Chazz ‘Starboy’ Hall, CJ Valor & Santi Rivera Debut On WWE Evolve

Chazz ‘Starboy’ Hall, CJ Valor and Santi Rivera all debuted on tonight’s episode of WWE Evolve airing on Tubi.

Ahead of the show, it had been announced that some new WWE ID prospects would be debuting in a three-way match, with the winner becoming the number one contender for Aaron Rourke’s Evolve Championship.

The new debuting signings were Hall, Valor and Rivera, with Hall picking up the win, making him the number one contender.

The three debuts mark names changes for the new WWE ID signings as Chazz ‘Starboy’ Hall is the new name for Starboy Charlie, CJ Valor is the new name for Jimmy House, and Santi Rivera is the new name for Jariel Rivera.

Elsewhere on WWE Evolve tonight, there was a five-way match between Kali Armstrong, Wendy Choo, PJ Vasa, Laynie Luck and Nikkita Lyons to determine who would enter last in the Evolve Women’s Championship gauntlet eliminator match on April 15.

Vasa won the five-way by pinning Choo, so she’ll be entering last in the gauntlet to determine a new champion after Kendal Grey vacated the Evolve Women’s Title.

Dorian Van Dux – formerly known as Mike D Vecchio also made his Evolve debut tonight, defeating It’s Gal.

Is The WWE ID Program Working?

The WWE ID program launched in late 2024 and has already seen several talents make their way to the NXT roster, including current NXT Tag Team Champions Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes, as well as Jackson Drake, Sean Legacy and Eli Knight.

There are others who have exited the program and gone on to find success elsewhere, including Zayda Steel who is now signed with AEW.

Overall, so far, it does seem to be a positive, as none of the talents involved – even those that have left – have been vocal with anything negative about the program itself.

With these newly debuted stars and others like Jack Cartwheel who has been shining in AAA as of late, it does seem like WWE ID is working well up to this point.
