![]() The material is expected to be removed from in about a month. It is believed that some other material may have been purchased, perhaps including the earlier Full Impact Pro content, but how much is not currently confirmed. The site notes that the deal will also result in WWE owning all of Dragon Gate USA’s tape library as well. ![]() This situation led to WWN entering into discussions with WWE, and WWE has closed a deal that will result in them acquiring the promotion as well as EVOLVE’s tape library. That led to the company being in a massive financial hole with no way to get back out. The situation was exacerbated as the pandemic forced companies to shutdown and with no money coming in, EVOLVE had to refund ticket sales and pay talents who were contracted to them. That shutdown, while necessary, was a huge financial blow to independent promotions who rely on the weekend to help them stay in business throughout the year. PWINSIDER reports that the discussions started after the COVID-19 pandemic caused WrestleMania weekend to be shut down. Those reports heated up later when Gabe Sapolsky told the EVOLVE roster that there are no plans for the company to run shows going forward. The news confirms reports back in June from the Wrestling Observer that EVOLVE was looking to sell to WWE. According to PWInsider, WWE has closed the deal to purchase the flagship promotion of WWN Live after several months of negotiations. In a major story, WWE has reportedly officially acquired ownership of EVOLVE Wrestling.
