AT WWE PERFORMANCE CENTER<br \/>\nAIRED ON TUBI<br \/>\nREPORT BY DAVID MILLER, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentators: Peter Rosenberg, Blake Howard<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ring Announcer: Mike Rome<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Correspondent: Chuey Martinez<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>-Evolve Champion Aaron Rourke narrated a video introduction to the show. He commented on his title defense against Tristan Angels, saying Angels earned it, but he also earned an ass-whipping. \u201cSorry, not sorry, pretty boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) HARLEM LEWIS vs. BRAXTON COLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lewis attacked Cole as he was making his ring entrance, then pitched him in the ring. Once referee Jeremy Marcus backed them into opposite corners and determined they were ready, he called for the bell. Lewis charged across the ring, but Cole, who still hadn\u2019t removed his ring jacket, moved out of the way and delivered a neckbreaker on Lewis after he bounced out of the corner. Cole slid out of his jacket and went on the attack, but it was short-lived. Lewis told Cole that he ruined his moment and mounted another attack.<\/p>\n<p>Both men seemed pretty evenly matched, trading offense quicker than one of those quick-change artists on America\u2019s Got Talent. Cole finally slowed the pace down by methodically working on Lewis\u2019s left shoulder. Lewis countered with a sidewalk slam but hurt himself in the process. He fought through the pain and threw a German suplex, then followed him out to the ring, where the two traded hard blows as the referee counted. Cole reached over the barricade, grabbed a chair, and blasted Lewis in the arm right in front of the referee, who called for an immediate disqualification.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Harlem Lewis by disqualification at 4:52.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-256705611\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>(Miller\u2019s Take: This was intense while it lasted, and a good opening bout. Lewis has the look of someone you wouldn\u2019t want to make angry, while Cole seems to have the spoiled college kid character down pat. Obviously, this feud is to be continued.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-After the match, Foreman Thatcher\u2019s security came out, but instead of focusing on the perpetrator of the illegalities, they instead yanked up Lewis hard by his injured arm and escorted him to the back as if he was the problem. Interesting development.<\/p>\n<p>-Speaking of Foreman Thatcher, Tate Wilder reported to his office as requested. After disposing of a broken pencil he was trying to fix, he told Wilder that he\u2019d done everything that had been asked of him, beat Kam Hendrix, and proved his worth. He told Wilder that Robert Stone wanted him to focus on NXT full-time now. He muttered that Hendrix would continue to split his time, but Wilder is working Tuesday nights now. Wilder thanked Thatcher and put over Evolve and his time there before leaving. Thatcher looked into the camera and said his night had just begun. He said he was finalizing some big news that he would announce before the title match tonight. He said the winner of that match would have a huge opportunity, then exclaimed it was time to get back to work. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-A video package was shown of Chazz \u201cStarboy\u201d Hall. He said it was all in the denim, and he had the most heart, fighting spirit, and the cutest smile.<\/p>\n<p>-Tristan Angels was shown spritzing himself with oil in preparation for his upcoming title challenge.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;Wrestling Coast to Coast&#8221; with Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wrestling-coast-to-coast-maitland-mcclelland-review-gotham-wrestling-including-five-boroughs-tournament-plus-wweid-news-more--72200388\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wrestling Coast to Coast - Maitland &amp; McClelland review Gotham Wrestling including Five Boroughs Tournament, plus WWEID news, more\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=72200388&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) SLOANE JACOBS &amp; NIKKITA LYONS vs. LAYNIE LUCK &amp; WENDY CHOO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Karmen Petrovic was shown watching from the VIP Lounge before Lyons and Luck squared off at the bell. They traded rollups before Jacobs took the tag. She made a quick tag back to Lyons after some double-teaming, but Choo took the tag and showed off a little teamwork with Luck as well. Laynie showed some Sol Ruca-ish athletic ability against Lyons and Jacobs. After putting both of their opponents down on the outside, Choo and Luck posed on the apron before they cut to a single, quick commercial. [c]<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-784471833\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Back from the break, Luck was getting worked over by the heel team. Jacobs thumped on Luck a bit before playing basketball with her head on the mat. She got a near fall, then tagged out to Lyons. Luck managed to get away from her foes and hot-tagged the champ in. Choo dropped Lyons and Sloane, then hit a high cross body for a two-count on Jacobs. Sloane caught Choo with a headscissors in the corner and pulled her head into the turnbuckle pad before releasing her into the waiting arms of Lyons, who delivered a German suplex for a two-count before Luck broke up the pin.<\/p>\n<p>Lyons slipped out of a double suplex attempt and tagged Jacobs. Lyons threw a spin kick that Luck ducked, but Choo ate. Luck threw Lyons out of the ring, then was subsequently thrown out by Jacobs, who scurried over to a fallen Choo to cover her for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Sloane Jacobs &amp; Nikkita Lyons at 7:16.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Miller\u2019s Take: This match should have been better than it was, considering the talent involved. Luck looked most impressive. Lyons continues to improve every week. Jacobs has an attitude and a marketable look and seems to be a decent hand in the ring. Choo\u2019s work was solid, if a bit unimpressive. I\u2019d rather Choo focus on defending her title against competent competition than get mired in a tag team feud that\u2019s going to go nowhere.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-After the match, Chuey Martinez caught the winners at ringside for a post-match interview. He told Jacobs she got her shot against Choo next week. Jacobs bragged about getting a title shot so quickly while Lyons made faces, clearly unimpressed. Jacobs said she couldn\u2019t have done it without Big Kat Kita. Lyons said, \u201cI\u2019m so happy for you. Go get it, girl.\u201d Lyons rolled her eyes as Jacobs embraced her.<\/p>\n<p>-Foreman Timothy Thatcher was with EliJah Holyfield in his office. Thatcher told Holyfield he had the pedigree, but it wouldn\u2019t get him far around here without hard work. Holyfield told Thatcher to line them up, and he\u2019d knock them out. He said he\u2019d go through the whole roster, then walked off after Thatcher told him his next match was next week. The Foreman then announced Evolve Succession III for June 24th on Tubi. He said both titles will be on the line that night. He was interrupted by Kam Hendrix and Harley Riggins bursting into his office. Hendrix complained about having to split his time between Evolve and NXT while Wilder gets the spotlight for himself. Riggins complained about Romeo Moreno and asked for a match with him. Thatcher told him to be careful what he asks for, then granted him the match.<\/p>\n<p>-Tristan Angels and Evolve Champion Aaron Rourke made their ring entrances before they cut to another quick commercial. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-A brief video re-introducing P.J. Vasa was shown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) AARON ROURKE (c) vs. TRISTAN ANGELS \u2013 Evolve Championship Match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mike Rome handled the official ring introductions for the main event. It\u2019s Gal was shown in the VIP Lounge, chanting, \u201cLet\u2019s go dummies!\u201d. Angels backed Rourke into the corner and said, \u201cI told you Sparkle City dies today.\u201d Rourke shoved Angels to the mat and said, \u201cYou need to learn how to shut your mouth.\u201d Angels showed great ring presence during an offensive charge. Rourke came back with some fancy offense that took the challenger to the mat. He hit a handspring into a double-handed chest chop that blistered Angels.<\/p>\n<p>Angels came back to lift Rourke by the arm and drop him unceremoniously over the top rope. Angels continued working over the champ\u2019s arm, but woke up Rourke when he started shoving him in the face. Rourke sent Angels crashing to the floor with a dropkick, then hit a meteora before rolling him back into the ring. He looked down at It\u2019s Gal, who was cheering him on, and told him to go away because he didn\u2019t need him. Gal sulked off while Angels took advantage of the distraction to take control of the match. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Rourke came back to life, flipped to his feet, and went for a Molly-Go-Round, but Angels moved out of the way. With Rourke perched on the top turnbuckle, Angels kicked him off. He went for a tornado DDT off the turnbuckle, but Rourke yanked him hard to the mat and applied a figure four, then arched into a figure eight. Angels broke free and hit a double thrust to the throat. Rourke slipped in a backslide and floated over with it for extra leverage for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Aaron Rourke at 11:20 to retain the Evolve Championship.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Miller\u2019s Take: This was a fine main event title defense. Rourke looks sharp as a tack. Having his waist adorned by that title belt has given him confidence and swagger. He carries himself like a champion in and out of the ring. Angels has all the tools to become a major player in WWE with a lot more seasoning.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-As Rourke celebrated his successful title defense, The Mog Squad came out. Max Abrams said the main man needs the main title. With that, Abrams, Jacari Ball, Santi Rivera, and C.J. Valor surrounded the ring. Rourke was ready to take them all on when Cappuccino Jones arrived. He motioned for someone else to come out, and Sam Holloway and Marcus Mathers ran out. The three of them jumped into the ring to make if a four-on-four fight. A brawl ensued as \u201cto be continued\u201d flashed on the screen before the show abruptly ended.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> This was an average outing for the purple brand. The first match was intense, even though cut short by Cole\u2019s illegal shenanigans. The match in the middle wasn\u2019t much more than filler and seemed to move in slow motion. The last match had it going on, with the fabulous Rourke upstaging the arrogant Englishman. With the show-ending brawl, Rosenberg remarked that it was ID 2.0 vs. ID 1.0. It will be interesting to see where It\u2019s Gal will fit into all of this. Gal sitting on a couch, chanting, \u201cLet\u2019s go dummies,\u201d was a personal favorite moment of the night.
