Theory retained the EVOLVE title against Raul Mendoza at EVOLVE 126 earlier this month. Theory then cut a promo challenging Cole to the non-title match, with Theory bringing up wins that he has against Undisputed Era’s Roderick Strong (in a triple threat match where Theory pinned Fabian Aichner) and Kyle O’Reilly in EVOLVE.
Ohno & Harlem Bravado will face AR Fox & Leon Ruff at EVOLVE 127, and Ohno vs. Josh Briggs has been announced for EVOLVE 128. Ohno will also be a guest trainer at WWN’s seminar/tryout in Indianapolis on May 11.
Briggs is returning to action after suffering a dislocated hip in March. He cut a promo challenging Ohno and calling it a dream match of his.
