Aaron Rourke does a video. He says he doesn't think high of Kale Dixon and says they've been going at each other for a few weeks. AR says Kale is insecure and acts like a coward. He says Kale is entering his ring and he'll be d@mned if he lets him make a name for himself off of him.

We get a video on Elijah Holyfield and see clips of him as a kid at the SNME his dad was on. He says Cole and Mathers aren't ready for the situation this has turned into. He says he has to turn their lights out. He says it's them in a triple thread next week but he's the only threat to Evolve

Thoughts: Big upset with Kale winning here. It was fine. Kale's not a super spectacular guy but what he does is rather tried and true. I'm not sure what's going on with Aaron as he won the title already but did not get bumped up to NXT full-time.

Blake Howard gets a phone call from Harlem Lewis. He tells Harley Riggins to cross the line if he wants and says they are taking this to a different level. He says he plans on leaving Evolve as a forever champ.

Overall thoughts: The opener got a lot of time as was fine. Skylar Raye beat Sloane Jacobs in an average match. The main also got a lot of time to play out and that was fine as well. We didn't get a ton of follow-up from last week's show and a lot of people who are already gone from WWE are still hanging around here. This show was alright overall but nothing super spectacular. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 total.
