March 14th: Lio Rush is back in EVOLVE! We’ve seen this young, exciting competitor a few times in past years in EVOLVE. Now he has put the EVOLVE roster on notice. He’s starting back with one of the toughest opponents possible. It’ll be Lio Rush vs. Drew Galloway at EVOLVE 81 for Rush’s return to EVOLVE.

March 14th: It’ll now be Timothy Thatcher with Stokely Hathaway vs. ACH at EVOLVE 81. Originally, ACH was supposed to face Drew Galloway. However, Thatcher’s agent Hathaway says that Thatcher wants to “teach ACH a lesson” after getting involved in the post match at EVOLVE 79 when Thatcher was going to hand the title belt over to Zack Sabre Jr. as is tradition with EVOLVE Title changes. We do have to note that Thatcher could have saved Zack from the attack of Ethan Page, but instead chose to drop the title belt to the canvas and leave.

March 14th: Darby Allin is still missing so we are unable to announce any matches with him. The new EVOLVE Mini-Doc shows that The Gatekeepers actually carried Darby out into the streets of Queens, NY in a bodybag.
