Former EVOLVE Wrestling Champion Zack Sabre Jr. has parted ways from EVOLVE for a full-time contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling, according to a report from The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Zack dropped the EVOLVE Championship to current Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Tag Team Champion and former MMA fighter Matt Riddle a few days ago after holding the championship since February of 2017.

 

EVOLVE posted the following on Twitter:

 

Heartbroken to have to say goodbye to @zacksabrejr, but were unbelievably proud to have had such a great champion and wrestler be part of the WWNLive family. Thanks for everything, Zack. Come back anytime.

What the actual *Censored*?

 

Oh wait, the gimmick is back, the wrestler playing it could be someone else...

 

From the Observer:

 

Katsuya Kitamura, 32, the 2017 Wrestling Observer Rookie of the Year and a wrestler considered theJapanese version of Brock Lesnar, may no longer be with the company.
Kitamura has been out of action for five weeks. His last match was on 3/4 in Tsukuba, teaming with Manabu Nakanishi, losing to Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano. He apparently suffered a concussion in that match and hasn’t wrestled since.
There are reports that he’s out of action with a concussion and his career is over. Those within the company have said that the concussion is a cover reason and it was another as yet undisclosed reason why he is not expected back.
Katsuya fooking Kitamura? Get the *Censored* outta here.

Will Ospreay revealed that he will be using a new finisher called the Storm Breaker, which he says is just as impactful as the Oscutter but safer for him. You can see both moves below.
