3 Surprises we might see at WWE Evolution

The WWE Evolution is right around the corner and will be WWE’s first women’s only pay-per-view in its history. The main reason for that is the ever-increasing number of talented women wrestlers in the company who can carry the company on their own.

Along with that, due to WWE’s recent partnership with Saudi Arabia, we’ll have a few pay-per-views which will not feature any female superstars due to the restrictions in Saudi Arabia.

Hence, the WWE Evolution will surely help the WWE stay out of controversies surrounding equal rights, and also allow them to build on their female talent.

With that said, a great card has already shaped up for the Evolution pay-per-view. But we are sure that there will be a few surprises as the event unfolds.

Let’s take a look at three surprises that we might get to see at the WWE Evolution.

#3 Michelle McCool faces Lana

They came face to face at the Royal Rumble

Michelle McCool has put up a post on Instagram which confirms that she’ll be a part of the Women’s Evolution pay-per-view.

However, we are still unsure what role she’ll be in, and the post signals towards an in-ring competition of some sort. She scored 5 eliminations in the inaugural Women’s Royal Rumble and is still in great shape to take on any competition.

Earlier in the year Lana and Michelle had a few exchanges on Twitter, and it’s possible that Lana would like to see Michelle eye-to-eye in the ring after her husband Rusev was buried by The Undertaker in a casket match.

Will we see a few punches being exchanged between Michelle and Lana at Evolution?

#2 Io Shirai attacks Kairi Sane

The two women have faced each other in the past

Kairi Sane is currently at the top of the NXT women’s division after winning her first major title in the WWE. She is scheduled to take on Shayna Baszler at Evolution in a rematch of their NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 bout where the titles changed hands.

Io Shirai, on the other hand, will face Toni Storm in the 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament’s final match. It’s expected that Shirai will beat Toni Storm to win the tournament.

Io Shirai and Kairi have both wrestled for World Wonder Ring Stardom for a long time, and the WWE will surely want to cash in on that by putting the two in a feud sooner than later.

Will we see Io Shirai attack Kairi Sane after her match with Baszler? It’s a possibility, keeping in mind that Kairi will need a new opponent going forward after her feud with Baszler. Shirai is an equally talented wrestler and would want to establish herself in the company as soon as possible due to a few initial hiccups after signing up with the WWE.

#1 Women’s Tag Team Titles

Since the past few months, the WWE Universe has been expecting the WWE to announce a brand-new championship title for the women’s division.

The Women’s Tag Team title is one that has been topping the list of titles which could be announced. This past edition of Raw saw a change in one of the most anticipated match-ups, which could signal towards the launch of the titles.

A match between Trish Stratus and Alexa Bliss was being advertised for quite some time and was supposed to be one of the highlights of the pay-per-view. Now the same match has been turned into a tag team match with the addition of Lita and Mickey James.

Could the tag titles be announced just prior to the match with the winners of the match being crowned the inaugural women’s tag champions?

Well surely if that’s the case, then the prestige of the new titles will instantly elevate if the two legends end up becoming the first champions.
