(The show opens with Mike Tenay and Lenny Leonard standing in the center of the ring with a crowd of 200 fans in the Sunrise Community Center.)
Tenay: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to EVOLVE 3!
(The crowd goes crazy for the start of the show.)
Tenay: And tonight we have many things to get into, but first we have big news for everyone.
Leonard: That's right, two days ago, the NWA had their first big pay per view in Starrcade, and with that came the crowning a new NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
Tenay: And that person was Sheamus of NWA Midwest. We here at EVOLVE would like to congratulate the World Heavyweight Champion and will have him visit EVOLVE in the near future. But let's start the show.
(Tenay and Leonard leave the ring as the crowd awaits the first match of the night.)
Match 1: Chuck Taylor def. Ricochet by pinfall after Gran Akuma would come out to the ring and distract Ricochet, letting Taylor hit him with Sole Food.
(As Taylor celebrated his victory, Akuma would enter the ring and the two would staredown for a bit.)
Tenay: It seems that Taylor didn't notice what transpired due to Akuma.
Leonard: Well, the two do have a history but I think...
(Before Leonard could finish his thought, Taylor smiles and shakes Akuma's hand. Akuma would raise Taylor's hand to a chorus of boos from the fans.)
Leonard: As I said, it seems that Akuma and Taylor and renewing their friendship.
(Taylor would ask for a mic.)
Taylor: Just like before, while I was being held back by a promotion that didn't even have the care to give me a true debut or even a first show at that, I am now here in EVOLVE and will show each and everyone of you Floridiots that me and Akuma are the most dangerous duo in all of the NWA. Once again, F.I.S.T. Is back!
(The fans would boo the two men in the ring as they would leave the ring.)
Match 2: MsChif def. Ayako Hamada by pinfall after hitting the Code Green (Leg trap sunset flip powerbomb).
Match 3: King Of The Hill Round Robin Challenge Series Block C Match: Zander Creed w/ Lou E. Dangerously def. Rich Swann by submission with the Creed Clutch Alpha (Crossface).
(In the backstage area, Todd Grisham is standing in front of an EVOLVE banner.)
Grisham: Ladies and gentlemen, joining me now is Jigsaw.
(Jigsaw would step into the scene with Mike Quackenbush.)
Grisham: Jigsaw, it's been a few weeks since we last saw you, and on that night, you were the victim of a brutal attack from the Old School's Ace Archer and Kevin Steen. At Starrcade, you and Quackenbush were cheated out of a win by Ric Flair and some brass knuckles. But tonight, you have a chance at revenge when you step into the ring with Kevin Steen, any thoughts?
Jigsaw: Yes, of course I have thoughts. A lot of them too, like almost not being able to come back to the sport I love so much. Or how about the fact that no matter what me and Mike do, the Old School worm their way into another victory. Well, tonight, Kevin, it's just you and me in that ring. But I know that I will have to attend with the Nature Boy in your corner. Well, tonight, I have Mike in my corner to handle Flair. So Steen, prepare for the fight of your life.
(Jigsaw and Quackenbush would walk away as Grisham would look to the camera.)
Grisham: Back to you, Mike and Lenny.
Match 3: Jigsaw w/ Mike Quackenbush def. Kevin Steen w/ Ric Flair by DQ when Jigsaw would hit the Jig N' Tonic, but Flair would distract the ref. This brought out Steve Corino and Ace Archer. Corino would attack Quackenbush as Archer would hit Jigsaw with a superkick, followed by pulling off his mask when the ref turned around, who would call for the bell.
(The Locker room would clear out as Archer would continue the attack on Jigsaw. Corino, Flair and Steen would hold off the roster as Archer tried to get Jigsaw's face shown on camera.)
Leonard: What in the world is Archer doing?
Tenay: Well, it appears as though the Old School is in fact targetting the masked wrestlers of EVOLVE, and in a sickening way. As it is stated in the rulebook of EVOLVE, unmasking a masked wrestler is an automatic DQ, not just frowned upon by the locker room.
(Quackenbush would enter the ring and chase off Archer as all of the Old School would escape from the crowd. Quackenbush would remove his track jacket to cover Jigsaw's face as he was escorted out of the arena.)
Leonard: And once again, the Old School has caused havoc during one of Jigsaw's matches?
Tenay: And this time, took it a step too far. Messing with the mask of a luchadore, even American, is a crime worst than murder here in EVOLVE. But folks, we have to get into our next match in the King Of The Hill Round Robin Challenge Series, so let's send it to Justin Roberts with the introductions.
Match 4: King Of The Hill Round Robin Challenge Series Block C Match: Zander Creed w/ Lou. E Dangerously def. Delirious by referee stopage due to Muai Thai knee strikes. (Creed automatically wins Block C.)
Tenay: And with that, Creed has taken out both Delirous and Rich Swann, cementing himself into the huge threeway dance for the King Of The Hill Championship.
(A graphic is shown with Jigsaw, PAC, and Creed to hype the match.)
Leonard: But we will still have Swann vs. Delirious as those two will get to showcase their talents tonight for this crowd.
Tenay: But let's send it to the back, where it appears the Old School wants to address their actions.
(In the Old School's locker room, Ace Archer is seen with Mia Yum on his lap as he wore the mask he took off Jigsaw. Flair, Steen, and Corino are surround him as they all share a laugh.)
Archer: Now I understand why that wannabe wears a mask. See, Jigsaw, you are too ugly to be in this business, so you hide yourself behind this mask. Why do you do it, huh?
Steen: Maybe he thinks he can pick up some rats with a puzzle piece for a face?
Corino: No, it can't be that, I bet it so he could possibly get an action figure made off his cartoon look.
Steen: Or maybe it's to hide from some crime he had done, I don't know, with a face that ugly, I would hide it too.
Flair: That's enough, gentlemen. Tonight, it's about the Old School. I picked you three out personally because you have the class needed to be champions. Steen, you had to give up a win for the better good, making a joke of that fool. But Archer, you have a match against that tub of lard Cannon. And most importantly, Corino, you got something to prove, don't you.
Corino: Oh yes, since I got taken out in the second round of the NWA World Heavyweight Title Tournament, I am going to show that other masked freak Generico what being a true wrestler is all about. That string bean isn't qualified to even lace up our boots, so what makes him think he will beat me tonight.
Archer: Hey, you have it easy. I'm going to have to use all my strength just lifting that fat ass Cannon and tossing him around the ring like it is nothing. And I bet I will still have enough energy to show you, Mia, the ride of your life.
Mia: You better, just as long as you take off the stupid mask, big boy.
(Archer takes off the mask and throws it into a garbage can.)
Archer: Why would I want to deny the fans a chance to gaze at the future face of this business. But come on, let's get out to the ring. I got a blob to beat.
(Archer, Flair, and Mia would leave the locker room as Steen helps Corino warm up.)
Match 5: Ace Archer w/ Ric Flair and Mia Yum def. Arik Cannon by submission after Archer locked on the Ace Lock.
Match 6: Semi-Finals of the Florida Heavyweight Championship Tournament: Steve Corino w/ Kevin Steen def. El Generico w/ Lince Dorado by pinfall after Corino hit Generico with the Old School Expulsion (Reverse Twist Of Fate) on Generico while distracted by Kevin Steen.
(In the backstage area, Lou. E. Dangerously stands beside Zander Creed as Todd Grisham stands beside them.)
Gresham: Ladies and gentlemen....
(Dangerously steals the mic and pushes Grisham out of the scene.)
Dangerously: Just as I said last time, my monster, Creed, destroyed his foes tonight in impressive fashion and the next step in this conquest of EVOLVE will be the King Of The Hill Championship. And let's just look at the two he will face. First off, you have Jigsaw, a man who can't even focus on the match because he has to contend with the Old School. The other is a man who goes by the name of PAC. Now last time I checked, that name was being used either by a rapper or a string bean hack with no talent named Sean Waltman. Either way, if this kid has more talent than either of those two, he still couldn't take on the Killdozer. So, Cornette, if you can pull yourself away from kissing all the babyfaces' asses and just go ahead and award Creed the King Of The Hill Championship, all will be well. But no, we have to go into another match just for the title that we deserve. Well, what will happen next will be on your hands, Cornette, just remember that.
(Dangerously and Creed would step out of the scene as the camera goes back to ringside.)
Tenay: What in the world does Dangerously mean with that?
Leonard: I have no idea, Mike, but it's time for our next match, the final match in Block C of the Round Robin Challenge Series.
Tenay: And with Creed beating both these men eariler, this is now just an exhibition match. But let's send it to Justin Roberts with the intros.
Match 7: King Of The Hill Round Robin Challenge Series Block C: Rich Swann and Delirious went to a no contest as Zander Creed would come to the ring and attack both men with Lou E. Dangerously shouting out instructions.
Tenay: Well, now we know, Lenny. Dangerously had no intentions of letting this match go on.
Leonard: It's obviously a point that Lou E. is trying to show here.
(Creed would toss Swann out of the ring with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex, followed by locking Delirious into the Creed Lock Beta (Dragon Sleeper w/ leg sisscors. As Creed would work the hold, out would come PAC and Jigsaw. Jigsaw would be wearing a different mask.)
Leonard: And here comes the calvary in the form of Creed's opponents for the King Of The Hill Championship.
(PAC and Jigsaw would chase off Creed, who Dangerously told to release the hold and leave the ring. Jigsaw would check on Delirious as PAC asked for a mic.)
PAC: Creed, you better be ready, because when me and Jigsaw enter the ring with you, we will show you why size doesn't matter.
(PAC would drop the mic as EMT would enter the ring to take care of Delirious.)
Tenay: It's been a crazy night tonight, hasn't it been, Lenny?
Leonard: Obviously it has been, and it's just going to get better, isn't it, Mike.
Tenay: Of course, up next we have the huge first contender's match for the SHIMMER Championship as Amazing Kong will take on Nattie Neidhart. Let's get to ring for the introductions.
Match 8: First Contender's Match for the SHIMMER Championship: Amazing Kong def. Nattie Neidhart by pinfall after hitting the Implant Buster.
Tenay: Well now, we have two big matches set for our next event as not only will the King of The Hill Championship be decided, but we will see a rematch for the SHIMMER Championship.
(A graphic is shown of Sara Del Ray with the SHIMMER Championship belt and Amazing Kong to hype their match.)
Leonard: Last time they met, it was in Japan, this time it will be in front of the EVOLVE fans. This is a match just worth the price of admission itself.
Tenay: Agreed, Lenny, but let's get to the back where Todd Gresham is with one of the combatants in our main event.
(In the backstage area, Todd Gresham is standing in front of an EVOLVE banner.)
Gresham: Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the King Of Diamonds, Eddie Kingston.
(Kingston would step into the scene.)
Gresham: Eddie, you and Claudio have had a long storied rivalry, but tonight the stakes are higher as it is a semi-finals match in the Florida Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Any thoughts heading into this huge match?
Kingston: Of course, Todd. Why wouldn't there be? First off, there is the thought of all the fun I am going to have smacking that bald bastard around. Then there is the thoughts of getting that victory and taking on one of those slimeballs from the Old School. But most of all, the thoughts of my past. You see, I am not the best example of a good man. I've robbed, beated, and did some pretty nasty things, but now I am here. Here in EVOLVE, and for every single person, from Alex Shelley to Steve Corino who thinks that I am not “championship material,” I am going to go out there and prove it. And with each step closer to the Florida Heavyweight Championship I get, the closer to redemption, to absolution I get to. Cannon was the first step, and yes, he is a hell of a wrestler. Wait, scratch that, a hell of a fighter. But tonight, I get the personal pleasure of beating that smug look off of Claudio's face once again, and this time....this time I have more than just vengeance on my mind. Tonight, Claudio, prepare for war.
(Kingston would step out of the scene.)
Gresham: Well, folks, that was Eddie Kingston, back to you guys at ringside.
MAIN EVENT: Semi-Finals in the Florida Heavyweight Championship Tournament: Eddie Kingston def. Claudio Castagnoli w/ Ares by pinfall after hitting a Backdrop Driver followed by the Sliding D.
(The crowd goes wild as Kingston celebrates his victory.)
Tenay: And with that win, we mark the third match made for the next EVOLVE event. It will be Steve Corino taking on Eddie Kingston for the Florida Heavyweight Championship.
(A graphic of Kingston and Corino with Flair and Steen is shown to hype the match.)
Leonard: But not just that....
(Before Leonard can continue to his thoughts, Corino, Steen, and Archer surround the ring with Flair come out and getting on the apron with a mic.)
Flair: Congratulations, kid. You won. And you are going to get your redemption, huh. You really think that, you punk. I don't even get why you are standing in my ring.
Tenay: Flair is running down Kingston now, but why is he trying to rile him up.
Leonard: No idea, Mike. But Flair seems to be able to do whatever he wants, due to the Old School at his side.
(Flair would enter the ring and get in Kingston's face.)
Flair: Did you hear me, boy? I asked why do you think you are standing in MY ring!? When the Nature Boy comes out, you leave this ring and worship the ground I walk on, for I am the wrestling god.
(Steen, Corino and Archer would all step onto the apron as Kingston just stares a hole into Flair. Flair would poke him in the chest as he continues to talk.)
Flair: Well, boy, say something. You had a lot to say in the back, now what about it?
Tenay: It might not be the best idea to do that, Ric.
Leonard: Look at Kingston, he is getting red with anger at the disrespectful words of the Nature Boy.
(As soon as Flair looks to the Old School, Kingston would hit Flair with a Backfist to the Future, knocking him out on the spot. The Old School would quickly enter the ring, but Kingston would already have slide out of it, making his way through the crowd, shouting obscenities at the men in the ring.)
Leonard: And Flair just learned why not to get the King Of Diamonds upset.
Tenay: You can say that again, but folks, we are out of time. For Lenny Leonard, I'm Mike Tenay, see you next time in EVOLVE.
(The screen fades to black as Kingston is still shouting at the Old School from the crowd.)
Tenay: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to EVOLVE 3!
(The crowd goes crazy for the start of the show.)
Tenay: And tonight we have many things to get into, but first we have big news for everyone.
