rEVO Episode #1

[/size]

S.C.U.M. (Kevin Steen, Steve Corino, & Jimmy Jacobs) are seen sitting backstage. Corino & Jacobs are upset that they were not included in the rEVO Tag Team Championship Tournament, & they vow to send a message to rEVO tonight in their match against the young team of Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly. Corino continues on to say that after he & Jacobs leave Cole & O'Reilly beaten in the ring, their priority will turn to ensuring that Steen advances past Claudio Castagnoli in tonight's main event, & goes on to win the rEVO Grand Championship. Steen, who doesn't appear concerned, openly acknowledges that he is the man to beat in the rEVO Grand Championship Tournament.

Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly are backstage stretching before for their tag team match against Steve Corino & Jimmy Jacobs. Cole & O'Reilly are honored to be given the opportunity to compete in rEVO & promise to give everything they have to be the top team.

• The rEVO Tag Team Championship tournament will begin this week with the Briscoe Brothers facing Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team.
  
• Following the outcome of last week's main event, a heated verbal exchange between the members of S.C.U.M. erupted & culminated in a shoving match between Kevin Steen & Steve Corino. Steen blamed Corino for his loss against Castagnoli, & Corino responded by telling Steen that if he were half as good as he claimed to be, he would have been able to beat Castagnoli easily. Jimmy Jacobs & rEVO personnel separated Steen & Corino before the altercation became any more physical.

As Mark adds that WGTT aren't "wrestling's greatest tag team," but instead WWE rejects, WGTT arrives at the arena & approaches the Briscoes. WGTT notes that their success in WWE hardly makes them "rejects," & before they walk off, tell the Briscoes that they, rEVO, & all no-name indy wrestlers will see why they're wrestling's greatest tag team.
