For the first time in the company's history, WWE will present an All Women's Pay Per View event this Sunday entitled WWE Evolution. The event will take place live from the Nassau Coliseum in New York.
While the card isn't huge and the build-up hasn't been as great as fans have wanted, Evolution is sure to be an amazing show and spectacle. The headliner matches will be Becky Lynch defending the SmackDown Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing Match. On the RAW side, Ronda Rousey will defend the RAW Women's Championship against Nikki Bella in a feud that has quickly turned personal.
Also on the card, the NXT Women's Title will be defended as Shayna Baszler will challenge Kairi Sane. We will also see a couple of tag team matches as Hall of Famers Trish Stratus and Lita will team up to take on Alexa Bliss and Mickie James, as well as Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Natalya, will take on the Riott Squad.
There will also be a Women's Battle Royal with women from RAW, SmackDown, NXT, and some returning familiar names will duke it out. There are already 21 participants confirmed for the Battle Royal, and you can expect that a few more names will be announced and some surprise participants will make an appearance in this one.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
With that being said, here are three things possible for WWE Evolution. Be sure to leave your thoughts and predictions in the comments below, and be sure to follow Sportskeeda for the latest breaking news and rumors as WWE Evolution gets closer.
#3 Mickie James will turn on Alexa Bliss or Alicia Fox
What was originally supposed to be a single's match between Alexa Bliss and Trish Stratus has turned into a tag team match, as now the team of Alexa Bliss and Mickie James will take on the team of Trish Stratus and Lita.
Bliss is dealing with an injury, which is why the match was turned into a tag team match, and after what happened this past Monday on RAW, there is no guarantee that she will even make it to the tag match.
Stratus and Lita were being interviewed backstage when Alicia Fox interrupted, which led to a brawl between Fox, James, Stratus and Lita. There was no sign of Bliss at all, which may indicate she may not be in the match on Sunday. If that is the case, Fox certainly can take her spot and tag with James, but either way, I see Mickie turning face and raising hands with the faces after the match.
James is a legend and she has not been used well since returning in early 2017. She turned face for a while after initially returning as a heel, but for no reason, she once turned heel and aligned with Bliss. In a show that will most likely feed off of nostalgia, I see Mickie turning on either Bliss or Fox, depending on who she tags with, and raising the hands of Trish and Lita after taking the pinfall loss in the match.
A face Mickie James would be nice and refreshing for the RAW Women's Divison, and seeing her and Trish on the same side for possibly the final time will make the old school fans happy.
#2 Becky Lynch will defeat Charlotte Flair once and for all
Ever since she turned heel at SummerSlam this past August, Becky Lynch has arguably been the hottest act on the entire WWE roster, and her and Charlotte Flair have had the feud of the year thus far. This Sunday at Evolution, the rivalry comes to a fever pitch as the two will face off in a Last Woman Standing Match.
This match can honestly go either way since if Charlotte Flair wins the title here there would almost certainly be another match between the two, and that would border on dragging this feud on for too long, much like Charlotte and Sasha Banks' feud a few years ago. If Becky retains then the question becomes who would she face next? There is no other face woman on the SmackDown roster that has been built up well enough to challenge for the belt. Although if a SmackDown woman wins the Battle Royal that is also on the show, then that could be Lynch's next challenger. With that being said, I see Becky retaining here, as a Last Woman Standing Match favors the heel.
Lynch does not have to pin or submit Charlotte here, so she can win in a way that is considered fluky. In that case, both women come out looking strong and this chapter of their feud is finished once and for all. I see this match ending almost the same way their match on SmackDown a few weeks ago did. I see Charlotte going for the spear against something like a barricade or stage, but Becky moves out of the way at the last minute and Charlotte crash and burns and as a result is not able to get up before the count of ten.
#1 Ronda Rousey will decimate Nikki Bella
In what will most likely be the main event, as both women have mainstream publicity, Nikki Bella will take on Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women's Championship. In a feud that saw the Bella Twins and Rousey teaming with each other on multiple occasions, this feud has quickly become personal as Rousey brought up Nikki's relationship with John Cena and the two exchanging words on Twitter.
There is really only one way this match can go, and that is Rousey destroying Nikki in quick fashion. Not only are the Bella Twins not full-time wrestlers anymore, but it is unrealistic to believe that Nikki can last a long time in the ring with someone like Ronda. Although a Nikki Bella win would be interesting since fans do not like the Bella Twins very much and the heat would be red hot, the plan is most likely to keep the belt on Rousey until WrestleMania for a big match.
The only real question with this match is can Rousey and Nikki pull a decent match out of this? Ronda has defied critics' expectations before so I can see her doing so again.
