Tubi has aired episode 79 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 four matches and several segments, highlighting Harley Riggins' victory over It's Gal for a title opportunity 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.
- Braxton Cole defeated Elijah Holyfield by disqualification. Marcus Mathers appeared in the final moments of the match to confront Cole, leading Holyfield to knock him out with a right hook. While the referee attended to Mathers, Braxton introduced a metal chair with which he intended to attack Elijah. Holyfield stopped the attack with a punch that hit the chair. Cole ended up lying on the canvas. Holyfield picked up the chair, at which point the referee turned to witness the scene. The official assumed that Elijah had attacked his opponent and decided to end the match.
- Harley Riggins delivered a brief backstage promo before the main event of the night. Riggins promised to finish off It's Gal and then snatch the WWE EVOLVE Championship from Harlem Lewis at the special Succession IV event.
- Wendy Choo defeated Gianna Capri by submission after applying the Dirt Nap. Adriana Rizzo interviewed Choo after the match to ask her if she was ready for a title rematch against Nikkita Lyons. "Rizzo, I have always been ready. You see, Nikkita cheated to beat me when I had my guard down. When she dropped hers, I gave her a beating, just to remind her who she's dealing with. So I want my rematch at Succession IV. And I want it to be a Last Woman Standing Match!", she exclaimed.
- Sloanne Jacobs spoke with Nikkita Lyons after Wendy Choo's message. Jacobs stated that Choo did not deserve to choose the stipulation of the match, so she would talk to Timothy Thatcher about it. Nikkita told her not to, as she preferred to defeat Wendy on her own terms. In this way, she would send a loud and clear message to the rest of the women's division: "that the champion is the one calling the shots."
- Timothy Thatcher congratulated Ulka Sasaki on her first victory in the brand. Laynie Luck approached the EVOLVE Foreman after he bid farewell to the Japanese wrestler. Luck requested a match against Vanta The Unknown, whose words had started to eat away at her. Laynie needed to know if her tough years in the independent scene would lead her anywhere. Thatcher knew that feeling perfectly, as he had been through the same. The Foreman pointed out that they both loved this business, which is why he would grant her request. Thatcher encouraged Laynie to fight her fears, scheduling the match on the biggest stage that EVOLVE could offer: Succession IV.
- Shido Ash defeated Cappuccino Jones after applying a Fade to Ash. The Mog Squad appeared after the match. Max Abrams stated that he had just undergone a rhinoplasty, blaming Jones and WWE ID 1.0 for his disastrous state. Abrams indicated that they should cover the high medical expenses. Jacari Ball and Santi Rivera stormed the ring to attack Cappuccino. Chazz "Starboy" Hall tried to help Jones, at which point CJ Valor joined the assault. Max joined his teammates, who already had Jones and Hall subdued, to make it clear that he was tired of people ignoring the fact that The Mog Squad had been in charge of EVOLVE for the last six months. Abrams pointed out that not being part of the Succession IV card was like a slap in the face. "This is the beginning of payback. And there will be payback!", Abrams promised. A furious Timothy Thatcher appeared on the scene to confront The Mog Squad for their attitude. However, thanks to Robert Stone, there will be a surprise for them next week.
- Harley Riggins defeated It's Gal in the main event of the night to earn a title opportunity at WWE EVOLVE Succession IV. Riggins applied a Shotgun Bang for the victory. Harlem Lewis appeared on the scene to raise his championship in front of Harley. "Bring everything you've got!", exclaimed the champion. Timothy Thatcher burst onto the scene with a crowd of officials and security members to prevent a fight.
