WWE has announced that EVOLVE 139 and 140 will happen in New York City this weekend, and the shows will feature the return of Matt Sydal as Evan Bourne. Here’s the press release:

Fans in New York City will have the opportunity to meet some of NXT’s biggest Superstars and see even more competitors from the black-and-gold brand in action this weekend at EVOLVE Wrestling.

Fresh off their shocking appearances on Raw and SmackDown, NXT Champion Adam Cole and Tommaso Ciampa will appear for special meet-and-greets with fans this Saturday, Nov. 9, at La Boom in Queens and Sunday, Nov. 10, at Saint Finbar Catholic Church Gym in Brooklyn. Cole will also be a guest at an EVOLVE Seminar on Sunday in Brooklyn for wrestlers, referees, managers and announcers.

On top of the opportunity to meet Cole and Ciampa, fans in New York City will get to see events packed with action featuring more NXT Superstars, including EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory, Babatunde, Arturo Ruas, Reina Gonzalez and new WWE Performance Center recruit Shotzi Blackheart. Tickets for both events are available now, with EVOLVE’s new, reduced ticket prices starting at just $20.

In addition, WWE United Kingdom Champion WALTER will return to EVOLVE this December in Livonia, Mich. and Chicago. His opponents, along with those for the returning Timothy Thatcher, will be revealed in New York City.
