Evolve Press Release, Relationship With WWE Grows

WWNLive released the following:

It’s been over a week, but we still aren’t quite recovered from the WWNLive Experience in New Orleans. New champions were crowned, great times that will be remembered forever were had and history was made. We have some of the fallout and a look at upcoming events with lots of talent announcements. Let’s get to it….

April 17th: You can order the VODs from the WWNLive Experience of both EVOLVE cards, WWN Supershow, SHIMMER 100, Matt Riddle’s Bloodspot, Style Battle S1:Finale, Kaiju Big Battel, Beyond Wrestling and Joey Janela’s Spring Break II now at WWNLive.com. Own the stream forever. Watch anytime!

April 17th: The next WWN Seminar/Tryout will be May 20th in Livonia, MI before the EVOLVE event that night. This is open to all wrestlers, referees and managers who have completed a training course. We will have more info later this week.

April 17th: Before we get to the fallout of the WWNLive Experience and the history made at WWE Axxess, we want to alert you that SHINE 50 comes to you one week from this Friday with a dream match main event. Kimber Lee returned at the WWN Supershow to challenge SHINE Champion LuFisto. This epic title match will take place on April 27th at The Orpheum in Ybor City, FL. Go here for all the info.

April 17th: Matt Riddle is your new EVOLVE Champion! Riddle defeated Zack Sabre Jr. at EVOLVE 102 to end Sabre Jr.’s 404 day EVOLVE Title reign. In surprising news broken on the EVOLVE Twitter, Sabre Jr. revealed he was stepping away from EVOLVE for an indefinite amount of time. This isn’t farewell forever, but a break and we will see the former champion back in an EVOLVE ring. Thank you to Zack for carrying EVOLVE on his back for the past year. It is now time for him to try new challenges and for talent to step up and fill his shoes in EVOLVE. Who will seize this opportunity?

April 17th: New EVOLVE Champion Matt Riddle proved he is ready to be the face of EVOLVE at the WWNLive Experience. Riddle main evented every WWN Family event, including winning the first season of Style Battle. His match against Will Ospreay at the WWN Supershow was called the best match of the weekend at any non-WWE event by many critics and fans. It was an inhuman effort from this top star.

April 17th: Austin Theory shocked everyone when he won the WWN Championship from Keith Lee at EVOLVE 103. It was especially surprising since Theory lost to DJZ the night before at EVOLVE 102. Lee granted Theory a title shot after Theory put his FIP World Heavyweight Title on the line. Theory is now a double champion, but he is surrounded by controversy. DJZ has challenged Theory to a WWN Championship Match. Negotiations are now ongoing for this bout.
