Mini Vikingo beats Jack Cartwheel and Dragon Lee in a Triple Threat Match to become #1 contender for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship.

Backstage, General Manager Rey Mysterio meets with El Grande Americano. Rey admits that he does not know what El Grande Americano has planned, and warns him that Los Perros del Mal has contained some of the most dangerous badasses in lucha libre for many years. He says that El Grande Americano was attacked because he is the biggest dog in the yard and that they have already marked their territory, and that he cannot fight them alone. El Grande Americano agrees, and says that if he has been made a target, then he is not taking a step back. He also agrees that he cannot win this war alone. Suddenly, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and blames what has happened on Rey before stating that Los Perros del Mal (Angel, Berto, Daga, Bronco Nima, Karmen Petrovic) is full of opportunists. Rey holds his tongue out of the fact that Dominik has decided to return to AAA, then leaves. Dominik says he stayed out of El Grande Americano's mask vs. mask match because he knew none of them would win and eventually face him in the biggest TripleMania match AAA has ever seen, and that the match will not happen if El Grande Americano is in a hospital bed thanks to Los Perros del Mal. Dominik says that if El Grande Americano is a target, then so is he, and if they come, they must have each other's backs. El Grande Americano says he will believe that when he sees it.

Backstage, Dorian Roldan, who is holding the AAA Latin American Championship, tells Omos that tonight is his night and that what happened to El Hijo del Vikingo last week is unfortunate. They suddenly run into Mini Vikingo, and Omos almost has to hold Mini Vikingo back.

Dorian Roldan and Omos head to the ring. Roldan announces that due to the negligence of General Manager Rey Mysterio, El Hijo del Vikingo has a knee injury, and despite an operation last week, he will be out for months. He says that El Hijo del Vikingo deserves respect, especially when he was sent to North America and got hurt because of Rey Mysterio, who Roldan states that he will sue personally for negligence. He says that if Rey does not take priority, then he will make an executive decision himself and name a new AAA Latin American Champion: Omos, who he gives the title to. Roldan says that if anyone has a problem with Omos as champion, then they can get in the ring, look Omos in the eyes and try to take the title away. Suddenly, Rey Mysterio shows up and heads to the ring. He wishes the best for El Hijo del Vikingo, especially after having so many knee injuries himself, and hopes that El Hijo del Vikingo gets better. Rey then says that Roldan does not have the right to name a new champion, then demands Omos one time only to relinquish the AAA Latin American Championship. Omos approaches Rey and dwarfs him in size as Rey demands that Omos do the right thing or get suspended from AAA indefinitely. Omos hands the title to Rey, but not without shoving him into the ring ropes. Rey declares the AAA Latin American Championship vacant, and that next week, he will announce how a new champion will be crowned. Rey then tells Dorian Roldan that if he wants to sue him, then he will see him in court.

We hear from Damian Priest, who tells General Manager Rey Mysterio that if he needs a new AAA Latin American Champion, then he need look no further, for he is here.

General Manager Rey Mysterio takes questions from the press. He announces that Verano de Escandalo will be a three-week televised event with a main event each week. He announces that at the event, Mini Vikingo will face Rey Fenix for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship, while Flammer will defend the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship in a Triple Threat Match against La Catalina and Lady Shani. He also mentions that La Hiedra has approached him about the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships and has been given one more opportunity in which she teams up with Laredo Kid against Joaquin Wilde and the returning Faby Apache, with the winners facing Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana for the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships at Verano de Escandalo. On the subject of El Hijo del Vikingo, Rey announces that Vikingo will be out of action for months, which happens in wrestling, and that this will open up some opportunities. He will have more details next week on what is planned, and says that he is truly excited for it. Rey says he personally owes Andrade Bazarte a phone call, and invites her to AAA next week, as they have a lot to talk about.

Money Machine (Colmillo de Plata and Garra de Oro) vs. Noisy Boy and Epydemius Jr. ends with both teams being attacked by Los Perros del Mal (Angel, Berto, Daga, Bronco Nima, Karmen Petrovic). Daga then calls out El Grande Americano so they can settle things, or else they will continue to attack Money Machine, who have had their clothes ripped apart by Los Perros del Mal. El Grande Americano shows up and brings Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano with him. This leads to a brawl, and Los Perros del Mal easily overpower the three of them. All of a sudden, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up with a metal folding chair and forces Los Perros del Mal to retreat. He says that he does not know why Los Perros del Mal is here, but they will not mess with his business, and challenges two members of Los Perros del Mal to a tag team match against himself and El Grande Americano.

Flammer says nobody has been able to take the title from her for 1,000 days and that she will soon beat Sussy Love - who Las Toxicas calls "the ugly one with the blue hair" before asking if she still works at AAA - so people cannot say they did not pay attention to her, then she will hold the biggest celebration anyone has ever seen in Mexico City on April 11th, complete with music, celebrities, boys and bottles of expensive champagne from Paris, France that are opened for winners.

El Ojo (Dorian Roldan, Omos, El Hijo del Vikingo) heads to the ring. Roldan admits he did not expect much from the fans, and says that if one does not know that Puebla has produced some of the best luchadors, then one does not know lucha libre. He says that El Hijo del Vikingo has been betrayed by his people, by his company and by the entire town, and that Vikingo is the best wrestler pound-for-pound. El Hijo del Vikingo calls Mini Vikingo "a stupid fool" for getting involved in his match and says he has no idea what he has gotten himself into. He says that he put Mini Vikingo in the hospital and left his mother crying, then says that next time, he will want to give his mother a lot of tissues, as he will send him to the morgue. He then says that Puebla has the best wrestlers, yet the people of the city have not given him respect, and therefore, he will leave Puebla, and the people will miss him, as he will go where the AAA fans cannot go - WWE and WrestleMania - because he will be going for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Vikingo says he has seen Penta in the back with "his stupid little dance," then calls him out so he can accept his challenge. Penta shows up and heads to the ring, then asks Vikingo if he is really coming for his title before stating that Vikingo was a great wrestler when he left AAA but is now hanging with people who ruin everything they touch. He tells Vikingo to learn to pronounce "Intercontinental" first, then says that everyone in Puebla hates Vikingo. He says that Vikingo needs to learn respect, as he does not have the respect of the city of Puebla or even his own mother, then reminds him that he was Vikingo was fighting for a position in AAA when he left, and now, he is going to bust him open. Penta tells Vikingo that he has his match, and Vikingo proposes they fight for the Intercontinental title on April 11th in Mexico City. Penta says that this is more than perfect, and accepts the challenge before giving him "the little walk [he] was worried about."

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.

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.

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.

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.
