WWE Backstage (June 9th, 2020) - 6 Takeaways from this week's show

#5 Looking back at WWE Evolution

The first-ever women's PPV was a hot topic on WWE Backstage this week

The panelists also looked back at the only female PPV in WWE's history, Evolution. Ember Moon claimed: "The one thing that I can really take back is how together we were as a locker room, as a unit, as women...it's the most positive experience I've had being in a locker room. It's one of the highlights of my career."

Paige felt that "The energy was so positive and so happy. It was just a really good atmosphere to be a part of. All the girls absolutely killed it." The commentary panel for the show included Young and Phoenix. The Glamazon said that "it was one of my maiden voyages in the commentary seat" and that she wanted to "throw out the notes and just enjoy it". The PPV reminded her of "days working the independent scene and being lucky if one or two women were there. It was a great melting-pot moment of generations."

The main event for the show was Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella for the RAW Women's Championship. Bella relived the history-making moment, claiming that Mr. McMahon called her, "Vince told me that he really wants me to have a match against Ronda Rousey for the main event...this is the one thing in my career that puts the icing on the cake." She further mentioned that she had to tell herself that "you are the most amazing fighter ever" in order to "put myself in the mindset that I was Goliath and that she was David".

Nikki Bella concluded by saying that: "[The event] Very emotional for all of us because it was such a long fight for women. Every match that night was magical. The crowd hung on to every little thing we gave them. It was like when you can make magic like that in the ring and paint a beautiful painting."
