Following the highly praised Evolution 2 event last night, the women’s division will continue to gain momentum on tonight’s “Raw.” Adam Pierce, General Manager of WWE’s flagship show, promoted the upcoming episode on WWE’s X Page, highlighting that two of his three announcements center on female wrestlers.
Pierce revealed that WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, who recently returned, will have her first singles match on “Raw” in seven years against Chelsea Green. In his announcement, Pierce praised Bella as a pioneer and trailblazer in the WWE’s “all diva era,” and noted Chelsea Green as a close friend of Nikki’s.
Since Bella’s last WWE run, she has made a name for herself in reality television, making her WWE comeback particularly intriguing as fans speculate how she will mesh with current stars. Additionally, Pierce mentioned that the new women’s world champion Naomi will appear on “Raw” after a surprising cash-in at Evolution 2. Naomi has already started calling out Rhea Ripley on social media, hinting at a possible upcoming rivalry.
Tonight’s “Raw” will take place at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, starting at 8 PM EST.
Fan Take: This news is exciting for WWE fans as it brings a legendary figure like Nikki Bella back into the ring, bridging past and present generations of women wrestlers. Moreover, with Naomi provoking Rhea Ripley, fans can expect high-stakes drama and intense competition, which is great for the future of the women’s division in WWE.
