The second WWE Evolution event concluded with a surprising twist as Naomi emerged as the new women’s world champion. In the main event, Iyo Sky was set to defend her title against Rhea Ripley, but Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to enter the match, turning it into a triple threat and quickly pinning Sky to claim the championship. Following her win, Naomi was very active on X (formerly Twitter), playfully teasing Ripley. Later that night, Naomi lost a banned hold match to her rival Jade Cargill but has since decided to chase the women’s title linked to WWE Raw, suggesting she may temporarily part ways with Cargill and WWE SmackDown.
Sky and Ripley are likely eager for another shot at the Women’s World Championship, but Naomi also has other challengers awaiting her reign. Evolution granted Stephanie Vaquer a title opportunity at WWE Clash in Paris by winning the Battle Royale. Although Vaquer is currently on the Raw roster and could challenge Naomi at the Paris event on August 31st, she may switch brands and pursue the WWE women’s title held by Tiffany Stratton instead. Before the Clash in Paris, Naomi is expected to defend her belt at the first-ever two-night WWE SummerSlam in New Jersey on August 2nd and 3rd.
Fan Take: Naomi’s shocking title win and her immediate challenge to top contenders set up an exciting new chapter in WWE’s women’s division. This could revitalize storylines and bring fresh energy to upcoming major events like SummerSlam and Clash in Paris, making it a must-watch period for fans.
