#3. WWE could reportedly purchase Evolve
WWE and Evolve have had a fruitful partnership since 2015 as Vince McMahon's company has since looked at the Philadelphia-based promotion for scouting potential talents. Evolve's 10th Anniversary show was also streamed on the WWE Network.
The pandemic and its impact on the professional wrestling business has negatively affected Evolve, who are going through major financial issues, as reported by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The cancelation of WrestleMania week was termed as 'catastrophic' for the Gabe Sapolsky-led promotion. There are now rumors that Evolve could be looking to sell their tape library and 'pretty much everything' to the WWE.
People in the WWE and Evolve could neither confirm nor deny the report.
Meltzer revealed:
There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks regarding the future of Evolve and WWE. It's not a secret Evolve had major financial issues and the canceling of WrestleMania week was catastrophic to them. They've been quiet, having not said anything. There were reports of them selling their tape library and pretty much everything to WWE but when asked, neither Evolve nor WWE would confirm or deny the story
