Tonight's episode of NXT featured the back half of the Evolution Eliminator series to determine who would get an opportunity to face Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women's Championship at the upcoming WWE Evolution II premium live event, set to go down at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
Last week, the four participants of tonight's Fatal 4-Way were determined after Lash Legend defeated Kelani Jordan, Jaida Parker defeated Thea Hail (despite how Hail had made Parker tap out, only for the referee not to notice), Izzi Dame beat Zaria, and Jordynne Grace beat Lola Vice.
To try to help give herself the edge, Dame was able to coax Tatum Paxley to be ringside in her corner by giving her a toy doll backstage to appeal to Paxley's obsession over not having any friends (for whatever reason), but Zaria and Sol Ruca came out to pick her up and take her away, looking out for her as true friends would.
Fatal Influence was watching the match, but didn't interfere, as they had earlier cut a quick interview about how it didn't matter who won, as the challenger would ultimately lose to Jayne anyway.
By the end of the fight, Grace scored a pinfall on Parker to earn herself the title opportunity.
There was no appearance from Blake Monroe to further her feud with Fatal Influence after they had ruined her contract signing last week and put her through a table, likely meaning she was written as selling that injury. Yours truly suspects fully that The Juggernaut will win the title at Evolution, possibly with some help from Monroe offsetting Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx, but that remains to be seen as there are still several weeks before the event.
At this time, this is the only match confirmed for Evolution, so be sure to stay tuned to The Ring Report for future updates on other matches that get announced for the card, as well as updates on the NXT Great American Bash event that will be taking place the day before.
