Two wrestlers from NXT now hold the EVOLVE Tag Team Championship.
The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) defeated Chris Dickinson & Jaka at EVOLVE 114 in Ybor City, Florida tonight to win the titles. Ford won with a frog splash, then The Street Profits cut a promo saying they are going to remain champions and naming the cities that are on EVOLVE’s schedule.
EVOLVE also officially announced that Dawkins & Ford will be appearing at all of their upcoming shows in 2018. Tonight’s Tag Team title match was set up in storyline when Dawkins & Ford answered Dickinson & Jaka’s open challenge.
NXT’s Fabian Aichner, Jessie Elaban, Adrian Jaoude (with Cezar Bononi), and Dan Matha have also made appearances at EVOLVE 114.
EVOLVE made a few announcements concerning their relationship with WWE last week. All matches with WWE/NXT wrestlers will now air live on their Club WWN streaming service, Mustafa Ali was announced for EVOLVE 115 and 116, and Kassius Ohno is set for EVOLVE 117 and 118.
