Tony D’Angelo, Luca Crusifino, Stacks Segment

Loyalty is me leaving college with one year of elgibility at Duquesne  University for our family, because you asked me to. Loyalty is me turning down job offers from top tier law firms in the country, without hesitation, for a job I’ve wanted since I was a child. I’ve turned down and given up everything that I’ve done up until this point, for a chance, Tony, for a chance to be in the WWE. And you know, without a doubt that I have never done a damn thing to doubt you, Tony, never. And you know what that is? That’s loyalty.

Stacks: Luca, Luca, I gotta say, I wouldn’t be standing here your Heritage Cup Champion if it wasn’t for you, so thank you, man.

Tony D’Angelo: Luca, listen to me, this is exactly what I’m talking about. This stuff, right here.

Jordynne Grace & Fatal Influence Segment 

Jordynne Grace: I wanted to come out here tonight and be completely honest. Getting to this point is the hardest thing I ever had to do. But last week reminded me of something, it reminded me that I thrive under the pressure. And the bigger the battle, the bigger the win. So now I’m about to walk into Evolution, a historic premium live event, not just for WWE, but for Women’s Wrestling. And this time, I’m not watching from the sidelines, I’m a part of it. I’m going to make history alongside the best women’s wrestlers in the world. But for the sake of complete honesty, I have to be something that I’m honestly terrified of being, and that’s vulnerable. Because I’ve been thinking a lot lately, asking myself, am I actually good enough to be here? Do I really belong in the WWE? And a lot of you know my journey, you know that I didn’t grow up saying that I was born to be a WWE Superstar. But I did everything I had to do in order to get here. I became someone that they couldn’t ignore. So, at Evolution, I’m gonna beat Jacy Jayne, and remind myself of exactly who I am. Because I may not have been born for this.

– Fatal Influence make their way down to the ring.

Jacy Jayne: Alright, Jordynne, are you done with this incredibly pitiful sob story of yours yet? But I mean, congratulations on making it the absolute highlight of your entire career. And I know, I know, I’m fully aware that you can bench press more than me, but you can’t carry. In fact, you will never carry this division the way I will. But by all means, continue flexing your muscles, and hoping that one day a championship will just magically fall into your arms. But I can promise you, it won’t be my NXT Women’s Championship, and it damn sure won’t be at Evolution. Because everyone wants to keep saying I’m the most beatable champion in history, but unfortunately for all of you, and all of you idiots, I’m at the top of my game. Yeah, you all can keep crying about it, keep crying about it while I keep winning. And while I’m on the subject, it reminds me, you and Blake Monroe, you seem to be cut from the same cloth. You think you can just walk up in here, and everyone is going to bow down at your feet’s. But luckily for you, Fatal Influence will always be here to remind you exactly where you stand. Quick reality check, Hunny, at Evolution, I’m gonna prove.

Jordynne Grace: Alright, Jacy, why don’t you just do everyone here a favor, and shut up. You shocked the world when you won the NXT Women’s Championship, but I’m not going to surprise anybody when I beat you. At Evolution, I’m gonna become the NXT Women’s Champion.

Grace gets into a brawl with Fatal Influence. The numbers game catches up to Grace. Blake Monroe storms into the ring to make the save. Monroe with forearm shivers.
