Thank you for reading the WWNLive Alerts. We have major news as the complete EVOLVE Title Tournament for April 5th in Secaucus, NJ at WrestleCon is set. We have all the details plus news on the SHINE live iPPV this Friday, Brian Kendrick with a very unusual promo and more. Let’s get to it….
February 20th: EVOLVE will crown its first Champion on April 5th. The one day tournament has been finalized. Here is a look at the seeding with the brackets below:
#1: Chuck Taylor (10-5)– His spot on top of the Leader Board with Most Wins and Best Record secure the top seed and a first round bye.
#2: Ricochet (5-2)– He has the best winning percentage in EVOLVE. That gives him the #2 seed and a first round bye.
#3: AR Fox (7-6)– The first Style Battle winner is tied for Johnny Gargano for 2nd most wins. He will face the #4 seed with the winner getting Ricochet in the 2nd round.
#4: Jon Davis (5-4)– It was close between Davis and Rich Swann for the #4 seed, but in the end Davis won out for having more wins and capturing Style Battle last year.
NOTE: Seeds #5-#8 Will Complete In A Four Way Freestyle With The Winner Wrestling Chuck Taylor In The 2nd Round.
#5: Rich Swann (3-2)– Two wins at EVOLVE 18 propel him into the tournament and give him the #5 seed.
#6: Samuray Del Sol (2-3)– This exciting high-flyer sneaks into the tournament after a memorable best of three series against El Generico in 2012.
#7: Sami Callihan (3-7)– A staple and important figure in EVOLVE history, Callihan has the odds against him due to his poor Record.
#8: Jigsaw (1-3)– A surprise entry, EVOLVE officials decided to include him feeling he has the skills to represent EVOLVE. He is the longshot/underdog competitor.
NOTE: Johnny Gargano Would Have Been The #2 Or #3 Seed With A 7-4 Record, But He Refused Entry Into The Tournament Citing That The Title Is Not Needed Because He Is DGUSA Open The Freedom Gate Champion.
February 20th: Here is a graphic with a look at the brackets. We have another look at the lineup below:
