Charlotte Flair addresses possibility of WWE Evolution returning

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Charlotte Flair is looking forward to “creating more magic” at WWE Evolution if the return of the event comes to fruition.

Though not officially announced yet, the all-women’s PLE is expected to make its return this summer. The rumored date for the show is Saturday, July 5 from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The inaugural Evolution event took place in 2018 with a Last Woman Standing match between Charlotte and Becky Lynch being one of the top bouts on the card. Charlotte told the Daily Mail that it’s one of her favorite matches of her career.

“One of my favorite matches is from the first Evolution. Becky Lynch, Last Woman Standing. One of my top three favorite matches,” Charlotte said. “There’s always rumors that it’s happening, so until it happens, I can’t say yet because we don’t know. Y’all are the ones with the scoop!”

Charlotte thinks bringing back Evolution is a great idea, but she believes the goal for the women’s division is still having more main events and storylines on all WWE shows.

“No, I mean, I think it’d be great if we have it,” she told the Daily Mail. “But I still think the goal is to have more main events and more storylines and so on. The magic that I created on the first one, if it comes to fruition, I look forward to creating more magic on Evolution 2.”

When Evolution happens, Charlotte could be defending championship gold. She won the 2025 women’s Royal Rumble match and is set to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41 later this month.

WWE Evolution 2: Everything we know right now

Posted on by Jake Skudder

In 2018, WWE made history with Evolution, its first all-women’s pay-per-view event. The show featured top female talent and was hailed by the company as a significant step forward for women’s wrestling. Now, after years of anticipation, reports from the likes of WrestleVotes indicate that WWE is planning to bring back this landmark event with Evolution 2. Here’s everything we know so far.​

WWE Evolution 2 Rumored Date and Venue

According to multiple sources including WrestleVotes and PWN, WWE is in the preliminary stages of organizing Evolution 2. The event is tentatively scheduled for July 5, 2025, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. While these plans are still subject to change, the current trajectory points toward a summer showcase for the company’s female superstars.

Announcement Timeline Rumors

Fans awaiting confirmation likely won’t have to wait much longer. An official announcement regarding Evolution 2 is expected to be made shortly before WrestleMania 41, which is set for April 19 and 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

WWE Evolution 2 Potential Matches

While an official announcement is still not expected in the immediate future, there are of course rumblings regarding some of the potential matches that the company could put on for Evolution 2. The first Evolution back in 2018 featured the following:

  • Raw Women’s Championship Match – Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Nikki Bella
  • SmackDown Women’s Championship Last Woman Standing Match – Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
  • NXT Women’s Championship Match – Kairi Sane (c) vs. Shayna Baszler
  • 2018 Mae Young Classic Final – Io Shirai vs. Toni Storm
  • Trish Stratus & Lita vs. Mickie James & Alicia Fox (with Alexa Bliss in their corner)
  • Natalya, Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. The Riott Squad
  • Battle Royal – Winner receives future Women’s Championship Match

It’s very likely that WWE will want to have a WWE Women’s and Women’s World Championship match on the show at the very least, and with the likes of Stephanie Vaquer leading the line for NXT women she will also likely be on the card.

We will update this page as and when we hear more regarding the WWE Evolution 2 event.

WWE bringing back all-women’s Evolution PLE this summer

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Nearly seven years after the show first took place, WWE is reportedly bringing back its all-women’s Evolution PLE.

WrestleVotes confirmed today that WWE is planning for Evolution to return this summer. Cory Hays of PWNexus first reported on the news earlier this month, saying that the PLE was tentatively planned for Saturday, July 5 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Dave Meltzer also confirmed that WWE had that venue booked with Evolution being the tentative plan.

“After speaking with sources, we can confirm WWE is set to bring back the highly anticipated ‘Evolution’ PLE this summer,” WrestleVotes wrote. “The return of the all-women’s event is expected to be officially announced before WrestleMania.”

The first WWE Evolution was held in Long Island, New York in October 2018. Though it was well-received by fans, the pay-per-view did not become an annual event. Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella and Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair were among the matches that took place, with the card also featuring returning legends from past eras of the women’s division.

When Evolution 2018 happened, women were not allowed to wrestle at WWE’s shows in Saudi Arabia, so it was speculated that — in part — the PPV was a response to the criticism WWE was receiving. Saudi Arabia then hosted its first WWE women’s match in 2019.

Members of the WWE roster have frequently called for the return of Evolution in the years since the first event.

Bayley thinks time is right for another WWE Evolution event

Bayley believes now is the right time for WWE to hold another all-women’s event.

In October 2018, WWE Evolution — the company’s first all-women’s pay-per-view — took place from Long Island, New York. WWE has never followed up with Evolution 2, but Bayley believes it’s something the company should do now that it has entered into a new creative era.

Cody Rhodes asked Bayley about her interest in another Evolution event while interviewing her on the first episode of “What Do You Wanna Talk About?,” a new WWE YouTube series that’s sponsored by Wheatley American Vodka.

“Yes. Why not? Like we were just saying, there’s so many women,” Bayley responded. “So the thing about the first one was we had so many girls from NXT for one, which they got to showcase on a bigger stage. But they had so many women from the past. It’s kind of like the first few [women’s Royal] Rumbles, a lot of women from the past because we didn’t have enough women to fill up these matches. But like, now we do. And I think it would be so cool to give everybody on Raw and everybody on SmackDown a part of that show, Evolution 2.

“You can bring girls in from NXT. You can bring girls in — we just saw Jordynne Grace on NXT. TNA girls, whatever that connection is there, we can bring different girls in. You can bring someone in from the past, like if they’re up for it, to do a little something. But we have such a stacked roster right now where it’s like, we can hold down a show on our own, another PLE on our own. And it’s been so many years where it’s not like it’s something we have to do every year where we’re kind of like, ‘All right. We’ve seen it enough times,’ but I think it’s time because it is a different era compared to back then.”

Bayley was part of the card for the first Evolution PPV, teaming with Sasha Banks & Natalya to defeat The Riott Squad in a six-woman tag match. She told Rhodes that it’s one of her favorite matches that she’s ever had.

Rhodes said he thinks another Evolution will happen and it feels like it should happen soon.

Bayley — the current WWE Women’s Champion — is set to defend her title against Nia Jax at SummerSlam on Saturday, August 3.
