3 Women Who Should Be At Evolution And 3 Who Shouldn't

Evolution is shaping up to be a show filled with nostalgia and some top-notch matches. While Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella is likely to headline, matches like Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Bayzler and Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte in a Last Woman Standing match will probably steal the show. And let's not forget that some of the other women of NXT might show up in backstage skits, surprise matches or the battle royal.

While those ladies are currently under contract and on the active roster, there are some from the past who have been confirmed. Some are from the era that 'Evolution' was created in opposition to while some were actually decent in one of the darker versions of the women's division.

Who might show up? Who wasn't that great to begin with that might show up anyways? Who deserves to show up?

Should: Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn could return to WWE and make an impact right away.

Similar to Beth Phoenix and Natalya, Kaitlyn started out as a blend of strength and beauty. She wasn't the cleanest between the ropes but definitely improved as she gained more experience. Her work with and against AJ Lee probably helped her improve on the mic and in the ring.

She decided to leave the WWE in 2014 in order to focus more on her growing clothing line and her marriage. She also had to work through a bout of alcoholism.

She felt the itch to return to wrestling over the last few years. With a short run on the independent scene, the WWE eventually came calling again.

She returned to the WWE over the summer to compete in the Mae Young Classic. She seemed more confident and much improved since she left WWE. Not only did she look great, but there seemed to be little ring rust.

There's always been a feeling that she could have accomplished so much more had she stayed a little longer. Here's hoping she sticks around longer than just a cameo.

Shouldn't: Ashley Massaro

Massaro has done few wrestling-related things since leaving in 2008.

When she won the Diva Search in 2005, Massaro had a lot going for her. She was gorgeous, had an alternative look to the barbie dolls in the WWE and seemed likable throughout the Diva Search.

What didn't work in her favour was her lack of wrestling ability. She's mainly remembered for being botch-prone and messy in the ring. And not to mention being a problem backstage due to her romantic relationships with Paul London and Matt Hardy during her WWE run.

Massaro left in 2008 to take care of her sick daughter. Since then, she does nothing wrestling related save for attend conventions and meet-and-greets. She's probably glad to sign an autograph and be remembered.

She didn't really anything positive in the ring and was probably trying to join the WWE to become famous. Case in point: she posed for Playboy and was on a season of Survivor. She didn't last more than three episodes on the reality show.

Maybe she'd be better suited for Total Divas. When certain models join WWE and don't do anything wresting-related afterword, they were clearly trying to use the platform WWE provides to become more famous.

Should: Victoria

Could Victoria return at Evolution?

Victoria came a long way from starting out as one of the Godfather's ladies. She was competent in the ring and even won the Divas title twice. She left in 2009, but unlike Massaro, continued wrestling. She joined TNA and became on of the best wrestlers in the Knockouts' division.

She's always posted pictures on her twitter with former wrestling mates, so she apparently is still on good terms with a lot of current wrestlers. She's also opened a restaurant in Chicago.

There was a rumor that she was denied passage to the backstage at a recent show in the Windy City. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen. She was someone who rose above her initial WWE role to become a pretty good wrestler. She honed her ability in TNA and would be worthy of a role at Evolution.

Is it bad blood on her side or WWE's? We may never know.

Shouldn't: Sable

The current Mrs. Lesnar might show up some time in the future.

Let's not mince words. Sable was an icon of the late '90s and early 2000s. She is a former Women's Champion but it was during a time when women's wrestling wasn't taken as seriously as it is now.

Stephanie McMahon, Sable and even the Kat were champions during this era. Not exactly titans of the mat.

Like Ashley, she posed for Playboy a few times. She was even in a few movies and television shows. She at least tried to wrestle and was passable.

She might make an appearance but Sable is over 50 and happily raising her family. Trying to have her in a match, and even a battle royal might be tough to pull off. She's more known for her posing and ability to fill out a swimsuit rather than being able to pull off an arm drag.

She could be in a backstage segment or a walk by on the ramp like they do with Hall-of-Famers on the Raw after Wrestlemania.

Should: AJ Lee

Fans have always clamored for a return by AJ Lee.

AJ was one of the most, if not the most, popular women's wrestlers during the 'Total Divas' era of wrestling. The 'Women's Revolution' was started by women like her and Paige (and not solely by Stephanie McMahon) who wanted the focus of women's wrestling to be with the wrestling and not the looks of the women.

She left in 2015, just a year after her husband, CM Punk did. Some thought she was pregnant while many thought it was in support of her husband. There were even reports that she had been dealing with a neck injury.

Whatever the case was, she is one of the most beloved women's wrestlers ever. Her quirky character was loosely based on her real life. WWE even wanted her to portray a mental patient, but suffering from bi-polar disorder in real life, she refused to do the storyline. Good for her.

Since she was so good in the ring, it's hard to forget that she was just as good on the mic. Few women have been as able on the microphone as she was. Her 'mini-pipe bomb promo' is often looked upon favorably when looking to the beginning of the WWE's 'Women's Revolution.'

She might be completely satisfied with what she did in her career. She might also have some hard feelings with WWE when they sent CM Punk his termination papers at their wedding.

Whatever is the case, she would be welcomed back with extremely open arms by the fans. Let's not forget that without her, this whole 'Women's Evolution' thing might not have started when it did.

Shouldn't: Stacy Kiebler

The long legs alone shouldn't warrant an appearance at Evolution.

I was originally going to put Kelly Kelly here, but she was announced for the event within the last few days. In essence, both are attractive blondes who were in WWE because they were attractive and not because they can wrestle.

If you want to be in WWE and not wrestle, you better be a great talker (neither were) or a fantastic interviewer/broadcaster like Renee Young or Charly Caruso.

The main difference between Kelly Kelly and Stacy Keibler is that they decided to give K2 a title reign. Both used WWE as a platform to become famous and further their fame.

Unlike Kelly Kelly, however, Keibler has stated that she was embarrassed about her tenure in wrestling and feels it is beneath her. She also has reportedly ignored fans and looks down on them. She would only come back for a big-money offer.

For those reasons alone, she shouldn't be welcomed back. She was never a skilled wrestler and was mainly hired in WCW and WWE because she had long legs.

If someone is embarrassed by your industry, chances are you shouldn't reward them with an appearance. It would be better served going to someone who actually respects the business.
