UPDATED: WWE Talking With EVOLVE Parent Company?

PWInsider reports that their source claims the timing of WWE talking with WWN actually has as much or more to do with the ROH/Figure Toy Company deal than it does with the ROH/Destination America deal. As reported, WWE was unhappy with Ring of Honor releasing a Kevin Steen action figure and the source confirms that news.
According to the source, the WWE/WWN relationship would apparently have WWN start to sign top indy names to exclusive deals that would include merchandising and licensing rights. This would allow WWE to have an easier time with licensing rights if they decide to bring the talents into WWE.
The soutce adds that SHINE being under the WWN banner is appealing to WWE as well, as they are interested in having a group of women that they could potentially sign and bring up into NXT use. SHINE is based in Florida, which makes it easier.
Basically, the deal would boil down to an official WWE/WWN relationship with any WWN-signed talents able to be picked up by WWE without any of the usual outside hassles that may come into play. Again, the deal is not done and there is no guarantee it will be completed, but it is being pushed by top officials in WWE’s developmental.
Opinionated View-This worries me. I'm sure the usual sheep will talk about how great this is. WWN puts on some great shows but under WWE things will change. Hell there Champion is Drew Galloway a TNA guy. Hell if I were someone who is doing well on the indy circuit I'm not going to want to sign away my rights to WWE until I'm under a full scale WWE contract.  And it sounds like it further eliminats free agents in wrestling. What if I'm a guy that under a WWN deal but I want to see what Japan or Mexico or TNA might offer but WWE picks me up. Hell what if I'm Chris Hero a guy that has worked with WWN do you think I want to go back to WWE after the BS they did to me?

WWE Talking With EVOLVE Parent Company?

 In potentially major news, PWInsider reports that according to sources inside WWE, there has been discussion between the company and WWN, the parent company of EVOLVE and Full Impact Pro. The discussion has been in regard to potentially working together in some capacity and was initiated by WWE.
The site notes that while the talks began around when ROH announced their new TV deal with Destination America, though it isn’t known if that deal was a factor. EVOLVE released a video at that time thanking TNA for allowing talent to work their shows.
There are rumors that WWE is buying WWN and turning it into a new developmental league, but those reports are not confirmed and whatever the deal is, it isn’t done or official and there are details being worked out.
Sal Hamaoui and Gabe Sapolsky have not returned requests for comment, nor has WWE.

AR Fox Comments on Issues with WWN LIVE

- As reported yesterday, AR Fox may be done with EVOLVE Wrestling. Fox was reportedly unhappy with the promotion over various issues, including some of the flights they have booked for him. Fox took to his Facebook page to address the situation, posting the following:

Just sayin. This is the cards for next weeks EVOLVE shows. It’s 9 days away and not one match announced on this card. And since there’s a huge lack of communication checking the “DGUSA” website is how I know if I’m booked or not. So when there was about two weeks left I booked myself. And now they wanna take it personally that I was making sure I lined up booking so I didn’t have an empty weekend without even tryin to understand. Cause honestly my loyalty was to them of if we just talked like “adults” for a few mins I woulda ended up doin EVOLVE anyway cause that’s how I am. But instead I got responses in all caps with cusses. And tryin to future endeavor me like the WWE. Tellin me they wish me the best and hope to see me on Lucha Underground when a few months back they held me back from it when Lucha sent me details on a contract ha. And yea I didn’t like they flights they got me cause they were to the wrong f**kin state of course I didn’t like having my girl drive me an hour and a half to the airport and then pick me from there which means we’d hit tolls 4xs when they coulda just flew my from CT (like every other promoter that flies me) where the airport is 30 mins away from me with no tolls. So yea man they just made this shit into a storyline but this is what it is. Flights wouldnt of been an issue I still drive 15 hrs to shows. It was jus that our relation is goin on 5 years. I jus want everyone to Know I’m cool n jus wanna wrestle but they got sensitive way too quick over a booking.
