Grading every WWE PPV of the year 2018 (Part 3)

#2 Evolution

A great first-time

WWE gave fans the first ever all-women PPV in 2018. For many, Evolution was a great success.

Evolution marked the first ever Last Woman Standing match between Flair and Lynch for SmackDown Women's Championship. Rousey defended her title against Nikki Bella. In another big match, Trish Stratus and Lita teamed with each other against Mickie James and Alicia Fox.

Kairi Sane waged war with Shayna Baszler for the NXT Women's Championship. The final match of Mae Young Classic Season 2 between Io Shirai and Toni Storm took place at the event. A 20 women battle royal comprising women from both past and present was held at the historical show.

Positives:

The quality of almost all the matches was good. The NXT Women'sTitle Match, the Mae Young Classic final and the SmackDown Women's Championship match were standouts from the rest. The battle royal was good with a blend of nostalgia in it.

A six-woman tag team match between Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Natalya and The Riott Squad was held at the event and was decent.

Negatives

One of the most over women of current era Alexa Bliss missed this PPV due to injury. She was replaced by Alicia Fox in the match. It hampered the credibility of their team. For many fans, giving the main event spot to Rousey and Bella was a big let down. The rumoured Women's Tag Team Titles were not announced at the show.

Grade: 9/10
