Skylar Rae won the Sept. 2 Fatal Four way on EVOLVE and became the number one contender for Zena Sterling’s Evolve Women’s Title. The match put her in line for Nikkita Lyons’s next defense after the field narrowed inside the ring and on the floor.
Fatal Four way on Sept. 2
Laynie Luck, Wren Sinclair and Zena Sterling were in the match with Rae, and the finish belonged to her after the final stretch turned chaotic. She had already taken out Sinclair on the outside with a tornado DDT off the ring apron before Luck connected with an enziguri inside the ring.
Rae then landed Starstruck for the pin and the victory. That result is the one that matters: it moved her past three rivals and straight into the title picture around Lyons, where one win now decides who gets the next championship shot.
Vanta the Unknown shifts it
Vanta the Unknown changed the closing sequence by taking out Laynie Luck after Zena Sterling rolled out of the ring as the lights flashed and Luck stood alone. That interference did not create the contender, but it decided the last clean opening Rae needed before the pin.
For a match built to sort out a challenger, that kind of finish keeps the outcome intact while exposing how fragile the final stretch was. Rae still had to capitalize immediately, and she did.
Nikkita Lyons faces Rae
Nikkita Lyons came face-to-face with Skylar Rae in the ring after the match, which told the whole story without a long setup. Lyons holds the Evolve Women’s Title; Rae now owns the claim to the next challenge.
Wendy Choo’s face flashed on the screens after the match, adding a separate beat to the same segment without changing the result. The practical takeaway is simple: Rae has earned the line to Lyons, and EVOLVE has moved the women’s title picture from contention to confrontation.
