NXT’s Kushida set for EVOLVE 133 and 134
Kushida will be making his EVOLVE Wrestling debut later this month.
Kushida will be in action at EVOLVE 133 in Livonia, Michigan on Saturday, August 24 and EVOLVE 134 in Chicago, Illinois on Sunday, August 25. He’ll also be available for meet-and-greets on both nights.
Drew Gulak sent out a tweet teasing that he’ll be defending his Cruiserweight Championship against Kushida on the Chicago show. Tweets by Gabe Sapolsky and Drake Maverick then set up that the match will be happening.
Kushida signed with WWE and joined NXT after his contract with NJPW expired earlier this year.
