The WWE Championship match that was set to take place tonight was called off before it could begin. Last week, it was revealed that Kendall Gray would defend her WWE Evolve Women’s Championship against Carmen Petrovic in tonight’s episode of WWE Evolve on Tubi. However, this episode was unique as Team PC members Cam Hendricks, Harley Riggins, Jax Presley, Keanu Carver, and Braxton Cole hosted the show following their win over Team WWE ID in the previous week.
Hendricks was supposed to announce the cancellation of the championship bout between Gray and Petrovic. Instead, he arranged for WWE Evolve Men’s Champion Jackson Drake to compete in a handicap match against himself, Carver, Riggins, and Presley, with Hendricks ultimately pinning Drake ahead of Drake’s upcoming title defense next week.
Jackson Drake now has the opportunity to become a double champion and will compete as one of seven participants for the vacant NXT Championship on next week’s NXT television episode.
Fan Take: This last-minute change shakes up the WWE landscape and keeps fans on their toes, highlighting the unpredictable nature of WWE programming. Jackson Drake’s dual title pursuit could set the stage for a thrilling and pivotal chapter in WWE history, making it must-watch TV for wrestling enthusiasts.
