WWE's historic All-Women's PPV, Evolution has been moved to the retired list on the company's official website under the WWE Network tab. You can see a screenshot of it below:

The first edition of the PPV took place last year in October and it was built around Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Nikki Bella. The former UFC Superstar was the focal point in the build-up to the show and the PPV ended up being a success partly due to Rowdy's mainstream pull as well as the in-ring action that was portrayed throughout the show.

WWE, however, have chosen not to have the second instalment of the PPV this year due to Rousey's absence.

As revealed by Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue, WWE is taking the backseat when it comes to women's wrestling without Evolution in the picture.

While the PPV has been retired, for now, the company can always revive it for a future date. The return of Ronda Rousey can help resurrect the PPV next year, but as of this writing, the company seems to have moved on from the event.
