New Lineups for EVOLVE This Weekend, EVOLVE Goes Southbound, More

We are loaded with news. Let’s get to it….

Kushida & Drew Gulak Shake Up EVOLVE Cards: WWE.com announced last Friday that a historic WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match will take place at EVOLVE 134 this Sunday in Chicago, IL when 205 Live’s Drew Gulak defends vs. NXT Superstar Kushida! In addition, Kushida has been added to EVOLVE 133 this Saturday in Livonia, MI. It will be Kushida vs. JD Drake in a first-time-ever match that you can only see in EVOLVE. Ticket sales for both events have skyrocketed since the announcements. Tickets for both events are now on sale at Etix.com. If you can’t be there in person, you can watch with your Club WWN subscription.

EVOLVE Tag Team Title Match Signed: EVOLVE Tag Team Champions AR Fox & Leon Ruff want to be fighting champions. They asked to defend the titles this Saturday in Livonia, MI. It will now be AR Fox & Leon Ruff vs. Joe Gacy & Sean Maluta of The Unwanted in an Anything Goes Match! The Unwanted have attacked Fox & Ruff several times, but Fox & Ruff currently have the advantage after winning the titles on the WWE Network. Who will walk out of Livonia with the tag team championship?

Maluta vs. Babatunde Pushed To Chicago: Babatunde vs. Sean Maluta was originally set for EVOLVE 133. Due to the tag team championship match being added to EVOLVE 133, this grudge match will now take place at EVOLVE 134. Maluta ran from Babatunde on the WWE Network Special, but he won’t be able to run this Sunday in Chicago.

Austin Theory At the WWE PC: EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory has officially started at the WWE Performance Center. Theory will remain in EVOLVE until he loses the championship. That could come as soon as this Sunday in Chicago when he defends in a Triple Threat Match against his two top rivals. It will be Theory vs. JD Drake vs. Josh Briggs for the EVOLVE Title this Sunday! Drake’s tag team partner Anthony Henry has a chance to soften up Theory in non-title competition this Saturday in Livonia, MI in a non-title match.

Kushida And Gulak Meet & Greets: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak and Kushida will join Matt Riddle, Tommaso Ciampa, Babatunde and Arturo Ruas for Meet & Greets at EVOLVE this Sunday in Chicago. Everyone except Gulak will also be available in Livonia. This also could be your final chance to Meet & Greet with Austin Theory. Go to the WWNLive.com Store for info. Theory will set his own prices this weekend. Info will be available at his merch table at both events.
