The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes) beat Mini Vikingo and Chaz "Starboy" Hall to advance in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Backstage, Blake Howard interviews Saquon Shugars. Saquon says he should be fighting for titles, but Tristan Angels is biting his ankles. Grayson Waller shows up and insults Saquon by considering him less than championship material as Saquon says that he faces champions because Tristan thinks while he does, then tells him he should be focused on Tristan and not him. Saquon tells Grayson to sit down and watch his match, as he will see why Saquon is up next while Tristian is up never.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Kali Armstrong meets with General Manager Robert Stone. Stone tells Armstrong that she has a shot at the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship against La Catalina tonight.

Tristan Angels beats Saquon Shugars.

In this week's NXT Focus, we hear from Tony D'Angelo, who says that Myles Borne thinks he can get somewhere with a new attitude, yet where he wants to go is where he lives. He says that Borne will not get the job done and that he is where he is because of results, then mentions Borne socking him with a roll of quarters and giving him credit where credit is due, then says he personally would have used a crowbar. D'Angelo says he may have traded a suit for jeans and a jacket, but he decides who sinks and who swims, and Borne's fate will be in his hands before he decides Grayson Waller's.

We hear from The Culling (Izzi Dame and Niko Vance). Izzi says that Zaria seems like some sort of untouchable woman, but Izzi says it must take a lot of effort to hold it all together. She says that Zaria is broken, which makes her "interesting." Izzi says that Zaria is hiding something and trying to convince everyone that she is dangerous, and says that she is a scared woman hiding behind a championship. She says this is more than about the NXT North American Women's Championship, and that she wants to reveal the true Zaria.

Wren Sinclair heads to the ring. Sinclair says that if there is one thing she can do, it is overthink, and while she could have kept her head down and played it safe, she decided to take a risk the old Wren would never do by disguising herself as Lady Shani. She says that when she won last week's battle royal and unmasked, she learned she did not have to back down anymore, and while she may not be the biggest name in NXT, she has to do this. Sinclair says that she and Kendal Grey losing their titles was a reminder of how everything they worked for can be taken away, then says Kendal believed in her even when she did not believe in herself, and that she needs to step up not just for her, but for herself. Kelani Jordan says that some people are getting too comfortable thinking they can bend the rules and get away with it, then says that Sinclair's win does not count because she is still suspended. She says that Sinclair manipulated the situation by committing identity theft and that she did not earn, then says that she is "the standout, not the handout" and refuses to face Sinclair with the NXT Women's Championship on the line at Halloween Havoc. Sinclair says that she will not get an opportunity and make a name for herself at her expense with that stunt, and says that Sinclair did not have the courage to step into the battle royal as herself. General Manager Robert Stone shows up and says that Sinclair's suspension is lifted, and that while Kelani makes some good points, Sinclair still accomplished something. He leaves it up to the fans as to whether Sinclair deserves a title opportunity, and the fans make it known they do. Stone makes it official for Halloween Havoc, and when Kelani goes for the cheap shot, Sinclair ducks and nearly strikes back, causing Kelani to fall to the mat.

Backstage, Lizzy Rain chats with Cruz Montana, who is impressed with Lizzy. Montana soon takes a phone call, and tells the person on the other end that he is proud of him for making him the man he is today. After Montana hangs up, he is attacked from behind from Dion Lennox, who takes Montana's phone, redials the last person who called Montana - who was his mother - and says that Montana will be needing her next week after he beats Montana's ass.

La Catalina retains the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship against Kali Armstong after launching Armstrong over the top rope and onto the concrete floor that Armstrong herself exposed.

Backstage, Myles Borne tells Wren Sinclair it feels good to stand up for herself, but Sinclair says that they are two completely different people due to the both of them handling things differently. All of a sudden, Kendal Grey shows up as Myles Borne says he will become one step closer to NXT Champion. Kendal and Sinclair catch up on things, and Kendal says that she is now medically cleared. Kendal and Sinclair then come up with a gameplan.

Backstage, EK Prosper meets with Mini Vikingo and Chazz "Starboy" Hall, who says it is about learning and not losing and that they will be all right. The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, Myka Lockwood) show up and tell them to leave the locker room for the victors, but Prosper says they talk too much and Starboy proposes a six-man tag match just so the three of them can shut The Vanity Project up. Jackson Drake accepts, saying it is another easy win and that the three of them stand no chance.

Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno beat Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer and Axiom) to advance in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Backstage, Blake Howard interviews The Wagner Brothers (El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno). Galeno says there is a ton of pressure coming into the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic as champions, but El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. says they will the tournament for AAA. Birthright (Lexis King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey, Uriah Connors, Arianna Grace) show up and mock The Wagner Brothers, who says that they will beat Birthright to advance in the tournament. They leave, and Charlie Dempsey says that even the best AAA has to offer is no match for Birthright.

Tony D'Angelo beats Myles Borne in an NXT Championship #1 contender's match to face Grayson Waller for the NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc after Myles Borne is distracted by a cameraman who focuses his camera exclusively on him. After the match, D'Angelo looks at the cameraman briefly, then leaves. The cameraman then enters the ring and reveals that he is Tavion Heights, who attacks Borne and powerbombs him through the announce table.

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone finds a anonymous note on his desk - from Danhausen - demanding he be made host of Halloween Havoc or else Robert Stone will be cursed.

Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno beat Los Americanos (Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano) to advance in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

We see Kendal Grey talk with the sports psychologist. She says that the hardest part of being out is that she cannot fight for what she lost, and also how she had to redshirt in her freshman year due to injury. She says that this time feels different. She knew she would be cleared for the next season in college, but this time, she has no timetable for her return, everything is gone in the snap of a finger and she is afraid that she will not come back the same. The sports psychologist asks Kendal Grey to think about who she is if she is not competing. Kendal says "I don't know."

Dorian shows up and says he can go, but Sean reminds him he has a hole in his lung. EK Prosper shows up, and he is Zilla and Legacy's third man.

Cruz Montana heads to the ring. Montana says that he made his intentions clear since entering NXT and that he is learning lessons instead of taking losses, then says he will be watching who wins the NXT Championship before DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Osiris Griffin) shows up in the crowd. Lennox says that Montana does a good job of making himself sound more important than he really is, then says that DarkState will run through the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Montana says Lennox talks tough when he has his crew, then tells him to face him in the ring like a man. Lennox says Montana was the guy in TNA and won titles in every promotions, then says that does not make Montana better than him and that Montana shakes at the very idea of structure. He says he will never relate to "eating dirt like [Montana] did" on the subject of Montana calling EK Prosper "the future." Montana says he cleaned up his own mistakes, spent years overcoming demons and learned from some of the best in the game. Montana says he has paid his dues every step of the way and earned everything he has been blessed with in and out of the ring, and that Lennox has nothing on him and that he could have used some of that. Montana says he can run rings around Lennox in every aspect of the business every single day, and says Lennox walked into wrestling because he could not cut it anywhere else, including the NFL, while he earned his way in. Montana says he carries his city, his family and his people on his back while Lennox thinks he is entitled to what he wants. Lennox mentions Montana's mother being a drug dealer, saying his wasn't and that he did things right to the point WWE begged him to be here. He then notes that despite that, the fans hate him but love Montana because Montana was a drug dealer who has it all together and walks around like a hero when he became the man he should have been from day one. Lennox says Montana had to lose everything to become somebody while he has been somebody his entire life. Montana punches him in the face, and officials have to break up the brawl as it heads to the back.

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone congratulates Mason Rook on becoming #1 contender for the NXT Championship and has given him an open mic tonight. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger tell Mason Rook to go with his gut tonight. Mason Rook leaves, then Hank and Tank address the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, saying that they are helping themselves to the tag team division for the time being.

The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) beat Jax Presley and Harley Riggins to advance in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

In this week's NXT Spotlight, we look back on Myles Borne's betrayal of Tavion Heights from last week.

Birthright (Lexis King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Uriah Connors) beat Zilla Fatu, EK Prosper and "Super" Sean Legacy in a six-man tag match after Arianna Grace distracts the referee, keeping EK Prosper from tagging in and allowing Uriah Connors to take advantage and pin Sean Legacy with an inside cradle for the win. After the match, Lexis King gets in Zilla Fatu's face, and Zilla smacks him before Stacks can save Lexis King from the Triple Z.

Backstage, Emily Agard interviews Zaria, who says there is a difference between beating her in a tag match and beating her in a championship match. All of a sudden, some old footage shows up on the nearby monitor as Izzi Dame shows up. Zaria leaves embarrassed, and Izzi says no good deed goes unpunished.

Grayson Waller heads to the ring. He is soon joined by Mason Rook, and the two of them have a face-to-face meeting in the ring. Grayson refuses to let Mason have a microphone before asking if the spotlight is too bright before saying it is where he wants to be, then says he is bringing prestige back to the NXT Championship against the best and that nobody is better - or hungrier - than Mason Rook. Grayson addresses all they left behind to chase their dreams, then states that they are not the same before mocking Mason and stating he could roast Mason like a pig in a luau with a twenty-minute stand-up routine before giving Mason credit where credit is due. He says that Mason has so much potential, but is not willing to do that much extra hard work to become what he is meant to be, then says that Mason is soft, complacent and happy to be here, then says he will take Mason to the deepest waters and drown him. After stating that Mason will eventually quit against him, then hands him the microphone. Mason tells Grayson that he is not an idiot, then says there is a theory about why Grayson in NXT and that he did not quite fit the vision on the main roster. He also mentions that unlike Grayson, John Cena knew who he was before he stepped in a WWE ring, then says he will not play Grayson's game because Grayson cannot play his. Mason then asks what will really happen when the bell rings. Mason says Grayson will drown in his deepest water and that he is here because he earned the right to be in WWE by being the best big man in the ring, and that as great as Grayson is at running his mouth, he will realize that he is over his head and his promo skills will not save him.

Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

Myles Borne is in the ring. Borne asks Tavion Heights to come to the ring so he can personally apologize to him, man-to-man. Tavion Heights show up and heads to the ring. Borne thanks Tavion for coming to the ring, and Tavion says they have been through a lot and that brothers fight. He then says that Borne crossed the line at Heatwave, and Borne says that he jumped the gun and that he was paranoid. He says that they both had no idea how it would be if they lost their titles, and says sorry. Tavion says he appreciates the apology, but that his back is still sore from where he still stabbed him after he lost his first title in NXT. He says that this is not something that one can just forget, and that maybe that time has passed. Myles Borne brings up Tavion Heights challenging him for the North American Championship and feeling like a bad brother, and how he was able to forgive Tavion together. Borne says that they are unstoppable together and that nobody can take away the memories they have had. He says that he is not proud of what he has done and that Tavion can relate, then asks Tavion do for him what he did for Tavion and to forgive him so they can start fresh again. Tavion acknowledges that he had a part to play in all of this, and Borne says that they need to balance that success without it overshadowing their friendship. Borne says he cannot take back what he did, but he loves Tavion like a brother.

Shugars tells Tristan to stop "hating outside of the club" and to watch him win the NXT Championship.

Kelani Jordan heads to the ring. She says she should have known from when she won the NXT Women's Championship on the first shot that she would be setting a new standard as champion. Kelani says she is not like other champions because she puts her money where he mouth is and succeeds every single time, but every time she wins, another woman want to make it about herself. She says that while Wren Sinclair got suspended, she debuted on Raw in Mexico City, Mexico, then says that nobody is coming for her title because they are all too intimidated to step up. As Kelani says that she is setting a new standard and that nobody is doing it like her, the new AAA Reina de Reinas Champion, La Catalina, suddenly shows up and heads to the ring.La Catalina says that Kelani Jordan is not the only one setting records in WWE and that she will be the one taking women's wrestling in Mexico to the next level. Suddenly, Zaria shows up. Zaria says they can both talk about standards all they want, but when it comes to dominant champions, her name had better be in the conversation, as neither Kelani or La Catalina are unifying titles. As Zaria says that Thea Hail's win against her was a fluke, Thea Hail shows up and says it is time somebody talked about her, saying that she can hang with anyone in the ring and the fans know it. She says she may be the youngest in the ring, but she is finding her footing and she is championship material, as she tapped out the Women's North American Champion and she has to do it one more time to win the title again. This leads to a two-on-two brawl, and Thea Hail and La Catalina get the better of Kelani Jordan and Zaria.

We hear from Tony D'Angelo, who says that people do not change and that people carry their past with them. He says he is glad to face Mason Rook and Saquon Shugars on the way back to the NXT Championship, as Saquon helped take what he once had and Mason Rook tried to earn his stripes on his first day by taking him out. D'Angelo says that people do not change, but neither does he, and he is the once and future NXT Champion.

Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair head to the ring for the NXT Heatwave Summit. Kendal says she has heard everything that Kelani Jordan has had to say, and while Kelani is good, she keeps making excuses. Kendal says she has gone from being Evolve Women's Champion from NXT Women's Champion in the last year. Kendal says that Kelani can keep calling herself "the standout," but she is the benchmark, especially when she took risks, defended her titles more often than every 100 days and did not take time off. Kendal says the target is on her back, and Kelani had better not miss. Kelani shows up and says she put that target on Kendal's back and that it will only take her one shot to beat her, because on Sunday, she will take Kendal's title and put her on the bench. Sinclair says they will be in her home state, and that she and Kendal will stay champions.

Security quickly moves in to restore order. Zilla Fatu suddenly shows up and takes out multiple people with a dive off the top rope to the outside before taking the NXT Championship and raising it up in the corner while Kendal and Sinclair raise their titles up to end the show.

He says that Zilla made a big mistake and that he is not scared of him or his family before mockingly stating that he is happy Zilla is here because the ankle monitor is off and he can finally roam free.

Do The Evolution - Evolve recap for May 28, 2025

Jackson Drake beats Jordan Oasis and Lince Dorado in a Play-In Triple Threat Match for the Evolve Championship. During the match, Brad Baylor tries to pull Lince Dorado out of the ring but fails, and that leads to Lince Dorado chasing both Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes to the back before Jackson Drake hits Jordan Oasis with The Unaliving for the win and the title shot.

Backstage, The High Ryze (Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe) talk about their match with Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel. Tyson says they are quick and exciting, but Tyriek says they are not explosive and powerful like they are. He says it will be their power vs. Cappuccino and Cartwheel's speed, and Tyson says they will run into a brick wall. Tyriek says speed vs. power will apply pressure and that the pressure will make Cappuccino and Cartwheel explode.

We hear from It's Gal, who is poolside at home after a workout. He calls Troy Yearwood "a Gal wannabe" and says he has the best physique, not Yearwood, and gives him his first and final warning to stay out of his way, as "when you're in mint condition, there is no competiton."

Jackson Drake shows up unannounced and says that weeek after week, The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, "The Real Deal" Zayda Steel, Bryce Donovan) have proven that they are the hottest thing going on Evolve in more ways that one and that they are just getting started. Drake says he will bring more drip to The Vanity Project next week when he wins the Evolve Championship, then Edris Enofé shows up and says he finds it hilarious that Drake calls himself the hottest thing going when he is standing here right now. He says that next week is a moment he has waited for for a very long time, as he has worked for the last four years to keep this from slipping through his fingers. He then tells Drake that he is leaving empty-handed when he leaves with the title, then "Super" Sean Legacy shows up. Legacy brings up The Vanity Project recruiting the help of Lexis King to keep him from competing in the Fatal 4-Way for the Evolve Championship, and while Lexis King was the better man that night, he is still standing. Legacy tells Enofé that he respects his journey, but they both have an opportunity waiting and that he has waited eight years and fought up the food chain to start his legacy and become Evolve Champion. Jackson Drake says he is tired of listening to Enofé and Legacy, and says that neither of them are qualified like he is. As he leaves, he backs into Keanu Carver. Enofé and Legacy approach Drake, then they and Carver all get a free punch to the face before referees show up to restore order.

Backstage, Chuey Martinez interviews Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel. Cappuccino says the pot is hot and extra large tonight, and while The High Ryze (Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe) are big, they cannot hit what they cannot catch. Cartwheel says it is their speed against their power, and Cappuccino says the gameplan is "stick and move." Cappuccino says they have a triple shot of energy ready to hit them in the mouth and that he and Cartwheel are about to turn Evolve on its head.

The High Ryze (Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe) beat Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel. During the match, Wes Lee shows up in Tyson and Tyriek's corner.

Carlee is then introduced to Jin Tala, who will be her opponent next week. Carlee and Jin Tala shake hands.

Backstage, Natalya announces that she will be watching the women's Fatal 4-Way Match for the Evolve Women's Champonship tonight and that she will be awarding the championship to the winner of the match.

Backstage, we hear from The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyriek Igwe, Tyson Dupont). Tyriek says power beats speed everytime, but Tyson admits that Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel are pretty fast and that training with the fastest makes it so that they do not stand a chance. Wes Lee states that Tyriek and Tyson have been causing a ruckus in Evolve and that he has arrived to see what the noise is about. He says that Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel has plenty of potential, but that potential does not measure up to theirs, and if they have a problem, they can see him next week. Tyson says they have not seen the last of them, then The High Ryze leave to celebrate.

Backstage, Timothy Thatcher is met by "Super" Sean Legacy regarding The Vanity Project ("The Real Deal" Zayda Steel, Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, Bryce Donovan) and Lexis King, stating that they are getting a little too cozy and that he does not trust them. 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. Kylie punches Zayda, but Armstrong quickly comes out on top in the ensuing brawl. Suddenly, Kendal Gray shows up and slams Armstrong around before Armstrong high-tails it out of the ring.

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.
