Layla Diggs vs. Gianna Capri
KevOnStage recapped events and announced the matchups, including Layla Diggs facing Gianna Capri. In the corner for Capri was Masyn Holiday, while Anya Rune was observed in the VIP Lounge.
The match began with a headlock takedown from Capri, but Diggs quickly countered with her athleticism. Capri responded with aggression, pie-facing Diggs and using the opening to regain control. After yanking Diggs' hair, Capri turned her attention to Rune, who theatrically threatened to use magical powers, though nothing materialized. Capri's momentary distraction allowed Diggs to land a pele kick, followed by a floating moonsault for the win.
WINNER: Layla Diggs at 4:38.
Following the bout, Anya Rune appeared concerned about her powers. As Diggs and Holiday left, a frustrated Braxton Cole emerged, complaining about a DQ stipulation being added to his match without his consent. Harlem Lewis then attacked Cole from behind before a commercial break.
Braxton Cole vs. Harlem Lewis. No Disqualification Match
The No Disqualification match saw both competitors employ a variety of weapons. Lewis began by using a baking sheet, while Cole retaliated with a cane and then a belt from a "fan" to whip Lewis. Lewis then used his own belt on Cole. The weapons continued to escalate with a tennis racket used by Cole and a pool cue by Cole, before Lewis used a mop and its handle on Cole.
Despite Cole's attempts to beg off, Lewis finished the match with the Boomslang.
WINNER: Harlem Lewis at 7:10.
After the match, Evolve Champion Aaron Rourke came to the ring to congratulate Lewis. Rourke expressed his gratitude for Lewis's support in recent battles and offered him a title match, stating he would speak with Foreman Thatcher.
