WWE Evolution: 6 Most Likely Outcomes
Revolutionary or same old, same old?
Despite months of preparation, WWE Evolution is almost upon us and it still seems like it's been terribly under-planned.
The event is, of course, considered historic as it's the first all-women's pay-per-view that the company has ever produced. As a result, it will celebrate both the past and present, featuring all of the female superstars currently on the roster, as well as some of the greatest women superstars of all time (in WWE, and WWE's good books, at least).
On paper, it's revolutionary, but in reality, it's a shell of what it could have been.
A number of the company's bad booking decisions have rendered some of their best superstars obsolete, while a lacklustre veteran has been booked in the main event match that should have been given to the superstars actually responsible for the women's revolution.
Having said all that, there are a couple of matches that show promise and could help turns things around, and the match card also deserves credit for showcasing the rising talent from NXT and the Mae Young Classic.
However, will that be enough to make the event as revolutionary as it should be?
6. The Six-Woman Tag Team Match Will Add Nothing Of Value
How many times do we have to see Sasha Banks and/or Bayley take on The Riott Squad in some variation of a match?
The pair squared off against them in singles and tag team matches on Raw back when the company was still pushing that bizarre love/hate program between them (that they inevitably dropped) and even then, it accomplished absolutely nothing.
This time, they will team with Natalya and take on all three members of the villainous stable in a match that was made for absolutely no reason.
The WWE creative team really let themselves (and their women superstars) down by booking this one. Sasha, Bayley and Natalya all had major roles to play in the women's revolution and, quite frankly, they all deserve better than this. For some reason, the creative well is dry for all three of these superstars, so this match is just an excuse to make sure that they're all featured on the card when that should never have been a question in the first place. Moreover, how many more losses can the Riott Squad suffer before they fade away into obscurity, because we all know it's going to happen at some point.
Due to that, we shouldn't expect this to be anything more than an average six-woman tag match that we've seen on any random episode of Raw. It has no reason for existing, and won't add anything of value to the evening.
