The Wrong Boyz are back to give their best stab at a preview for EVOLVE 114, a show we don’t know all that much about other than a) it seems like some WWE contracted wrestlers will be involved and b) it should be a pretty telling indicator of where EVOLVE is going from here. Honestly, it’s hard to preview a show where the big selling point is the stuff we don’t know about it, so just know we gave it our all. Thanks as always for listening to our dumb show, we love you. We also discuss WWN's Mania Weekend schedule, Joey Janela's injury, and Mustafa Ali and Chris Hero coming to EVOLVE soon.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
