WWE legend tipped for Evolution appearance following recent return after 31 years

A WWE legend is tipped for a possible appearance at Evolution on July 13 in Atlanta, Georgia. The historic star recently returned after 31 years at Saturday Night's Main Event last month in Tampa, Florida.

Leilani Kai is a one-time WWE Women's Champion, making history at WrestleMania 1 by defending her title against Wendi Richter. Before her surprise cameo at SNME, Kai's last appearance was at WrestleMania X in 1994.

Natalya spoke about her interaction with the wrestling legend backstage in Tampa, telling Busted Open Radio that she's hoping to see her at Evolution 2. The Queen of Harts was just so happy for Kai, who always wanted to contribute to the business.

"I saw Leilani Kai at Saturday Night's Main Event in Tampa last month, and she was so excited. She was carrying around her championship, and she just felt like she was one of the girls again. I just love that about WWE. She said to me, she goes, 'I haven't felt this way in years.' And I think she had a conversation with Triple H, and she was just like on cloud nine. She was excited about contributing, and he made her feel like she mattered. And she does matter, and you know, I hope to see her at Evolution," Natalya said.
