This event will feature all the women of WWE including wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown, NXT and participants in the upcoming Mae Young Classic.
In addition to featuring only female talent, the Evolution pay-per-view will feature matches with the Raw Women's Championship, SmackDown Women's Championship, NXT Women's Championship and the Finals of the 2018 Mae Young Classic.
Stephanie McMahon was joined by Vince McMahon and Triple H at the start of the show and cited the hashtag "Give Divas a Chance" as the start of the Women's Evolution.
Though credited to the WWE fanbase, the Give Divas a Chance hashtag came about after former WWE Diva AJ Lee called out Stephanie on the treatment and pay of women in the company.
The "Give Divas a Chance" hashtag took off after this encounter and continued to trend on social media, leading to WWE abandoning the Diva's moniker and the Diva's Champion following the arrival of Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks to the main roster in 2015.
Since their call-up from NXT, women's wrestling in WWE has continued to make history with main events on TV and pay-per-view as well as several first-time matches.
This is without a doubt the biggest spotlight WWE has provided its women's wrestler and will hopefully give us some moments worthy of the pay-per-view's namesake. Lita and Trish Stratus are two legends who are already confirmed for the event. What's next, we're yet to find out. This is exciting!
