The Pre-NXT Takeover Conference Call with Paul Levesque last week saw him comment on EVOLVE. Levesque had the following to say:

“The EVOLVE (10th Anniversary Celebration) was spectacular. I thought it was great. Obviously, a huge deal for a bunch of young talent trying to make a name for themselves and step up to the next level. It’s really a proving ground like, hey you want to be a WWE Superstar, if you want to make it in the business, EVOLVE is a place you should be trying to get to….It was an experiment we’ve been building for a long time, and it was a grand slam. I think you’re going to see a lot more of that. I think Gabe (Sapolsky) and Sal (Hamaoui) have a lot to be proud of in the brand they’ve built there. I’m excited they put something together there that really showcases these young guys and girls at a level of trying to break into the business and really make a name for themselves and get rolling and progress to NXT and WWE.”
