Kali Armstrong heads to the ring to start tonight's show. She says that she has been in WWE for a year and a half and that it only gets harder from here, but that is fine with her, because she is ducking no one in the locker room and that when she gets to NXT, they will know who the difference maker is. She then states that she is at the top of the women's division and wants to know who her first competitor is. Zayda Steel shows up and congratulates Kali Armstrong, then says that they are both history makers and that Kali is lucky. Nikkita Lyons shows up and also congratulates Kali, then states that she is here now that there is a women's champion, and while she has respect for Zayda, she is not afraid to pounce first when it comes to gold. Kali says Zayda and Nikkita are doing a lot of talking, but have not proven what they want this title. Zayda and Nikkita beat up Kali, then Natalya runs into the ring and makes the save. Natalya tries to get Zayda in the Sharpshooter, but Nikkita pulls Zayda out of the ring. When Natalya helps Kali up, Kali snatches the Evolve Women's Championship away from her.
Backstage, it is revealed that Carlee Bright has been attacked and that her left shoulder is hurt.
In the trainer's room, Carlee Bright is being checked on. Prime Minister Stevie Turner states that nothing like this should be happening in Evolve. Carlee Bright says that whoever attacked was wearing a black hoodie. Upon finding out that she has no serious injuries, she chooses to compete tonight.
Backstage, we hear from Keanu Carver. He says that his opponents want the prestige, glory and fame, but the men's Evolve Championship is his ticket out. He says that he is not going back to the streets after everything he has done to get here, and that he will beat the brakes out of all of his opponents. We hear from "Super" Sean Legacy, who says that he has waited eight long years for this moment. Timothy Thatcher tells him that he is ready, and Legacy says it is time to create his legacy.
Jin Tala beats Carlee Bright by submission with the Bakunawa Bind.
In backstage footage from last week, Wendy Choo attacks Kylie Rae from behind. Backstage, Chuey Martinez talks with Kylie Rae, who says that Wendy Choo has stuck her nose in her business week after week, and while Wendy has beaten her twice, she thought it was over after the Fatal 4-Way. She also admits that Wendy is the only person who makes her "not so smiley." As Kylie Rae says that is ready to deal with Wendy, Chantel Monroe tells her to call it quits, then leaves. Masyn Holiday and Layla Diggs apologize for Chantel's behavior, with Maysn hoping that Chantel's mirror will show a reflection of the Chantel they really know.
Backstage, The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Zayda Steel, Bryce Donovan) make fun of Lince Dorado wearing a mask, then tell Jackson Drake that they believe in Jackson Drake tonight. Jackson Drake says he knows he is a champion ever since he first stepped in a ring at thirteen years old and never looked back, and that everybody will soon know him as the Evolve Champion.
Backstage, Edris Enofé says he came back from a gruesome shoulder injury and that being unable to compete in the ring hurt worse. He says things will be different now, because tonight, he will go from being a tag team wrestler to a singles superstar when he becomes the first Evolve Champion.
The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) head to the ring. Wes Lee admits that nobody expected to see him in Evolve, especially with Tyson and Tyriek dominating, and last week, he showed up wanting to get a better understanding of what Evolve is all about. He says that he can see it when he talks to everyone in the locker room that everyone has big dreams and lots of potential as they hope to become the next big thing, then laughs because he was the same way until he made the business the best it could and changed the world. He says the locker room is naive and borderline delusional to think they will take his spot, as he has busted his ass and broken his back for this business and has not scratched the surface yet. Wes Lee lists his accolades in NXT, then says he is not done yet, and tells the Evolve locker room that he is the gatekeeper now and that they will have to go through him to get to NXT. Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel show up, and Cappuccino states that Tyriek and Tyson Dupont are impressive and that their mentorship is paying off. Wes Lee thinks Cappuccino wants a tag team rematch, but Cappuccino wants a match with Wes Lee. He says that whatever Wes Lee has been sipping on lately has been "kind of bitter," but Wes Lee says he has been around the block long enough to know better. He says he is not some "happy to be here kid" walking around with a coffee cup, but Cappuccino says he wants to see how he measure up and that he knows he has what it takes to get to NXT, and to get there, he must battle one of its stapes. Wes Lee warns Cappuccino that he should have stayed behind the counter, then accepts his challenge.
Backstage, Je'Von Evans says he had to check out Evolve, especially when he is rewarding the Evolve Championship to the winner of tonight's Fatal 4-Way Match. As he looks around, he sees Jordan Oasis, and tells him he is a fan of his work and that his time is coming.
We hear from Marcus Mathers, who introduces himself to the fans. He says that he has been wrestling for six years with over 650 matches under his belt, and that he is not just Philadelphia's finest, but the finest in WWE ID. He says that nobody has used WWE ID like he has and that he has been able to travel more, get more matches and train with the best of the best. He then says that he is bringing all that knowledge right here, right now, as WWE ID has prepared him for Evolve.
Jackson Drake beats Edris Enofé, Keanu Carver and "Super" Sean Legacy in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match to become the inaugural Evolve Champion! It takes both Jackson Drake and Sean Legacy to eliminate Keanu Carver. After the match, Je'Von Evans awards Jackson Drake with the Evolve Championship, and Drake takes the title and hugs Je'Von before celebrating with the rest of The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Zayda Steel, Bryce Donovan) to end the show.

Do The Evolution - Evolve recap for April 23, 2025
General Manager Stevie Turner - now known as "Evolve Prime Minister" - shows up and announces that she is finalizing a huge announcement before "The Vanity Project" - Zayda Steele, Jackson Drake, Bryce Donovan and Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) - show up and take the microphone. Drako Knox is watching from the VIP section wondering what is going on before Baylor says that The Vanity Project are "five future superstars" as he puts the entire faction on a pedestal and takes a liking to the name their faction has been given. He tells everyone to remember this moment, because The Vanity Project will take over Evolve. Stevie Turner, who finally has another microphone, states that she is the law around here and is the "Evolve Prime Minister," then demands that Jackson Drake have his match against "Super" Sean Legacy right now.
"Super" Sean Legacy beats Jackson Drake. During the match, the rest of "The Vanity Project" (Zayda Steele, Bryce Donovan, Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) get involved in the match only to be ejected from ringside.
In footage from earlier today, Kyle Rae tells Wendy Choo that she is no stranger to darkness and that she has overcome every obstacle that life has thrown her way in and out of the ring. She says that the darkness under her blanket was a little different, and while she has no idea who she is or what happened to her, she will not let that darkness consume Wendy. She says she can overcome Wendy, and she is not afraid to face her again. Kylie then challenges Wendy to a match next week.
Harlem Lewis and Keanu Carver have a face-off. Harlem says it is coming down to them and that he will be the first person leaving with the Evolve Championship around his waist. Carver says he has smashed everyone in his path. Lewis says Carver has yet to beat him. Evolve Prime Minster Stevie Turner shows up and puts them in a match, not as competitors, but as a tag team in a match against Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes). Carver says that Turner has just signed Swipe Right's death warrants and that Lewis will be next if he gets in his way.
Zara Zakher beats Aria Bennett. After the match, Chuey Martinez interviews Zakher. After Zakher says that she is always the underdog, the lights go out, and Wendy Choo's teddy bear appears on the apron bearing a note stating "KYLIE, I ACCEPT."

Do The Evolution - Evolve recap for March 5, 2025
In footage from earlier today, Senior Vice President of Talent Development Shawn Michaels meets with the Performance Center trainees along with NXT General Manager Ava. Shawn says that everyone is going to be making history, as they are going to show the world where wrestling evolves before welcoming everyone to WWE Evolve on Tubi. He says that for one night only, on behalf of Ava, he will be the one making the matches tonight. For tonight's main event, it is sink or swim as "Super" Sean Legacy, Jack Cartwheel and Cappuccino Jones takes on Jackson Drake and Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) in a WWE ID six-man showcase match tonight. He also says there can only be one "first" match, and it will go to the women with Kali Armstrong and Dani Palmer vs. Kendal Grey and Carlee Bright. Shawn says that the Performance Center is where dreams come true, and tells everyone to take the opportunity to prove that they belong, and more than anything else, it will be a blast watching everybody evolve.
Kendal Grey and Carlee Bright beat Kali Armstrong and Dani Palmer by submission after Palmer inadvertently hits Kali with a corkscrew moonsault before Kendal submits her in a cross arm breaker. After the match, Chuey Martinez interviews Kendal and Carlee. Carlee says that this moment is surreal and that all their training had led up to being the winners of the first match on Evolve. Kendal says that she is not satistfied with being the answer to a trivia question and that she is doing this so that when people come to watch Evolve, they think of her dominating the women's division every week.
We look back on the history of the show, which starts with the independent wrestling company Evolve and highlights some of the current Superstars in WWE that came out of it.
We hear from Jackson Drake and Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) backstage. Drake is stoked that they are all on the first main event, and Baylor says that Shawn Michaels sees a little bit of himself in each of them. Smokes looks forward to checking out all of the talent outside of the ring. Drake says not to get ahead of himself: "Business before, pleasure later." Smokes says that he and Baylor are "before and after pleasure" kinds of guys. Baylor says that Swipe Right will match with your girlfriends and match with your wives, and they also match with your moms, and that everyone is looking at their next match.
Luca Crusifino and It's Gal are seen sitting in the VIP section.
Backstage, we hear from "Super" Sean Legacy, Jack Cartwheel and Cappuccino Jones. Legacy says that this is a big moment for the three of them, as Shawn Michaels picked them to be in the very first main event of Evolve. He says that he has goosebumps, to which Cartwheel agrees before talking about how he and Cappuccino met at an independent wrestling event as they worked their way up to where they are now. Cappuccino says it is only crazy until it is happens, but now it is happening, and while it has been brewing for a minute, the pot is hot now. Legacy says this is a moment that they will never forget and that they will show Jackson Drake, Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) and the fans why they will always be "Super."
We see a vignette for Keanu Carver. He talks about he started fighting on the streets just to get paid after getting tired of living at the bottom, then says that he will take the ball and run with it.
We see a vignette for Trill London. He talks about how he always strives to be different in everything that he does and mentions his experience in professional football - even making it onto the main National Football League roster as a cornerback for the Miami Dolphins - then says nothing compares to WWE and that he is completing a childhood dream. He says that he has been bullied all his life and has felt misunderstood from time to time, but he has always been himself, and he promises that he will bring something different.
Keanu Carver beats Trill London. After the match, It's Gal poses behind Carver as Carver talks about how he grew up on the streets and how he will go on the hunt and put the fear of God in everyone in the building. Afterwards, Peter Rosenberg interviews Luca Crusifino, who says he is here are a representative of The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Crusifino, Adrianne Rizzo), and states that while D'Angelo runs things on NXT, he runs things on Evolve and makes sure everyone falls in line and knows that whatever happens here, he will know about it. Crusifino says there are some fresh new faces as well as some heavy hitters from the WWE ID program, but that none of them have faced a heavy hitter like him. He says that if he knows somebody, he does not care about them, as he only cares about the future and the future is him. Crusifino then proclaims that you are either with the consigliere of The D'Angelo Family or you are against him, and tells everyone to choose their side wisely.
We see another vignette for the show, where we get a glimpse at Harlem Lewis (who debuts next week), Brinley Reece and Layla Diggs.
"Super" Sean Legacy, Jack Cartwheel and Cappuccino Jones beat Jackson Drake and Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) in an WWE ID six-man showcase match. After the match, Kali Armstrong is at the commentary table, saying that she did not lose and demands a match from Robert Stone.
Backstage, Senior Vice President of Talent Development Shawn Michaels speaks with NXT General Manager Ava. Shawn states that there is some very impressive talent on Evolve and that he trusts Ava with her judgment to direct things as she sees fit. Ava thanks Shawn and says this will be a lot of fun, as there is some great talent in Evolve and she has some great ideas for next week's main event.
Kendal Grey and Carlee Bright beat Kali Armstrong and Dani Palmer by submission after Palmer inadvertently hits Kali with a corkscrew moonsault before Kendal submits her in a cross arm breaker. After the match, Chuey Martinez interviews Kendal and Carlee. Carlee says that this moment is surreal and that all their training had led up to being the winners of the first match on Evolve.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for September 19, 2024
Alisha Edwards shows up to start tonight's show and calls what happened to The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha, Brian Myers, Moose) at Victory Road "a travesty," as she is no longer a champion in TNA. She says that if it were not for "Masha Slamo-witch," she would still be champion. She also says that if Masha Slamovich thought she would embarrass her in front of the world, then she has another thing coming. Masha shows up, and Alisha says that Masha cannot do anything to her because she is under concussion protocol. Alisha then says she is the brains of the team and that Masha is nothing without her, and that Masha does not understand a word she is saying because she cannot speak English. Masha takes the microphone and speaks to Alisha in Russian, then says - in English - that she understands perfectly and that she is sick of hearing her voice and that she is sick of her, just like the fans. Suddenly, Masha is attacked from behind by Tasha Steelz, but Tasha fights back until she is struck from behind with a shinai by Alisha. Tasha Steelz gets her turn with the shinai when Jordynne Grace suddenly shows up and blocks the shinai with the Knockouts World title. Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers soon show up, but so do The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). The System (Eddie, Myers, Alisha) and Tasha Steelz get out of dodge as Masha, Jordynne and The Hardys stand tall in the ring, then Director of Authority Santino Marella arrives.

Backstage, Masha Slamovich is met by Jordynne Grace, who says that she has wanted her to answer one of her open challenges for the Knockouts World Championship. Masha says they will be seeing each other pretty soon, but for now, she has other business. She then knocks on The Hardys' dressing room door to thank them, and reveals that she has met them as a kid and never thought she would team with them. Matt Hardy says that they have had dreams turn into realities themselves and says that they need to get ready for their match against The System tonight.
Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) beats Sinner and Saint (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams).
Backstage, Mike Santana shows up with a barbed wire baseball bat, saying he has dug out of holes his entire life and that he wants to see if JDC is willing to walk through the fire, as he will baptize him in his own blood.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "Speedball" Mike Bailey. Speedball says it feels great to become X Division Champion again after one of the greatest matches in TNA history, and says that the X Division is the most competitive division in all of wrestling and that one must be the best of the best to keep the title. He calls Leon Slater and KUSHIDA two of the best in the world and that they will all have a championship match that they will not soon forget.
In post-show footage from Victory Road, Steph de Lander tells PCO that he will get his hands on Matt Cardona eventually and that he will have to be patient.
Rhino beats Matt Cardona by disqualification after Cardona hits Rhino with a chair that Rhino introduces into the ring. Afterwards, Cardona grabs the chair again only for the lights to go out, and when they come back on, PCO is in the ring, and he hits Cardona with a choke slam.

Joe Hendry heads to the ring. Hendry says that this year has been a rollercoaster for him, but Victory Road was special, as he made a statement when he faced the very best in "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and beat him. He says that he tapped Alexander out, then talks about how he had a goal to be the TNA World Champion when he came to TNA, and while he has had a huge amount of support, there are some in the back who do not want him to be successful. Hendry then says that does not matter, as fans around the world have chanted "We Believe," because no matter how much people try to hold him down, the audience lifted him up. As he says that he has a feeling that they will lift him up to the TNA World Championship, Frankie Kazarian suddenly shows up. Kazarian says the fans could not lift their own bellies to find their own genitals, much less Joe Hendry, and says that Hendry only beat Alexander because he had "a loaded weapon stuffed in his crotch." He then says that fans become sick of one-hit wonders and that he is sick of Hendry, his voice that makes him sound like "a cross between Shrek and Groundskeeper Willie" and Director of Authority Santino Marella protecting him. Kazarian then proclaims that if anyone is worthy of a shot at the TNA World Championship, it is him, as he believes in Frankie Kazarian. He also says that if "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is any kind of man, he will show up in the ring and grant him his title shot. Nic Nemeth suddenly shows up, and Kazarian shows astonishment at Nemeth's appearance. Kazarian tells Nemeth that he scouted him at Victory Road and that he is taking his championship, but Nemeth tells Kazarian to shut up before congratulating Hendry on his Victory Road and that he has his eye on him before shaking his hand. Nemeth then addresses Kazarian, telling him to take his sunglasses off while indoors before telling him that the TNA World Championship is the only crown that matters and that this is as close as he will get to it. Santino Marella shows up and announces that next week, Kazarian and Hendry will face off in a #1 contender's match with the winner facing Nemeth for the TNA World Championship at Bound For Glory.
Masha Slamovich and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat The System (Eddie, Myers, Alisha) in a six-person tag team match.

Speedball says it feels great to become X Division Champion again after one of the greatest matches in TNA history, and says that the X Division is the most competitive division in all of wrestling and that one must be the best of the best to keep the title. He calls Leon Slater and KUSHIDA two of the best in the world and that they will all have a championship match that they will not soon forget.
In post-show footage from Victory Road, Steph de Lander tells PCO that he will get his hands on Matt Cardona eventually and that he will have to be patient.
Rhino beats Matt Cardona by disqualification after Cardona hits Rhino with a chair that Rhino introduces into the ring. Afterwards, Cardona grabs the chair again only for the lights to go out, and when they come back on, PCO is in the ring, and he hits Cardona with a choke slam. Cardona then goes up top, but Cardona retreats. PCO then attacks the chair and even hits it with a PCO-Sault, and Cardona cannot believe what he is seeing as PCO keeps punching the chair with a ground and pound.

The show begins with Trick Williams making his way to the ring. Cedric Alexander asks Trick what he is doing, but Trick says he has made his mind up and he wants "All Ego" Ethan Page. As Trick heads to the ring, Ashante "Thee" Adonis shows up and tells Cedric "I told you so." Trick heads to the ring and says he has not been the same since he lost the NXT Championship, and after seeking advice, he proclaims that Ethan Page will see him again and that he will not stop until he gets his title back. Cedric Alexander heads to the ring and says the advice he is looking for is coming from a good place, then tells Trick that he is keeping him from making a mistake while blinded by his passion. Ashante "Thee" Adonis shows up and tells Cedric that Trick is not trying to hear him, but Trick thinks Adonis is trying to stir the pot. Ashante says he is here to pick up the ball Trick dropped. Trick says Ashante needs help picking up the ball, then refers to Hit Row. Cedric says Trick is letting emotion cloud his judgment, while Ashante says that Trick is in "a distant third place." Cedric takes this as Trick proclaiming he is better than him and takes it as him taking his kindness for weakness and challenges him to a match.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for July 2, 2024
Jaida Parker beats "Michin" Mia Yim in a street fight.
Backstage, Karmen Petrovic is annoyed by a sighing Arianna Grace. Arianna says Sol Ruca snatched with her soul, and with it, her heart, as she is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and she really wanted to perform in her hometown for Heatwave. As Karmen says she is also from Toronto and Arianne says that Karmen is not as Canadian as she is, Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx show up to mock both them, and Karmen Petrovic is ready to fight them.

New Catch Republic (Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne) beat Hank Walker and Tank Ledger.
We hear from Shawn Spears, who has that he returned to guide and lead the young talent, but he has been met with reluctance. He says that he will now lead by example, and when he returns home, he will reach his pinnacle, and the young talent will see the light and follow his lead when he wins the NXT Championship.

Lola Vice is in the ring. She calls out Roxanne Perez, who shows up with two security guards, who are here to ensure Lola does not knock her out and steal her title again. Roxanne says she can see through Lola, knowing it is the most important match of her career. She also says that Lola is not the same person who cashed in her Women's Breakout Tournament contract. Lola says Roxanne may be the champion, but she is a fighter in the ring or in the cage. Roxanne says she also saw Lola's match with "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler at Battleground and admits she may not last two minutes with Shayna, then says this is a wrestling match, not Bellator, and that Lola is in her world that she has mastered. Lola says that she was a fighter since before she was born, and that her mother was pregnant with her during her Black Belt and that she became a fourth-degree Black Belt at taekwando. She was training for the Olympics when her mother got sick, and she got into MMA to support her family, and in two years, she fought in Madison Square Garden. She says her mother will be watching when she becomes NXT Women's Champion. Roxanne says Lola believes every word she is saying and that she respects her story, but every other woman wants to make that same phone call and she makes sure those phone calls are ever made as she builds her legacy. She says that Lola will not take her title and that nobody else in the locker room will have it, either. Lola says she does not have to give it to her, as she will take it, as she took Roxanne's best shot and smiled while Roxanne took hers and she took her title. Lola says she will prove she is the best to cross over from MMA to WWE when she becomes the first-ever Cuban-American NXT Women's Champion. She then stares at Lola, and when security steps up, one of the security guards gets knocked out with the spinning back fist. Lola says she may be stepping in Roxanne's world, but when she knocks her out, she will not know which world she is in.
We hear from "All Ego" Ethan Page, who brags about attacking both Oro Mensah and Trick Williams and beating Je'Von Evans after making his name worldwide, and this Sunday, he will become NXT Champion.
Backstage, Damon Kemp shows up showing brass knuckles to the rest of No Quarter Catch Crew. Charlie Dempsey chews him out for it, then tells Myles Borne that his best friend is the power advantage and that he should use it.
We see footage of Eddy Thorpe deejaying, and as people are watching footage of a recent gig, Lexis King shows up and says Eddy should be ashamed of himself and that rock 'n roll is real music compared to EDM. Eddy says Lexis could learn something new if he opened his mind, and Lexis leaves.

We hear from Senior Vice President of NXT and Talent Relations Shawn Michaels, who says that Brooks Jensen has been the cause of numerous disturbances in NXT in the last several months and has disparaged the NXT brand. He announces that next week, there will be a sit-down meeting to steer him in the right direction.
Jazmyn Nyx beats Karmen Petrovic after Jacy Jayne grabs Karmen by the foot on the outside.
Backstage, Nathan Frazer is focused with WWE Speed while Axiom is focused on their upcoming tag team match with Chase University (Andre Chase and Duke Hudson). Frazer says that they will be fine and that he will be focused when the time comes.
Backstage, Karmen Petrovic meets with General Manager Ava and finds out that Natalya has met with her, and that she and Natalya will face Jazmyn Nyx and Jacy Jayne on the Heatwave pre-show. Arianna Grace shows up wanting to tag with Karmen Petrovic.
We hear from Sol Ruca, who talks about how she taught herself everything she knows through trial and error and became a successful college gymnast, and how she was in her element at Battleground. She admits she came up short that night, but one cannot be afraid to fail. She says she is walking the walk and bringing the heat to become NXT Women's North American Champion.
Trick Williams, Shawn Spears, Je'Von Evans and "All Ego" Ethan Page meet in the ring for a contract signing for their Fatal 4-Way Match for the NXT Championship at Heatwave. Trick says that everyone will be chanting for him, and Ethan Page says Trick that regardless of the match that he is in, he will bring the same energy and fight for the fans and with his emotions, but that Trick's swagger will get in the way. He says that he can beat Trick to become champion, but he does not have to. Trick says he may have less experience than anyone else who has worn the NXT title, but he has worn it well and has put in the work, and he will add one more win to his resumé. Shawn says Trick loves the sound of his own voice and that he himself loves this emotion, then tells Trick to keep doing his thing because his emotion will bring the title to him, as it is the same emotion that gave him the win against Trick last week. Shawn then says that Je'Von Evans is happy to be there as he signs the contract, and compares Je'Von to the team that makes it to the championship game but does not have what it takes to win the big one. Je'Von says everyone wants to use his age to make him look like a punk or make fun of his lack of experience, but he is more than happy to be here, and after making fun of Shawn for never being NXT Champion, he says he will show Shawn what a champion looks like. Je'Von then signs the contract. After that Ethan signs the contract, then says he and Shawn have beaten Je'Von and asks Trick if he can do the same. Trick says he likes Je'Von a lot, but says he - or anyone else - can take his title. Shawn and Ethan then argue over who among the two of them will win as Trick signs the contract, then Shawn makes fun of Je'Von's young age before a brawl breaks out when Je'Von chews Shawn out. Shawn and Ethan then end up slammed through tables to end the show.
Here is the recap for tonight's show!

Arianna says Sol Ruca snatched with her soul, and with it, her heart, as she is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and she really wanted to perform in her hometown for Heatwave.

At Chase University, Duke Hudson reveals that his win last week was not exactly clean thanks to Ridge Holland. Ridge apologizes saying he wants to part of a family, not just a group, and that he was just trying to help. Andre Chase asks Ridge to stay back during Heatwave.
Lola Vice is in the ring. She calls out Roxanne Perez, who shows up with two security guards, who are here to ensure Lola does not knock her out and steal her title again. Roxanne says she can see through Lola, knowing it is the most important match of her career. She also says that Lola is not the same person who cashed in her Women's Breakout Tournament contract. Lola says Roxanne may be the champion, but she is a fighter in the ring or in the cage. Roxanne says she also saw Lola's match with "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler at Battleground and admits she may not last two minutes with Shayna, then says this is a wrestling match, not Bellator, and that Lola is in her world that she has mastered. Lola says that she was a fighter since before she was born, and that her mother was pregnant with her during her Black Belt and that she became a fourth-degree Black Belt at taekwando. She was training for the Olympics when her mother got sick, and she got into MMA to support her family, and in two years, she fought in Madison Square Garden. She says her mother will be watching when she becomes NXT Women's Champion. Roxanne says Lola believes every word she is saying and that she respects her story, but every other woman wants to make that same phone call and she makes sure those phone calls are ever made as she builds her legacy. She says that Lola will not take her title and that nobody else in the locker room will have it, either. Lola says she does not have to give it to her, as she will take it, as she took Roxanne's best shot and smiled while Roxanne took hers and she took her title. Lola says she will prove she is the best to cross over from MMA to WWE when she becomes the first-ever Cuban-American NXT Women's Champion. She then stares at Lola, and when security steps up, one of the security guards gets knocked out with the spinning back fist. Lola says she may be stepping in Roxanne's world, but when she knocks her out, she will not know which world she is in.
We hear from "All Ego" Ethan Page, who brags about attacking both Oro Mensah and Trick Williams and beating Je'Von Evans after making his name worldwide, and this Sunday, he will become NXT Champion.
Backstage, Damon Kemp shows up showing brass knuckles to the rest of No Quarter Catch Crew. Charlie Dempsey chews him out for it, then tells Myles Borne that his best friend is the power advantage and that he should use it.
We see footage of Eddy Thorpe deejaying, and as people are watching footage of a recent gig, Lexis King shows up and says Eddy should be ashamed of himself and that rock 'n roll is real music compared to EDM. Eddy says Lexis could learn something new if he opened his mind, and Lexis leaves.

We hear from Senior Vice President of NXT and Talent Relations Shawn Michaels, who says that Brooks Jensen has been the cause of numerous disturbances in NXT in the last several months and has disparaged the NXT brand. He announces that next week, there will be a sit-down meeting to steer him in the right direction.
Jazmyn Nyx beats Karmen Petrovic after Jacy Jayne grabs Karmen by the foot on the outside.

We hear from Sol Ruca, who talks about how she taught herself everything she knows through trial and error and became a successful college gymnast, and how she was in her element at Battleground. She admits she came up short that night, but one cannot be afraid to fail. She says she is walking the walk and bringing the heat to become NXT Women's North American Champion.
Trick Williams, Shawn Spears, Je'Von Evans and "All Ego" Ethan Page meet in the ring for a contract signing for their Fatal 4-Way Match for the NXT Championship at Heatwave. Trick says that everyone will be chanting for him, and Ethan Page says Trick that regardless of the match that he is in, he will bring the same energy and fight for the fans and with his emotions, but that Trick's swagger will get in the way. He says that he can beat Trick to become champion, but he does not have to. Trick says he may have less experience than anyone else who has worn the NXT title, but he has worn it well and has put in the work, and he will add one more win to his resumé. Shawn says Trick loves the sound of his own voice and that he himself loves this emotion, then tells Trick to keep doing his thing because his emotion will bring the title to him, as it is the same emotion that gave him the win against Trick last week. Shawn then says that Je'Von Evans is happy to be there as he signs the contract, and compares Je'Von to the team that makes it to the championship game but does not have what it takes to win the big one. Je'Von says everyone wants to use his age to make him look like a punk or make fun of his lack of experience, but he is more than happy to be here, and after making fun of Shawn for never being NXT Champion, he says he will show Shawn what a champion looks like. Je'Von then signs the contract. After that Ethan signs the contract, then says he and Shawn have beaten Je'Von and asks Trick if he can do the same. Trick says he likes Je'Von a lot, but says he - or anyone else - can take his title. Shawn and Ethan then argue over who among the two of them will win as Trick signs the contract, then Shawn makes fun of Je'Von's young age before a brawl breaks out when Je'Von chews Shawn out. Shawn and Ethan then end up slammed through tables to end the show.
Here is the recap for tonight's show!
