On July 23, 2018, on Raw, WWE's authority trio of Stephanie McMahon, Vince McMahon, and Triple H announced that there will be an all women's pay-per-view on 28 October, 2018 and it will be known as Evolution.

WWE Evolution was brought to us from the Nassau Coliseum of Uniondale, New York. The first ever women-only pay-per-view saw the best of past and present female wrestlers from the WWE take the spotlight for the first time ever. I thought that the women took the opportunity they were given and put on a show to remember.

Evolution proved that the WWE have come a long way in developing women's division, and the women’s division of the company is ready to take the company to newer heights, which will make WWE even more successful.

The first ever Women's pay-per-view will go down in history as one of the most successful and entertaining pay-per-views of all time. Many moments in this event left us awestruck and will be cherished by the fans for a long time.

The following are the three best things that happened on WWE Evolution.


#3 The Battle Royal

One of the most non hyped matches was the battle royal at Evolution. No one believed that this match could deliver and the women involved in this match will not get the spotlight they deserve. But the match delivered and it was a great battle royal with great storytelling and in-ring action.

This battle royal was different from the other battle royals and will surely go down as one of the best battle royals of all time. Superstars from different eras were involved in this match and there were many dream matches ensued. Alundra Blayze stood toe to toe with Nia Jax and Torrie Wilson battled the IIconics.

There were some startling moments as well, Mandy Rose turned on her own partner, Sonya Deville by eliminating her and Maria Kanellis returned to the ring after a long time.

Ember Moon and Asuka made the crowd wild and chant NXT when they tried to eliminate each other. This match was very well thought creatively but the only problem according to me was making Nia Jax the winner of this match, winning this battle royal could have helped Ember Moon to become a top-tier superstar. Let's wait and see whether it was the right decision to give Nia a shot at the Raw Women's Championship.

#2 Ronda Rousey will be the face of RAW

This match had a great build up. Both of the Superstars delivered personal insults to each other. Rousey attacked Bella's relationship with John Cena and diminished all of Bella's personal successes by saying that it was only because of John Cena and not her talent that she was successful in this business while Nikki Bella targeted Rousey's mother and made the claim that she was ashamed of her, and even went as far as to dedicate the match to her.

The match was a decent one and both of the Superstars delivered their best. This match could be called as a match between 'The Divas Era' and 'The Evolution Era'. In the end, Rousey ended 'The Divas Era' with an armbar; but, she didn't bury it. Bella held her own head high, showing that the Divas could stand toe to toe with the very best this present era has to offer.

The match only looked lacklustre because it took place just after the match between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch which is a potential candidate for the match of the year. This match confirmed that Rousey will be the face of Raw in the upcoming weeks.

#1 Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch

This match was one of the finest matches that I ever saw. The match had perfect storytelling, tremendous in-ring action and many shocking moments. The Last Woman Standing match between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch was a masterpiece. The performance given by both women was perfect.

This match had the best build up that I have seen in a long time. Going into the bout there was pure hatred, it could be felt in every Becky Lynch interview. The altercation between the two women at NXT Performance Center further intensified their feud.

The two women put on the most physical women's match that I remember seeing in the WWE main roster. Both of these superstars unleashed chairs, tables, and ladders on each other. There were many high flying moves too, Charlotte Flair hit an excellent moonsault that sent Lynch through a table and Becky used a ladder to drive Charlotte through the announcer's table. It was a gruelling and destructive last woman standing match.

In the end, Becky Lynch stood victorious over Charlotte Flair. I wonder if this feud will be ended here or it will be continued in the upcoming weeks. Give your opinions about WWE Evolution in the comments section below.
