COLD OPEN: Jesse Ventura’s Championship Celebration
We open on location at Gold’s Gym, Venice Beach, where the air smells like protein powder and freedom.
Jesse “The Body” Ventura, freshly crowned EVOLVE Champion, flexes atop a golden weight bench, title draped over his shoulder like a silk robe. Around him, The Flex Squad is in full celebration mode:
Flex Fuller (sporting a red bandana and 80s shades) pours Muscle Milk into a blender full of creatine and fireworks.
Lex Luger and Powerhouse Hobbs are curling dumbbells the size of microwaves in synchronized motion.
Brian Cage, shirtless and oiled up, does one-handed pushups while yelling, “FOR THE FLEX GODS!”
Billy Biceps and Mike Muscle, Flex’s ride-or-die trainers, unveil a giant protein cake shaped like the EVOLVE title.
Jesse shouts into the camera:
> “I told you all the Body still had gas in the tank! And now this tank is rolling into SummerSlam with 24-inch python politics for a 24 time champ, and military-grade muscles!”
Cue dramatic zoom on his shades as fireworks erupt from barbells.
Opening Theme Rolls.
MATCH 1: Bayley vs. Taya Valkyrie
The opening contest brings the crowd to their feet with Bayley, the Hugger turned Submission Specialist, going toe-to-toe with the powerhouse Taya Valkyrie.
Taya controls the early match with brute force — shoulder tackles, hair whips, and a thunderous sit-out powerbomb that gets a close 2-count. Bayley fights back with clever ring IQ, targeting Taya’s left leg and ducking a spinning lariat to hit a top-rope elbow drop.
Midway through, Taya counters the Bayley-to-Belly with a Samoan Drop, but Bayley recovers, dodges a spear into the corner, and hits a Rose Plant for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Bayley defeats Taya Valkyrie via Rose Plant (12:44)
Bayley high-fives ringside fans, shouting, “I’m coming for gold!”

Backstage.
HBP (The Heartbreak Punk) — is looking in the mirror and talking to himself:
> “You are a somebody. You are still important. Being a driver is honest work.”
Suddenly, Goldberg walks up, annoyed.
Goldberg: “Watch it, kid.”
HBP: “Sorry, old man. Didn’t realize bald and brooding was trending again.”
Goldberg squints. “That’s it.”
He throws a sidekick, but HBP ducks… and Goldberg kicks Bret Hart, who just happens to be walking behind him holding a coffee. Bret crumples to the floor like a folding chair.
HBP yells: “Holy Shit I think he’s dead!”
Goldberg: “Damn it! Why do these accidents keep happening?”
HBP “What? Has something like this happened before?!”
Medics rush in as Bret groans.

MATCH 2: Lita vs. Raquel Rodriguez
The ring is rocking as WWE Legend Lita locks up with the powerhouse Raquel Rodriguez in an epic clash.
Raquel dominates early, catching Lita mid-hurricanrana and turning it into a ring-rattling slam. Lita uses her speed and resilience, hitting a twist DDT off the ropes and a suicide dive to the outside that lights up the Performance Center.
Raquel attempts the Tejana Bomb, but Lita counters into a headscissors takedown. After a second-rope tornado DDT, Lita hits a flawless Lita-sault for the win.
Winner: Lita defeats Raquel Rodriguez via Moonsault (10:02)
Post-match, Lita helps Raquel up in a sign of respect.

SEGMENT: Stephanie McMahon’s Women’s Division Appreciation
In-ring, GM Stephanie McMahon praises Naomi for her trailblazing role in evolving the Women’s Division, presenting her with a crystal trophy and a custom neon jacket.
Before Naomi can speak, Trish Stratus’s music hits.
Stratus struts to the ring in full energy.
Trish:
> “Wow, Naomi. You’ve glowed for years, but maybe someone who stratusfied the women’s division should be at SummerSlam instead?”
Naomi raises an eyebrow.
Stephanie cuts in:
> “Ladies, there’s plenty of spotlight at SummerSlam. Settle this in the ring next week. Title on the line. Winner goes to SummerSlam!”
Naomi and Trish stare down as the crowd buzzes.

MAIN EVENT: Tiffany Stratton vs. Indi Hartwell
Tiffany Stratton, the self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe,” puts on a clinic of athletic arrogance and ring awareness. Indi Hartwell, however, brings a gritty underdog fight, grounding Tiffany with stiff forearms and slams.
Tiffany reverses a superplex attempt into a sunset bomb, and both women crash hard. A “This is awesome!” chant breaks out.
Indi rallies with a big boot and spinebuster for a near fall, but Tiffany dodges her springboard elbow, climbs the top rope, and hits the Prettiest Moonsault Ever with perfect elevation.
1-2-3. Stratton wins.
Winner: Tiffany Stratton defeats Indi Hartwell via Prettiest Moonsault Ever (14:22)
Suddenly…
RHEA RIPLEY hits the ring like a storm.
She blindsides Tiffany with a headbutt, then nails her with Riptide in the center of the ring. Rhea grabs the mic:
> “Princesses fall. Champions rise.”
The show fades with Rhea standing tall and Tiffany writhing in pain.
