The June 30 episode of WWE RAW went down in Pittsburgh, and it included a lot of Night of Champions fallout. Rhea Ripley is coming off a big win in Saudi Arabia, and she was ready to continue that momentum.
Rhea Ripley opened up this week’s episode of WWE RAW. She welcomed fans to “Monday Night Mami,” and then The Nightmare addressed her next steps.
After admitting that WWE Evolution is right around the corner, she said her priorities need to get in order. That is when WWE Women’s World Champion IYO Sky came out to interrupt her.
IYO Sky said that they can’t have Evolution without her, and Rhea Ripley is certainly not on top, because she’s not champion. Then Sky said she can pick her opponent at Evolution, and she has decided to face The Nightmare.
Rhea Ripley then declared that she will win the WWE Women’s World Championship at Evolution. She also made it clear that IYO asked for that match, so it’s her fault whatever happens during that contest.
WWE Evolution will take place on July 13, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the State Farm Arena. This will be the first Evolution event since 2018, and it is expected to be a packed show.
