WWE Evolution was a historic show, it allowed the women to take center stage and prove that they were worthy of this kind of an opportunity and by all accounts, this was a massive success.
Some of the biggest names from the past few decades returned to the company to be part of the show, including Trish Stratus, Lita, Molly Holly, Ivory, and Alundra Blayze.
These women managed to integrate themselves into the Battle Royal, which saw a definite split between the future and the past. Stratus and James also picked up a huge win over Alicia Fox and Mickie James, whilst The Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships were retained, but Shayna Baszler walked out as the new NXT Women's Champion.
Whilst the results are something that have been shared around social media over the past few days, there are a number of interesting points that were probably missed by the WWE Universe.
#5 Mike Chioda helps Becky Lynch with a chair
Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair collided in one of the most brutal Women's matches in WWE history as both stars attempted to force the other to stay down for a 10-count.
Many of the WWE Universe believed that Flair had it won when she locked in the Figure 8 through a ladder on Becky Lynch. The Women's Champion knew that she had to get out of this submission by using a chair, but the issue was that the chair was too far away, so referee Mike Chioda stepped in and slid the chair over to Lynch in full view of the camera.
Lynch was then able to use it to get out of the move, but many of the WWE Universe spotted that the referee could have been playing favorites. Interestingly, this wasn't the only time he helped Lynch throughout the match.
#4 The Evolution Crowd
WWE announced a few days ahead of the first ever Women's Pay-per-view that the show at the Nassau Coliseum was now sold out. This was a huge announcement for the women since WWE was struggling to shift many of the tickets at one point.
Interestingly though, there are a number of images that have popped upon Social Media that debate WWE's claim. The image below was taken as part of the opening tag team match between Trish Stratus, Lita, Alicia Fox, and Mickie James and shows a lot of empty seats.
Many believe that this is the reason that WWE dimmed the lighting throughout the show so that they could hide the fact that the arena wasn't actually as full as they would have liked. Especially since there were a number of seats already taken up by the relatives of the women who were on the card.
#3 Mike Chioda helps Becky and Charlotte
It has already been noted that referee Mike Chioda helped Lynch to fight out of a Figure 8 spot through a ladder, but many fans didn't notice that he also helped Lynch when she delivered a leg drop through the Spanish Announce Table.
Lynch climbed the ladder before Chioda was seen holding the item in place with both his hand and his foot to ensure that it didn't move and that Lynch didn't slip on her way down.
As seen from the image above, the referee wasn't even discreet about holding onto the ladder, since he can be seen fully holding it with his arm and leg. The spot obviously went to plan and this table did go through first time, so it appears that even though Chioda wasn't the most discreet official, he was effective.
#2. Michael Cole texting throughout the Women's Championship match
Michael Cole was the only male who was part of WWE Evolution because WWE needed a strong presence at the announce table. Interestingly though, it appears that Cole wasn't all that interested in the show since he was spotted texting throughout a number of matches.
Cole was seen to be looking at his phone rather than calling the action in both the Mae Young Classic match and even more shockingly, as part of the main event. The below image clearly shows Brie Bella on the outside during the Women's Championship match between Ronda Rousey and Nikki Bella, and Michael Cole on his phone not paying any attention to the action in front of him.
Many members of the WWE Universe have seen this as disrespectful since they feel it was through boredom and he didn't even try to hide that he was doing it.
#1 Becky Lynch needs help to ensure she doesn't fall off the apron
It's safe to say that Becky Lynch only retained her SmackDown Women's Championship on Sunday night because of referee Mike Chioda. Lynch needed his help on numerous occasions in the match and he more than stepped up.
Chioda was seen helping Lynch with a chair, holding a ladder for her and perhaps the best part of the match was when Lynch delivered the powerbomb through the table she was being held on the apron by the official.
This was because the momentum of the move may have pulled her from the apron or she could have dropped Charlotte at any time before she should have, so Chioda took hold of her wrestling attire until she had delivered the move and ensured that the finish of the match went to plan.
