The Main Event – Non-Title
NXT UK Champion WALTER vs. JD Drake
These two had a hard-hitting bout over a year ago at EVOLVE 110. This was when JD Drake was on the rise in EVOLVE. Now WALTER enters this match as the NXT UK Champion. Drake enters this match as the former WWN Champion. What will happen when they collide in this contest that you’ll only see in EVOLVE?
Briggs Picks Theory’s Opponent
EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory vs. NXT Superstar Babatunde
The Theory vs. Briggs feud will reach a peak at EVOLVE 136. The Brooklyn event will see them pick each other’s opponents. Briggs has put Theory in the ring with the biggest, strongest and hardest chopper in EVOLVE. Will Babatunde soften up Theory for Briggs?
Theory Picks Briggs’ Opponent – EVOLVE 128 Rematch
Josh Briggs vs. Kassius Ohno
Ohno defeated Briggs at EVOLVE 128 using “dirty tactics” according to the WWE.com article announcing the match. Ohno has taken exception to this. He wants to teach Briggs a lesson. Theory has to be thinking that if Briggs loses here it will kill his momentum going into their title match at EVOLVE 136. Will he be right?
Skulk vs. Unwanted Six Man Grudge Match – EVOLVE Tag Team Title Match
Liam Gray & EVOLVE Tag Team Champions AR Fox & Leon Ruff defend
vs.
Eddie Kingston, Joe Gacy & Colby Corino
This is unusual as the EVOLVE Tag Team Championships will be defended in a six man tag team match! The Skulk vs. Unwanted feud has raged on for months. It will end this weekend. Fox & Ruff won the titles from Kingston & Gacy on the WWE Network. Who will leave the feud as the tag champs?
Evolution’s Edge Tournament Match #1 – Elimination Match
Anthony Gutierrez vs. Karam vs. Sean Maluta vs. Stephen Wolf
EVOLVE has replenished its roster with rising talent discovered in WWN Seminar/Tryouts, the WWN Recruitment Camp and by scouting the Indies. Several have signed contracts. Now it is time to see who will take the top spots. The Evolution’s Edge tournament will determine the hierarchy of the “class of 2019.” Who will do and who will die?
Evolution’s Edge Tournament Match #2 – Eliminatin Match
Anthony Greene with Brandi Lauren vs. Brandon Taggart vs. Curt Stallion vs. Daniel Garcia
The second qualifier is sure to bring lots more intensity from these hungry talents. The stakes are big. Who will be the top stars of 2020?
Special Attraction Match
NXT Superstar Arturo Ruas vs. John Silver
We just saw Silver on WWE Smackdown. Ruas has been a force in EVOLVE. Ruas needs to rebound from his loss to Anthony Henry at the last EVOLVE event. Silver is still fighting for his spot. They both need the win. Who will get it?
Four Way Freestyle
Shotzi Blackheart vs. Natalia Markova vs. Avery Taylor vs. Alex Gracia
EVOLVE isn’t just about featuring the best rising talent on the men’s side. This Four Way Freestyle will feature the women talent you need to know. Who will get the win and break away from the pack?
Grudge Match
Harlem Bravado vs. Adrian Alanis
Last time in Brooklyn, Harlem Bravado hit Adrian Alanis and Stephen Wolf with low blows to cause a no contest in a Triple Threat Match. Alanis is looking to even the score this Friday. Bravado, returning from suspension for an incident where he attacked Wolf in Melrose, MA, has been told he needs to win both his matches this weekend or he will be dropped from the roster. Will Alanis get the ultimate revenge by costing Bravado his job in EVOLVE?

This one has been building since Wrestlemania weekend. We’ve seen Theory attack Briggs with a crutch and chair.

Henry shocked everyone by costing his long time friend and tag team partner Drake the EVOLVE Championship Match at the last EVOLVE event. No one was more shocked or disappointed than Drake.
