There have been rumors ongoing about WWE buying Gabe Sapolsky’s EVOLVE promotion and putting it on the WWE Network. Those rumors have been around since WWE entered a working relationship with that company.
It could happen but it all depends on what Vince McMahon wants and he’s gone back-and-forth over the last couple of years on adding ICW and Progress to the network. There were times when he outright said “yes” about adding them but then he would change his mind. WWE is making more money now than at any point in history and they will shatter all previous revenue records with their new Fox Sports and NBCUniversal television deals so they will have plenty more cash to spend, whether it’s on new talent or buying a promotion like EVOLVE.
Sapolsky was reported to be working as a consultant for WWE earlier this year so their relationship is stronger than it’s ever been.
