Ricochet worked for the parent company of the promotion, WWN, from 2010 – 2017 including holding titles in Dragon Gate USA.
Fellow NXT star Adam Cole was the latest talent to work under the EVOLVE banner as he competed at EVOLVE 121 and 122 against Shane Strickland and Darby Allin.
It should be noted that Balor teamed up with Finn Balor to take on Lio Riuh and Bobby Lashley where the faces won on Monday’s episode of RAW in Lafayette, LA at the Lafayette Cajundome on the USA Network.
