Evolution 2025 - The LIVE Results

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Rhea Ripley.

Backstage, Megan Morant interviews Trish Stratus. Trish says she is not only trying to prove that she can still wrestle, but she wants to do this for her daughter and also prove that she can always reinvent herself. She says that it is not over "until you say it's over," although "Tiffy Time" is the exception to that.

Backstage, Jordynne Grace is met by Blake Monroe, who thanks her for the victory yesterday. Jordynne says the spa trip was well needed. Blake says that if she can beat Jacy Jayne, then so can Jordynne. Jordynne says that Jacy will have Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx with her at the ready to keep Jacy as NXT Women's Champion and admits she does not know how many opportunity she will have at the NXT Women's title, and says it would mean a lot to her if Blake Monroe was in her corner. Blake does not want to take away from Jordynne's moment, but Jordynne tells her she will not, and that it would mean a lot if she said "yes." Blake tells Jordynne she will see her out there.
