3 Signs former AEW Women’s Champion will enter Battle Royal at WWE Evolution

The second edition of WWE Evolution will go live on July 13, 2025. The all-women’s premium live event will feature a Battle Royal, which will allow the winner to claim a world title shot against the champion of their brand.

Fans are expecting to see several big names appearing in the contest in Atlanta, Georgia. Interestingly, here are three signs that the former AEW Women’s Champion, Saraya, will also participate in the match.

#3. She has been a free agent for a long time

Born Saraya Bevis, she worked in WWE as Paige before leaving the company in 2022 and joining AEW that same year. She has been a free agent since March 2025, following her departure from the latter company. Speaking about her departure from the Tony Khan-led promotion, she told Chris Van Vliet on his INSIGHT podcast that she didn’t have anything left to do in the AEW.

Interestingly, she also tweeted on July 2, 2025, hinting that the former AEW Women's World Champion has her eyes on the second edition of Evolution. Thus, there is a chance that WWE may have contacted Paige, and she could be making a comeback in the all-women’s PLE to participate in the Battle Royal.

#2. Paige is open to making a WWE comeback

During the same podcast with CVV, Paige revealed that she is open to coming back to WWE. The host had asked her if she would be joining the 2025 Evolution, to which she replied that she would consider it if the opportunity came.

The former two-time Divas Champion expressed her sadness for not being able to take part in the first edition of the all-women’s PLE. Paige stated that she had to sit out the event back in 2018 due to a neck injury.

This means that while she had answered CVV’s question with a maybe, she would likely say yes if she got the chance, since she is sad about missing Evolution 2018.

#1. The WWE Evolution 2025 Battle Royal has an open spot

Nikki Bella, Stephanie Vaquer, and several other superstars have announced that they will be participating in the Battle Royal at Evolution 2025. NXT’s General Manager, Ava, also declared Jaida Parker, Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend, Izzi Dame, and Tatum Paxley for the contest. More contestants will be revealed on the upcoming episode of SmackDown.

Despite this, the Battle Royal would still have an open spot left. Paige could very well fill this spot and make her comeback to the Stamford-based promotion. Interestingly, there is also a big chance that AJ Lee would fill this spot, and that WWE has dropped some hints for the three-time Divas Champion’s comeback. It would be interesting to see if Saraya enters the Battle Royal and unleashes The Anti-Diva in the all-women’s PLE.
