WWE Bringing Back All-Women 'Evolution' PLE This Summer (WWE News)
Expect an official WWE announcement on Evolution 2025 before WrestleMania 41.
WWE looks set to revive its all-women premium live event 'Evolution' this summer, with an announcement expected before WrestleMania 41.
This latest update on Evolution 2025 comes from WrestleVotes, who tweeted on Thursday:
After speaking with sources, we can confirm WWE is set to bring back the highly anticipated “Evolution” PLE this summer. The return of the all-women’s event is expected to be officially announced before WrestleMania. Credit to @Cory_Hays407 who had heard rumblings of this rumor weeks back.
PWNexus and Bodyslam had previously reported on WWE's Evolution II plans in early March.
To date, WWE has only held one Evolution pay-per-view. The 28 October, 2018 event drew 10,900 fans to the historic Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, and was headlined by Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey vs. the returning Nikki Bella.
As well as utilising full-time women's roster members, WWE also brought back several names from the past for the occasion, including Trish Stratus and Lita. Charlotte Flair faced Becky Lynch in a landmark Last Woman Standing match on the night, while Shayna Baszler and Kairi Sane contested the NXT Women's Championship and Toni Storm fought Io Shirai in the 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament final.
Despite being a well-received, critically acclaimed show, WWE has so far resisted the temptation to hold an Evolution sequel. With WWE's women's roster now bigger and deeper than ever, Evolution 2025 appears a logical move, with no shortage of available full-time wrestlers to fill out the card, complimenting whatever old-school and legendary names the market-leading promotion opts to bring back as well.
