Legacy knows that the WWE EVOLVE Championship is the end goal, but he’s going to focus on getting more victories and getting his mind right. But when the time comes, Legacy will be looking forward to facing Jackson Drake or whoever will be the champion at the time. Edris Enofe joins the conversation. Enofe passive aggressively says that he’s proud of Legacy and all the growth he’s showed. Enofe actually agrees with Legacy. He knows that Legacy is not ready to hold that EVOLVE Championship, let alone carry his brand, The EOE Brand. Once Stevie Turner announces Enofe as the number one contender, he wants Legacy to watch him do what his sorry ass couldn’t, and that is defeat Jackson Drake and become the EVOLVE Champion. Legacy appreciates the advice, but he has some for Enofe as well. When Stevie doesn’t name Enofe the number one contender, he should start making excuses as to why he couldn’t get the job done, again. Legacy and Enofe gets into a shoving contest.

– Jackson Drake continues his weekly venting session to The Vanity Project. This time he’s livid over the fact that he finds out who his next challenger is going to be in the ring, in front of the entire EVOLVE Universe. Will it be Edris Enofe or Dante Chen?

Jackson is appalled that Kali would be talking out of pocket like that.

Kylie Rae Promo 

Chantel Monroe, we could not be any more different. Me, I like to try to stay positive, happy, smiley. You, you’re negative, conceited, selfish. And while you took a shortcut against me, I was not about to let you take a shortcut to become the EVOLVE Women’s Champion. That’s something you’ll have to do with just your own talents. And while you have a lot of talent, in no way were you going to become champion before me. But until then, I have a match with a woman who has the purest heart. Someone, frankly, I’m honored to share the ring with, Masyn Holiday. Wish me luck.

Stevie Turner Announcement 

Stevie Turner: Since crowning both our Men’s and Women’s EVOLVE Champions, both Jackson Drake and Kali Armstrong have proven why they are worthy of becoming our first ever title holders. Now, Kali Armstrong, she has successfully defended her EVOLVE Women’s Championship, but Jackson Drake, he is still looking for a number one contender. And with so many hungry competitors in that locker room, it makes my job as The EVOLVE Prime Minister a rather difficult one. But that is a very, very good problem to have.

Ricky Smokes: Hey Stevie, you really gotta stop stalling already, you know, because the fact, the fact that our “Heartbreak” Drake has to find out who his opponent is with the rest of these people, that’s just wrong. And that’s not the Stevie I know.

Brad Baylor: Stevie, Stevie, Stevie, Stevie. Why do I feel like you treat Jackson Drake and the rest of The Vanity Project, like, we’re some bench players or something? Like, be real though. Be real, like, we’re the top guys. But Stevie, more importantly, we’re your top guys. Look at Smokes and I, we’re like LeBron James and Steph Curry. And then you go over there, see that kid back there? Jackson Drake, that’s our Patty Mahomes, so why doesn’t The Vanity Project get any special perks? Why?

Keanu Carver: Man, shut the hell up. Shut up. I’m tired of hearing y’all preppy asses talking. I’m not gonna beg y’all for nothing. Hey Stevie, you know what I could do, and you know, they all scared that I’m gonna be the number one contender. So, you tell me what it’s going to be.

Brooks Jensen: Hold on, hold on, hold on. Now Stevie, before you make a big mistake and name him the number one contender, I’ve gotta tell you something. The WWE Universe, they don’t like The Vanity Project, but their opinions don’t matter. Stevie Turner, your opinion matters. And I can see it in your eyes that you don’t like them either. I can see it in your eyes that you want a new EVOLVE Champion. And I hate to break it to you, but this man right here, he ain’t gonna get the job done. But there is one man who can get the job done. And that is, The Bad Man that hails from Alabama.

Ridge Holland: Brooks, I love the fire, but if anybody should be challenging for that EVOLVE Championship, it should be me. You people ain’t going to get in my way.

Ridge gets into a big brawl with Tate Wilder in front of the stage.

Jackson Drake: Hey Stevie, Stevie, Stevie, let me holler at you real quick, okay? I understand that everyone and their mother wants a piece of me, and that’s okay. I get it, that’s just how things are when you are “Heartbreak Drake.” But let me smart you up to something, toots, I will be beat anybody you put me in this ring with.

Bryce Donovan: Yeah, you hear that? There he is. There he is. That is Heartbreak Drake. That is The Carolina Reaper. So, Stevie, Stevie, it doesn’t matter who you pick, because like he said, Jackson Drake can beat Brooks Jensen and Jackson Drake can beat Keanu Carver.

Stevie Turner: Woah, hold up, Bryce. That is genius. That’s such a good idea. Jackson Drake, you will defend your EVOLVE Championship, and you’ll defend it against Keanu Carver and you’ll defend it against Brooks Jensen, in a Triple Threat Match, next week.

Drake starts throwing a massive fit. The Vanity Project gets into a brawl with Carver and Jensen. Double Vertical Suplex to Jensen on the floor. Ricky Smokes pulls out a table from under the ring.
