Cage and David Starr were both very vocal about evolves business practices recently.
I assume this would mean the majority of the evolve library would find it's way to the network. Would definitely be some incredible matches in there to watch.

I would be curious if WWE would continue it as a feeder program to NXT. Kinda like them being the baseball version of AAA ball, with NXT being the big leagues.

Pretty much every top guy in NXT (and some on Raw/Smackdown) right now passed through EVOLVE.
Would be smart to buy their video library, at the very least.

They really don't need to buy it. The NXT roster is too big as it is

Have the WWE buy it and then have Randy Orton go there and RKO all the guys there and pin them. That would piss off so many internet wrestling fans that I would get extreme enjoyment out of it all! Ha ha ha

A Paul Heyman protégé selling out.The more things change the more they stay the same. They basically went out of business when Covid cancelled the weekend mania shows. WWE might have Gabe over a barrel because he HAS to sell.

Ha ha ha Why do you hate internet fans? I guess they’ll buy the tape library, sign some wrestlers and Gabe, and merge with NXT. I wonder if they’ll do a Evolve invasion? With Triple H in charge that might work.

Eh, worth it for “before they were famous” matches for compilations I guess.

Now that NXT is a national brand on TV, I would use Evolve as basically what NXT was suppose to be, a place to send the guys to wrestle in front of small crowds. Sign a few guys like Eddie Kingston, Joe Gacy, etc as veterans to wrestle these trainees. Honestly kind of what they were using Evolve as already, just be 100% under WWE umbrella instead of sending 4-5 guys there at a time.

Evolve is awesome, but, would that mean that anyone that wrestles for evolve is then an employee of wwe, thus not having indie wrestlers from all over anymore?

If WWE buys Evolve and uses them for like the Largo Loop or something, they would probably just pay some people like they do enhancement talent.

Gabe has told everyone under a WWN contract that if they ask to be released, they will be. Also, he said there are no plans to run Evolve shows "right now".
Looks like Evolve is shutting down whether or not WWE buys their library.

Looks like Evolve is shutting down whether or not WWE buys their library. Vince will do what he did with ECW. Let the company go belly up, everyone gets released, then scoop up the smoldering remains later. And then, if the fates hate us, in five years Shane will get Evolve "relaunched" and destroy anything good that came of it.

From watching that show they put on the network, there's only one thing in Evolve, I'm interested in... Brandi Lauren.

I hope Gabe’s dream isn’t killed. We already have enough people doing the same routine matches on NXT already. We don’t need more children with uneventful personalities learning the same canned matches and trying to get over with dives.
We need a promotion where there can be some variety and growth. No one wants to watch Brad Pitt learn to act, they just want to watch the damn movie. I like seeing guys break in SOMETIMES, not every week.
