"Super" Sean Legacy vs Ice Williams

Ice has already been fired from WWE ID so this may be his last Evolve match. 

They lock up. Ice side headlocks him then Sean reverses it. They fight over a wristlock on the mat. Sean hammerlocks him. Ice tries to snapmare him but Sean rolls with it and keeps the hold on. Ice chops up Sean in the corner.

Ice blocks a sunset flip and Sean bow and arrows him. Sean hits chops. Sean goes up and over then Ice dropkicks him. Sean suplexes him, hits kicks and standing moonsaults him for 2. Sean slingshot plancha's him outside.

We go to break and return. Sean is sent into the post. Ice elbows him in the neck off the apron. They trade punches in the ring. Sean hits kicks and germans him. Sean springboard dropkicks him for 2. Ice hits a twisting suplex for 2. Sean blocks a superkick and STF's him. Sean moonsaults and hits a lifting reverse ddt for 2.

Sean misses a springboard 450 then Ice 2nd rope elbow drops him on the neck. Ice superkicks him for 2. Sean 2nd rope spanish flies him. Sean 450's him for 2. 

Sean goes to springboard and is knocked onto the top rope. Ice superkicks him as he hangs. Sean dropkicks him then step up enzugiri's him. Sean hits shambles and wins.

Thoughts: It was an indy style match. I was alright with it for most of it but it went on too long. Ice was heelish going into this and didn't really follow up on it all that match.  

Chuey Martinez interviews Sean Legacy. He says the Evolve Title is the goal but he wants to collect wins and get his mind and body right. He says he'll be standing across whoever is the #1 contender tonight.

Edris Enofe comes out. He says Sean is showing growth and that's a sign of maturity. He says he agrees with him - he's not ready to carry the Evolve Title. Sean says when Enofe isn't made the #1 contender, make an excuse for why he couldn't get the job done again. Enofe pushes him and security comes out to stop it.

Kylie Rae talks backstage. She says her and Chantel Monroe could not be any different. She says CM is selfish. She says CM took a shortcut with her but she won't do it back. She says CM has talent but won't become a champ before her. She says he has a match with Masyn Holiday first though and tells her to wish her luck. 

The Vanity Project talk in the back. Drake says he's been champ for 100 days and still has to find out who his next challenger is along with everyone else. He says he's not being respected. They wonder who might be the next contender and make jokes about Enofe and Chen. 

Kali Armstrong comes in. She says Drake looks stressed. She says they won the titles at the same time and wonders who will lose theirs first. She says she won't lose hers but Drake's title depends on who Stevie chooses for tonight.

Kylie Rae vs Masyn Holiday

Mas dances with Layla Diggs on her way to the ring.

The girls shake hands. Rae wristlocks her. Mas flips out using the ropes and wristlocks her. Rae headflips up. Mas fireman's carry takeovers her. Rae armlocks her then shoulders her over. Mas does a nice leapfrog. Rae rolls into a pin attempt.

Rae armdrags Mas. Mas shoulders her over then stands on her gut. Mas crossbodies her for 2. Rae dives off the top with an armdrag. Rae corner euros her then corner cannonballs her for 2. Rae is swept off the 2nd rope for 2.

Mas slams her then does a splash for 2. Rae hits some shots then lariats her. Rae diving armdrags her and superkicks her in the face. Mas walks up the buckles and moonsaults her for 2. Mas rolls her up for 2. Mas sunset flips her for 2 then Rae gets a 2 count on her. Mas backslides her for 2. Rae crossfaces her and wins by submission.

Thoughts: It was a decent showing for Masyn. She's still a bit green but she had an acceptable full length match here and is picking things up. I think she's going to be okay. The match was acceptable but not great. Rae's a vet but she's really not as good as she should be for how long she's been doing this.

Jax Presley and Harley Riggins are interviewed by Chuey. They don't care about Adrenaline Drip and say the flying might work on the indies but not here. Har says they will have some claim to fame though as they will be their first victims.

Tate Wilder and Drako Knox talk in the back. Tate says Ridge Holland keeps ducking him. He says he wants him in the ring so he can prove he has what it takes to be a star in the WWE. He says he's trying to break down the door and Ridge is the door. Knox hypes him up. 

Adrenaline Drip (Jack Cartwheel and Cappuccino Jones) vs Harley Riggins and Jax Presley

 

I'm really stoked for this one. This is Harley Riggins' and Jax Presley's TV debut. We've seen Har doing security and stuff for like 2 years now and I've been wondering what he can do.

Har waistlock takedowns Jack and stomps him. Jack crucifixes him. Jack armdrags him and Har backs off. Jax comes in and goes into the buckles when Jack moves. Jax is tripped into the bottom rope for a flagpole kick. Cap lariats Jax. Jack does a body springboard 450 on Jax for 2.

Cap side headlocks Jax then is backbreakered. Har rams Cap into the post outside. Jax lariats Cap for 2. Jax side headlocks him. Cap takes a backcracker. Jamar Hampton and It's Gal are watching in the back and aren't impressed. Har stomps on Cap then sentons him. Har trapezus holds Cap and pulls his arms back. 

Cap does a backslide. Har pops up Cap and Cap dropkicks him. Jack springboard forearms Jax and lariats him. Jack dropkicks Har. Jack slingblades Jax. Jack walks up the buckles, kicks Har and corkscrew diving armdrags Jax. Jax takes a neckbreaker for 2. 

Jack hits corner spears on Jax. Jax counters a double team and takes a big shot from Cap. Har is lariated over the top. Cap's suicide dive is caught by both opponents. Jack goes to dive and Cap is thrown into him. Jack is popped up into a nasty spear from Har. Har gets the pin.

Thoughts: Jax sadly got little to nothing in here. This was the TV debut for both Jax and Har and they did a good job. There were no botches and they were able to have an entertaining match and if you are doing that in your debut, you are off to a good start. Both Harley and Jax move pretty well and their pop-up spear finisher was nice. Jack had some neat cartwheel kicks here that I hadn't seen him do before. I enjoyed this and can't wait to see more of Jax and Harley.

We get a video on various WWE ID facilities and they show some name graphics for a few people there.

Stevie Turner is in the ring. She says Drake and Kali showed why they are worthy of being the first ever Evolve title holders. She says Drake is looking for a #1 contender. She says it's hard to pick one but it's a good problem to have. The Vanity Project come out. 

Smokes says it's wrong that Drake has to wait to find out his opponent. Baylor says they are treated like they are bench players when they are the top guys. Keanu Carver comes out. He tells Stevie that she knows what he can do and he says everyone is scared of him. Brooks Jensen comes out. 

Brooks says the WWE universe doesn't like The Vanity Project. He says their opinions don't matter but Stevie's does. He says Keanu won't get the job done and be the new Evolve champ. He says he will be the one then Ridge Holland interrupts. 

Ridge says he should challenge. Tate Wilder then comes out and hits Ridge. They fight in the aisle. Drake says everyone wants a piece of him and that's how it is when you are him. He says he will beat anyone who is put in the ring with him. Bryce Donovan says that is Drake and says Drake can beat Brooks or Keanu. Drake tries to tell Bryce to ease up. Stevie says it's a great idea and says he will face Keanu and Brooks in a triple threat title match next week.

The Vanity Project then beat up Brooks and Keanu. Brooks takes a double suplex on the floor. Brad beats up on Brooks. A table is set up and Brooks fights off the heels. Keanu also starts to make a comeback. Keanu gorilla presses Drake onto everyone outside. Jensen chokeslams Drake through a table.

Thoughts: They pushed the angle with Bryce having issues with his crew here and he said Drake could beat Keanu and Brooks and Stevie made the match off of it. It's kind of funny that Ridge didn't get picked solely for getting jumped. 

Overall thoughts: Sean/Ice was an indy style match that went a little too long. Rae/Masyn was acceptable and Masyn did alright for her experience level. Harley Riggins and Jax Presley had a decent debut with them having an entertaining match to start their TV careers off. The main event segment was okay and set up things for next week. It was a decent show overall and I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
