WWE Evolution might be almost two months away but that has not stopped fans from speculating about the big names that are going to return and matches that are going to happen at the historic event.
A few legends have already been confirmed to appear at the event while rumours are swirling around that a few more might be appearing although they have not been announced by the WWE till now.
Here we take a look at 3 rumours that you absolutely need to know about.
#3 Michelle McCool will return
McCool is a former two-time Women's Champion and two-time Divas Champion. She was easily one of the highlights of the WWE women's division following the Attitude Era. Currently, she enjoys a happily married life with a certain Mark Calaway.
Very few women in WWE history have ever possessed the combination of size and athleticism that McCool has. And she looked superb earlier this year when she made a surprise appearance at the first ever women's Royal Rumble match.
The WWE has not officially announced anything about her return yet. But she was pictured on a poster for Evolution at the Barclays Center in an advertising blunder.
#2 Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella will main event for the Raw Women's Championship
Before Summerslam, a rumour suddenly sprang up that Ronda Rousey would be facing Nikki Bella in the main event of Evolution. Back then it was dismissed as one of those rumours that does not have much truth attached to it.
Nikki Bella has had a major neck surgery and as a result, she will be very limited in the ring. Also, can a talent as green as Ronda be expected to take care of Nikki when they are in the ring together? This just did not sound like a good idea.
But the events since then have made us have second thoughts. The Bella Twins randomly appeared out of nowhere at Summerslam to celebrate Ronda's victory in the ring and then backstage, despite having no past storyline connection with her. This was repeated the following night on Raw.
Knowing the WWE's methods, it seems like a Nikki Bella heel turn is on the horizon and this match is actually going to happen at Evolution.
#1 AJ Lee will make a shocking return to the WWE
This is the most outrageous that you've read about in a long time. AJ Lee returning to the WWE almost feels like impossible considering the fact that she is married to CM Punk. And her husband's differences with the company are well documented.
According to multiple sources, Vince McMahon has personally reached out to Lee to make a comeback at Evolution. This is something that seems possible after all Vince has buried the hatchet with Bret Hart and The Ultimate Warrior in the past.
Where this gets interesting is the fact that Punk has just come out of a high profile lawsuit and is facing another in the future. While he did have a very successful career in the WWE, he surely does not have an unlimited amount of money. An AJ Lee return might be for the money if not anything else.
Stranger things have happened in the past.
