Thoughts: It was a nice technical style match. It was one of the better matches I've seen Ulka in. This was better than I expected. Ulka loses, but I don't know if it really matters.
Brooks Jensen watches an old WCW match with two unknown people. He calls it a masterpiece and says they should inspire to wrestle like that. He says they should inspire to be like them and not someone like Elijah Holyfield who uses his daddy's last name. Brooks presses the elevator button and Elijah is in the elevator. Elijah chases after him and Brooks runs.
Sloane Jacobs takes before her match. She says it's a very exciting night. She says she will beat Wren and says her best friend Nikkita Lyons will be watching. Nikkita Lyons comes out with her and goes into the VIP Lounge.

Wren trips her and SJ pulls Wren's throat into the ropes. SJ rolls her into cattle mutilation and submits her.
Thoughts: It was acceptable. Not great or anything but it was definitely one of Sloane's better efforts here. Wren's the higher girl on the totem pole so she picked up the win here.
Nikkita Lyons gets in the ring. She says Wren beat Sloane but didn't beat her. She says since Wendy Choo is missing, no one is worthy of challenging her. Thea Hail runs in, takes down Lyons and headbutts her in the chest. Thea says she's her next challenger and says that title is coming home with "dad".
Thoughts: Dad? Really?
We see Brooks Jensen leaving. He wants the camera to get away. He gets in his car and Elijah Holyfield chases him on foot as Brooks drives away.
Laynie Luck does a video. She said she came up short 2 weeks ago in her title shot then said PJ Vasa injured her. She says she's not someone who gets tossed to the side. She says she'll be cleared in 2 weeks and will become champ. She says if she has to go through the bad@ss of Evolve, she has no problem with that.
Adriana Rizzo interviews Harlem Lewis in the VIP Lounge. Rizzo says winning the title is one thing and keeping it is another. She asks why he's out here. Lewis says it feels good to get his first tile defense under his belt but he knows it will get harder from here. He says he needs to be harder and more aggressive. He says he's a sucker for a good fight and one of the people in the next match might be his next challenger.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout. Gal was a little better than usual and Star wasn't quite moving as well as usual. Cap continues to lose stock around here with another

Overall thoughts: It was a fun Evolve show. It went by pretty fast and all 3 matches were fine. We got some matches set up for future shows like Lewis/Gal and Lyons/Thea and the Jensen/Holyfield feud continues on. I had no problems with this one and I liked it. It was a good show.
