Evolve 135 took place this past Friday night in Brooklyn, New York. Outside of the usual Evolve action, several NXT regulars made their presence felt. Here’s what went down at the Saint Finbar Catholic Church Gym.
- KC Navarro pinned Anthony Henry after Henry laid down in the ring instantly. Henry sucker-punched Navarro after the match and hit a Drill Bit and a diving double stomp.
- Avery Taylor pinned Alex Gracia in a match also featuring Vanity, Natalia Markova, Shotzi Blackheart, and Brandon Lauren.
