EVOLVE 119 & EVOLVE 120 Previews
January 17, 2019
Here’s a quick preview of this weekend’s EVOLVE cards:
EVOLVE 119 – Brooklyn, NY – January 18th – 8pm EST – Tix & Info
Watch Live On Club WWN – Only $9.99 Per Month And No Dark Matches!
WWN Icons vs. WWN New Generation
Johnny Gargano & AR Fox vs. EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory & Josh Briggs
On the surface, this looks to be a battle of WWN veterans and “icons” vs. the men who look to be the future of EVOLVE and the independents. However, it runs deeper. The new EVOLVE Champion Theory has tried to disrespect Gargano with his #JohnnyFailureFacts. Fox and Theory have a long history. Briggs beat two students of Fox last month and stared down Fox as he tries to build his reputation. This is epic tag team wrestling. Who will win?
WWN Championship Match – No DQ
JD Drake defends vs. Eddie Kingston
Kingston made his surprising debut at EVOLVE 117, causing Drake & Anthony Henry to lose their chance at the EVOLVE Tag Team Titles. EVOLVE 118 saw Kingston vs. Drake go to a violent and wild no contest. Now they’ll settle their differences in a No DQ Match, and the WWN Championship will be on the line! Can Kingston shock the world and win the WWN Title the way Joey Janela did last year?
EVOLVE Tag Team Championship Match
The Street Profits of Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins defend vs. Tag Team Scramble Winners
The Street Profits have been thriving in EVOLVE as they enter their third month as champions. This week’s NXT TV saw The Street Profits at their best, while being called EVOLVE Tag Team Champions by Mauro Ranallo. However, the competition will only increase as The Street Profits will have to defend against a team with everything to gain and nothing to lose. Can they get past three months as EVOLVE Tag Team Champions?
Tag Team Scramble – Winners To Challenge For EVOLVE Tag Titles Later That Night
Leon Ruff & Adrian Alanis vs. John Silver & Alex Reynolds vs. Juntai & Gavin Quinn vs. TBD
Ruff & Alanis have been impressing as part of The Skulk. Silver & Reynolds are an established independent tag team looking to earn full-time spots in EVOLVE. Juntai impressed at a WWN Seminar/Tryout and now brings his partner for this opportunity. Another team will come from the WWN Seminar/Tryout that afternoon. The winner will get a shot at the EVOLVE Tag Team Championship later on this card. These teams all have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We can see new stars made in one night. Can you imagine if a team wins this match and then defeats The Street Profits?
Only In EVOLVE
Fabian Aichner vs. Darby Allin
Allin seemed to reach his breaking point at the last EVOLVE show. Aichner, who was impressive on NXT UK TV this week, is looking to rebound from his EVOLVE Championship loss. Both need the win. Who will get it?
Special Challenge Match
Anthony Henry vs. Curt Stallion
Stallion is looking to earn a regular spot in EVOLVE. Henry is looking for respect. This match could steal the show. Who is your pick to win?
SHINE Showcase Match
Priscilla Kelly vs. Trish Adora
Adora impressed at a recent WWN Seminar/Tryout. Kelly is the standard bearer of women’s wrestling in EVOLVE. Can Adora score the upset?
Special Attraction Match
Joe Gacy vs. Colby Corino
Both Gacy and Corino want to be added to the EVOLVE roster. They will have an opportunity to impress here. Will one of them get a job?
EVOLVE 120 – Queens, NY – January 19th – 6pm EST – Tix & Info
Watch Live On Club WWN – Only $9.99 Per Month And No Dark Matches!
The Main Event – Non-Title
Johnny Gargano vs. EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory
Gargano will make his one-night-only return to the house he built- La Boom. Theory wants to show that he owns the house now. The tension has been raised by Theory. Are you ready for this?
Grudge Match
EVOLVE Tag Team Champion Montez Ford vs. Eddie Kingston
Kingston targeted Ford first in his surprise attack during Street Profits vs. JD Drake & Anthony Henry at the last EVOLVE event in Queens. Ford didn’t hesitate to make a challenge for this match. Did you ever think you’d see a fight between these two?
#1 Contender Match
AR Fox with Ayla & The Skulk vs. Anthony Henry
Theory is refusing to defend the EVOLVE Title until a #1 contender is determined. We will get one after this match. Who will challenge for the championship in February?
Hoss Fight
EVOLVE Tag Team Champion Angelo Dawkins vs. Josh Briggs
You have two big bruisers in this one. This is a heavyweight battle. Who will win?
Non-Title Match
WWN Champion JD Drake vs. Joe Gacy
Gacy gets a chance of a lifetime to score an upset in this battle of hard-hitters. What kind of shape will Drake be in after the No DQ match the night before in Brooklyn. Will he still be WWN Champion?
Three Way Freestyle
Darby Allin vs. Curt Stallion vs. Leon Ruff
These men are all hungry and need the win. They are also all spectacular talents. This could steal the whole weekend. Can Allin get on track? Will Stallion solidify his spot? Can Ruff get the big singles win?
Plus more with former EVOLVE Champion Fabian Aichner and others!!!
There will be even more added to this event after the happenings of EVOLVE 119. You know a talent like Aichner will be in a big match!
