Nikkita Lyons Returns to the Ring in WWE EVOLVE After Long Absence

Nikkita Lyons has a lot of eyes on her, no matter what she’s doing. During EVOLVE this week, the Lyoness had a chance to show off a bit.

You never know who will show up on WWE programming. This week, Nikkita Lyons appeared during EVOLVE to make her presence known.

During EVOLVE, Nikkita Lyons appeared in a backstage segment with EVOLVE General Manager Stevie Turner. The segment set up a match between Lyons and Kendal Gray in the main event. Lyons defeated Gray in the main event match.

After the match, Kali Armstrong attacked Gray’s injured knee. Armstrong and Gray are scheduled to compete in a fatal four-way match in four weeks for the women’s EVOLVE championship, which added to the drama. The show ended with Armstrong being pulled away from Gray.

Nikkita Lyons has not wrestled for WWE since March 22, 2025, when she and Arianna Grace lost to Meta-Four, Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend, at a WWE NXT live event. Jackson was later released after her stable was disbanded on NXT television.

We will have to see what Nikkita Lyons does next. She could get her momentum back after an injury took her out of the picture. If anything, she certainly made her mark on EVOLVE this week.
