There WAS a hypothesis, when predictions are born out, & no falsifications made, it becomes a theory.

Evolutionary theory has been tested & tested. How many out of order fossils are there, out of how many thousands of fossils? How many molecular phylogenies are there that closely match each other AND morphological phylogenies, compared to those that don’t? Put simply, molecular/genetic phylogeny is a test that continues to bear out the predictions of evolution. Sequences, whether they be nucleotide/amino acid/gene, all differ more the greater the predicted distance in time between species & taxa.

read it and weep evoluionists
Science doesn’t deal in proof. The VERY best scientific theories are tentative to a greater or lesser degree. You may be misunderstanding the scientific method. A scientific theory must have (here we go again) potential falsifications, predictions, & supporting evidence. The predictions of evolution have been born out time & again (see above for just two), & no falsifications have (none that require the theory to be discarded, anyway). Hence it is now a theory, not just a hypothesis.
What results are scientists claiming after they have tested the hypothesis?
