WWE Evolution 2025: Mixed Reactions and Concerns Surrounding the Women's Event
WWE Evolution 2025 Returns After Seven Years
The excitement surrounding WWE Evolution 2025, a premium live event spotlighting the company's female superstars, is palpable as it makes a comeback after nearly seven years. The discussions about this event's return have been ongoing since the start of the year, and the official announcement made last weekend has sparked a variety of reactions.
Reports from a reliable source indicate that many women on WWE's roster were unaware of the event until it was publicly announced during Saturday Night’s Main Event. The source stated, “Almost every member of the WWE women’s roster told us that they officially learned of the show when it was announced publicly.”
While a few prominent figures and at least one WWE legend received prior notice, the overall sentiment among the roster regarding the announcement's execution was less than enthusiastic.
Concerns About the Success of WWE Evolution 2025
Many wrestlers view the confirmation of WWE Evolution 2025 as indicative of the WWE's inconsistent treatment of its women's division, drawing parallels to the inaugural Evolution event in 2018. Some talents referenced the emotional 'curtain call' moment at the end of that event, suggesting it would not have been requested of the male roster.
There are rising concerns that WWE Evolution 2025 may not achieve the expected success, especially since it coincides with a Beyoncé concert in the same city. This overlap raises fears that a potential underperformance could be used as justification for not hosting future all-women events.
Additionally, one top talent expressed skepticism about the necessity of hosting WWE Evolution 2025, given the already packed schedule of premium live events this summer. However, another veteran in the locker room sees this event as an opportunity to highlight talents who typically do not receive regular airtime.
WWE Evolution 2025 is set to take place on Sunday, July 13, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, and will be available for streaming on both Netflix and Peacock.
