7 WWE legends confirmed For WWE Evolution

On October 28th, history will be made when Evolution, the first ever all-women's WWE pay-per-view, takes place. Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, hosts the first-ever WWE event where over 50 female Superstars are set to feature on a card where only female Superstars compete.

Needless to say, such a monumental event calls for a celebration of women's wrestling and the progress that's made, so we'll see the past, present and future of women's wrestling on the card as the historic event looks to tell the story of just how much wrestling has evolved over the years when it comes to the role women can play in the industry.

The card is already stacked, with WWE's Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships, the NXT Women's Championship and the NXT UK Women's Championship all set to be defended. The culmination of the Mae Young Classic 2018 will also take place at the event, as well as a number one contender's Battle Royal, but one of the big questions is...

"What returning legends will we see on the card?"

Well, a fair few are already confirmed, and we're running through the list the keep you updated ahead of the event!

#1 Trish Stratus

The WWE Hall of Famer has been very present in the build up — The WWE Hall of Famer has been very present in the

Well, where else could we start? When you think of legendary female wrestlers, very few could argue that Trish Stratus tops the list.

The six-time Women's Champion looked every bit the star she was in her prime when she returned at the first ever Women's Royal Rumble, and her match at Evolution was the very first match announced for the event when WWE announced that Stratus would appear in a singles match against Alexa Bliss.

The WWE Hall of Famer, though, has actually gone on a run in WWE to promote the event and, while Stratus hasn't been in an official match since the Royal Rumble in January, she's undoubtedly been one of the highlights of RAW in recent weeks.

Trish Stratus hyped her match with Alexa Bliss over the past month, a move that saw Stratus' old rival Mickie James get involved, asking for her own match with Stratus - and which leads us on to the second confirmed legend...

#2 Lita

Lita was already confirmed to appear at Evolution, but WWE decided to kill two birds with one stone and make Trish Stratus vs Alexa Bliss that much bigger by adding Mickie James to the equation and turning it into a Tag Team Match - resulting in a huge ovation from the WWE Universe when Trish Stratus announced her old foe-turned-friend as her tag team partner for the clash.

The two Hall of Famers have made quite the impact on RAW in recent weeks and, with the pair playing such a monumental role in getting women's wrestling to the point where people took the in-ring competition seriously, there's no doubt the pair are appropriate additions to the card.

Lita, like Stratus, made her return to in-ring action at the first ever Women's Royal Rumble back in January, where she made us see exactly why we all loved her in the first place.

#3 Torrie Wilson

Well, she's one of the biggest names in female wrestling, and Torrie Wilson is another lady who received a huge pop at the first ever Women's Royal Rumble when she made her return.

Wilson looked incredible at the event and seemed like she hadn't missed a step, so it wasn't a huge surprise to learn she'd be one of the legendary names WWE would call on to add more star power and nostalgia to Evolution.

Torrie Wilson is confirmed to participate in the Evolution Battle Royal where the winner will receive a shot at either the Raw or SmackDown Women's Championship going forward - where she'll do battle with the likes of Asuka, Nia Jax, Tamina and Noami, among others.

Wilson even posted a hilarious reaction video in response to WWE announcing her in-ring return. Let's just say it looks like Wilson will be ready to take on any and all comers on October 28th.

#4 Beth Phoenix

Another WWE legend and the third Hall of Famer slated to return at Evolution is Beth Phoenix. While we haven't heard a great deal about the role the Glamazon will play at the monumental event, she was one of the first three names announced - being confirmed alongside Trish Stratus and Lita back when Evolution was announced.

Phoenix would go on to confirm her own status for the event, saying she wouldn't miss it for the world, but there's again no news on the role she'll play at the event.

I’m so flattered by the @WWEUniverse response to me being at #WWEEvolution ...I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Thank you for demanding more all these years. My heart is so full! #MushFest

Beth Phoenix was another star who returned during the first ever Women's Royal Rumble, going head to head with Nia Jax to tease a definite "dream match" before having a very interesting moment involving her friend and the lady who inducted her into the Hall of Fame in Natalya. Phoenix has also taken on the role of commentary in recent years, though, so who knows what capacity we'll see the Glamazon in?

#5 Ivory

Another Hall of Famer will be at Evolution

And now we get to the first of the names not yet confirmed by WWE, but who will be at Evolution. As per PW Insider, WWE Hall of Famer Ivory is scheduled to appear at the first ever all women's WWE pay-per-view.

The former Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling wrestler joined the Hall of Fame just a few months ago in New Orleans. Moretti actually began her career in GLOW in 1986 under the name Tina Ferrari, the promotion which has seen a television series spawned from its origins, taking the world by storm with two seasons on Netflix.

While Ivory is the first performer on the list who didn't appear at the first ever Women's Royal Rumble, she may still be involved in some kind of physicality - and Bayley has even teased a match with the Hall of Famer at Evolution.

#6 Molly Holly

Alongside Ivory, Molly Molly has also been confirmed to appear at WWE Evolution. Ivory was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Molly Holly, so we may see the pair in a segment together, depending on WWE's plans for the legends.

Holly had previously made her comeback at WWE's first ever Women's Royal Rumble and, much like the aforementioned legends, looked every bit as good as we all remembered.

Molly Holly is only the second name on the list not yet in the WWE Hall of Fame, but much like Torrie Wilson, she's such an immense fan favourite that the news is still huge, and there's no doubt the crowd will pop for Molly Holly, much like back in January.

The former two-time WWE Women's Champion and former Hardcore Champion is scheduled to return but, much like Ivory and Beth Phoenix, there is no information as yet as to what role Holly will play at the monumental event.

#7 Alundra Blayze

WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze, also known as Madusa, will be appearing at the WWE Evolution. The last time we saw Blayze on live WWE television was in a special appearance at WrestleMania 31 shortly after her Hall of Fame induction.

Alundra Blayze, real name Debrah Ann Miceli, did appear on an episode of WWE's Table for Three on the WWE Network, though, alongside two other names who will appear at Evolution in Ivory and Molly Holly.

Yet again, there is so far no word on the role the former WWF, WCW and AWA Women's Champion will play at the event. Blayze is currently the commissioner of Japanese promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom. Blayze is a former WCW Cruiserweight Champion and a three-time Women's Champion in WWE, then known as WWF, so there's no doubt the innovative star is well deserving of a spot on the pay-per-view, and it'll be very interesting to see what role she plays at the event,

Who would you like to see join these seven women at Evolution? Let us know in the comments.
