We have a new EVOLVE Champion.

EVOLVE 117 was live on the 'World Wrestling Network' from Queens, New York at the 'LA Boom'. The main event that has been promoted for weeks featured the return of current NXT Tag Team Champion and Undisputed ERA member Roderick Strong challenging for the EVOLVE Championship in a Triple-Threat against Austin Theory and the then-champion and fellow NXT talent Fabian Aichner.

It was a back and forth Three-Way bout and all three men had moments where it appeared that they were going to walk away with the EVOLVE Title but in the end it was the former WWN Champion Austin Theory pinning Fabian Aichner to become the new EVOLVE Champion.

Thanks for the belt, now outta @austintheory1 and @priscillakelly_'s ring, please... #EVOLVE117 #ClubWWN
