3 Reasons Why an All-Women's-PPV (Evolution) Is The Right Move for WWE (And 3 Reasons Why It Isn't)

pay-per-view takes place on October 28th

Stephanie McMahon announced the first ever all women's pay-per-view called Evolution a few weeks ago on Raw as WWE has taken another huge step in the Women's Revolution. WWE's female roster is the best it has been in a very long time and the women have made so much history over the past few years that it's hard to see how they will be able to take this further forward at Evolution, but this is still the biggest thing that has happened to the Women's Division in a very long time.

Even though it's great news for the women in the company right now, there are both positives and negatives to the fact that the women will be given center stage in October.


#3 Positive: #GiveDivasAChance

The Divas Division has evolved over the years

Just three short years ago the hashtag #GiveDivasAChance was trending because the women were being given two-minute matches on Raw. The likes of Paige and AJ Lee were being wasted on pay-per-views and the WWE Universe wanted WWE to take their women seriously.

Fast forward three years and whilst Paige and AJ Lee are no longer active members of the Women's Division, the stars who have taken their place have proved that WWE was right to cash in on this revolution. There will be so many little girls in the crowd in New York in October that will look up to every single female who steps into that ring and will see this as the Revolution that it is. WWE superstars inspire so many children every day and this show will definitely have an impact on the next generation.

#3 Negative: The Stephanie McMahon Show?

Stephanie McMahon needs to remain as a figurehead

Stephanie McMahon has been pushing for the Women's Revolution over the past few years and completely deserves to be the figurehead for the entire Evolution that is happening but that doesn't mean that she should step back in the ring again.

Stephanie jumped at the chance to be part of the biggest acquisition that WWE has made in decades when she entered a feud with Ronda Rousey that led to a match at WrestleMania and has already been hinting that she could return to the ring as part of the show, which isn't the best idea. Stephanie works so much better as the figurehead than as one of the superstars.

#2 Positive: Changing the face of Women's Wrestling

Whether you love her or hate her, Ronda Rousey has changed the Women's Division in the few months that she has been part of the company. Women are being viewed differently and there is the audience now for the company to be able to push forward an all women's pay-per-view.

There are many fans who are pushing for former MMA stars and close friends Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey to main event the show against each other, which would definitely be a hard-hitting, grounded match that the WWE Universe is not used to. This is the perfect time for the Women's Division to gain a new identity and for the likes of Baszler and Rousey to take center stage because they have been a huge part of this Evolution.

#2 Negative: The Women That Will Be Missed

There are so many women that are currently being contacted by WWE to make a return to the company to be part of this historic show. With a field of more than 50 women expected to be part of the occasion, there will be many legends in attendance that the WWE Universe hasn't seen in a while.

The issue here is the fact that there will be a number of faces missing from the show because of their past issues with WWE including AJ Lee and Gail Kim. These two women are former Women's Champions and deserve to be part of the show, but sadly they won't be able to come back and will be huge misses on the night.

#1 Positive: Fantasy matches

Evolution could finally be the pay-per-view where the arguments between the old and new generations are answered. Who is the best female wrestler of all time? Is it Trish Stratus or is is Charlotte? This could be a match that the company makes for Evolution, which is something that would never have happened before the Women's Revolution.

There are so many fantasy matches that the company could book that would see generations collide and it's something that many fans are looking forward to. With Lita and Beth Phoenix already scheduled to be there as well, it will definitely allow the likes of Alexa Bliss, Carmella and Sasha Banks to step up and face the women that they grew up admiring.

#1 Negative: The Bella Twins takeover?

The Bella Twins will always dominate WWE
The Bella Twins will always dominate WWE

The Bella Twins haven't wrestled on WWE TV since The Royal Rumble, but are still seen as two of the biggest stars of the Women's Division. The duo does much more work outside of the company at present than they do whilst they are part of it, but will still be featured highly on the show.

The Bella Twins made up two of the three finalists in The Royal Rumble back in January and the WWE Universe were genuinely concerned that WWE would have allowed one of them to win the historic match. WWE doesn't know how to book The Bella Twins if they aren't on top and this is a trend that needs to end. Asuka needs this pay-per-view more than anyone right now, she's been on a terrible run since WrestleMania and hopefully, WWE will ensure that this is the case.
