That's a bad landing for @EthanCaseClosed… @austintheory1 is firmly in control! #EVOLVE88

Fred Yehi defeated ACH via submission
Yehi was supposed to face Trent Baretta, but he was out with an elbow injury, so ACH came out to challenge him for the #1 contendership for the EVOLVE title, but didn’t put on his ring gear because it wasn’t the main event. ACH went for a 450 splash, but Yehi got his knees up and locked in a Koji Clutch for the win.
Rows 1-4 will now be referred to as The @GoGoACH Zone. #EVOLVE88

EVOLVE Championship – No Holds Barred Match
Zack Sabre, Jr. (c) defeated Timothy Thatcher via Octopus Stretch
After the match, ZSJ said that this rivalry was over and he lost respect for Thatcher when he didn’t hand the title over right away when ZSJ originally won it from him, but was giving Thatcher a chance to make things right. Thatcher asked Stokely Hathaway to give him the title, and he handed it over to ZSJ.
This could end up on the streets of Charlotte, for all we know. #EVOLVE88
