Event Details

Event type: All Ages

If you’re looking for a massive way to start the new year, your search ends here. LIVE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING is returning to St. John’s in thunderous fashion as NEW Evolution Wrestling proudly presents the REPUBLIC RUMBLE.
This is not just a wrestling event.
This is CHAOS. SURVIVAL. DESTINY.
This is the night where careers are defined and futures are forged.
THE TOP DOG OF NEW
Standing at the very top of the mountain is your NEW Heavyweight Champion — “Bulldog” Brandon Hynes.
Dominant. Ruthless. Unbreakable.
Every eye in the building will be locked on the champion, because what happens at the Republic Rumble will directly shape his future — and possibly bring it to an abrupt end.
CHAMPIONS READY FOR WAR
Joining the Heavyweight Champion are two more titleholders bringing championship gold and intensity to the Armoury:
• NFLD Heritage Champion — “The Newfoundland Icon” Drew Douglas
• Interprovincial Champion — AZIZ
Three champions. One night.
And no guarantees.
OFFICIAL REPUBLIC RUMBLE RULES
This is where survival matters most:
Every two minutes, a new competitor enters the ring
Elimination ONLY occurs when a wrestler is thrown over the top rope
Both feet must hit the floor to be officially eliminated
There are NO pinfalls. NO submissions.
The match continues until only ONE competitor remains standing.
THE PRIZE IS CAREER-CHANGING
The winner of the NEW Republic Rumble will earn a guaranteed opportunity to face the NEW Heavyweight Champion “Bulldog” Brandon Hynes in the MAIN EVENT of SUMMERCADE 2026.
And it won’t be just any match.
That opportunity takes place in the most must see match in New Evolution Wrestling history !
