It’s been almost seven years since WWE made history with Evolution, the company’s first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view. Fans and wrestlers alike have begged for a sequel—but just when it looked like WWE might finally deliver, doubt is creeping back in.
A recent report from PWN got everyone talking, claiming WWE was planning an Evolution Premium Live Event for July 5 at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. “WWE is looking to host an Evolution PLE in the near future. Everything on the schedule is still tentative, but it’s currently set for 7/5,” the report read.
The news had people hyped. After all, the 2018 edition of Evolution was a fan-favorite event, featuring Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella in the main event and delivering huge moments for WWE’s women’s division. But now? Things are looking shaky.
Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp was asked during a recent Q&A podcast whether he’d heard anything about the rumored return of Evolution. His response didn’t do much to ease concerns. “I have yet to hear that, just outside of the reports. I have not confirmed that.”
That doesn’t necessarily kill the idea completely, but with July creeping up fast and WWE staying quiet, it’s hard to ignore the silence. No official announcement. No promo packages. No hint on television. Nothing.
Bayley, among others, has been openly campaigning for another all-women’s event, and fans have been vocal about wanting it too. But unless WWE makes a move soon, it’s fair to question whether Evolution 2 is actually happening—or if it’s just another plan that gets lost in the shuffle.
