Keanu Carver Promo
Last week was just another example of what happens when you step to Keanu Carver. I’ve been telling you for weeks, but you ain’t listening bro. I move different from everybody else. I said I was gonna run through that whole entire WWE ID Program and send they ass back to those bingo halls they came from. Marcus and Jordan, put down. Thatcher, put down. Sean Legacy, put down. Bryce Donovan, put down. Vanity Project, what’s up, y’all scared or something? It’s not if, it’s when I snatch that EVOLVE Title off the hands from the ID Program Clown and bring that title right back to the crib. And the way I see it, ain’t a damn thing standing between me and Jackson Drake Goofy Ass now.
– Jackson Drake is expressing his concern in the backstage area. Keanu Carver makes him nervous. Zayda Steel can’t believe she lost to Layla Diggs last week. Zayda blames Bryce Donovan for costing her the match. Bryce says that Zayda is the real deal, and she doesn’t need anybody’s help. Ricky Smokes points out that, The Vanity Project is the measuring stick in EVOLVE, but lately, they’ve been really slippery, and that’s what they want to see. Jackson continues to put down Bryce, and wants him to take accountability, so they can move forward.
– Stevie Turner is giving Kali Armstrong her props for her successful title defense over Jin Tala. Kali don’t want to hear all of that, she just wants to know who’s going to be her next challenger. Is it Karmen Petrovic or Chantel Monroe, because Kali is getting tired of both of them running their mouth. Nikkita Lyons joins the conversation. Nikkita is making it obvious she wants an instant title shot, because she allowed Natalya to skip the line a few months ago. Kali is not backing down from any competition. So, next week on EVOLVE, Kali will be putting her EVOLVE Women’s Championship on the line in a Fatal Four Way Match against Nikkita Lyons, Karmen Petrovic and Chantel Monroe.

Kendal Grey Promo
Wendy Choo, I don’t know what your problem is. A few weeks ago, you choked out my friend, Carlee Bright. And then I see your ass laughing about it. Look, I don’t care if you have this weird obsession with me or not, because I’m way past that point. Look, I haven’t seen you talk, but I’m damn sure I can make you scream when I dislocate your shoulder or rip your arm out of its socket. So, I’ll make it easy for you. Next week, you don’t have to be lurking around the corner or popping up behind me, because you can find me in the middle of the ring, and then we’ll see if your ass is still laughing about it.
