5 things you need to know from Evolve 131

#3 Johnny Gargano returns to Evolve

Johnny Wrestling will follow Adam Cole to the ends of the Earth

Adam Cole successfully defended his NXT Championship against the Stamina Monster, Akira Tozawa in the main event of Evolve 131. If you've seen Cole and Tozawa before, you knew, going into this that it was going to be incredible.

The former Cruiserweight Champion put up a valiant effort against the leader of the Undisputed Era. In fact, Tozawa took Cole to the limit, which led to him rolling outside for the title. Back in the Ring, he decided he'd had enough of Tozawa and attempted to disqualify himself with a belt shot. Before he could, though, his rival Johnny Gargano rushed the ring.

This distraction allowed Tozawa to level Cole with a huge spinning roundhouse kick. However, the Panama City Playboy managed to put his knees up, right as Tozawa leapt off the ropes for the Senton Splash. Following the Panama Sunrise and the Last Shot, Adam Cole walked out with the title still around his waist.

Gargano then jumped into the ring, demanding that he and Cole settle their differences in the ring right then and there. Cole decided against it, leaving up the ramp as Gargano and Tozawa stood in the middle of the ring. Gargano then took a mic, discussing the history of Evolve and how important this company has been to the likes of himself, Tozawa, Cole, and many NXT and WWE superstars of today.

That was one for the history books. Did you enjoy the show? #EVOLVE131 @JohnnyGargano @TozawaAkira pic.twitter.com/11w6tKNmO0

It was a great way to end the 10th Anniversary special, as Gargano asked a question that's brought up at every Evolve event. And yes, we did enjoy the show.
