WWE Evolution 2018: Predicting the rankings of the matches at the pay-per-view

What surprises await us at WWE Evolution?

#6 The Women's Battle Royale

Will the battle royale disappoint us as much as it did a number of the participants?

This could be like the battle royal at 'Mania. It was anticlimactic with Naomi winning, but with no reward, who really cares.

We can expect some fun spots from the returning vets with some pops for each returning legend. The IIconics will undoubtedly team up to eliminate people and might end up lasting to the end.

It could also be a sign of gauging who from NXT is the next to join the main roster. Someone like Nikki Cross has been in limbo in NXT, being thrust into the 'Who attacked Aleister Black' storyline.

Battle Royales are always fun to an extent, but this one actually has a future title match given to the winner. If Asuka wins, it would seem like another 'my bad' from creative. Hopefully, Kelly Kelly is eliminated early so she doesn't embarrass herself as she did during the Women's Royal Rumble match.

A lot of who wins this match will tell us the likely winners of the night's remaining title bouts.
