Well, this situation keeps getting uglier and uglier by the minute, it seems. FloSports, the parent network of FloSlam, which streams all of WWN’s live events, is now saying they will not air the scheduled EVOLVE Wrestling events this weekend. And, along with not airing this weekend’s events, FloSlam will not be airing any of EVOLVE’s future events.
The following statement was posted on FloSlam’s website:
“Planned coverage of WWN events will no longer be available on FloSlam. This includes EVOLVE, SHINE, FIP, Style Battle, and ACW events. We know fans are excited If about these events and we’re disappointed to share that we will no longer provide the coverage you deserve and expect. If you’d like a refund, please email [email protected] with the subject line “Floslam Refund Request” and our team will assist you.”
EVOLVE 92 and EVOLVE 93 are scheduled this weekend in Michigan and Illinois, but it’s being reported that FloSports informed employees planning to travel to the events that they were not to go to EVOLVE and work the shows.
Gabe Sapolsky took to Twitter to let people know what was going on.
FloSlam is refusing to broadcast tonight's EVOLVE event. We apologize, but this is their decision. Please contact them for customer issues

He also said they would try to get the weekend’s events up on WWN Live as soon as possible.
We are going to do our best to get tonight's show on https://t.co/gZuo0T5z4z ASAP

As we reported yesterday, FloSports has filed a lawsuit against WWN, citing that the company misrepresented their financial data when the parties struck a deal. Today, WWN’s attorney tried to shift the blame to FloSports, saying that the streaming service failed to promote their events as promised.
The way this is playing out, it’s really the talent that is going to suffer, as well as the fans who have already paid for a FloSlam subscription to see EVOLVE. Plus, this looks really, really petty on the part of FloSports. Kind of like, “Hey, you breached our contract, so we’ll just do it, too!”
We’ll keep everyone updated on this ongoing situation between FloSports and WWN.
