Tony Nese
As noted earlier this week, WWE Cruiserweight Classic competitor Tony Nese reportedly signed a new deal with WWNLive.com, which is the parent company of EVOLVE.

In a new update, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting Nese’s deal doesn’t necessarily exclude him from being picked up by WWE, noting the EVOLVE / WWE relationship. The reported agreement between the two promotions would see an EVOLVE talent sought out by WWE as being free to go. It was also noted that a benefit for people signing with EVOLVE over TNA/Ring Of Honor is that the talent could leave, whereas if they were signed to the other two companies, they’d have to wait to be signed for the duration of the contract.
