"The WWE is set to make history once again on Oct. 28 with its first-ever all-women pay-per-view event, titled Evolution.Staged live from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, the site of countless monumental moments in WWE history including WrestleMania 2, Evolution will feature the women of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT and the newly formed NXT: U.K. brands -- as well as at least a couple of Hall of Famers.
"Three years ago, our fans demanded a change with #GiveDivasAChance," said Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE executive vice president of Talent, Live Events & Creative. "Everything that's happened since then has come from that demand -- their insistence on seeing that change. Once given the [chance], they have taken every opportunity and not only knocked it out of the park, but hit a grand slam.
"More than three months out from the event, the exact makeup of the card is still yet to be determined, but one match already is set in stone: the finals of the second annual Mae Young Classic tournament. As you might expect, WWE is bringing out all of the heaviest hitters for Evolution.
"You can expect to see the best of all brands -- that's Ronda [Rousey], Charlotte [Flair], Alexa [Bliss], Sasha [Banks], Carmella, Nia Jax, Asuka, everyone -- plus you'll get to see Trish Stratus, Lita will be there, you're going to see some legends," Levesque said. "You're also going to see stars of now and the future in Shayna Baszler and the women of NXT.""
Now this is all coming after in January was the first ever 30 Woman Royal Rumble Match, in March was the first Elimination Chamber match for the RAW Women's title, and then we have the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia which had a record breaking 50 men.
I am very excited for this, I used to watch WWE when I was much younger, and then I started watching it again (almost 10 years later!) in the beginning of the year and I just loved it like I used to as a child. Even if I don't have the money, the twitter feeds of the event are good enough for me, now what are your thoughts knowing that more women are getting chances in the spotlight?
