She then tells them all to sit down. She then said she hadn’t been hiding forever, she called it, and as she was in a safe house, she saw them focus on everything the family did. She then says Stack and Tony bring her with Luka and her, taking people to the bridge, dine in a restaurant, and they destroyed it all. Tony tells him to take it easily, and she points out how she tried to get Tony to talk about things. Afterwards, Luka asks if she thought she would solve this and she says yes, but she thinks it is impossible. She then points out the division between them and says that if trust is broken, doubts will creep up and everything will be lost. She says she then did what she had to do and talked to the AVA. She then says that this is WWE and it cannot be said that their past does not intersect again, but this is the final battle.
Stack says he doesn’t trust them and this is the setup. Tony says Ratt thinks this is the setup and Luka agrees. Tony says he thinks Luka is by Stax’s side. Stacks says he’s winning next week, and Tony says Stack and Luka should share the cup. Afterwards, Luka says he’s running away from them to do anything in NXT. Tony says it’s over. They all get up and Stack tells Tony not let him catch him alone. After that, Luke says, “Once I try to do something myself.”
The commentator then tries to check in, but Jaspert Roy is in the ring and requires Ava Book Jaspert Roy vs. Jevon Evans to be booked in the Great American Bash. Evon Evans then attacks the ring, but is crumpled when Troy attacks him with an injured rib. Security then tries to distinguish between both men. Evans then recovers a bunch of security with Troy and diving and hits. Security drags Evans back.
Then we see them culling in their dark room and Tatum comes in. Sean says she’s happy that she has her, and Iji says their home is hers.

Spears then tag him on his side, wears his ledger, then tag him with Vance. Vance then hits the head of the ledger in his right hand and tages the walker. Walker then splashes at Vance, nailing the Bulldog, and gets distracted by the outer dam and Paxley. This opens the Vance door and causes the walker to crash on the announcement desk with a bouncing off his shoulder.
Spears then tag him, but Vance deflects the referee when Walker rolls up Spears. The referee then begins the count late, and Spears is kicked out. Ledger then tags in and chases after Spears, but Spears nails Leisure with a few superkicks.

Sol Luka then attacks Iji Dam from behind and brawls on her back with Zaria as she carries Paxley behind. Walker and Leisure then deliver their right hand to the Spear and Vance. Leisure then runs Vance with a shoulder tackle and appears to hit him with a double splash, but Spears pushes Vance out of the way and takes the manipulation. Walker and Ledger washed Double Team Dountlight Line Vance from Spears’ ring for victory.
Winners and still WWE NXT Tag Team Champions, Hank & Tank (Hank Walker and Tank Leisure)!
The commentators then went through the Great American Bash Cards, with Jaspert Roy vs. Jevon Evans now officially on the show.
Next, we see NXT General Manager Ava walking behind the scenes.
Then we see Kale Dixon behind the scenes saying he’s nervous and has high blood pressure. He then tells Andre Chase that he’s gone crazy and can’t wrestletter today. Chase agrees and tells Kale and Uria that they understand something.
NXT general manager Ava heads towards the ring and grabs the microphone. Ava says he remembers starting by remembering that he was in high school when the first evolution happened and thinking about how wonderful it was to have such a monumental thing happen. She then ponders how far the women who attended the first premium live event came, and says she is proud that NXT is evolving as NXT’s first female general manager. Ava says that six women from NXT represent the brand of Evolution Battle Royal: Jaida Parker, Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend, Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley. Ava says six women will prove that NXT always step up and display.
Music of fatal influence is a hit, and the trio escapes. Jacy Jayne then feels frustrated that Ava doesn’t choose to focus on the NXT women’s championship match with Jordynne Grace. Grace then makes a path to the ring, saying that evolution is a groundbreaking event. She then says that when she wins the NXT Women’s Championship from Jane, she will lead the NXT women’s division into the future.
The Rush Legend then goes her path, saying that Jane and Grace are at the top of evolution when they win Battle Royale and are able to continue fighting at the NXT women’s championship.
