5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (July 27)

5. WWE Evolution

Well, apart from STARDOM Ryogoku Cinderella. And TNA Knockouts Knockdown. And All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling Wrestlemarinpiad. And others.

What Stephanie McMahon meant to say on Monday night is that WWE is set to present WWE's first time ever all-women's pay-per-view. Was this implied, or was the implication that none of these events matter because they weren't promoted by WWE? Use your voice, and decide for yourself. Nonetheless, this is something that would have been inconceivable just a few short years ago.

On RAW, Stephanie delivered her much-anticipated announcement. Despite last appearing on the flagship as a manipulative heel, she was all smiles - snarls - as she once again portrayed herself as the chief benefactor of women's wrestling: the genre she invented. Labelled WWE Evolution, the event will emanate from Uniondale New York's Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on October 28, 2018, and will promote matches from the RAW, SmackDown and NXT brands, and will feature women from yesteryear.

Booked well (we know), this could be something special.

An NXT Title match (provided it is booked by those involved in NXT) is invariably very good at a minimum. Trish Stratus was excellent throughout her Royal Rumble cameo, and an extended Evolution appearance would trigger a nostalgic reaction and yield a more than worthwhile performance. And surely, WWE will alter the main roster title pictures to create openings into genuinely good women's wrestling matches, and not matches in which men decide the fate of the belt.

Ultimately, this is something to celebrate...in a vacuum. WWE, being WWE, took that all too literally on Monday night.

And sadly, at this rate, Carmella will headline an overlong 4.5 hour pay-per-view Stephanie McMahon will commentate upon throughout.
