North American Title Summit
The show started out with Je’Von Evans in the ring with
TNA’s Laredo Kid. WWE NXT North American Champion Ethan Page
then made his entrance and said the summit was a farce, Rey
Fenix wasn’t even there, and he already had a title match
made with “some Evolve kid” in Sean Legacy.
Page was about to leave and Legacy’s music hit. He said he’s
got next and is going to love “kicking Page’s ass” after he
becomes the first WWE Evolve Men’s Champion Wednesday.
The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, Jackson Drake and Ricky
Smokes) then came down to the ring and backed up Page. This
led to a huge brawl.
– Vikingo was shown in the crowd.
Chase U (Andre Chase, Kale Dixon & Uriah Connors) vs.
Darkstate (Cutler James, Dion Lennox & Osiris Griffin)
James, Lennox and Griffin picked up the win after a triple
power bomb to Dixon.
Winners: Darkstate (Cutler James, Dion Lennox & Osiris
Griffin)
-Laredo Kid, Legacy and Evans were talking with Ava Rain
backstage, complaining about Vanity Project aligning with
Page. She then booked an match and said they should find a
partner….who just happened to walk in in the form of Dragon
Lee.
-TNA World Champion Trick Williams did a backstage promo to
hype the main event.
-In earlier goings on, Tyra Mae Steele was commanding some
attention in the locker room when Arianna Grace had enough
and questioned if her Olympic medals were actually gold.
After she left, Steele said she found her first opponent
(for tonight).
Charlie Dempsey vs. Myles Borne under Heritage Cup rules
The stips here were that if Borne won, he was allowed to
leave the No Quarter Catch Crew. Best of three falls rules
applied here.
This ended in the fourth round when Borne nailed Dempsey
with a dropkick, scoring the third pin and the victory by a
two-to-one margin. Dempsey refused to shake Borne’s hand
afterward.
Winner: Myles Borne
-The Culling were with Shawn Spears when Izzi Dame came in
and nailed Brooks Jensen with a chair. She said their match
originally scheduled for tonight has been moved a week and
said Jensen has never fully been committed to their cause
which Spears agreed with as they all left Jensen laying.
Arianna Grace vs. Tyra Mae Steele
This was Steele’s NXT TV debut after being crowned a winner
on the first season of LFG. She showed off some of her
wrestling skills which Grace couldn’t hang with. The end
came after a series of lariats, a fireman’s carry into an AA
followed by a German suplex with a bridge for the pin and
win.
Winner: Tyra Mae Steele
– Mike Santana did a promo hyping the main event.
The Jacy Jayne era begins with a surprise
Fatal Influence came out to celebrate the kickoff of Jayne’s
NXT Women’s title reign, putting herself and Fallon Henley
over as starting in the business together. She said she and
Henley had a long talk and decided it was “time to run the
play with the slap heard ’round the world.”
This brought out a barrage of women eager to challenge for
the title:
Lainey Reid jumped the barricade and that Jayne was the most
beatable champion of all time.
Lola Vice then came out and said it was her time.
Jordynne Grace then came out and indicated the same.
Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend and then Thea Hail
made their cases before a massive brawl broke out.
Then, the lights went out.
Mariah May’s surprise debut
The former AEW Women’s World Champion was in the balcony
with a spotlight on her. She said the best women’s division
in the world got “a lot more glamorous.” She was never
mentioned by her name, so it seems like a change is coming
ala Ricky Starks/Saints.
-Stevie Turner was talking to the women’s WWE Evolve roster
about what it would be like when they got called up.
-Ricky Saints has a larynx contusion.
-Ethan Page was with Vanity Project and said he will take
Laredo Kid and Dragon Lee’s masks just like he took Starks’
voice.
-Mr. Iguana, Aerostar, and Octagon, Jr. were shown in the
audience.
Dragon Lee, Je’Von Evans, Laredo & Sean Legacy vs. Ethan
Page and Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, Jackson Drake & Ricky
Smokes)
This went through a commercial break and featured a lot of
action as you might expect. The end came with a tope con
giro from Evans followed by an Asai moonsault from Laredo.
While Legacy and Page were having a striking battle, Lee got
Baylor in the tree of woe and hit Operation Dragon for the
win.
Winners: Dragon Lee, Je’Von Evans, Laredo Kid & Sean Legacy
-Backstage, NXT Champion Oba Femi was with Robert Stone and
Steve Turnier, waiting for his contract signing with Jasper
Troy. Troy showed up and the two exchanged words before an
intimidated Troy signed it.
-Sol Ruca and Zaria ran into a morose Tatum Paxley and her
doll. They offered her help as did Izzi Dame who suggested
she should purge anyone she can’t trust.
-Luca Crusifino wanted to chat with Tony D’Angelo and
revealed he got them a tag match against High Ryze to prove
his loyalty. D’Angelo wasn’t happy about this because he
didn’t know to which Cruisifino retorted that they’re not
really a family anymore.
TNA World Champion Trick Williams defends against Mike
Santana
The winner here moves on to defend against Elijah at this
Friday’s TNA Against All Odds. Elijah was at ringside.
This went through one commercial break. The beginning of the
end was Santana nearly getting the win after a 450 splash to
which Williams barely got his fingers on the ropes to break
up. Williams got out of the ring and tried to provoke Elijah
into hitting him with his guitar so he could get DQ’d.
Out of nowhere, First Class showed up and KC Navarro pulled
Santana out of the ring, followed by a AJ Francis Slam. They
threw him back in and after a Trickshot, it was over.
Winner: Trick Williams retained the TNA World title over
Mike Santana
Williams, Navarro and Francis posed together to close the
show as new allies have been made.
