Evolution Wrestling is an American-based promotion that is financially backed by Tim Kamen, but ran by Mike Powers. Evolution Wrestling was originally under the guidance of Chief Executive Officer Laura Lyne. Laura Lyne eventually left Evolution Wrestling in the care of Mike Powers. EW was originally the developmental territory for Kamen’s Premier WC promotion, but eventually absorbed the British-based promotion when the roles of popularity between Premier WC and Evolution Wrestling had flipped in the summer of 2009.
Evolution Wrestling is not a new promotion in reality. Evolution Wrestling originally was known as eVOLUTION Wrestling, another promotion that was created by Tim Kamen. eVOLUTION Wrestling was originally International Wrestling Alliance, but changed names to avoid potential suits from other promotions who sought the sole rights to the name. eVOLUTION Wrestling was eventually revived, taking on the more proper spelling used now.
Evolution Wrestling has a show every Sunday night know as Affliction. Each Affliction card is announced the day after the results are posted. Pay-Per-Views are held monthly.
