I needed was an opportunity, all I needed was to get in front of the right person.

Jack Cartwheel: I was told that the time to get ready is over, if it’s time to be ready. And at that point, I felt very confident and I felt ready to go. I debuted with GCW, start doing matches with AAA. I was able to do shows in Tokyo, and really trying to bring it to life where I’m trying to cartwheel all over the world.

Cappuccino Jones: The WWE ID Program, it’s done a lot for me. Honestly, like when you look at everybody in the ID Program, I like to think that I was the most unknown. I’ve gotten so much better, because I’m able to get quality matches. I’m able to be financially supported. I can get better gear. And I wouldn’t have been there without WWE ID.

Stevie Turner, Dante Chen, Edris Enofe Segment 

Stevie Turner: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am out here to announce EVOLVE’s newest signing. So, without further ado, please welcome, Dante Chen.

Dante Chen: Thank you, Stevie. WWE EVOLVE, I’m here. I’m ready to join such a talented and unique roster of up-and-coming WWE Superstars and WWE ID Talent. I’m sure some of you remember Ethan Page attacking me on NXT. Smashing the steel steps into my ankle, tearing multiple ligaments in my ankle. It was a grueling rehabilitation process. There were dark times where I doubted if my career was over. But all I could think about was getting back in this ring and doing what I love, grinding tirelessly. And here I am. I have always found purpose in being a superstar who aids the next generation. But being in EVOLVE is for me. The measuring stick of EVOLVE has arrived.

Edris Enofe: Dante! Y’all know what time it is. Hey, Dante, welcome to EVOLVE.

Dante Chen: Thank you, Edris. It’s good to see you. It’s been a while.

Edris Enofe: It has been a while, Dante. It’s been a long while. But Dante, I hate to break it to you, but all of this, all this, it ain’t special. What, you don’t believe me? You don’t believe me? I was you just a few weeks ago, welcomed as your newest signing, receiving my flowers from these people, getting praise from my fellow coworkers. I also competed in the inaugural Men’s EVOLVE Championship Match. At first, it was a hero’s welcome, but now I’m seen like everyone else, I can’t even get 10 seconds of Stevie’s time. And for who? For who? For you? What’s so special about you, Dante? Oh, you’re the only one who had to overcome an injury. Oh, you’re the only one who wants to be the face of EVOLVE. Well, you’re not, and you won’t be. So, enjoy your time being this week’s shiny new toy, really, but prepare to step aside of The EOE, the epitome of excellence, ascends and makes EVOLVE his domain.

Dante Chen: This isn’t you, and you know it. Don’t be someone you’re not.

Edris Enofe: Nah, nah, nah, nah. Don’t say it. But this is me. I ain’t the same man you remembered. I’m tired of being tired. I’m sick of playing the game the right way, just to get ignored, and walked on.

Dante Chen: Believe that all you want, I hope it works out for you. But if you think Dante Chen is gonna step aside
