Main Event #1 – EVOLVE Tag Team Championship Match – Anything Goes
AR Fox & Leon Ruff defend vs. Joey Gacy & Sean Maluta of The Unwanted
The Unwanted have left Fox, Ruff and their Skulk teammates injured in the past. Fox & Ruff gained a measure of revenge by winning the EVOLVE Tag Team Championships on the WWE Network at the EVOLVE 10th Anniversary Celebration. Now The Unwanted have switched things up and will send Sean Maluta as Joe Gacy’s partner for this Anything Goes Match. This will be your main event. Who will win the war?
Main Event #2 – Only In EVOLVE
Matt Riddle vs. Josh Briggs
Johnny Gargano was known as the WWN Icon for his contributions to EVOLVE and Dragon Gate USA. Gargano’s final night as a member of the EVOLVE roster at EVOLVE 69 say him pass the torch to Matt Riddle. He told Riddle to focus and win the EVOLVE Championship. Riddle did that. The last EVOLVE event saw Gargano say the same thing to Josh Briggs. This Saturday will see Briggs tested against Riddle. Will he pass?

Grudge Match
