A WWE legend has been announced to compete in a championship match at the upcoming Evolution Premium Live event on July 13th. During the July 4th episode of SmackDown (taped on June 30), women’s champion Tiffany Stratton was given the opportunity to select her challenger for Evolution.
The segment started with Jade Cargill interrupting Stratton. Cargill, fresh off winning the Queen of the Ring Tournament, has secured a title shot at SummerSlam. As tension grew between Cargill and Stratton, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus made her way to the ring. Stratton revealed she specifically asked for Stratus to be her opponent for Evolution.
The storyline suggests that this setup could position Cargill to challenge either Stratton or Stratus for the WWE Women’s Championship at Evolution. Meanwhile, Naomi, who holds a Money in the Bank contract, remains embroiled in a heated rivalry with Cargill and could attempt to cash in her contract before SummerSlam. Additionally, a no Holds Barred match between Naomi and Cargill is scheduled for Evolution.
Fan Take: This announcement is huge for WWE fans as it brings a legendary name back into the spotlight, promising a clash of experience and emerging talent. The evolving rivalries and high stakes matches at Evolution could reshape the women’s division and build exciting momentum heading into SummerSlam.
