Tubi has aired episode 74 of WWE Evolve early this morning, the new show starring the developing talent of the company. The matches of the show were recorded a few weeks ago at the WWE Performance Center. The episode featured three matches and several segments, highlighting Nikkita Lyons' victory over Thea Hail to retain the WWE Evolve Women's Championship in the main event of the night.
In this news, we will provide the quick results of the show and the full video of the event.
- Sam Holloway defeated CJ Valor (with Max Abrams, Santi Rivera, and Jacari Ball) after applying a chokeslam.
- Harlem Lewis delivered a backstage promo, where he acknowledged that he did not expect what would happen after winning the WWE Evolve Championship. In recent weeks, he has received a large number of congratulatory messages from people he had not spoken to in a long time. Additionally, he felt the pride in his brother's eyes when he showed him the belt for the first time. And, of course, he has seen how his relationship with his WWE ID project teammates has changed since then. "Because the truth is that people are not interested in your success until you do it better than them. And I don't care if it's about competition. I don't care if it's about envy. The fact is that I'm good at it, because this title means more to me than any friendship I've forged in this place. The Harlem Violence World Tour is going to get more intense. Every time the pressure increases, I turn up the volume and give it back to them in the same coin. This title is going to stay on my shoulders for a long time. So get used to it," he said.
- Cutler James defeated Marcus Mathers after applying the Dark Matter.
- Adriana Rizzo interviewed James after his match. Cutler pointed out that DarkState dominates the NXT show every Tuesday. He, on the other hand, takes care of doing the same in Evolve on Wednesday nights. Cutler was fully aware of his undefeated streak since joining the brand, which has led him to set his sights on the men's championship.
- PJ Vasa delivered a brief backstage promo to address Lainey Luck, whom he described as a mere "stepping stone." "Please, stop talking about your feelings and come next week to get what's coming to you, because when I defeat you again, I'm going to take something from Big Kat Kita (Nikkita Lyons)", he said.
- Harley Riggins starred in a promotional video, where he declared that his greatest hero is himself. Riggins pointed out that he started his journey in Evolve alone and that he is now ready to pursue the brand's men's championship.
- Shido Ash and Viktor Zanov carried out a new promo. In it, they boasted about being unstoppable as a team. "Now everyone is afraid of us. Good. And rightfully so!", exclaimed Zanov. "We crush the competition!" he added to end the promo.
- Kale Dixon and Alix Brooks met with Timothy Thatcher in the Evolve Foreman's office. Dixon and Brooks were very upset about the former's loss to It's Gal. Kale stated that he did not sign with Evolve for this and that promises were made regarding it. Thatcher made it clear that promises don't mean much in the brand. Only hard work leads talent to achieve their goals. That said, he proposed a match against Chazz "Starboy" Hall next week. "Alright. I guess you'll have a superstar and a kid there," Kale said before leaving. Thatcher then addressed the camera to announce that next week will also see the first Lumberjack Match in the brand's history when Brooks Jensen and Elijah Holyfield face off again. Zena Sterling entered Timothy's office to request a singles match opportunity. Thatcher granted her wish by informing her that she will face Layla Diggs in seven days.
- Nikkita Lyons (with Sloane Jacobs) defeated Thea Hail to retain the WWE Evolve Women's Championship in the main event of the night. In the final moments of the match, Anya Rune tried to prevent interference from Gianna Capri and Veronica Haven. The referee was distracted, preventing him from seeing Lyons tap out after being caught in a Kimura Lock. Jacobs took advantage of this to poke Hail in the eye, allowing Nikkita to break free and finish off her opponent with a Throat Chakra.
