WWE Evolution 2025 PLE is now part of wrestling history, following the success of its third event. However, wrestling legend Bully Ray doesn’t share the same enthusiasm.
The former tag team champion is candid about his views on WWE’s All-Women’s Pay-Per-View (PPV) series, Evolution. Speaking on Bust Open Radio, the WWE Hall of Famer expressed that the company should consider a different approach for Evolution. He criticized the promotion for being minimal and felt the event lacked the strong buildup that other major wrestling shows like “I’ll Show You Everything Texas” or “Saturday Night Main Event” have.
Bully Ray said, “We didn’t think about Evolution because it was unfair to the women warriors in the ring. Not only did the buildup feel unlike a Saturday Night Main Event, but it didn’t feel inclusive, so we didn’t expect a big show.”
Furthermore, Bully Ray emphasized that WWE’s female wrestlers have already established their place in the spotlight. He believes they should demonstrate their value by participating in regular shows alongside male wrestlers instead of being separated into distinct events.
He added, “I don’t think women need their own separate shows anymore. They belong just as much as men, and we’ve proven that through promotions, matches, and main shows.”
The first WWE Evolution PPV happened in 2018, and the latest episodes aired this past Sunday. According to Mike Johnson from Pwinsider.com, those within WWE are “excited” about the prospect of another Evolution event in 2025. Johnson noted, “Among those we’ve spoken to about doing another Evolution show after last night’s excellent event, there’s no set timetable for when it will happen.”
It remains to be seen if Evolution 3 will take place in the coming years.
