WWE and  NXT will continue their partnership with the independent wrestling promotion EVOLVE this Sunday as NXT Tag Team The Street Profits challenge Chris Dickinson and Jaka for the EVOLVE Tag Team Championships. The following is from wwe.com:

An open challenge issued by EVOLVE Tag Team Champions Chris Dickinson & Jaka has been answered by one of NXT’s hottest duos, The Street Profits, setting the stage for an historic title match this Sunday at EVOLVE 114 in Ybor City, Fla.

The match, which WWE.com has confirmed is now official, will mark the first time that NXT Superstars have competed for an EVOLVE championship in an EVOLVE ring.

Dickinson & Jaka issued the open challenge after declaring they were hungry for new competition. The team known as Doom Patrol has successfully defended the titles for more than a year, including a victory against another pair of NXT Superstars, Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan, at WrestleMania Axxess in April.

Noting that Dickinson & Jaka haven’t exactly faced all the world’s great tag teams yet, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins were quick to answer the call in a series of tweets. King Tez and The Curse of Greatness even dedicated the latest edition of Street Talk to Doom Patrol.

Dickinson issued a fiery response of his own, telling The Street Profits that they need to “come correct” when they step to Doom Patrol.
Sources say the upcoming match has gotten the attention of the NXT locker room, meaning there’s no telling who else could attend this Sunday’s event.

Tickets for EVOLVE 114 at The Orpheum in Ybor City are available now at Ticketfly.com. For more details on other upcoming EVOLVE events, featuring the likes of 205 Live’s Mustafa Ali and NXT’s Kassius Ohno in action, head to WWNLive.com

What an awesome match for the local crowd who may be more into some upfront live action as opposed to watching WWE Evolution from home.
