Behind the scenes reactions to the recently announced WWE Evolution 2 Premium Live event have been unveiled. After months of preparation, WWE officially confirmed its second all-women’s Evolution Pay-Per-View event set to take place on July 13th in Atlanta, Georgia. The announcement was made during the main event show last Saturday night, with updates on how WWE’s women’s roster responded to the news.
While the event had been heavily rumored for some time, most of the women’s roster reportedly found out about it when the official announcement was made. A few exceptions include some top-tier talent and one legendary wrestler who is expected to have a special role in the show. The reaction among the roster was mixed—some appreciated the significance of the event, though not everyone recalled the “curtain call” moment from the first Evolution event.
There are concerns about how well the event will perform, especially since it coincides with a Beyoncé concert, which may drive up hotel prices and potentially affect attendance. If the event doesn’t meet expectations, it could be used as a reason not to hold future Evolution shows. Some top talent have expressed that WWE already has too many premium live events, leaving uncertainty about how Evolution fits into the schedule.
One veteran wrestler expressed excitement, hoping that lesser-known women on the roster will get opportunities to showcase their talents. Conversely, some expressed lukewarm feelings, mainly due to current booking trends within the division.
Fan Take: The announcement of WWE Evolution 2 is a significant moment, signaling WWE’s ongoing commitment to showcasing women’s wrestling on a major scale. For fans, it represents a unique chance to see some of the division’s best and rising stars compete in a spotlight event dedicated solely to female wrestlers, potentially shaping the future direction of women’s wrestling in the sport.
