Former Evolve Wrestling Star Already Getting Title Shot In WWE

He’s off to a hot start. The WWE Network has changed the way the wrestling world works in a very positive way. With so much content out there, the Network allows wrestling fans to see all kinds of content in a very short amount of time. One of the surprise features has been the addition of other promotions outside of WWE appearing on the service, allowing fans to see what else is out there. A wrestler who got his exposure in another company has since come to WWE and is already doing rather well.

In July 2019, the WWE Network featured a special event from Evolve Wrestling as the company celebrated its tenth anniversary. There were several talented wrestlers on the show that night and now that Evolve has gone out of business, a lot of them have made their way to WWE. One of those wrestlers has hit the ground running and is now in line for a title shot.

This week on 205 Live, former Evolve star Curt Stallion won a fatal five way match to become the #1 contender to the Cruiserweight Title. The match saw Stallion pin Tony Nese and also included Ariya Daivari, August Grey and Ashante Adonis. There is no word on when Stallion will get his shot against Santos Escobar. The match was held in honor of the 205th episode of 205 Live.

It was a big night. Check out what happened in the match:

Opinion: I know it might seem really obvious, but one of the easiest ways to make someone into a star is to have them win matches. That’s what they did here and Stallion is at least getting a chance. I would be surprised if he won the title, but it is nice to see him getting a chance to do something like this. WWE brings in all these people and at least they are finally doing something with one of them. Now do it again.

What do you think of Stallion? How will his title shot go? Let us know in the comments below.
