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, 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.

Kylie hopes to win her way into the Fatal 4-Way Match and become Evolve Women's Championship. She admits her loss to Wendy Choo still hurts, but she is not focused on that.

Backstage, Troy Yearwood from LFG signs a contract to be part of Evolve. Yearwood says he looks forward to proving that he belongs in NXT, then It's Gal shows up and brags about beating up Javier Bernal. Prime Minister Stevie Turner tells him to go away and take the loss, and Yearwood stands up for her when Gal interrupts. Gal walks away, and Turner thanks Yearwood before welcoming him to Evolve.

Tyriek proclaims that they are here for checks and championships, and that this is a lifestyle and not a mantra. Tyson proclaims they are ready to fight and ready for someone to step up and catch a beatdown, as nobody wants them to come looking. When Gallus (Mark and Joe Coffey) show up for the next match, they dare Tyriek and Tyson to come fight them.

We hear from Jordan Oasis, who talks about his start in professional wrestling ten years ago with Rikishi and how he is trying to figure out exactly who he is in the ring. We also hear from Sam Holloway, who dealt with a lot of bullying as a kid and reciprocated it on everyone when he got older and that he has no remorse teaching everyone "the hard way." He says that he quit football 48 hours in because he did not love it, and that he really loved striking fear into people's eyes, which he could not do in football.

Gallus (Joe and Mark Coffey) beat Jordan Oasis and Sam Holloway by referee stoppage after Joe Coffey hits Oasis with a knockout punch following Wolfgang showing up and distracting Holloway, who is not on the same page with Oasis during the match.

Kylie Rae mentions that she has never met Wendy Choo and that after last week, she does not know if she wants to go to know Wendy Choo, as she scares her. She says she has a lot of talented women to focus on the locker room and that Wendy's note - which she tosses away along with the teddy bear that came with it - is the last thing she wants to focus on. Wendy Choo appears on the nearby Videotron, and Zara Zahker shows up to figure out what is going on only for a spooked Kylie Rae to nearly hit her.

We hear from Drako Knox, who comes from a working class family and considers himself lucky to play college football. He says he has always been a fan of WWE and that he was all in when he got the call, and that WWE was the lottery ticket that represented hope for him. He says the difference between this and a real lottery ticket is that he calls his shot and he controls his own destiny. We also hear from Tate Wilder, a fifth-generation rancher and cowboy with experience in multiple sports, including college football, where he turned a walk-on into a full ride scholarship. He says that everything he went through has brought him here to WWE. He considers himself a combination of Matthew McConaughey and "the baddest man to ever ride a bull" J.B. Mooney, and when he is the ring, there is not a soul in the world who can stop him from doing what he needs to do.

Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe beat Drako Knox and Tate Wilder after Drako Knox misses a running knee in the corner and hurts his knee as a result.

The Rock says the fans have brought a side of him that has not been seen in years yet has always been within him all along, and that it is out because of him and Roman Reigns being in the best main event in WrestleMania history until the fans "flushed it down the toilet." After making fun of the fans for sitting on said toilet tweeting that Cody should finish his story, he asks what story Cody even has after Roman beat him last year, then asks the fans to apply the logic of Cody's story to this year's Super Bowl or Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls beating the Utah Jazz in 1998.The Rock says one does not get another shot at their story because they wanted it, then says the fans do not get it because they are "spoiled, entitled crybaby bitches" and that he will do everything in his power Cody Rhodes walks out of WrestleMania as a loser.

He says that for 269 days, the title stood for hard work and opportunity and made him into a better athlete, as he put his heart and soul into the title, and he demands a rematch. Rhea states that NXT needs a new North American Champion, and Wes Lee agrees that NXT needs a North American Champion tonight. Mustafa Ali shows up and says he has love and respect for Wes Lee, but none for Dominik. He says that Dominik stole the North American Championship from him like he steals both of his father's signature moves before stating that Wes lee dropped the ball last week.

She says she is the epitome of what a women's champion is as she puts in the work more and looks better than everyone else, and she says that she did not reach her first premium live event to have everything taken away from her by Thea Hail. Tiffany says Thea is a living energy drink who can run from here to Texas. She says that she did not tap out at Gold Rush and that the referee did not happen, and that she has given Thea Hail the rematch she and the fans wanted out of the goodness of her heart. Tiffany then says Thea attacking her to making their match a submission match "despicable," then says that after The Great American Bash, the universe will still revolve around her and she will still be NXT Women's Champion.

He also says that he could make his decision right now, but before he does, Baron Corbin shows up and tells Gable to be careful what he says next, as it could determine his entire future. Corbin advises him to go back to back to either college or the Olympics. He wants Gable not to come to NXT, for if he does, he will do something he has never done before: fail.
