Since we are getting emails about this, here is what we know about a potential EVOLVE revival under WWE auspices:
*There have been rumors among talents on the independent scene for a month that WWE is bringing back EVOLVE in some capacity. No one in the company has confirmed this to PWInsider as of today, which is why we haven't reported, but since there have been so many emails, I wanted to address it here.
*The belief is there would be tapings at the Performance Center utilizing the WWE ID talents. Where any of this would air/stream we have not heard. Some indy talents believe the tapings would be in late January or early February but we have not heard that is the case.
*Gabe Sapolsky, who PWInsider.com is told signed a new deal with WWE late last year, would be in charge of the creative and has been overseeing the WWE ID brand thus far.
*We have not heard anything firm other than the WWE ID talent were showcased on NXT TV this past Tuesday "for a reason", according to one source.
*The end of WWE NXT Level Up was not to replace it with EVOLVE, but with the A&E "WWE LFG" series, which is currently under production.
WWE purchased the EVOLVE brand, video library and IP back in 2020.
