There's rumors that the El Grande 2 is Pete Dunne. So far its been Chad and Ludwig, but that stubby, shorter one might be Dunne.

  @Constance Affinito Hey, take it from me... People down you for anything. Just be in solace and the fact that I like everything you type man. Kindness is free, hatred gives you guilt in the end. 😊

Lince Dorado's entry on this site is bugged, he can be seen on the main roster's mid card when clicking on face/heel div when he's an evolve wrestler.
Wes Lee, Tyson DuPont and Tyriek Igwe; this stable isn't part of Evolve anymore since evolve 15 and they're now back doing stuff on nxt
Tyra Mae Steele, Dante Chen and Brooks Jensen have all had a match on evolve recently and are part of it now
Kiana James came back from her injury, she went vs Michin on main event and showed up on smackdown

Brooks Jensen low card, only ever lost before he mainly shows up in house shows and before coming to evolve
Wendy Choo low card, she's just an evolve wrestler again only coming in dark/house matches to nxt
Nikkita Lyons low card, I don't need to explain this one since it's the most obvious one of all if you look at her match history lol
Mike Santana high card, makes no sense for him not to be and Joe Hendry is. or just remove him
Je'Von Evans high card, since his stuff with Jasper Troy he has been built up to be a high carder again. Especially now with that stuff with Undertaker
