In an update to the stories about FloSports’ lawsuit against EVOLVE’s parent company WWN and WWN’s response to the lawsuit, FloSports has now canceled the streaming of EVOLVE’s show tonight and all WWN shows going forward.
FloSlam posted this statement on their website:
Planned coverage of WWN events will no longer be available on FloSlam. This includes EVOLVE, SHINE, FIP, Style Battle, and ACW events. We know fans are excited about these events and we’re disappointed to share that we will no longer provide the coverage you deserve and expect. If you’d like a refund, please email support@flosports.tv with the subject line “FloSlam Refund Request,” and our team will assist you.
Gabe Sapolsky, the co-founder and head booker of EVOLVE, originally took to Twitter to make the announcement, telling customers to go to FloSlam with any complaints.
FloSlam is refusing to broadcast tonight's EVOLVE event. We apologize, but this is their decision. Please contact them for customer issues

Where does this leave both companies? As speculated in the story earlier today, EVOLVE and WWN could find life on the WWE Network, but the short-term lack of exposure could hurt them. FloSlam is also reportedly refusing to pay WWN from July onwards, according to PWInsider, which obviously will hurt them financially.
As for FloSlam, the following image was doing the rounds on social media, showing a list of all of FloSlam’s upcoming shows that they’ll be streaming:
For $20 a month, I think customers may not find value there. Here’s hoping they find a way out of this too.
