One big thing: Bayley pushes for all-women’s WWE event
WWE Women’s Champion Bayley is championing the return of an all-women’s pay-per-view event, suggesting it’s time for ‘Evolution 2’.
Key points:
• Bayley believes WWE now has enough female talent to fill an entire show without relying heavily on past stars or NXT talent.
• She proposes including wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and potentially other promotions like TNA.
• The original ‘Evolution’ event took place in 2018 and was WWE’s first all-women’s pay-per-view.
What they’re saying:
We have such a stacked roster right now where we can hold down a show on our own, another PLE on our own, and it’s been so many years, but I think it’s time because it is a different era,” Bayley told Cody Rhodes on the “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast.
Why it matters:
An ‘Evolution 2’ event would showcase the growth and depth of WWE’s women’s division since 2018. It could also potentially feature cross-promotional matches, further elevating the profile of women’s wrestling across multiple organizations.
By the numbers:
• The original ‘Evolution’ event featured 51 female performers across 7 matches.
• WWE currently has over 25 active female performers on its main roster, not including NXT talent.
The big picture:
Bayley’s call for ‘Evolution 2’ reflects the ongoing push for greater representation and opportunities for women in professional wrestling. As the division continues to grow, events like this could become more frequent, potentially leading to regular all-women’s shows.
