Armstrong has nothing else to say and just signs the contract. Natalya says that Armstrong is a difference maker in EVOLVE, but has been nothing but rude to Natalya. Armstrong says that she didn’t like how Natalya was looking at her title or how she stole the pin in their tag team match. Armstrong says that Natalya has won matches on every show, but EVOLVE is Armstrong’s show.
Natalya calls Armstrong selfish. Natalya is sick of hearing how women are working so hard and exhausted from carrying divisions on their shoulders.

Carver loves the WWE ID Program and wants to protect it. Legacy warns Thatcher about Carver, but Thatcher isn’t worried.
A WWE Clash in Paris commercial airs.

Chantel Monroe has been called everything by the other women - including cocky and arrogant. Monroe calls herself the Reflection of Perfection for a reason. Masyn Holiday needs to stop complaining because Monroe won’t lower her standards for the women’s division. It’s only a matter of time before Monroe is the EVOLVE Women’s Champion.
