Whatever happened to the WWE/Evolve alliance?

[saintpat]

Seems like it wasn't too long ago that word was out (via dirtsheets) that WWE was going to lend talent to Evolve/WWN shows (which happened a couple of times, but IIRC it amounted to a couple of apperances but not actual matches), and WWE was sending a strong message to indy talent to avoid ROH (in particular) and wouldn't sign people from there.

Now we have an ROH invasion in NXT and precious few signings that have gone the Evolve route (if any) since that.

Was that just Newz? Or did the Evolve/WWE alliance just fizzle out?

They pretty much took the whole evolve roster within last year when they started the cruiserweight division and signed Hero,Black and Drew plus they wanted Sabre Jr. but he didn't want to sign now as evolve rebuilds its roster their hand picking key talent from ROH it makes perfect sense their not signing everybody from ROH their picking up a few specific talents.
