What’s Your Next Move?

Still trying to make sense of a weekend packed with wrestling? You’re not alone! This feature aims to dissect all the developments post-WWE Evolution 2025, so if you’re curious about your favorite Wrestlers and their storylines, you’re in the right spot.

One certainty is Naomi’s cash-in from her 2025 Money in the Bank contract; she’s wearing WWE Gold again and already engaging Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky in rivalries. Speculation suggests Naomi will take the lead in the women’s division, given her recent unpredictable behavior.

However, there are still other titles to consider, including the Intercontinental Championship, Women’s Tag Titles, and NXT Championships. We’re left to see how Tiffany Stratton’s one-off match with Trish Stratus will progress following Evolution 2025.

Becky Lynch successfully defended her Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Evolution 2025, beating Laila Valkyria and Bailey. The victory was a sneaky one, as Bailey attacked Valkyria, allowing Lynch to roll her up for the win. It seems WWE is keen to maintain the feud going into SummerSlam.

“The Biggest Party of Summer” is just three weeks away, with three episodes of “WWE Raw” scheduled beforehand. It’s unlikely WWE will introduce a new challenger for Lynch, especially with Bailey and Valkyria both active in the storyline. They could opt for a mini-battle royal or gauntlet matches similar to those for the World Heavyweight Championship on “WWE Raw.” The Raw roster has plenty of talent, including Asuka, Kairi Sane, Roxanne Perez, and Natalya, who could all fit into future matches.

WWE might keep things intriguing by sidelining Valkyria, but that may not sit well with fans. In the opening moments of the match, Lynch gestured to Bailey, leading to speculation about future interactions.

A best-case scenario for these three would be for Valkyria and Bailey to brawl, with Lynch lurking in the background until it escalates. Ideal would be to set up standard matches for SummerSlam, likely featuring hardcore elements given their ongoing feud since WrestleMania.

Jacee Jane surprised many by defending the “WWE NXT” Women’s Championship against Jordin Grace, marking a pivotal moment in the 2025 season. Grace’s confidence is shaken as a feud begins with Monroe, with the potential for Masha Sulamovich to impact the storyline in future bookings. The question remains: what’s next?

Will Grace and Monroe form an alliance after Grace earns her chance at the title? Monroe has her sights set on a major storyline, potentially with Jane and the deadly influence looming in the background. Despite Monroe’s heel turn, her relationship with Jane remains complex, especially as they’ve had prior issues since Monroe’s debut.

If Nyx gets involved, Jane may have to watch her back as the situation develops, particularly concerning the NXT Women’s Championship. The twist provoked by Nyx’s inaction during a title match sets the stage for compelling future storylines.

Moreover, the collaboration between NXT and TNA has opened doors for Sulamovich to interject herself into the current dynamics. Although she hasn’t expressly indicated an interest in the NXT Women’s Championship, her growing presence could alter the landscape significantly.

Fans can expect clarity on these developments in the upcoming episodes of “WWE NXT.” The evolution presents a complex tapestry of rivalries, alliances, and shifting powers.

Raquel Rodriguez and new Judgement Day member Roxanne Perez successfully defended the Women’s Tag Team Championship in a fierce four-way match during Evolution 2025. This victory strengthens Perez’s role within “WWE Raw,” though the overarching storyline remains largely unchanged.

The alliance between Perez and Rodriguez is solidifying, evident from their victorious match strategy. While Liv Morgan’s injury is a setback, her anticipated return promises an exciting feud with Perez. However, it’s clear that they won’t often focus on the men’s tag team scene.

The Kadotai faction had some compelling moments in the match, but neither Asuka nor Kairi Sane managed to secure a pinfall. Both are likely to continue their individual storylines while teaming up as needed. The ongoing narrative between Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss also appears to be gaining traction, with Flair’s Evolution reception hinting at her growing popularity.

On a different note, NXT’s Sol Ruca and Zaria had a turbulent matchup, potentially leading to an intriguing subplot in the coming weeks. After accidentally spearing her partner, Zaria and Ruca may find themselves in conflict, adding drama to their storyline as Ruca’s journey towards the main roster continues.

In a twist during Evolution, a singles match for the WWE Women’s World Championship between Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky evolved into a triple threat when Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank contract, ultimately claiming the title from Sky.

After holding the championship for 132 days, Sky’s reign ended abruptly. Ripley has consistently pursued Sky since she lost the title, but hasn’t succeeded in reclaiming it. The storyline developed further when Ripley was unable to beat Sky in their last encounter, adding layers to their rivalry as implications mount for title opportunities.

Future scenarios may involve the likes of Queen of the Ring, Jade Cargill, who is also eyeing a title shot at SummerSlam. Despite being on “WWE Smackdown,” she has a previous victory over Naomi, adding complexity to the title race.

Bianca Belair is another name in the mix, as her involvement with the prior title dispute promises exciting angles heading into SummerSlam. The competition for title shots is rife, with many women vying for the spotlight in the weeks to come.
