Evolve 10th Anniversary: Live Results/Reactions for WWE Network special

WWN Champion JD Drake vs. EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory – Winner Take All

Paul Heyman makes a surprise appearance to announce the contest and to scope out “the future” of professional wrestling.

Both men go for each other’s finishers, but because they know each other so well (fourth match here), they reverse them both. Chops from Drake light up Theory’s chest. Back body drop by Theory on the outside ramp.

Back in the ring, Theory pounds and kicks away at Drake.

Drake eventually mounts a comeback. “You can’t hit me harder than life has!” Drake screams.

Drakes nails a suicide dive, then chops and a slam in the ring. Vader Bomb for a nearfall.

Corner Senton reversed, Theory hits a Blockbuster for a nearfall.

Austin Theory attempts his finisher, but the big man is too big. Drake scales the top rope, but Theory lifts him onto his shoulders for 3 Seconds Around the World, for a nearfall.

Stunner by Drake! Then a Drillbit, and a moonsault for a nearfall!

Austin Theory finally nails his Ataxia finisher to become a double champion!

Winner: Theory

Grade: B-

Not gonna lie, had higher expectations for this. Not bad, but expected more. Didn’t really get hot until closer to the finish.

Theory cuts a post match promo when lights out. Lights back on, Josh Briggs chokeslams Theory.
