EVOLVE announced on Wednesday that Joey Styles has joined the company and will be assuming a unique new “authority figure” role. The latest WWN Alerts states, “At this point in time, Joey wants to cement his legacy in wrestling. In order to do that, he is going to share his knowledge on EVOLVE events with the goal of making EVOLVE a better place.”
Joey Styles has been given the “go ahead” to interject himself at EVOLVE live events when he feels he can make the show better for the wrestlers and the fans. EVOLVE clarified “this isn’t a typical commissioner or GM role,” which hopefully means he won’t be turning heel any time soon.
“It’s about Joey paving a legacy of unselfishly giving back to the pro wrestling business and the fans.”
Styles’ new role with the promotion begins this Saturday at EVOLVE 68 and Sunday at EVOLVE 69.
