Winner and STILL WWE Evolve Champion: Jackson Drake

We see a pre-recorded backstage video. Ethan Page approaches a pensive Sol Ruca, who is sitting on a couch. "Look, I know reality hurts sometimes, but you must have realized that you could be the North American Champion if you stopped worrying about your 'friend' Zaria, right?", asks "All Ego". "Well, it's complicated, okay?", Sol replies. Ethan doesn't believe it, especially considering that Ruca has what it takes to be a future world champion. She shouldn't follow anyone. However, here she is, sitting and worried, wondering if she should accompany Zaria in her match tonight. "Well, here's my advice: don't do it. Focus only on one person: Sol Ruca", says Page.

Myles Borne appears, advising Ruca not to listen to "All Ego". Sol decides to leave, leaving Page and Borne alone. "Typical of you, always sticking your nose in other people's business," says Ethan before reminding him that tonight he has more important matters to attend to. "The biggest match of my career," says Myles ensuring that he has everything under control. Page points out that he knows Trick Williams well (Borne's opponent tonight). He is a man who does things right because he only cares about himself. "And here you are, worrying about everyone else. And that just means I'll never have to worry about you", says "All Ego" before leaving.

Ava appears. "No, no, no. This won't end this way. We are in the city of New York and a new WWE Speed Champion is needed.

Shiloh Hill stars in a new promotional video, this time explaining that his passion for wrestling comes from when he was just a child. He and his father used to play acting as some of the great legends, like The Undertaker or Stone Cold. Shiloh recalls that his father passed away while he was in his final year at Stanford. He owes him a lot. It was his father who gave him a WrestleMania shirt, which he always wore to his American football games. And that was one of the reasons he caught WWE's attention. In addition, his father taught him that it's good to try new things. That's why Shiloh has worked in multiple and varied positions, from construction to a slaughterhouse, and even a hotel. Hill removes his mouthguard to show a toothless smile, missing one of his incisors. Shiloh recalls that he lost it during a training session when he started working for WWE. The medical team quickly became concerned about his condition, but he just wanted to look at himself in the mirror. And when he did, he couldn't stop smiling. "I feel like it adds a lot to me," he says. Hill recalls that his mother asked him to go to the dentist to fix that problem. "And I was like, 'mom, do you see how tough I look now?' It reminds me of my friends in the forest," he says before realizing he has forgotten something. That's why he decides to end the video. "I have to go. See you soon," he says with a smile.

John Cena addresses the NXT fans to announce the participants in the male Iron Survivor Challenge: Leon Slater, Je'Von Evans, Joe Hendry, and Dion Lennox. The fifth - and final - spot will go to the winner of the match between Trick Williams and Myles Borne later tonight.

Izzi Dame stars in a video promo. "Oh, Tatum. Don't act like you didn't hear my warnings loud and clear. I told you, not all the voices in your head deserve to be heard. And yet, you decided to follow them. In the end, that led you straight to your downfall." And I'm sure you'll stay there, crying about it as you always do. "But don't worry. I'll explain everything next week." And remember, Tatum: it is what it is," says Dame.

We see Carlos Silva, president of TNA Wrestling, in the front row to witness the next match.
