13 Hidden Meanings Behind Outlandish WWE Evolution Attires

5. Sasha Banks & Bayley

Acknowledging her history, Bayley's original Davina Rose moniker may have inspired the floral number that anchored her matching doubles gear with Sasha Banks, but a greater point was being made alongside it.

Pink and black were the natural choices for the attire-conscious NXT graduates to sport as they stood alongside Hart Family future Hall-Of-Famer Natalya, but as with CM Punk's SummerSlam selection in 2012, this was a matter of respect.

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T" was what Bayley's hero Randy Savage paid to 'The Hitman' during a WrestleMania IX clash in which he received absolutely none from Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan. 'The Boss & Hug Connection' too warranted better service than they received ahead of Evolution, but used a potential filler match to remind everybody why their 2015 TakeOver: Brooklyn battle was still the best there is, was and ever will be.
