WWN Live Confirms EVOLVE Talent in WWE Raw Cruiserweight Division

WWN Live has issued the following:

Things are getting intense as we head to EVOLVE 68 this Saturday in Deer Park, NY and EVOLVE 69 this Sunday in Queens, NY. As we say goodbye to Johnny Gargano, we say hello to many new faces. It’s do or die time for members of the EVOLVE roster to step up and take Gargano’s top spot, or move aside for the new faces. We have a look at the new additions to the EVOLVE roster, must see videos and more. Let’s get to it….

September 6th: Make sure to watch this statement from Stokely Hathaway about his client TJ Perkins’ future in EVOLVE:

September 6th: EVOLVE Champion Timothy Thatcher is currently on tour in Germany for WXW. EVOLVE officials have allowed WXW officials to determine challengers for the EVOLVE Title. Thatcher has already successfully defended the EVOLVE Title on September 2nd against Marius Al Ani in Hamburg, Germany. Thatcher will return to EVOLVE during the October 15th & 16th weekend in Florida. If Thatcher loses the title in Germany, the new Champion will debut in EVOLVE in October.

September 6th: You can still buy tickets the DGUSA.tv Store for this Saturday in Deer Park, NY and this Sunday in Queens, NY. We will refund the shipping and hold tickets at the door.

September 6th: Pre-order EVOLVE 68 and EVOLVE 69 at WWNLive.com now to save $5 per iPPV.

September 6th: The talent recruiting division of WWN has increased their efforts to bring new faces and returning favorites to EVOLVE in light of Johnny Gargano and TJ Perkins finishing up this weekend before going to compete in the WWE Raw Cruiserweight Division. We are proud to have these athletes move from EVOLVE to WWE Monday Night Raw. PWInsider.com is also reporting TNA star Ethan Carter III is finished with EVOLVE for the time being due to his TNA commitments.

September 6th: We are beyond ecstatic to welcome back the former DGUSA Open The Freedom Gate and Open The United Gate Champion Ricochet. He’s made infrequent appearances in the last couple of years after building EVOLVE and DGUSA. We’ll see him this Sunday against Zack Sabre Jr. and then in November and December. Jigsaw was also an important part in the early history of EVOLVE and DGUSA. He returns this Saturday to take on Fred Yehi. This match is happening because Jigsaw pinned Yehi in a tag match at the last EVOLVE weekend. Both need a win here to solidify their standing in EVOLVE. We will also reveal now that negotiations are taking place for Jeff Cobb to make his EVOLVE debut later this year. We have several hungry talents ready for their opportunity this weekend. Here is a look:

Darby Allin: He will get his shot at an EVOLVE contract this weekend. We encourage you to watch his promo to see what’s at stake for him. He’s impressed in EVOLVE since earning a spot from his performance in a WWN Seminar/Tryout, but now he needs to win.

David Starr: He has done something no one else has this year and competed in TNA, ROH and now this Sunday EVOLVE. He is a hot talent that impressed in a WWN Seminar/Tryout earlier this year. He’ll get a great opportunity against Ethan Page this Sunday at EVOLVE 69.

Chuck O’Neil: “Cold Steel” has a 17-8 record in MMA and was on Ultimate Fighter Lesnar vs Dos Santos. He has a growing reputation on the New England independent scene. He’ll be faced with tough competition in Tracy Williams at EVOLVE 69.

Travis Gordon: The high-flyer was first noticed at a WWN Seminar/Tryout. We saw him earlier this year in EVOLVE in a short match against Ethan Page. Gordon shows enough potential to get another opportuniy. He’ll wrestle Fred Yehi this Sunday in Queens.

Dan Barry: We’ve seen him several times in EVOLVE as part of Team Tremendous. Barry, coming off the exposure of Holy Foley on The WWE Network, will try his hand in singles competition against Ethan Page at EVOLVE 68 this Saturday.

Jason Kincaid: This unique high-flyer stole the show at the last WWN Seminar/Tryout. He will be given an opportunity this October in Florida.

September 6th: As you can see, one themes this weekend is established EVOLVE talent against new faces. It is time for the established EVOLVE talent to get to the next level, or they could be in danger of the new faces passing them by. The competition is going to more intense than ever this weekend. Dreams are on the line. Who will be the next to go from EVOLVE to WWE/NXT?

September 6th: As you can see, the WWN Seminar/Tryout is becoming very fruitful for the WWN Family. Over 20 talents have been in matches on WWN Family events including EVOLVE, SHINE and FIP. Referee DA Brewer earned a fulltime job in EVOLVE. The next WWN Seminar/Tryout will be the most important and biggest opportunity ever. NXT GM William Regal will be a special guest. He will watch the tryout matches, give advice and give a lecture on how to make it to WWE. At the very best, you will get a shot. At the worst, you will receive invaluable lessons to learn and grow. Go here for info.

September 6th: This Saturday’s 1st ever WWN Creative Seminar is almost sold out. This will be the only WWN Creative Seminar of 2016. WWN VP Of Talent Relations Gabe Sapolsky will host. The Seminar will include a lecture by Sapolsky on booking fundamentals, how to get hired by a promotion and talent relation principles. Sapolsky will then rundown of the EVOLVE 68 card before the event to showcase the booking expectations, how to assemble a roster and a card. The participants will then watch EVOLVE 68 and sit down with Sapolsky after the event to assess how the show went. There will also be guest lecturers and a Q&A session. Go here for all the info.

September 6th: Thank you for reading today’s WWN Alerts. If you like any of the videos, please like, comment or share. Help spread the word! We will be back tomorrow with new on Joey Styles’ role in EVOLVE this weekend, an EVOLVE 68 Quickie Preview and another free video!
