It’s well-known fact that WWE has a working relationship with British indie promotion EVOLVE, though they took their relationship to a completely new level at their latest show.
At the latest Evolve event titled Evolve 114, not one but 3 current WWE superstars competed against different champions from the promotion and to the surprise of many, defeated their talents to win the belts.
The first two of these were NXT Stars Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins who are dubbed together as Street Profits who competed for the Tag Team titles.
They answered an open challenge issued by the now former champions Chris Dickinson & Jaka together known as Doom Patrol and defeated the local team:
