At the recent EVOLVE 56 show in Queens, New York, NXT General Manager and WWE talent scout William Regal announced in front of a jam-packed crowd that qualifying matches for the WWE Global Cruiserweight Series will take place at upcoming EVOLVE shows.
Thanks to CageSideSeats.com, here’s what William Regal said to the fans:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I’m here – I’ll get to it. In a few months time, the WWE will be holding the Global Cruiserweight Series. 32 of the finest crusierweights from around the world will compete, and I am here tonight because I’m obviously scouting for those competitors. Most importantly, qualifying matches for the Global Cruiserweight Series will be taking place all over the world, but the qualifying matches here in America will be taking place at Evolve. So please, keep an eye out on the website and find out exactly when they are.”
Not only is this a huge announcement for the WWE Global Cruiserweight Series, but it continues to strengthen the relationship between EVOLVE and WWE/NXT, which can only mean that we might see more of these “cross-promotional” shows.
