Ranking every WWE pay-per-view in 2018 from worst to best

#1 Evolution

One of the most feel-good WWE shows of all time.

Most WWE pay-per-views had at least one bad moment or match in them, no matter how good they were. SummerSlam had Strowman vs Owens, TLC had Rollins vs Ambrose and Survivor Series had The Bar vs AOP, but Evolution had none. Every match on this card delivered. Whether it was for nostalgia value, making good use of talent, building to the future or it was just an outright excellent match, all seven matches served a purpose. When Evolution was announced, there were doubts on whether WWE would be able to book a good pay-per-view only with the women. On October 28th of last year, they squashed all the doubts with an excellent effort.

Trish Stratus and Lita reunited for a fun tag team victory, while we saw an entertaining battle royal which felt like an extension to January's all-female Rumble match. Toni Storm vs Io Shirai in the Mae Young Classic Final and Kairi Sane vs Shayna Baszler for NXT Women's Championship were both excellent, showing the rich variety of female talent WWE has with them. The six-woman tag team match between the Riott Squad and the team of Natalya, Bayley and Sasha Banks seemed to be a Raw-standard bout, but they took it up a notch with a great effort. Everything felt bigger.

Ronda Rousey defeated Nikki Bella in a perfectly fine main event, but the show was absolutely stolen by Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. The two contested in a near-perfect Last Woman Standing match for the Smackdown Women's Championship, it was likely WWE's best main roster match in 2018. The Man survived a hellacious bout to stand victorious alongside Rousey at the pinnacle of women's wrestling, and WWE as a whole. This show was a celebration of women's wrestling in a history-making way and was the next great step in the rise of the WWE's female division. Amidst the Crown Jewel controversy, Evolution was the light that shone brightly. It truly was the best WWE main roster show of 2018.
