EVOLVE Championship
Zack Sabre Jr. defeated Jaka via bridging pinfall

Before the match, Jaka got on the mic and asked if anyone thought he could win the title tonight. Most people in the crowd said no. This was a really good match and the crowd was very into it. Sabre won seemingly out of nowhere with a bridge to pin Jaka.

After the match, Stokely Hathaway came out, then Darby Allin came out and they each tried to grab the mic. Timothy Thatcher came in and grabbed it from them, then said he wanted a title shot in a no holds barred match. He then attacked ZSJ, then attacked Darby Allin and tore off his cast from his broken elbow and beat him with it.

Incredible combination from @YeowSavage! The champ could be in trouble! #EVOLVE87

Trent Barreta defeated Austin Theory via the Dudebuster

Another really good match. Crowd chanted “please come back” at Trent. After the match, Priscilla Kelly came out and distracted Trent, then Austin Theory hit him with a low blow from behind and Austin, seemingly turning heel, left with Priscilla.

If @austintheory1 can keep this up, he might pull off the upset! #EVOLVE87

WWN Championship
Matt Riddle defeated Keith Lee via headbutt

Amazing match. The crowd was extremely into this throughout, with dueling chants and loud chants of “Both These Guys.” After lots of great action, both guys exhaustedly exchanged blows in the middle of the ring until Riddle hit Lee with a headbutt to knock him down, then collapsed onto him for the win.

After the match, Ethan Page came out and attacked both men, saying he was sick of them being the “golden geese” of the company. Tracy Williams then came out and attacked Riddle while Page attacked Lee. Williams said he would be facing Riddle for the WWN Championship on August 12, then had Stokely Hathaway slap Riddle. Riddle and Lee eventually got up and fist-bumped in the ring, to the crowd’s delight.
