What will happen at WWE's first ever all women pay per view?
While Alexa Bliss versus Trish Stratus has already been announced, the rest of the card hasn't been filled out yet, this is leading fans to think about the dream matches WWE could come up with. Not only that, fans are also wondering which women will come out victors in the end, and which ones will suffer crushing defeats.
No matter how you choose to look at it, Evolution could be one of the greatest pay per views of the year, and there are several reasons for that. Here is what the WWE Universe needs to know about the ground breaking pay per view.
Trending
As always, please keep in mind that these are just rumors, and are not absolute truths at this point in time. Maybe they turn out to be true, and maybe they don't, but the point of this is to give the WWE Universe an idea of what to expect when the pay per view goes live. In the end, enjoy and be sure to let us know if we missed anything in the comments below!
#10 WWE reaching out to AJ Lee
According to an article from Ringreport.com, WWE contacted AJ Lee months ago about making a comeback at the Evolution pay per view. In fact, some reports are even implying that Vince McMahon reached out to the former Diva's champion personally to try to woo her into coming back.
Interestingly enough, her husband CM Punk has reportedly turned down an offer to appear at the All In pay per view, and was even asked by Cody Rhodes himself. Unfortunately for AJ Lee and her fans, Punk's negative relationship with WWE could impact talks greatly between the two parties. The offer will most likely be turned down.
#9 Asuka heel turn
Another interesting rumor making the rounds right now is that Asuka will turn heel soon, this could lead to a big match at the Evolution pay per view. Unfortunately for the WWE Universe, the original rumors of her facing Lita in a match were debunked, but there is still a very high possibility of her at least competing.
According to Wrestling Observer, WWE wants to turn Asuka heel moving forward in order to make her a bigger deal in the SmackDown Live Women's division. While it's not known if this will happen before, during, or after the Evolution pay per view, Asuka turning on an ally at the big event could set the stage for a monstrous heel turn.
Think about it! If WWE can have Asuka attack someone the WWE Universe cares about, it would be a great way to turn Asuka heel. In fact, WWE could even have Asuka make a surprise appearance after a big title match, and attack both contenders out of nowhere!
Not only would that be a great way to turn Asuka into a calculating and maniacal heel, it also allows the WWE Universe to get more invested in the babyfaces, this would be a very lucrative position for whoever gets the role. In the end, its all fantasy booking at this point, but if the rumor is true, then expect Asuka to make a big impact very soon!
#8 Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler versus Sasha Banks and Bayley
Ronda Rousey is already rumored for a pretty big title fight at Evolution, but there is also a rumor going around that Rousey will be part of an even bigger match as well. In fact, the match could even be the starting point for the highly coveted four horsewomen of WWE versus the four horsewomen of UFC.
According to Joe Peisich on a recent episode of Barn Burner Radio's fired up, the WWE is reportedly floating around the idea of doing Bayley and Sasha Banks versus Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. He also mentions that the WWE might make it the main event of the all women pay per view. This would be a huge deal for all involved.
In the end, the rumor has a lot of problems to overcome, especially since Baszler hasn't been introduced on the main roster yet, but also due to a rumor that will be discussed later. It just doesn't seem like a viable option.
#7 Asuka versus Lita not happening
A picture has floated around on twitter that seems to show a match graphic of Asuka versus Lita at the Evolution pay per view. While the image received a lot of attention and had fans salivating at the thought of such a match taking place, it appears that the picture is fake and WWE has no plan to do anything in that direction.
According to prowrestling.com - on Monday, a photo began circulating online which claimed to be a spoiled image of WWE advertising Asuka vs Lita at the upcoming WWE Evolution PPV. The image released is a fake, and at the moment, no WWE Evolution plans have been announced for Asuka or Lita.
Unfortunately for the WWE Universe, this means that there will be no dream match between The Empress of Tomorrow and one of the most popular Women's champions of The Attitude Era. However, with the rumor of Asuka's upcoming heel turn in mind, its very possible that WWE still does something interesting with Asuka at the pay per view.
#6 Nikki Cross at Evolution?
According to Cagesideseats.com's Rumor roundup, WWE is considering bringing Nikki Cross up to the main roster. Note that she was on stage for the Evolution pay per view announcement in July. Of course it's not a definite thing yet, but the rumor at least gives fans something to hope for.
It seems likely that she would be reunited with SAnitY on SmackDown Live, and may also be inserted into a feud with a member of the SmackDown Live Women's division. Interestingly enough, there are several options for WWE if that is the case. It could set the stage for several dream matches the fans will enjoy!
#5 Stephanie McMahon competing
Stephanie McMahon hasn't stepped into the ring for competition since her mixed tag team match at WrestleMania 34, but her comments during a Sky Sports interview has some wondering if she will step into the ring at the Evolution pay per view. If she does step into the ring however, there is a plethora of opponents who could take her on.
In fact, WWE could do anything from Stephanie McMahon versus AJ Lee, to McMahon versus Ronda Rousey, and it would be must see television. Not only that, if they were to do the title match between Rousey and McMahon, it would be a cool bookend to the feud, and even get the mainstream talking about Rousey again!
In the end, it might be wishful thinking to want to see McMahon in the ring again, but she did say during the interview that if the situation was right, she would return for another match. At least that means she is open to the idea of being in the ring at the once in a lifetime pay per view.
#4 More legends to come!
According to to the Twitter account, Ticketdrew , there could be a few legends as well as the Bella twins at the upcoming Evolution pay per view. This means that Alexa Bliss versus Trish Stratus might not be the only dream match seen.
In fact, there could be two or three dream matches for fans to enjoy if AJ Lee comes out of retirement, and WWE nabs one more legend.
In the end, WWE has a lot of options for dream matches, and while it's already known that Lita versus Asuka won't be happening, there is still a bunch of other matches WWE could go with. Of course it will all be subjective to fan opinion on superstars of the past, but AJ Lee versus Bayley, and Beth Phoenix versus Nia Jax both seem like cool ideas they could do.
#3 Women's tag team titles
Rumors have been swirling for months about women finally getting their own set of tag team belts, and while the company has hinted at doing it multiple times, they are yet to pull the trigger on the idea. Unfortunately for fans of the idea, it doesn't appear like it will happen at Evolution.
In fact, Stephanie McMahon even outright stated in an interview with Sky Sports that the tag team titles wouldn't be debuted at Evolution. However, McMahon did say that it was an idea that they were working towards, and it would probably happen in the future!
#2 Four title matches!
According to a report by Wrestlinginc.com about Evolution, there will actually be 4 title matches at WWE's Evolution in October - The WWE NXT Women's Title, the NXT UK Women's Title, the RAW Women's Title, and the SmackDown Women's Title.
Kari Sane, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair will all be defending their titles at the event, and the first ever NXT UK Women's champion will be crowned as well.
In the end, it's a pretty good selling point to have four title matches on one card, and it will be interesting to see how that all plays out so close to Hell in a Cell.
#1 Main event rumors
According to Dave Meltzer from The Wrestling Observer, the current plan is for former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey to take on Nikki Bella in the main event of the show. A Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella match might seem unusual, but they are the biggest female stars in WWE, and will garner WWE the most publicity for Evolution.
Interestingly enough, WWE has already showed the Bella twins twice on television in the last few weeks. It could be WWE's way of slowly sewing the seeds for possible match-ups. The only problem with this rumor is that they don't have much time to flesh out the storyline for the match, but WWE could always go for a shock factor if needed.
