5 Things that can happen at first-ever all women's PPV

On the July 23rd edition of Monday Night Raw, Stephanie McMahon took to the ring as the announced the first-ever all women's pay-per-view event for October. It will go by the name Evolution, symbolising the evolution of the women's division in the WWE.

The entire roster was on the ramp and they were predictably and genuinely excited for this next step in the ascent of females in a male-dominated world. This year alone, we saw the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber and both proved to be rousing successes.

Everybody involved will want to make this idea work and to do that, they need to acknowledge the flaws in the current state of the women's division. SmackDown has such amazing talent in their female division with the likes of Charlotte Flair, Asuka and Becky Lynch.

However, the title is currently being held by Carmella. The quality of title matches and credibility of various roster members have gone down the toilet. WWE will need to have all guns blazing for the all women's pay-per-view. She may be a great character but right now, the Evolution should be based on good wrestling.

So far, we know that all four women's singles Championships will be on the line along with the final of the Mae Young Classic. They must make all of them good. We can be guaranteed to receive a plethora of historic and emotional moments over the course of the next three months as WWE figure out how to book this unique extravaganza. It has to be a success and for that, it is so important for them to make things right in the current division.

While Alexa Bliss is still a good option (she has to go through Ronda Rousey first), WWE cannot have Carmella as the SmackDown Women's Champion going into WWE Evolution. They must pick the right moments that would have an effect on the viewers and maybe bring some new appreciation for the women of WWE.

Here are five moments or matches we could see in New York at the end of October, all of them are entirely realistic and possible.

#5 Asuka redeems herself in a big way

Asuka's credibility has suffered a major hit.

At WrestleMania, Asuka lost to Charlotte Flair and her incredible unbeaten streak had come to an end. The Empress Of Tomorrow was on a two-and-a-half year winning streak before she tapped out at the 'Grandest Stage Of Them All'.

This seemed to be a weight lifted off WWE Creative's shoulders as Asuka matches would not be as predictable as they once were. They would not be forced to have her win all the time. They proceeded to take liberties with it as Asuka challenged and lost twice to Carmella in dodgy circumstances. This was a rather sharp decline for the Japanese Killer.

Asuka has been booked to look so dumb for months now, ever since she started feuding with the Smackdown Women's Champion. This could not be further from what she was in NXT, an all-conquering fighting champion who just wouldn't lose. It is sad. Asuka needs a heavy rebuilding process, she is on the brink of becoming unsalvageable.

This is similar to the decline of Bayley last year but in this case, it should be much easier to book Asuka. Nobody even remembers that she won the Royal Rumble match this year. Asuka should be built back up in time for WWE Evolution and hopefully, the credibility she lost will get restored.

The former NXT Women's Champion could have a match for the SmackDown Women's Championship, a match against other Blue brand roster members, or one against someone from Raw or even NXT. Whatever she does, it should end in a dominant victory for one of the crispest, reliable and marketable Superstars in the WWE's women's division.

Perhaps an NXT rematch against Ember Moon would not be such a bad idea for the show, as it would need all the quality it can get. Long story short, Asuka is damaged goods right now and WWE Evolution would be the perfect time for her to redeem herself from those terrible early summer months against Carmella.

#4 Alexa Bliss and Mickie James vs Trish Stratus and Lita

Alexa Bliss could spend time in the ring with two legends.

Currently, Alexa Bliss is the Raw Women's Champion. However, it does not look like she will be on top for much longer as she is set to face "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey in a title-defending match at SummerSlam. That encounter should be a straightforward match ending with Bliss getting her much-required comeuppance. She and Mickie James have been effective heel partners for close to six months, even though we still don't know why Mickie turned heel in the first place. They will still be afforded a good spot at WWE Evolution.

WWE Hall Of Famers, Trish Stratus and Lita have been confirmed to appear at the pay-per-view and it could well be in a match. The build-up could be as simple as Bliss and James saying that they are the best female wrestlers of all-time before the two legends object to that claim. It is an easy match to book and both Trish and Lita are still in condition to go in the ring every once in a while. They both last appeared at the Women's Royal Rumble as the first and last surprise entrants of the match.

Mickie James does have a history with both of them, Trish in particular. Their face-off at Royal Rumble was an underrated moment in the match. Alexa Bliss would also do well with the rub of competing in tag team action against two of the greatest WWE female wrestlers of this millennium at the very least. She did dine with them for an episode of Table For 3.

Bliss, along with Asuka, is the best WWE female Superstar outside of the Four Horsewomen which means that she should often be kept occupied in stories. This one would give us the grand moment of seeing two absolute legends possibly pass the torch to the present of the WWE's female scene.

#3 Shayna Baszler loses the NXT Women's Championship

The second most dominant NXT Women's Champion in history.

Shayna Baszler is a machine. She is such a daunting prospect and incredibly tough in the ring. The former UFC Horsewoman can cut a really great promo, before ripping your head out. She has been a danger ever since she debuted on NXT late last year. By WrestleMania weekend, Baszler captured the NXT Women's Championship and has been dominant ever since. She is possibly second only to Asuka in that respect. Recent impressive victories over Nikki Cross and Toni Storm vouch for the Queen Of Spades.

Baszler is set to defend her title at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV against Kairi Sane, who won a magnificent triple threat against Cross and Candice LeRae. The 2017 Mae Young Classic winner could possibly upset Baszler but we could wait until October for the title change. This pay-per-view will need to be filled with grand matches and moments. Moments will not come much bigger than Shayna Baszler losing her title to an underdog opponent.

We could see her drop the title in another rematch with the Pirate Princess or against Candice LeRae. She would be a popular choice as she is incredibly likeable both inside and outside the ring. It would also be a great story, seeing her put the entire drama featuring her husband behind her. We could even possibly see husband-wife dual-champions if Johnny Gargano can pull out the win against Aleister Black and Tomasso Ciampa in Brooklyn. Whoever is chosen to dethrone the Queen Of Spades, it would be extra special to see it happen on such a monumental night.

#2 Best friends collide for the Championship

These two are possibly the best female wrestlers on the main roster.

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are the best of friends in real life. Their camaraderie is evident on Smackdown as they became on-screen best friends again when Charlotte turned face and moved to the Blue brand. The pair has faced each other in singles matches on TV but they have not had a significant story against each other since the beginning of 2016. Becky and Charlotte went one-on-one for the now-defunct Divas Championship at Royal Rumble 2016. That match was really good and gave the Irish Lass-Kicker a whole bunch of new supporters. It was possibly the greatest match in the history of the butterfly belt, not that it means much anyway.

Becky Lynch has not had any proper feud for over a year now, as she is set to challenge Carmella for the SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam. She absolutely should win there, as Carmella should not still be the champion heading into WWE Evolution. Charlotte is set to be cleared for in-ring competition by next week and will likely sink her teeth into a story shortly after SummerSlam. Hopefully, she is Becky's first feud as the champion of Smackdown after vanquishing Carmella.

It would be lovely to see two best friends, both supremely talented, go at it against each other in a traditional wrestling match in a big match feel, with actual stakes on the line. It has been a really long time coming, Charlotte and Becky need to start feuding again. Honestly, this match could go in several different directions including a championship win for the Queen, or a Becky Lynch heel-turn. If WWE decides to go with this match for this show, it will indeed be one of the most exciting matches they will have to offer.

#1 Crowning the first ever Women's Tag Team Champions

We could see a new set of titles debut in the WWE.

It was widely speculated that Stephanie McMahon's announcement on Raw would also feature the debut of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. While not yet confirmed, it is likely that we will see these titles make their way to our screens. If the reported idea of it being defended across Raw, SmackDown, NXT and NXT UK is true, this could well be an interesting concept.

There are a handful of teams who could feasibly vie for the belts on the WWE main roster. If we do see a tournament, prepare for some thrown-together teams. The likes of the Riott Squad, the IIconics, Absolution and the apparently freshly-reunited Bayley and Sasha Banks could all claim to get the first shot at these titles.

If indeed we do see them introduced, I would not be surprised to see the first championship match to be between Sasha and Bayley, and the IIconics. It could be set up perfectly. On Raw, we got another twist in this never-ending saga between the best friends/bitter enemies as they teamed up and got along fairly well with each other.

It looks like we are not getting that SummerSlam match between the two, which is a shame. Perhaps WWE is waiting for the inception of these titles before pulling the trigger on the feud between Sasha and Bayley.

Peyton Royce and Billie Kay would be great Women's Tag Team Champions as they are inseparable and are great together. We would also see lots of new teams being introduced. Maybe we could get a Bella Twins return as well. Floating across the sea of different WWE brands would be a creative way to give the belts some uniqueness. The possibilities are endless if WWE books it right. The first-ever all women's pay-per-view will be the best place to debut the female tag titles if they are ever going to do it.

WWE Evolution is certainly going to be remembered as a historic night in women's wrestling and these five moments would make the show an even better one.
