The Vanity Project comes out to kick things off…all members wearing button down shirts in celebration, of course. Ricky Smokes doesn’t want to tell you so, but The Vanity Project told you so. They said that they’d control EVOLVE and that’s exactly what’s happening. Brad Baylor says that they have been main eventers of a bunch of shows and now they are Stand and Deliver main eventers. Jackson Drake lists a bunch of first ever WWE champions and adds his name to it. “You can’t swipe left to history books.” Baylor says that they have the best man, woman, and tag team in EVOLVE. It’s not bragging - it’s The Vanity Project.
