WWE is set to host a multi-event weekend in Atlanta from July 12-13, featuring three major shows across two venues, highlighted by the return of Evolution, the company’s premium all-women’s live event that hasn’t been held since 2018.
The event lineup includes:
– Saturday, July 12 (afternoon): Great American Bash at the Center Stage Theater
– Saturday, July 12 (8pm ET): Saturday Night Main Event at State Farm Arena, airing live on NBC
– Sunday, July 13: Evolution at State Farm Arena
Saturday night’s main event will spotlight Bill Goldberg’s retirement match against Gunther, taking place in Atlanta, the hometown of WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, making it a key attraction for NBC’s primetime broadcast.
The return of Evolution marks WWE’s strongest commitment to women’s wrestling in years. The original 2018 Evolution event was groundbreaking as WWE’s first all-women pay-per-view, and this comeback signals a renewed focus on women’s programming.
Tickets for the two-day State Farm Arena package will go on pre-sale Tuesday and will be available through Ticketmaster starting at 10 am Wednesday, with further details for individual event tickets and Great American Bash passes to come.
Atlanta, which hosted WrestleMania XXVII in 2011 and Bad Blood in October 2024, continues to be a favorite city for WWE’s major events. This weekend format allows WWE to maximize its market presence while offering fans multiple entertainment experiences.
Premium ticket packages include ringside seating, pre-show hospitality with wrestler meet-and-greets, and photo opportunities, available at higher prices before general ticket sales open.
Fan Take: This announcement is thrilling for WWE fans, signaling a major boost for women’s wrestling and showcasing WWE’s dedication to creating diverse, must-see events. The return of Evolution could redefine the landscape of WWE programming and inspire a new era of women’s wrestling prominence.
