43 Lenny Leonard welcomed the returning Chris Hero to the ring. Before Chris had a chance to say anything, Larry Dallas came out. He shook hands with Chris and praised him. And, as expected, he offered Hero his managerial services. “Sorry, Larry. Not interested,” Chris replied. The dejected Dallas looked like he was going to start pleading to Hero but Lenny shooed him out of the ring so the first match could start. Chris Hero def. Harlem Bravado There was some nice back-and-forth between these two until Hero started unloading elbow strikes. To Harlem’s credit, he withstood most of Hero’s signature moves but was done in by a Cravate Buster. Lenny confirmed what many fans had seen on social media: Uhaa Nation is no longer part of EVOLVE. Uhaa announced that due to the poor treatment from the fans and the fact that nothing was done about the way Chuck Taylor beat him for the EVOLVE Championship, he was quitting the company. Lenny expressed regret that Uhaa felt this way and that the company wished him well. Drew Galloway def. Biff BusickGalloway’s size advantage was more than Busick could handle. Drew executed his offense at will and put Biff away with his Double Arm DDT. Rich Swann def. Lancelot BravadoBravado bullied the smaller Swann, tossing him around the ring and talking trash. Once the momentum tipped in Swann’s favor, Rich put his acrobatic arsenal to use and pinned Lance with a Shooting Swann Press. Gabe's Book It Cam: Gabe: “Ricochet, you’re facing Anthony Nese tonight. You lost to his Premiere Athlete Brand partner Caleb Konley at EVOLVE 42. Will that be on your mind in tonight’s match?”
Ricochet: “ Caleb Konley had to cheat to beat me. Everyone saw it. So, yes, Anthony Nese is the one who’s going to have to pay for that. And Premiere Athlete Brand? Really? I’m the premiere athlete around here. I mean, who’s a better athlete than me? Huh?”Gabe: “You’re definitely one of the best here in EVOLVE.”
Ricochet: “I am the best. Not just in EVOLVE but all of professional wrestling! Don’t you forget it.” Anthony Nese w/Su Yung def. RicochetRicochet got in Nese’s face, comparing his physique to Tony’s. Once the action was underway, Nese dominated as Ricochet was on the defensive the entire match. Despite surviving two 450 Splashes, Ricochet fell to a Spider German Suplex. NON-TITLE Chuck Taylor def. Caleb Konley w/Su YungTaylor jumped the bell and leveled Konley with a running dropkick and tried for a early submission with a Cross Crab. The EVOLVE Champion continued to steamroll Caleb and Su Yung had to cause a distraction to prevent her man being pinned after an Awful Waffle. Taylor followed up with Sole Food and this time the ref counted three. AR Fox def. Johnny Gargano#1 contender Gargano had an intense face off with Fox. AR took the first swing. Johnny ducked and answered with a knee lift. A Lawn Dart Spear and a Hurts Donut set up the Gargano Escape. When Fox wouldn’t submit, Gargano tossed him to the floor. Fox fought back and sent Johnny into the ring post. This put Fox in the driver’s seat. Fox did a lot of damage at ringside with his suicidal offense, propelling him to a handful of near falls. Fox finished it with a Krunch. EVOLVE Champion Chuck Taylor came to the ring and got on the mic. “So does it look like Johnny Gargano is the #1 contender to you? Can I tell you people something about Johnny Gargano? He’s nuts. He sits in the locker every show mumbling to himself in the corner. He’s drooling like a mental patient to get his belt back. Well, I’m sorry, John-boy. You have as much chance at getting it back as you do getting out of the straightjacket they’re going to put you in.”Gargano freaked out and attacked Taylor, ruthlessly beating him with a steel chair. EVOLVE officials had to drag him to the back. Chucky T was in obvious pain but, for some reason, had a smile on his face.

Really enjoyed the victories by Hero and Galloway... Unfortunate that Ricochet couldn't get past Anthony Nese...
Gargano vs. Fox looked to be quite the match... Despite the loss, I'll still think The Whole Shebang will be the next Evolve champion... Watch out, Chuck-T! Very entertaining show!

Crimson Cross, Pariah - Gargano's attack on Taylor carries consequences regarding his run at the title as you are about to see. 44 Lenny Leonard opened the show explaining that Johnny Gargano had been suspended for his attack on EVOLVE Champion Chuck Taylor on last night’s show. Gargano forfeited his title match scheduled against Taylor for the main event and they were scrambling to find an opponent for Chuck. Harlem Bravado def. RicochetProbably the most unexpected moment of the night was Harlem’s crushing defeat of Ricochet. Bravado dominated a majority of the match. Ricochet did get in some spectacular offense as expected but Harlem was relentless and finished the match with a bicycle kick. The fans were speechless and Ricochet’s downward spiral may have hit rock bottom. Chris Hero def. Lancelot Bravado Lancelot was looking to repeat his brothers performance but he had no such luck. Hero used a couple of rolling elbows and Cyclone Kill for the fast win. Drew Galloway def. Rich SwannSwann had no answer for Galloway’s size advantage. Rich took some hard shots before succumbing to a Double Arm DDT. Gabe's Book It Cam: Gabe: “Chuck Taylor, you were scheduled to defend the EVOLVE title tonight against Johnny Gargano but he was suspended for attacking you last night. I can’t help but wonder if that was your plan all along.”Chuck: “Naaah. John-boy has an anger management problem. If he can’t take a little ribbing from the boys then he’s in the wrong locker room.”Gabe: “I think you may want to hear about who your opponent for tonight is…”
Chuck: “Hold on. I have a question for you, Book-it Gabe. What’s up with this Dragon Gate belt. Do I have to keep hauling this thing around? Am I gonna have to defend this too?”Gabe: “Right now we’re only recognizing the EVOLVE Championship. You can keep that belt for your trophy room or something.”
Chuck: “If this piece of junk doesn't mean anything, I don’t want it.”Chuck dropped the Open The Freedom Gate Championship in the trash can as he leeft. Gabe took it back out and set it on a nearby table. Gabe: “That’s just… disrespectful.”Anthony Nese w/Su Yung def. Biff BusickNese rolled over Busick in what was a glorified squash match. Reverse Piledriver by Nese and Biff gets jobbed out again. Caleb Konley w/Su Yung def. AR FoxKonley made a strong showing, punishing Fox for an extended period with the Oh! Face. "The Whole Fox’n Show" turned things around but made a bad decision when the pair went to the floor. Su Yung made a nuisance of herself and Fox pulled her tablet from her hands and slammed Caleb in the head with it. The ref disqualified Fox who was upset with himself. EVOLVE Champion Chuck Taylor came out, cocky, knowing he didn't have to defend his title against Johnny Gargano. His demeanor changed when his opponent was announced: Drew Gulak, the man he screwed over on his way to the top of the EVOLVE ladder. This was a non-title bout but championships were not what was on Gulak’s mind. NON-TITLEChuck Taylor def. Drew GulakDrew charged at the bell, blasting Chuck with a massive elbow smash. He then rattled Chucky-T with a Gulak Attack. Taylor reversed an O’Connor Roll and downed Gulak with a springboard moonsault. This left Drew vulnerable for an Awful Waffle and it was over just like that. Taylor made a hasty retreat and the crowd booed the lackluster finale to the show. Gabe's Book It CamJohnny Gargano rummaged in his duffle and looked up in surprise. He shouldered the bag’s strap and quickly headed for the door. Gabe: “Johnny, what are you doing here?”
There was no answer as the door closed behind him. The camera panned over to the bare table Gargano’s bag was on. EVOLVE TOP 10Champion - Chuck Taylor - Anthony Nese
- Caleb Konley
- AR Fox
- Drew Galloway
- Rich Swann
- Chris Hero
- Harlem Bravado
- Johnny Gargano
- Ricochet
- Lancelot Bravado

Oh, snap! What a cheap way for Taylor to avoid facing 'The Whole Shebang'... Hope that Gargano gets a shot upon his return... That was quite the moment, having Chuck-T dispose of the Dragon Gate title belt by tossing it in the trash... No surprise that Hero and Galloway won their respective matches... But, Konley managed to sneak out a victory against Fox (even if it was via DQ)... Enjoyed the non-title closing bout between Taylor and Gulak... Even though Taylor scored a definitive win, I think we'll see those two go head-to-head again... AFTER Chuck-T loses the Evolve Championship to Gargano... Very entertaining!

Pariah - Gargano is going to be out for a while (see below). We'll see how things stand when he gets back. A guy of his caliber will always be in the mix. WWNLive Alert June 2015 Edition We return to Florida next month for EVOLVE 45 & 46. Timothy Thatcher is scheduled to make his debut on these shows. Thatcher is a rugged grappler who will be a great fit in EVOLVE. Johnny Gargano remains suspended through that weekend. Substituting in Gargano's matches will be a familiar face. Making his return to EVOLVE - Trent Barreta! The line-ups have been set. The matches are as follows: EVOLVE 45Open The United Gate Championship The Premiere Athlete Brand vs. The Bravado Brothers AR Fox vs. Drew Galloway Rich Swann vs. Chris Hero Ricochet vs. Drew Gulak Chuck Taylor vs. Biff Busick Trent Barreta vs. Timothy Thatcher EVOLVE 46EVOLVE Championship Chuck Taylor vs. Anthony Nese Drew Galloway vs. Caleb Konley AR Fox vs. Chris Hero Trent Barreta vs. Biff Busick Drew Gulak vs. Rich Swann Ricochet vs. Timothy Thatcher Su Yung: “During the next EVOLVE weekend in Florida, the Premiere Athlete Brand has the chance to solidify their place as the top faction in professional wrestling. Anthony Nese and Caleb Konley are already Open The United Gate Champions and those stupid Bravado Brothers don’t stand a chance against them. Then on night two, Anthony will beat Chuck Taylor for the EVOLVE Championship. If that wasn't good enough, Trent Barreta is back. The Premiere Athlete Brand is stronger than ever and our success next month will prove it.”

Hope that Nese and Konley enjoy their victory at 45 because I don't see either of them winning at 46... Good possibility that Thatcher walks out of his debut weekend undefeated... Also expect plenty of success for Galloway and Hero... A pair of great looking shows... Nice!

Crimson Cross, Pariah - Thanks for commenting guys! 45 Lenny Leonard introduced the debuting Timothy Thatcher. As Thatcher came through the curtain, Larry Dallas, who was in the crowd, reached over the railing and grabbed Timothy’s arm, trying to get his attention. Thatcher reacted by taking a hold of Larry’s wrist and twisting it into a painful armlock. EVOLVE officials intervened and Dallas, nursing his wrist, was escorted from the building. Trent Barreta w/Su Yung def. Timothy ThatcherThatcher faced the returning Premiere Athlete Brand member Trent Barreta in this duel of contrasting styles. Trent’s fast-paced high impact style overcame Thatcher’s attempts at a methodical ground game. A step ahead for most of the match, Trent put Thatcher down with a flying forearm smash for a victorious return to EVOLVE. Chuck Taylor def. Biff BusickTaylor, the EVOLVE Champion, wasted no time in this non-title match. After spending a few minutes working on Busick’s back, Chucky-T dumped Biff out to the floor. He then came down on Busick with a somersault suicide dive that drove Biff into the ground and resulted in a count out. Ricochet def. Drew GulakAnother fast match as Ricochet got the flash pin after tornado DDT-ing Gulak and landing Chocolate Rain for the three count. Chris Hero def. Rich SwannSwann ran circles around Hero. His high-flying offense picked up a couple of pin attempts and Hero rolled out to the floor for a breather. Chris pulled Rich out of the ring and bashed him into the steel post. Hero heard the disapproval of the fans but stayed on top of his opponent, hitting Swann with a rolling elbow. Seemingly to spite the crowd, Hero took a chair to Swann’s back. The jeers grew louder and the referee issued Chris a stern warning. With Swann nearly out on his feet, Hero delivered the Death Blow. Everyone thought it was over but Rich barely kicked out. Swann was hit a few more times with Hero finishers, kicking out each time, but a Death Blow finally put him down for good. Drew Galloway def. AR FoxThe two popular competitors shook hands before the match. At the bell, Fox charged with a running big boot but Galloway caught it and shoved him back then countered with a big boot of his own. Drew hit Fox hard with some of the big moves in his arsenal. Fox was looking totally outmatched until he ducked a short-arm lariat and went to work. Despite hitting Drew with his best moves, Fox could not keep the bigger man’s shoulders to the mat. Galloway rebounded and the match swung back and forth with a lot of brawling at ringside. Galloway started to fade as Fox pounded him at the barricade. He failed to heed the ref’s warnings and was disqualified. The unfortunate ending did not detract from the fact that these two turned in the match of the night. Gabe's Book It Cam: Chris Hero finished packing his bag. Gabe: “Chris. Your tactics out there against Rich Swann tonight - people are going to want an explanation from you.”Chris: “Gabe, how long have you been booking me?”Gabe: “A long time.”Chris: “Right. And you know what’s important to me. More important than what the fans think, what my opponents think. Hell, even more important than what you think. What is that?”Gabe: “Winning?”Chris: “That’s right. Winning. I’m going to do whatever it it takes to get the W. And the rest… I just can’t worry about.”OPEN THE UNITED GATE CHAMPIONSHIPPremiere Athlete Brand(c) def. Bravado BrothersNone of the participants in the main event looked particularly sharp except perhaps Caleb Konley. Harlem and Lancelot were out of sync and Anthony Nese also had problems with his timing. Konley had both brothers in trouble on multiple occasions. Late in the match, Caleb hit the Home Wrecker on Harlem. This prompted EVOLVE Champion Chuck Taylor to try and interfere on behalf of his Bold Young Gentlemen teammates. He gave Konley a taste of Sole Food in full site of the referee and the Bravados were disqualified. Trent Barreta came out to even the odds and once the the PAB cleared the ring, Nese told Taylor that tomorrow night he would be taking the EVOLVE Championship from him.

Cool to see Trent? making a triumphant return to the ring... And I also enjoyed the victory by Ricochet... And Chris Hero is surely making an impact by showing everyone he'll do whatever it takes to win...
Superb performances turned in by Fox and Galloway, despite the unfortunate DQ decision... Hopefully, we'll see these two square off again soon...
Great job by PAB to retain the tag straps... Will Chuck-T have what it takes to keep the big prize away from Nese? Can't wait to find out...
Thoroughly entertaining , my friend... Great work!
