Opening Segment – “Power Moves at Power Strength Gym”
The show opens with a pre-recorded video from the Power Strength Gym.
Flex Fuller, Lex Luger, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Brian Cage—collectively known as the Flex Squad—are spotted laughing in a tight circle, bench pressing like madmen and showing off their vascularity. The camera pans to reveal Jesse “The Body” Ventura, leaning coolly against a wall in sunglasses, arms crossed.
Flex gets serious and says,
> “We’ve crushed the gym scene. We’ve dominated every ring we’ve stepped in. But there’s one more thing—the Evolve Title. Jesse, we want you to be the fifth man. Join us, and we’ll take over the wrestling world.”
Jesse, with a smirk, replies:
> “I walked through minefields before you ever picked up a dumbbell. I don’t join. I lead. Thanks, but no thanks.”
Suddenly, the mood shifts. Lex Luger nods and Cage shoves Jesse. Hobbs delivers a brutal clothesline. The Flex Squad gang up on Jesse and beat him down right in front of the squat rack. Jesse is left laid out on the gym mat, coughing and clutching his ribs.
Flex Fuller kneels down and growls into the camera:
> “Next week, Jesse… we’re bringing a fifth man. And he’s going to take that Evolve Title off your broken body.”

Match 1: Indi Hartwell vs. Lita
Special Guest Referee: Nikki Bella
Peter Rosenberg calls this one “a generational collision.” The crowd is hot as Lita returns to an EVOLVE ring. Nikki Bella enters to a mixed but loud reaction in her black-and-white referee shirt.
The match:
Indi starts strong with power-based offense.
Lita uses speed and agility, hitting a hurricanrana and a twist of fate mid-match.
Nikki keeps things fair but noticeably doesn’t count fast for Lita’s pin attempts.
Late in the match, Lita climbs the top rope for a moonsault, but Indi trips her, causing her to crash hard.
Indi capitalizes with a modified sit-out powerbomb for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Indi Hartwell via pinfall
Post-match, Nikki raises Indi’s hand, and the crowd murmurs. Rosenberg says, “You have to wonder… is Nikki all-in on this new ‘referee-only’ career path?”
Backstage, Pete the Ref, Nikki’s husband, watches on a monitor and mutters, “She’s done with the ring. The only ring she needs is this…”
Pete reaches to unzip his pants as we head to commercial

Backstage Segment
Naomi, the Women’s World Champion, is backstage speaking with McKenzie Mitchell when the crowd erupts in cheers as Jade Cargill steps into frame, wearing all gold.
The two stare down silently, no words exchanged. Naomi tightens her grip on the title. Jade smirks, tilts her head, then looks directly at the camera and walks off.
Robert Stone: “That’s not a tease. That’s a warning. Jade’s coming for that gold.”

Camera man moves down the hall
to a training ring backstage where Chad Gable is standing shirtless, focused and ready. In walks Doc Brown, wearing a lab coat and holding a basket of ripe tomatoes.
Doc:
> “You want to be ready for lucha libre? You gotta learn to dodge unpredictability. Like… this tomato!”
He starts hurling tomatoes at Gable like Nolan Ryan in a pitching clinic. Gable ducks, rolls, and narrowly escapes a tomato splatter to the face. One hits him square in the chest.
Gable (yelling): “What does this have to do with lucha?!”
Doc Brown (dead serious):
> “Everything. If you can dodge a tomato, you can dodge a lucha.”
Tomato splats echo as the segment ends with both men slipping on sauce, falling into the ring ropes.
Peter Rosenberg (laughing): “Somewhere, Mistico is training for real.”

Main Event: Jeff Jarrett vs. Sabu
Hardcore Rules
It’s a main event soaked in nostalgia and chaos.
Sabu comes out with a steel chair, throwing it in the ring immediately. Jarrett, in flashy black-and-silver gear, enters to a chorus of boos.
Match Highlights:
Sabu launches himself over the ropes early with a diving leg drop through a chair.
Jarrett counters a triple-jump moonsault with a guitar shot to the back mid-air—huge spot.
Trash cans, kendo sticks, and a table all come into play.
In the final sequence, Jarrett dodges an Arabian facebuster and hits The Stroke onto a pile of broken wood and chair shards.
Winner: Jeff Jarrett via pinfall
Jarrett grabs a mic post-match and yells:
> “I just beat a legend. I don’t need a Flex Squad. I am the wrestling world.”

Show Closes
As the camera fades out, we cut back to Jesse Ventura in the locker room. He’s bloodied but smiling.
> “They’re bringing a fifth man next week? Fine.”
Fade to black.
