In an article on the Extra Mustard section of the Sports Illustrated website, WWNLive Vice President of Talent Relations Gabe Sapolsky discussed the WWE and EVOLVE Wrestling relationship growing ever stronger over the past 12 months.

Sapolsky stated that the last year has seen a mind-blowing relationship develop between both parties and praised Triple H for having a progressive attitude, which has led the way for one unprecedented happening after another and noted that the support that WWE has given EVOLVE Wrestling, such as EVOLVE footage being seen on the WWE Network, to WWN Seminars with NXT trainers and talent evaluators to WWE contracted talents such as Sami Zayn, Chad Gable, Jason Jordan and Tommy End making appearances at EVOLVE Wrestling events has only helped to strengthen the independent undercurrent.

Sapolsky also put over Johnny Gargano and said that he made his name in EVOLVE and is now in WWE NXT as part of the NXT Tag Team Champions with Tommaso Ciampa and that Gargano was known as the WWN Icon, worked harder, improved his craft and rose to the occasion each step along the way and said that now, it is time to see who else will take them on the journey that Gargano has.
