WWE women are unhappy with Evolution plans - Reports

WWE is gearing up for the second installment of the all-women PLE, Evolution. The event, first held in 2018, is making a comeback on July 13 in Atlanta, Georgia. It is an opportunity for the women's locker room to showcase its talent on an exclusive PLE stage, but it appears that everything isn't going as planned.

While the PLE has announced a few matches, including the one for the Women's World Championship, there has been reported dissatisfaction with the planning and scheduling of the event so far.

A fan asked Fightful Wrestling's Sean Ross Sapp about whether any information is available about the ticket sales of Evolution 2, and where the blame would lie if the show underperforms. He mentioned that the women in the company he talked to weren't exactly "thrilled" by the planning.

“So a lot of the women that I was speaking to felt... a lot of them felt like it was set up. One, it was put in against All In weekend, across the street from a Beyoncé concert, during MLB All-Star weekend, when a lot of the hotels were going to be bought up in the area. They weren’t necessarily thrilled with that, but it was hastily produced,” Sapp said. [From 01:05:07 to 01:05:35]

Check out the video below:

Evolution 2 takes place the same weekend as AEW's All In: Texas Pay-Per-View, which is scheduled for a day earlier on July 12. Apart from that, Beyoncé will continue her Cowboy Carter Tour with shows in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium from July 10 to July 14. Then there is the MLB All-Star weekend, with Atlanta hosting the game on July 15.

Thus, WWE's PLE will face strong competition over the weekend, and the feeling is that the event has been rushed. With Triple H's booking under scrutiny recently, it remains to be seen how well the PLE performs in terms of sales and actual in-ring action.
