6 Reasons why the Evolution PPV was underwhelming

#5 Use of the number one contender Battle Royal

Did The Number one contender's battle Royale feel slow paced to anyone else?

WWE held a number one contender's battle royal at Evolution to determine who would get a future title shot and while the match had its strong points, it seemed like it was just a way to shoehorn a bunch of women onto the pay per view. Furthermore, it also seemed to be a way to stall time and pad out the event.

Of course, it wasn't all bad and the WWE Universe got to see past stars like Alundra Blayze, Kelly Kelly, Molly Holly, Maria Kanellis and Ivory, but that doesn't exactly make up for the fact that it seemed poorly planned. Beyond that, the women seemed to have trouble eliminating each other safely, which only hurt the match more.

In the end, it was a nice little throwback to the past, present and the future of the Women's division, but all of that was overshadowed by the slow pace, the constant breaks for crowd pandering nonsense and the fact that the right Superstar didn't even end up winning the match when all was said done.
