Kylie Rae beats Aria Bennett, Chantel Monroe and "The Real Deal" Zayda Steel in a Play-In Fatal 4-Way Match to enter the Fatal 4-Way Match for the Evolve Women's Championship. During the match, Bryce Donovan gets on the ring apron and distracts the referee, but when the referee catches Jackson Drake placing Zayda Steel's foot on the rope during a pinfall attempt by Kylie Rae, the rest of The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, Bryce Donovan) gets ejected from ringside.

We hear from Keanu Carver, who says that it ends between him and Harlem Lewis tonight. He hopes that Harlem Lewis has taken his best shot, because he is not one to be played with and he will become the first Evolve Champion.

Chuey Martinez interviews Oro Mensah. Oro says he has been on a roll and has done more than enough to be part of the Fatal 4-Way Match for the Evolve Championship. He says that he will beat Edris Enofé tonight and head into the Fatal 4-Way Match for the title.

Edris Enofé beats Oro Mensah after clotheslining Oro Mensah off the top rope before hitting an elbow drop for the win. After the match, Edris says the last seven months have been a long road to recovery, but he is here, and it feels great to win tonight, especially against a great opponent like Oro Mensah who has worked his ass off to get to where he is. Edris says he is back, then he is suddenly met by Prime Minister Stevie Turner, who puts him in the Fatal 4-Way for the Evolve Championship. All off a sudden, two referes tell Stevie that something has happened in the bacn, and it is revealed that Dani Palmer is on the ground and that her right knee has been hurt.

We hear from Harlem Lewis, who says that Keanu Carver does not know anything about him and that Carver has been in his way, and that Carver will find out that he is the only alpha male in Evolve.

The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, Bryce Donovan, "The Real Deal" Zayda Steel). Brad Baylor says that nobody cares about Brinley Reece or Dani Palmer, and Ricky Smokes declares that the only woman anyone cares about in Evolve is Zadya Steel, who he says is the only woman who deserves to be in the Fatal 4-Way Match for the Evolve Women's Championship. Baylor says Jackson Drake should be in the Fatal 4-Way for the Evolve Championship, then says he is not too worried because after he and Smokes get done beating down "Super" Sean Legacy, Prime Minister Stevie Turner will have no choice but to replace Legacy with Drake.

Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) beat "Super" Sean Legacy and Timothy Thatcher.

Backstage, we hear from Kali Armstrong, who calls out Kendal Grey for attacking her from behind after she hit her with a chop block despite being "a Mighty Mouse badass." She warns her, Wendy Choo and Kylie Rae that next week is her moment after calling her shot and being the best on Evolve. She says she may be brash and confident, but she is used to winning, and next week, she will make history again when she becomes the first-ever Evolve Women's Champion.

Backstage during the commercial break, Kendal Grey, Carliee Bright, Masyn Holiday and Chantel Monroe are backstage having hear what Kali Armstrong has had to say. Kendal says that Kali thinks she is already champion in her own mind, and Masyn admits that Kali can hit hard. Kendal says she is not afraid of physicality due to putting women twice her size on the mat in amateur wrestling, but Chantel tells her to keep dreaming as this is not amateur wrestling and that she is not winning the Evolve Women's Championship before leaving the locker room. Masyn says "the real Chantel" could be cool, but nobody will know for sure until she drops the act.

He asks Timothy Thatcher to be in his corner, stating that Thatcher has earned his respect, that he respects him and everything he has accomplished, and that The Vanity Project look like the kind of prima donnas who made fun of him before he got in shape and became a professional wrestler. Thatcher accepts Legacy's proposal, and they shake hands.

Backstage, Chuey Martinez interviews Edris Enofé, who has been out with a shoulder injury for the last seven months. Edris says he has built himself up physically and mentally and that he is ready to show he is more than just potential. He says that being part of a tag team means doing half the work, but now he knows his potential, and he plans to do everything to the best of his ability. Edris states that Evolve is full of talent and that he cannot allow anyone else to go past him like he has done for the past three years, and he is here to test his abilities against "the hungriest of the hungry."

Backstage, Masyn Holiday is excited to see Edris Enofé back, but Chantel Monroe is too wrapped up in herself to notice. When Masyn asks Chantel if she is going to be in her corner tonight, Chantel is too focused on both her reflection and the Evolve Women's Championship. Masyn tells her to drop the act, and tells Chantel to let her know when she is ready to show the world who she truly is.

Kali Armstrong beats Masyn Holiday. After the match, Kali Armstrong says she has proved since day one that she is a difference maker, and that in two weeks, she will prove to everyone that she is a history maker when she becomes Evolve Women's Champion. She admits the women's locker room is impressive, and says that regardless of whoever is added to the women's Fatal 4-Way, she will still become a champion. "The Real Deal" Zayda Steel shows up and says they have never met because Armstrong is delusional and that she has a brain - unlike Armstrong - and knows that the Women's Championship has her name on it. Chantel Monroe shows up and says nobody wants to hear Zayda's "whiny ass voice," and states that while Armstrong has game, she is not the reflection of perfection that she is. Kylie Rae shows up and apologizes for interrupting, and says that the fact that there is one slot left in the women's Fatal 4-Way is keeping her smiling. Zayda says that the makeover Wendy Choo gave Kylie is "the best [she's] ever looked" and that Wendy should have put her in the pillowcase.

Keanu Carver beats Luca Crusifino.

Chantel Monroe beats Masyn Holiday with a schoolkid pin after grabbing the tights. Chuey Martinez interviews Chantel after the match, and Chantel says winning two matches in Evolve is not surprising because she sees a winner when she looks in the mirror and that winners win championships. She says she has been hearing whispers about the Women's Evolve Championship and that she will be the center of the title conversation.

We see a face-off between Kali Armstrong and Dani Palmer. Palmer admits she misfired on the dive that took Armstrong out and that they are clearly not a good team, but they are here to evolve their talents. Armstrong says Palmer has just described a loser's mentality and is trying to convince herself that she does not suck, and tells her to learn from her mistakes when she is not attached to a partner like her who can actually win. Palmer warns Armstrong that she will have a short career and lots of enemies with that mindset, but Armstrong says she is doing absolutely fine and will continue to do so as long as she is not handcuffed to "a poor excuse for a consolation prize" like Palmer. Palmer says Armstrong reeks of insecurity and is trying to push all her buttons to get her to lash out, but it is not going to work and that she is saving it all for the ring because Armstrong is writing checks that her skills cannot cash.

He says he cannot stand people who do not work hard and that he cannot stand people who are soft, and that he has never taken crap from other people. He states that he has been a champion in football and that he will be a champion in wrestling, and asks what will stop him.

We get a closer look at Braxton Cole, who talks about his history in college football and how WWE asked him to try out only to make the cut to his own surprise. He says he has always wanted to support his family and that he sees himself as having a stronger mind over others, which he feels will set him apart from everyone else.

Harlem Lewis quickly beats Braxton Cole. After the match, Chuey Martinez interviews Harlem Lewis, who says that he is hear to beat ass and that nobody in the locker room can touch him. As he asks if this is the best he can get, he is approached by Keanu Carver, and referees have to stand between them. Suddenly, It's Gal takes the microphone and introduces himself, stating that next week, he will face Keanu Carver, and says that "when you're in mint condition, there is no competition." Keanu Carver gets in the ring and demands the match right now, and one of the referees rings the bell.

Keanu Carver beats It's Gal.

We get a closer look at Kylie Rae. She says that she is a big ball of positive energy and that she was raised on WWE, and that she never thought she would be here. She says that she took the long way and that it makes her appreciate this more, and that she has the motivation to keep everyone happy, including herself.

Peter Rosenberg interviews Carlee Bright and Kendal Grey in the VIP section. Carlee says that they still have their battle scars from last week, but they are here to see what the competition has in store.

Suddenly, Zayda Steel suddenly shows up wanting to know why she does not have a match, then sits in the VIP section.

We get a closer look at Zara Zakher. She says she is a small person, but that has never limited her. She says that everything she has gone through has shaped her into the person she is now. Zara mentions her background in acting, gymnastics, dance and cheerleading since a young age, then says that she gets in the ring, she shows up and she is herself.

Zara Zakher beats Kylie Rae with a Sunset Flip out of the Fireman's Carry position. During the match, Zayda Steel complains about not having a match in the VIP section, which leads to everyone booing her. After the match, Chuey Martinez interviews Zara Zakher, who says that her victory was indeed an upset, as she beat one of the best in Kylie Rae, and that she will use this victory as a stepping stone to move up the ranks, and next time, it will be "straight dubs." She then stops Kylie Rae to tell her that she respects her, then Zayda Steel jumps the barricade to complain about the good sportsmanship. When Wendy Choo arrives, Zayda immediately runs away.

We hear form Javier Bernal, who has not been seen on WWE programming in months, in a face-off with Luca Crusifino. Bernal admits he lost his cool last week and that he just wants Evolve to be a brand new start after being injured for months and second-guessing himself from sitting on the sidelines, and asks how he can move forward if he is being judged by his past, especially when he has nothing against Crusifino or The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Crusifino, Adrianne Rizzo). He says that Luca Crusifino's message of "If I know you, I'm not worried about you" from last week may not have been aimed at him, but he still could not let that go. Crusifino says he was not talking about him because he does not think about him, as Bernal is not a threat simply because he cannot get out of his own way, and he does not need to take him out because he does it to himself. Bernal agrees, saying this is a brand new start for him, and that he will fight for the rest of his life if he has to in order to show the world that he has changed. Crusifino says this is just words and that without action, his words are meaningless. Bernal asks for the chance to prove that he has changed with a one-on-one match. Crusifino accepts the challenge, but reminds Bernal that he asked for this.

We see a video pakcage for the WWE ID program.

Rhea says she has had to think about what happened at SummerSlam and felt embarrassment, heartbreak, and right now, she is "pissed the hell off." She says that "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio stabbed her in the back, then says it just was not deep enough. As for Liv Morgan, Rhea says Liv managed to run away with the Women's World Championship, but she cannot run forever. Rhea says it is time to remind them exactly who she is, then Liv Morgan and Dominik make their presence known from the skybox. Liv says Dominik has some things to get off his chest, and Dominik says she left Rhea because he is a man and deserves to be treated like one, and that Rhea tried to change him instead of letting him be himself. He says that being bossed around and calling Rhea "Mami" was embarrassing, but now he has a girl who calls him "Daddy" who lets him be himself and do whatever he wants when he wants. Dominik also says that Liv also did something Rhea could never do: help him finally beat his deadbeat dad Rey Mysterio. Rhea says she is proud of Dominik for everything that he has accomplished in the last couple of years and says that watching him grow into the man he has become is one of her biggest accomplishments. She says that Dominik finally did something for himself and won championship gold, but she also wanted Dominik to beat Rey on his own so there would be no excuses. She also says that she should be proud of Dominik for making his own decisions, then says it will be the last decision Dominik will ever make. Liv says the only true thing Rhea said is that Dominik is a man and that he is all hers, while Rhea has nothing, her real family is "a million miles away," and her other family is now hers. Liv then says Dominik, the Women's World Championship, the women's division and everything Rhea loves is all hers, but Rhea says Liv took a lot of her weak links and left her standing, and now Liv will have to kill her to stop her. Rhea then says that Liv loves the sound of her own voice, and that now "they" know exactly where she and Dominik are. Damian Priest appears behind Dominik and beats him up in the concession area. Liv tries to jump on Priest, but Rhea chases her away while Priest chases Dominik down the stands and punches him over the barricade before getting him in the ring for South of Heaven.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce tells "Big" Bronson Reed he is lucky to only pay a fine, but Bronson says he had to make his own opportunities and that breaking Seth "Freakin'" Rollins was part of it. He tells Pearce to find him an opponent, or he will find his next victim.

We hear from Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane). Iyo says that Damage CTRL controls the future even though they have been cut in half, and that they are the most dominant force in the women's division as they take another step to becoming champions again. Kairi Sane says what happened to Dakota Kai will be repaid tenfold and that they will take Zoey Stark, "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler and Sonya Deville's dreams. Iyo Sky says that as long as they run Raw, they will never acheive their glory. We then hear against from Zoey, Shayna and Sonya, who now call themselves "The Pure Fusion Collective," with Sonya saying that they will destroy just like they recently have and Baszler stating they should already be women's tag champs. She says they have ripped through the division before and will do it again, and Zoey says they are the most dominant force and not Damage CTRL.

In memory of Kevin Sullivan, 1949 - 2024.

Orton talks about how he won the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time twenty years ago and became the youngest in history, and says that history will repeat itself at Bash In Berlin when he becomes a fifteen-time world champion. Gunther shows up, and Orton tells everyone to take a picture and remember the moment, because he will beat Gunther in a few weeks and make Raw his new home. Gunther acknowledges Orton as one of the greatest of all time, then says that Orton wasted all of his potential and states that this is a new era as well as his era, where there is no room for people who waste their potential. He tells Orton that he will not play a role in the future of his era, but Orton admits he has never been perfect and has made more mistakes than just about anyone in the locker room, even though he has owned up and changed course. He says that has led to him having five kids and a "smoke show" of a wife waiting for him at home and that he has done "pretty damn good" for himself. Gunther says that Orton is very predictable, and predicts that he will give Orton the beating of a lifetime in Berlin, Germany and that Orton will never be World Heavyweight Champion again. He says that when it really matters, Orton always screws it up, as his grandfather and father were both "screw-ups" just like him, who he calls "the biggest screw-up of them all." As Orton stares down Gunther, Drew McIntyre shows up. Orton hits Gunther with an RKO as soon as Gunther turns his back on Orton. McIntyre has no choice but to run away from Punk, and he flees through the crowd.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Sheamus, who says that he understands a lot yet cannot understand why Pete Dunne has so much beef against him. He says he built Dunne up, but he fell off the WWE wagon as soon as he got injured. As Sheamus says that Pete Dunne wants to make a name for himself at his expense, Ludwig Kaiser shows up and tells Sheamus it is far from over between them and that he will put an end to him. Suddenly, Sheamus is attacked from behind by Dunne with a shillelagh. Kaiser backs off, and referees show up before Dunne strikes Sheamus' hand.

Backstage, CM Punk notices an angry Gunther before being interviewed by Cathy Kelley, who says that there were no travel issues on their flight to tonight's venue. Punk says that he had to tell a "little white lie" to get his hands on Drew McIntyre, because he knew that McIntyre would not show up if he did. He says that Drew can keep the bracelet, but he does not want him mentioning his family without facing any consequences and this will not stop until he gets his hands on him. He says that McIntyre wants to run from a fight that he picked, then looks at the leather belt in his hands and says he has a way to make everyone happy.

"The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry and his son Jacob Henry are seen in the crowd.

"Big" Bronson Reed beats The Miz. After the match, Bronson Reed goes for another Tsunami. R-Truth gets The Miz out of the way, but he ends up taking the bullet as well as the brunt of another Tsunami. Officials show up as Bronson goes for a third Tsunami, but Bronson hits it anyway and goes up for a fourth. R-Truth is moved away from the corner as Bronson goes for a fifth, and General Manager Adam Pearce has to talk Bronson down. Bronson just walks to another corner and hits a fifth Tsunami despite this, and this ends Bronson's path of destruction. Pearce threatens to fine or suspend Bronson on his way out, but Bronson ignores Pearce, goes back to the ring and hits a sixth Tsunami.

Backstage, "Main Event" Jey Uso tells Sami Zayn that all he has to do is be himself and he will be champion again. Sami says he will have to win twice, but Jey says he will win twice and then they will go for tag team gold.

We hear from The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Carlito, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan). They say there are no leaders and no egos, and that Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley are a joke and that they will pay at Bash In Berlin. Finn Balor then tells Priest to watch out, as "Backstabber Balor" is about.

Backstage, we hear from Bron Breakker, who says that he will do things "the good old-fashioned way" and that actions speak louder than words. He says that he is a badass and that it is time to do badass thing.

Bron Breakker retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn two falls to one (2-1) in a two-out-of-three falls match. Sami Zayn earns the first fall with a Helluva Kick out of nowhere. Bron Breakker earns the second fall with a Gorilla Press Slam followed by two Spears.
