Summary

Je'Von Evans pulled off a surprising upset over Rusev in a fun, hard-hitting match. Rusev dominated early, tossing Evans around with suplexes and using his power to keep the young high-flyer grounded. Evans battled back with a Whisper in the Wind, a springboard clothesline, and a flurry of kicks to swing the momentum. Rusev nearly put him away with a Uranage and Machka Kick, but Evans refused to stay down. Frustrated, Rusev called Evans a “fricken child” before trying to lock in the Accolade. Evans escaped, blasted Rusev with a running corkscrew kick, then followed with a huge dive to the outside and an OG Cutter to score the clean victory. A really solid match and a big win for Evans.

Summary

This was a fun mix of styles that never quite hit that next gear, but stayed entertaining throughout. Evans brought the energy, flying around like he had something to prove, while Penta gave you that steady, hard-hitting presence. On the other side, Rusev was doing Rusev things—throwing people around like furniture—and Ethan Page played the perfect loudmouth opportunist. The finish came after the heels slowed things down just enough to take control, isolating Evans and capitalizing before Penta could swing momentum back. Solid tag match, but it felt like it ended right when it was getting interesting. Still, Rusev looking like a tank again is never a bad thing.

Summary

This one played out pretty much how you’d expect when you put a wrecking ball like Rusev in there with someone as explosive as Penta. Early on, Rusev completely shut things down, cutting off Penta’s high-flying game before it could even get going. Every time Penta teased something flashy, Rusev just leveled him—side kick, side slam, rinse, repeat. It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective. After the break, Penta finally started to build some momentum, landing a cross-body and picking up the pace a bit. For a second, it looked like he might turn the tide, but Rusev wasn’t having it. He crushed another Destroyer attempt, blasted him with a Machka Kick, and looked ready to lock in the Accolade and end it. Then…yeah, the finish happened. Penta slipped out, faked the springboard Destroyer, and instead caught Rusev with a quick roll-up for the win. Just like that. No big payoff, no dramatic finish—just a sudden three-count that felt like it came out of nowhere. Not exactly satisfying considering how dominant Rusev looked most of the match. Of course, Rusev snapped afterward and kept the beatdown going, because losing like that will do it. Ethan Page jumped in to make things worse, turning it into a numbers game until Je’Von Evans ran down to even things up and save Penta.
