10 WWE Evolution Impulse Reactions
1. Curtain Call
WWE have a deft touch for dramatic sentiment when there's little to actually applaud, so it shouldn't have come as much of a surprise when they trotted out the entire crew of wrestlers to clap off the show as the roaring success they were determined for it to be.
For once though, why not?
Intentionally equitable in ensuring everybody got to enjoy the praise heaped upon the main event and the show itself, the final curtain fell on a night so successful that it's hard to imagine the company won't do it again.
Either as an annual event or transparent deflection of negative public opinion, Evolution took hold of the narrative on the night even away from the publicised equality mission the company's been on for the better part of three years.
It was great wrestling not just for great wrestling's sake but for a bigger purpose for the performers themselves. Stephanie McMahon might be delivering a sales pitch everytime she goes near a live microphone, but with their words and their bodies the women - without exception - delivered a messages of hope and solidarity that actually mattered. That's worth even more than a standing ovation.
