EVOLVE Wrestling recently held their EVOLVE 107 Event which emanated from Melrose, Massachusetts. The show featured NXT North American Champion Adam Cole defending his NXT North American Title against WALTER in a Dark Main Event that didn’t air on the iPPV Broadcast and EVOLVE Champion Matt Riddle defending his EVOLVE Title against AR Fox in the main event itself.
Below are the complete results from the show:
– Josh Briggs def. Dominic Garrini (w/ Stokely Hathaway). Briggs countered a guillotine and hit his chokeslam onto the knees for the impressive win. Hathaway offered Briggs a Catch Point contract after the match, which Briggs took before storming off.
– Adrian Alanis (w/ AR Fox & The Skulk) def. BSHP KNG. The fire alarm went off as The Skulk were making their way to the ring, which caused a “Burn it Down” chant before it finally stopped. The crowd erupted when the noise stopped. Once KNG made his way to the ring, he yelled that he pulled the alarm to get a rise out of everyone. Alanis was able to avoid a swanton and scored the win with a roll-up.
– Darby Allin def. Jarek 1:20 (w/ Candy Cartwright). These two have had issues for months now and has finally settled it in the ring. The fire alarm went off again during the match, prompting the crowd to chant “Use Your Magic” to Jarek. Allin hit a pair of Coffin Drops for the victory.
– Anthony Henry def. Timothy Thatcher. Incredibly physical match here with Henry targeting the leg of the larger man. Thatcher was all over Henry but was caught in an ankle lock on his already damaged leg and forced to tap out. WALTER was checking on his tag partner after the match and Thatcher took a cheap shot at Henry before leaving.
– FIP Champion Austin Theory (w/ Priscilla Kelly) def. DJZ & Joey Janela (w/ Penelope Ford) to retain his title. This was scheduled as a one-on-one match before Janela made his way to the ring and said that he wanted a chance to win two titles from Theory this weekend, referencing how he won the WWN Championship from him in Brooklyn on Saturday at EVOLVE 106. The crowd loved the action. DJZ attempted to pin both men at once with an impressive combination. Janela hit the super brainbuster that had defeated Theory on Saturday on DJZ, but Theory stole the pin for himself to retain the FIP title.
– Saieve Al Sabah def. Jaka, Bad Bones & Jon Davis in a Four-Way Freestyle Match. This was the EVOLVE debut of Al Sabah, who’s been elevated from ACW to FIP and now the flagship of the WWN promotions. Davis imposed his will early on with his power before Al Sabah showed what he was capable of with a snap suplex, a kip up and a corkscrew dive to the outside to get the crowd going. All four men showed their strengths in this one.
– Chris Dickinson (w/ Stokely Hathaway) def. Tracy Williams by DQ in a Catch Point Rules Match. Punches were illegal and Williams punched Dickinson right away for the DQ. Williams got his hands on Hathaway but wasn’t able to punish him before the rest of Catch Point joined in. Briggs made the save for Williams, who still has a lot to settle with his former crew.
– EVOLVE Champion Matthew Riddle def. AR Fox (w/ The Skulk) to retain his title. Great match here between the first-ever EVOLVE Champion (Fox) and the current top guy in the promotion (Riddle). Fox went barefoot and was wearing shorts for this match to be competitive with the MMA style of Riddle and it didn’t slow him down one bit. Fox countered a Bro to Sleep into a cutter and transitioned to a submission. Later, Fox hit a flurry of huge moves, including The Fox Catcher that had never been kicked out of before. Riddle was able to survive the onslaught and roll to the outside before regrouping to mount his own flurry of offense, including a powerbomb and multiple successive knee strikes before a mount and referee stoppage. Before Riddle could celebrate, Austin Theory attacked him and proclaimed himself as the champion in EVOLVE. Fox’s students The Skulk helped run him off before celebrating with Riddle themselves to close the show.
Dark Main Event Match:
– NXT North American Champion Adam Cole def. WALTER to retain his title. This was for the live crowd only and they were very hot for it. Cole avoided WALTER’s chops and worked over his hand to further prevent the chops, though they still came later. Cole was able to retain his title after a barrage of moves and kicks. Following the match, the two shook hands and Cole celebrated with the crowd to send everyone home happy.
