With just two weeks remaining before the WWE Evolution 2 Premium Live event, following a significant creative overhaul behind the scenes, plans are finally starting to come together. According to a Fightful Select report, WWE is working diligently to finalize details, though some decisions are still being made last minute.
WWE is aiming to bring back WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus for the event, with initial plans taking shape during the recent Smackdown tapings in Pittsburgh, where a match between Stratus and current WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton was set up. But Stratus isn’t the only legend the company has reached out to; multiple legends have been contacted over the past few weeks as WWE looks to boost star power for its all-women’s shows.
The key factor driving the creative shift was Liv Morgan’s unfortunate injury, specifically a dislocated shoulder, which forced a significant change in the event’s creative direction. This led WWE to discard some previously planned matches and storylines, revamping the card accordingly.
This evolving plan also impacted the roster, with reports indicating that those involved in the Raw Women’s Tag Team match at Evolution were not fully informed about the creative direction. Additionally, despite online rumors circulating, many talents were not officially notified about the event until it was publicly announced.
Fan Take: This behind-the-scenes shakeup highlights the unpredictable nature of wrestling and its impact on storytelling. For WWE fans, it underscores the company’s commitment to delivering compelling shows despite unforeseen challenges, potentially setting the stage for surprising returns and fresh matchups that could revitalize women’s wrestling.
