Match Type: Singles Match
Result: Carmelo Hayes def. Nathan Frazer
Match Recap:
The night kicked off with a high-energy clash between two of NXT’s most agile competitors. Frazer’s speed and aerial ability pushed Hayes to the limit, but the former NXT Champion showed why he’s considered one of the best to come out of WWE’s developmental system. After a series of counters and reversals, Hayes nailed a picture-perfect Nothing But Net to secure the win. The crowd gave both men a strong ovation, with Hayes looking increasingly like a main roster-ready star.
Ivy Nile vs. Karmen Petrovic
Match Type: Women’s Division Match
Result: Karmen Petrovic def. Ivy Nile
Match Recap:
Karmen Petrovic earned one of the biggest wins of her career, scoring a shocking victory over Diamond Mine powerhouse Ivy Nile. Nile dominated most of the match with her strength and submission expertise, but Karmen stayed resilient. After avoiding a Dragon Sleeper, she surprised Nile with a clever schoolboy roll-up, stealing the win and earning the respect of the Orlando crowd. This win could be a stepping stone for Karmen’s rise in the women’s ranks.
Bronco Nima & Lucien Price vs. Stacks & Luca Crusifino
Match Type: Tag Team Match
Result: No Contest
Match Recap:
The D’Angelo Family brought their streetwise toughness into a heated bout against the brawny duo of Nima & Price. While both teams showcased hard-hitting tag offense, the match spiraled out of control as all four men brawled outside the ring, leading to a no-contest ruling. The brawl continued post-match, requiring officials to separate the teams. Expect this rivalry to escalate in the coming weeks—possibly toward a stipulation match or faction warfare.
Tavion Heights vs. Myles Borne
Match Type: Technical Wrestling Showcase
Result: Tavion Heights def. Myles Borne
Match Recap:
This match was a treat for purist wrestling fans. Tavion Heights, an Olympic-level wrestler, displayed outstanding mat technique, while Borne countered with submission and catch-style grappling. After a technical chess match, Tavion executed a flawless bridging German suplex for the clean win. The crowd responded well to the sportsmanship shown after the match. Both men look like future contenders for Evolve’s top singles division.
Main Event: Je’Von Evans vs. Dante Chen

Post-match, Evans signaled his sights might be set on championship gold soon, while Chen showed frustration—possibly teasing a darker shift in his character.
