In case you didn’t know…
After a weekend of speculation, WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon opened Raw by announcing WWE Evolution, the first ever all-women’s exclusive pay-per-view event taking place on Sunday, October 28th from NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York.
The event has been confirmed for live streaming from WWE Network, too, and will feature Women’s Championship Matches from Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT and NXT UK, as well as the final of the Mae Young Classic 2018.
The heart of the matter
Well, Stephanie McMahon said in her announcement that no less than 50 women will appear during the pay-per-view, but WWE posted more details on the talent - and two huge names will be returning for the event.
WWE.com states:
Every woman on the roster will be on hand, including Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, Carmella, Nia Jax and Asuka, as well as WWE Hall of Famers and Legends Trish Stratus, Lita and many more.
Needless to say, this will be huge - but with the addition of three of WWE's most influential and legendary women's wrestlers of all time, Evolution is one not to be missed.
It's not yet known if Lita, Trish Stratus or Beth Phoenix will compete in the ring, but you'd have to think they won't be the only returning Superstars either.
This, coupled with the title defences - including the defence of the WWE NXT UK Women's Championship, a belt we haven't yet seen - has already built this event up to be monumental!
What’s next?
Stay tuned for more details on Evolution!
Catch the event live on WWE Network on Sunday, October 28th.
