EVOLVE and WWE have a good working relationship. Both companies exchange Superstars occasionally and many former EVOLVE stars are now top Superstars in WWE.
Matt Riddle, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Austin Theory, and more are Superstars who’ve made a successful transition from EVOLVE to WWE. However, EVOLVE is facing a terrible financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic is adding to their problems according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The report reveals that the company faced a big loss due to the cancellation of WrestleMania weekend in Tampa. Rumors on the internet suggested that the promotion is being sold to WWE.
The Observer tried to approach both parties for a statement but were met with no response.
If WWE is indeed planning on purchasing EVOLVE then they’d have the possession of the company’s tape library and more. Many wrestlers could get an opportunity to make themselves known in WWE while many could lose their jobs permanently.
It is truly tragic to see a company like EVOLVE suffer such losses. We will keep you updated on the situation as it develops in the coming days.
