WWE Evolve Men's Championship

In July 2020, the American professional wrestling company WWE acquired the independent promotion Evolve. In March 2025, WWE launched a developmental brand called Evolve, a relaunch of the former promotion, featuring WWE Performance Center trainees, as well as wrestlers signed to the WWE Independent Development program. On the May 7, 2025, episode of Evolve (tape date unknown), the brand's Prime Minister Stevie Turner announced the creation of the WWE Evolve men's and women's titles. The titles were designed to be defended exclusively on the Evolve brand, offering more opportunities for WWE rookie talent, giving them increased exposure and opportunities. Jackson Drake became the inaugural champion by defeating Keanu Carver, Edris Enofe, and Sean Legacy, who Drake last eliminated, in a fatal four-way elimination match during the June 4 episode of Evolve (taped April 25). == Belt design ==

The WWE Evolve Men's Championship belt design is similar to the original Evolve Championship from the original Evolve promotion, but it consists of the WWE Evolve logo at the center of the center plate with the word "Champion" at bottom of the plate. The plates are silver and purple and are on a black strap. There are four side plates. Like all of WWE's championship belts, the inner side plates feature a removable center section that can be customized with the champion's logo; the default plates feature the WWE logo over a globe. The outer side plates also feature the WWE logo but not on a globe. == Reigns ==
