We dive into our predictions for the upcoming WWE Evolution PLE and analyze what could be in store for this all-women's event returning after a seven-year hiatus.
• Championship matches including Jordynne Grace vs Jacy Jane for the NXT Women's Title with implications for a TNA crossover
• No Holds Barred match between Jade Cargill and Naomi with Bianca Belair as special guest referee
• Fatal Four-Way for the Women's Tag Team Championships featuring The Judgment Day, Charlotte/Alexa, Sol Ruca/Zaria, and The Kabuki Warriors
• Women's Battle Royal with potential surprise returns from legends like AJ Lee or Paige
• Trish Stratus challenging Tiffany Stratton for the SmackDown Women's Championship
• Women's Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat between Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Lyra Valkyria
• Main event: Io Sky defending the Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley
WWE Evolution should become a yearly or bi-yearly event to properly showcase the incredible talent in women's wrestling rather than waiting another seven or eight years for the next one.
Welcoming the Tag Team Talk
Speaker 1Welcome to the Bennett Bash Podcast Tag Team Talk . I'm Ben , I'm Bash . It's time to lace up your boots and hit them out with the Bennett Bash Podcast Tag Team Talk .
Speaker 2All right , here we are for another one . We are going to be doing a second evolution . Wwe Evolution has been what ? Eight , seven , eight years since the last one .
Speaker 1I think so .
Speaker 2Yeah . So I mean all in-depth review of you . I mean you should have more by now . I should at least three or four by now . I would say every couple years I would say do one , don't do one every year , but I was at least every two years . You should , you should do one yeah I mean all the women you got nothing to be .
Speaker 2Uh , retired wrestlers you know work with , working with tna , now working with triple . I mean you got a bunch of people you can bring up to do that every couple years to keep it fresh .
Speaker 1I think it's going to become a yearly pay-per-view . Why don't you think it's going to be a yearly pay-per-view ?
Speaker 2Because there ain't been one yet , it's only the second one in eight years or seven years . So they haven't done it . Think every two years , be on the safe side .
Speaker 3It shouldn't be another seven , eight years for the next one . Put it that way .
Speaker 2It shouldn't be another seven , eight years for the next one . Yeah , but yeah , we're just going to you know , give our predictions on it , what we think is going to happen , storylines involved and that kind of stuff . So yeah , let's get to it .
Speaker 1All Women's Championship and for this one I mean I would say JC Jane , but Masha Slamovich , I think at Slamiversary , has a title for title match .
Speaker 2I guess whoever wins this .
Speaker 1Yeah , but like I don't think they , are they going to unify the titles ?
Speaker 2No , it's just title for title , basically .
Speaker 1Oh , okay , it's like a double chain . I don't think that should happen .
Speaker 2It's already booked . Marsha Samovich is fighting to win this next weekend , I think it is . So whoever wins this match is going to wrestle against Marsha Samovich .
Speaker 1I don't see JC Jane wrestling Marsha Samovich and I don't see her winning either .
Speaker 2I mean , I'm going to say Tripp Williams got the TNA championship , so it would be unreasonable for a TNA wrestler to get a championship in NXT .
Speaker 1I mean no , jordan Gracie signed to NXT . I know that I'm saying Marcia Samovich , oh , marcia Samovich , don't join Gracie's side of NXT .
Speaker 2I'm talking about Marcia Samovich .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2If Trick Williams won , why can't ? A TNA wrestler win an NXT Championship I don't know it's not a one-way street . Supposedly it's supposed to be both sides .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2So yeah , go ahead , Finish up what you were saying .
Speaker 1But um , so I'm going to say Jordan Grace .
Speaker 2Any reason why ?
Speaker 1No , I just think her versus Waxer Slamovich has more rivalry . I mean , they've already wrestled before .
Speaker 2Exactly that's what I'm saying , not to say I want to see something new . But Jordan , yeah , I guess you can put Jordan Grace in there . But I mean , jc Jane wouldn't be a bad choice either . But yeah , I guess for some anniversary , yeah , jordan Grace versus . I guess that works better , but either one can win . You're going , I'm gonna go , I'm gonna go ahead and go with JC Jane and win this .
Speaker 3So just to I mean she only had time for that long he can't ever have time for it .
Speaker 2How long has that worked ? Two months a month . How ?
Speaker 1long has that been going on the main roster ? Two months since money in the bank was money in the bank March April . May .
Speaker 2May , so two months , about like a couple of days . Do you have the bill ?
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2Come on now , at least give her a good reign . Come on now . She's been working here for years . Let her get a nice 100 plus day reign like everybody else does .
Speaker 1Not 100 plus . That's WWE , not NXT Let her .
Speaker 2Lose that T-Wave .
Speaker 3I guess , Oscar had it for how long . That's awesome .
Speaker 2Shayna Baszler had it for how long .
Speaker 1Shayna Baszler in NXT .
Speaker 2Exactly NXT .
Speaker 3She had a whole group of girls around her . Yeah , they can help her keep it .
Speaker 2That's what I'm saying .
Speaker 1So she shouldn't really lose it .
Speaker 2She has those two girls helping her
NXT Women's Championship Predictions
Speaker 2the whole time , unless they break up .
Speaker 1But yeah .
Speaker 2I got JCJ winning it , keeping it the whole time unless they break up . But yeah , I got JCJ winning it , keeping it for a little bit longer , maybe losing it at Heat Wave or something like that . Yeah , but that's what I was Well never mind , because whoever wins this could lose to Masha Samovich .
Speaker 1Yeah , I think so which is why I ?
Speaker 2don't think . Jordan Grace is going to win it , because Jordan Grace wins it then wins the TNA championship too . She just came to TNA .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2It would have to be JC James . Jc James may lose to Marsha Stone .
Speaker 1You don't think Jordan Grace is going to lose ? Oh yeah , because then her title reign and then it would end .
Speaker 2After a week . Exactly After a week , or how long ? Yeah , about a week or so .
Speaker 1Yeah , I'm a , I'm a , you're gonna stick with . Jordan Grace , though right , uh huh , stick with Jordan Grace . No , I don't think so . I don't know . You can stick with Jordan .
Speaker 2Grace , she can beat Masha Stumper , because they may have both titles .
Speaker 1I'll stick with Jordan Grace .
Speaker 2She could win both titles , I mean she had to take these titles before before she came to WWE .
Speaker 1I'll stick with Jordan Grace . Yeah , probably gonna lose , um , so , uh , that's what you gonna say for that .
Speaker 2Yeah , got jaycee james for that one and uh . The second match on the card is jay cargill versus naomi , with bianca belair as the special guest referee , and it's a no bars match too which is what they needed , because it's been on sight with them since they figured out that Naomi was the one that pushed Jade onto that car . Every time somebody comes out , the other one comes out , so you have to have this kind of match , some kind of stipulations . Falls County , where no holds barred , last woman standing .
Speaker 3Something like that .
Speaker 2It's the only way you can end this feud , or at least this way anyways .
Speaker 1Yeah , but I see Jade Kirkland winning and then Naomi's going to cash in on her To keep the rivalry . I see Jade Cargill winning and then Naomi's going to cash in on her .
Speaker 2Yeah , to keep the rivalry . Here's the other question , though Is Bianca going to have is she going to be what they call partial right down the middle , or is she going to be ?
Speaker 1She's going to be impartial . To Naomi Impartial , I was going to say she's going to be impartial right no To .
Speaker 2Naomi . Impartial means she doesn't have anything . She's in the middle . Oh no , no , Partial , partial means she's going to be on either side .
Speaker 1Oh , she's going to be on Jade Cargill's side . She's going to be partial .
Speaker 2To Jade Cargill no .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2She's going to be going against Naomi .
Speaker 1Yeah , you think yeah . Why ? Because she attacked her best friend and Jade didn't even . It was deserved , kind of .
Speaker 2But why wouldn't Bianca join forces with Naomi ?
Speaker 1Why would she do that after she took out their best friend , both of their best friends ?
Speaker 2Maybe she felt the same way . Maybe Naomi did it first before Bianca did it .
Speaker 1No , I don't think so , just saying I mean everybody was talking about look at Jade .
Speaker 2now Where's Jade at right now ? She's in the title picture what match ?
Speaker 1summer slam which is the second biggest show and it's , and it's , the biggest one . That's the biggest one supposedly , of the summer .
Speaker 2Yeah and jade's in that match , not bianca , not naomi . Yeah , I mean bianca was . Exactly . And what happened while she was hurt ? Jade , yeah , forgot about her and went on her own . Mm-hmm Won Queen of the Ring , just going to challenge , I guess , eo , or whoever wins between EO and Rhea .
Speaker 3Yeah , but Jade's going to win .
Speaker 2Or will it be the ?
Speaker 1winner of Tiffany and Trish Stratus so that's what I'm saying .
Speaker 2So she already has a title shot already , just waiting to see who's going to get it . Yeah , so yeah , but yeah , go ahead . Who are you saying ? You say you got who winning .
Speaker 1Jay Cardew , Jay Cardew . I want Naomi to win . Though just for the record , I'm going to go with Naomi winning , because Jay doesn't need to Chet's house already .
Speaker 2Mm-hmm , and then Bianca's to get the guest referee , so anything can happen in that match . Referees .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2And it's WWE , so guest referees always get involved some kind of way .
Speaker 3Mm-hmm .
Speaker 2So I think Bianca's going to get involved and help Naomi and that kind of starts a little mini-feud with . Or yeah , I I don't know , because then if you start a feud with Bianca , costing- Jade the match , then it's going to be Jade , but then nobody . Huh , I mean , you'd rather ? See Naomi and Bianca feud with each other and give them something to do in the meantime but , I just don't see , I just don't see it how . I just don't see it .
Speaker 1They got that whole Oscar winning performance on SmackDown . You don't think they're going to go to rivalry ?
Speaker 2Yeah , I know but , I'm just saying this . Bianca was getting booed a lot of times . You don't think that's going to get to her . To make her sour , naomi .
Speaker 1Yeah , but you got to think about it . I don't think it's gonna happen .
Speaker 2Yeah , maybe not , but it could you never know . With this match , I'm gonna go with Naomi winning . I'm going Naomi winning .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 1But that's what you're gonna say .
No-Holds-Barred Match Breakdown
Speaker 2Yeah , that's it . I'm gonna win that one no holds barred match .
Speaker 1And for the third match on the card , it's the Judgment Day versus Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss versus Soruka and Zaria versus the Kabuki Warriors for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships . And the Judgment Day is Raquel and Roxanne instead of Raquel and Liv .
Speaker 2Yeah , Live that with a shoulder injury yeah . Which is tough for Evolution too , mm-hmm .
Speaker 1So for this one , I think , I mean I think Roxanne I mean , no , not Roxanne Charlotte and Alexa are gonna win , but I hope that the Judgment Day wins to keep the feud going ? Actually , no , Because then they I don't know , I'm going to say Charlotte and Alexa maybe , I don't know .
Speaker 2I mean it would be like WWE to let Charlotte and Alexa For Charlotte and Alexa to win . It would be WWE eventually . Because I mean they always , Anytime you put people together like that . Cody Rhodesins and Jay would still win tag team finals .
Speaker 3It just happens , For whatever reason you get two people who are ?
Speaker 2tag team who don't have any tag team experience technically , but they put them together and they all of a sudden win tag team gold . Naomi and Jay , Not Naomi Bianca and Jay Boom . Tag team champions .
Speaker 3And then Naomi and Bianca .
Speaker 2Exactly who do you got boom tag team champions , and then Naomi and Bianca . Exactly so who do y'all win at ?
Speaker 1Alexa and Charlotte it's not .
Speaker 2It's not unreasonable for them to win , but and so , ruka and Zari , I don't see them winning yeah , I mean I don't see the Kabuki Wars winning , actually well , asuka coming back , they could easily win . I mean , and Kyrie , I don't see the Luki Wars winning . Actually , with Asuka coming back , they could easily win .
Speaker 1I mean , and Kyrie , but I think Kyrie's saying you saw Vendetta . She had Not Vendetta , but like whatever it's called , video package . Video package , it was just like her pirate gimmick and you saw , like her goggle thing , it was looking at the Women's Championship . I think she's going to go after Iyo Sky Eventually .
Speaker 2Or Asuka too . What's Asuka going to do ?
Speaker 1She's going to go after Iyo Sky too .
Speaker 2But Hmm you know what ? I'm going to keep the Judgment Day because Finn Balor is going to tag team championships . I'm going to keep that in the house . Let that be . Yeah , yeah , let them . What's up , what's up , what do you want that to be the cause ? We see Dominic and Finn are having little issues right now . Are they going to break up ?
Speaker 1eventually , but not right now . That's what I'm saying . So .
Speaker 2I think the women , raquel and Roxanne , are going to win again . Well , not again , but they're going to defend their championships .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2Yeah , it should be a good match , though . I mean , those are four good teams , a bunch of good wrestlers in that match there's not any bad wrestlers in that match .
Speaker 1Really . I mean , Raquel may be the least experienced out of that , but Roxanne .
Speaker 2Roxanne wrestled for a while . She's an ROH champion .
Speaker 1Oh , I didn't know that , so maybe Sol Ruka may be the least experienced . Yeah , probably Sol Ruka . Sol Ruka may be the least experienced .
Speaker 2But every time she wrestles , what does she do ? She puts do . She puts on a show mm-hmm there's actually wrestles yeah so you can't tell , and it's already been wrestling for a while in the pen .
Speaker 1The scene and then we already know Kyrie and Oscar is that you know what Charlotte and Lesley's been doing on there to be for last almost decade .
Speaker 2Yeah , so yeah , that should be a good man like . There's not that to me it's not a week , nine weeklings on this match that somebody's like pulling somebody else up or something like that yeah , all . All of them can hold their own , which means it's got the potential to be a good tag team match .
Speaker 3Mm-hmm .
Speaker 1You know , but you said that Judgment did .
Speaker 2I want Zarya and Solo to win , but I just don't see it .
Speaker 1You do , yeah , I do . I want them to win . I don't think that will fit the storyline .
Speaker 2But want them to win . But I don't think they're not going to win because I think Dari and Solo are going to feud at Heat Wave or something like that later on this year . So you can't have them be tag team champions and feud at the same time .
Speaker 1I mean , who will want to win ? Probably the Kabuki Warriors , but I don't think they're going to win . But uh , I said alexa and charlotte , and for the next match . That's what you can say , that's it all . Right , the next match , the fourth match on the card , it's the bat , it's the women's battle royal .
Speaker 2Um is this a gimmick match on evolution no , it's just a . It's a match , like I told you before what was it ?
Speaker 1was it in the last evolution ? I don't think so oh , I don't remember I thought it was maybe .
Speaker 2I can't accept it . Usually I can't remember that far , so I don't remember . I thought it was . Maybe I can't , I can't remember , but I can't remember . But uh , yeah , I mean they need . I'll tell you that before you know . Whoever doesn't get one on one matches you just have like a battle royale or something . That way you can have all the women from the past , present , future oh yeah , also it's for clash .
Speaker 1I don't match that's what I'm saying .
Speaker 2I'm saying like , battle Royale , though , is good because you can put people I thought they would have one at Worlds Collide with AAA wrestlers and WWE wrestlers , nxt wrestlers all in one place . But yeah , so Battle Royale is good too , because you can put women who don't have a singles match or a tag team match or whatever on this , and you can have them . You can bring older wrestlers out who may not be in a wrestle a full time , a full match , anymore , but still want to be there , like I'm hoping to see maybe Jazz or somebody show up . I mean , she's technically
Women's Tag Team Championship Analysis
Speaker 2retired , but she can always come out and do a couple things in the ring and then get thrown out , you know , just to make the crowd pop a little bit , you know isn't that just a wasted spot ?
Speaker 2though no , why she's a legend . I'm not talking about Jacqueline or just like anybody like have we not seen wrestlers running in the ring get eliminated in one second ?
Speaker 3so that's a wasted spot . Technically it is . I don't disagree .
Speaker 2That's what I'm saying I'm not talking about that . I'm saying come in , do a couple moves on people and then get thrown out . That way you don't have to actually put a full wrestling match if you can't do one .
Speaker 1So , like Booker T did a couple years ago Exactly he came out got popped .
Speaker 2Came out , did a couple things , spinneroni boom thrown out .
Speaker 3He was never going to win it .
Speaker 2We knew that , but it's the pop , so maybe they do something like that with some of the older women wrestlers legends who didn't get a chance to get that much time on TV . Maybe like a Gail Kim or somebody , a lot of wrestlers from back in the Attitude Era or right after . They were only getting five-minute matches . Then they had gimmick matches . There was never an actual one-on-one .
Speaker 2Lita and Trish Stratus kind of changed that around Trying on people like that . Before that that it was a bunch of gimmick matches like mud wrestling and stuff like that you know it was like . So the real women wrestlers the women who could actually wrestle , wouldn't get up to it and wrestle , so maybe the ones who didn't get up to it need that chance to get their POE , you know moment yeah , I think Evolution is a great , a great pay-per-view .
Speaker 1get their POE , you know moment yeah . But yeah , I think Evolution's a great , a great pay-per-view .
Speaker 2It is . It is Like I said . They should do one , if not every year , every two years or so .
Speaker 1Yeah . You know I think they should do one every year .
Speaker 2They should do one every year , but you know they probably had spent seven years in the last one because they had plenty of time doing the last one .
Speaker 1That was someone else's booking , to be fair .
Speaker 2Still , you could have did it .
Speaker 3Who do you got winning ?
Speaker 2that ? Who do you ?
Speaker 1think it's like the casino gauntlet match . I mean , you don't know who's going to be in it .
Speaker 2I know . We know a few people are going to be in it .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2And we know a title line at Clash that cancels all the lines , so we know more likely that one of the older ones aren't going to win it , probably not . Nxt is going to win it more likely Probably .
Speaker 3So it has to be somebody on the main roster ?
Speaker 1probably , so it has to be somebody on the main roster . Do you want to do a thing where we get extra points if we predict like someone coming back ?
Speaker 2we could , but what do you want to do I ? Mean I already , I already think there's a lot of people out there Gil Kim and Jazz yeah you know , I would say AJ , lee and maybe Paige , I don't know Paige is a free agent . She did a podcast with .
Speaker 1CBC right yeah .
Speaker 3Chris Van Vliet .
Speaker 2Chris Van Vliet .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2She did a podcast with him , so she's freaking right now . She said she can pop up anytime she wants to .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2She's cleared to wrestle , so she could easily pop up . She was at the last one , but she didn't wrestle .
Speaker 1So you want to count extra points or not ?
Speaker 2We can just predict it and see what happens .
Speaker 1I I'm saying AJ , lee and Paige are coming back .
Speaker 2AJ Lee's a good one . I mean , if AJ Lee comes ? I've been saying that for years .
Speaker 1I mean , but like she said on her I forgot what it was , but it was like she like said like hello darkness , my old friend and she had like her old boots on or something .
Speaker 2That was a little while ago , though , wasn't it ? No , that was like pretty recent .
Speaker 1I thought that was a while ago . No Like how long did you talk to her , but maybe she was . I know she was doing it .
Speaker 2She did a TV show where she was like on a TV show , like a wrestling TV show .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2She did that where she was wrestling on that , so I thought it might have been around that time when she did that , when she posted it .
Speaker 1No , but it was like she had like her old boots on and stuff .
Speaker 2Paige , aj , that's two good ones . Two good ones , I mean . If Paige comes back , she's going to actually be wrestling . Aj comes back , she may not be there full time , unless she wants to be , you know .
Speaker 2This would be a perfect time for her to come back , though , in the Battle Royal . Yeah , it'd really be better for her to come back in the Royal Rumble , because you get the actual full introduction . You know when you're coming out Battle Royals , everybody already
Battle Royal Surprises and Returns
Speaker 2in the ring . There's just a few of them at the end . A lot of them . They should do all of them .
Speaker 1They should take time to do every single person going to be in the Battle Royals One by one .
Speaker 2Bring everybody out Normally when they do Battle Royals . I saw a few of the Andre the Giant Battle Royals . You saw it , you were that one of them , where they have a bunch of them come out at one time .
Speaker 1And then they have , like the big guy .
Speaker 2And then they have a few guys come out individually yeah or the guy who's just going to win . Yeah , exactly , so that's what they usually do . A lot of times they're going to do that again today for the the AJ Lee , or it would be the AJ Lee or Paige .
Speaker 1If it was a surprise , it would be the last one to be the surprise one , yeah , just to get a pop , because if they're already in the ring , that's going to be boring .
Speaker 2Exactly so , yeah , but who do you got winning ? You think Because they got to get a title shot at Clash of the Castles .
Speaker 1I mean .
Speaker 2I don't know of whoever on their brand , because if SmackDown wins , it'd be against Tiffany or Trish .
Speaker 1I don't think it matters .
Speaker 2I think they just said a WWE Women's Champion , yeah , but I'm guessing , though if you're on that , whatever brand you're on , that's how it match . If you're on NXT , do you get to go NXT Women's Champion or do you get WWE Women's ?
Speaker 1No , I think it's WWE winners . Wwe okay , so that's what I'm saying , Because Kalani and Jordan , I think was cutting a promo on Tiffany and them , I think I don't know , so yeah , that's what I'm saying .
Speaker 2So whoever wins that will get a title match against one of the women on WWE .
Speaker 1Yeah , I'm pretty sure , anyway , yeah .
Speaker 2Who do you think is going to win anything ? It's hard to predict that because you got at least 20 women .
Speaker 1I think it's going to be either Stephanie Viqueur or somebody else .
Speaker 2I don't think it's Stephanie myself . I don't think it's Stephanie already myself .
Speaker 1I kind of want to say AJ Lee , but I don't see a return happening . I don't see a return she does come back , I don't see a return winning .
Speaker 2It'd be because it'd be one of the heels to throw her out to get some good heat on them .
Speaker 1Yeah , so I would say Stephanie Rukia .
Speaker 2Yeah , I don't like agreeing with you a lot , because I don't like things like that , because it'd make it funner , but for more fun , but uh , I mean there's no , there's literally nobody else that's gonna win . I'm just talking about who's gonna win yeah , but I mean , you don't know who's gonna be in it who .
Speaker 1But who would win if they were in it ? I would say Bianca Baller , but she's not in it yeah , if you don't .
Speaker 2Jay's not in it , naomi's not in it , sean's's in it .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's it , that's really it , oh .
Speaker 2NXT women Last Legend's in it .
Speaker 1Yeah , but I don't see them winning .
Speaker 2Oh , speaking of Last Legend , I'm thinking , you know what . I'm going to go back to my prediction on Naomi real quick . I just thought about this . I was thinking about this the other day , it just popped in my mind again .
Speaker 1It's about the NXT thing . Oh , that's not happening .
Speaker 2It is no , it's not Perfect place to do it Ladd Legend , hometown , mm-hmm . Perfect place . Because she just lost for a no More Contenders match on NXT . Yeah , she can move up to the main roster . That'd be a good way to get her with a veteran , like they did Omos and AJ Styles , mm-hmm . Put them with somebody who knows what they're doing , like Naomi . You can also have her be the muscle for Naomi .
Speaker 1Yeah , so it doesn't get beat down by Jade every week , but I don't see that happening Okay .
Speaker 3When it happens .
Speaker 2You know what it is .
Speaker 1That's not going to happen , oh yeah .
Speaker 2Last Legend coming up .
Speaker 1She's going to be at Babyface because people like Last .
Speaker 2But she's not at Babyface , her character's not at Babyface . Yeah , but like that's what I'm saying . They're gonna cheer and then they're gonna boo her because she's winning , because she helped Naomi beat Jade . That's not gonna happen it is gonna happen .
Speaker 1That's what I think is gonna happen .
Speaker 2You think Bianca's just like blind or something you ever heard about a referee getting knocked out ?
Speaker 1yeah , but Bianca Valeri's not just like any . Any referee I punch would just knock her out .
Speaker 2No but still , it can happen though , but anyways that's why I got Last Legend coming up debuting on the main roster and helping out Naomi become her muscle . She don't have a group anymore .
Speaker 1Yeah , but who wins the Battle Royale ?
Speaker 2I was thinking about that . Stephanie Julia's in it . She is .
Speaker 1Yeah , she's in it I thought champions weren't's in it .
Speaker 2She is .
Speaker 1Yeah , she's in it . Oh , I thought champions weren't allowed in it .
Speaker 2No , julia's in it , chelsea Green's in it .
Speaker 3Mm-hmm .
Speaker 2I'm sure Nia Jax may show up , I would think . Anyways , yeah , yeah , watch .
Speaker 1Nia Jax .
Speaker 2Be like the big , like the big person you know , like the big , like like the big person you know , like the make the major person yeah , but yeah , I think stephanie's gonna win it just because she has those women I'm going for right now outside of , like julia and all them , all the other girls .
Speaker 1But yeah , so you think stephanie's gonna win it ?
Speaker 2yeah if anybody else , I'm sure I'm missing somebody that's off the top of my head . I'm gonna be . I'm gonna remember after we get done with this , but right right now I know I think Stephanie's going to win it .
Speaker 1Yeah . So I think that , oh yeah , but I think Stephanie Viqueira's going to win . But for the next match on the card is Trish Stratus versus Stephanie Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship , for the WWE Women's Championship , and for this one , I feel like Tiffany just retains , because I feel like this is just a one-off thing for Trish Stratus , like she does on the show .
Speaker 2Trish Stratus wrestled Lex Luthor last time on Evolution . Oh , she did I think it was Lex Luthor . Oh yeah , I think it was Lex Luthor last time , mm-hmm , I don't know if I can remember , so like a super modern person versus like a yeah , older person .
Speaker 1Pretty much , yeah . That's what . That's what it is . That's what this is .
Speaker 2This match is basically mhm so who do you got winning at Tiffany ?
Speaker 1yep , I don't see Trish Stratus winning , because I think that's just a one off appearance wait .
Speaker 2she's been on TV a lot , though Shane said she retired .
Speaker 1Yeah , and she's not retiring . I'm just saying it's a one-off appearance , I think yeah .
Speaker 2Maybe she may get some help from some of her older females . I don't see that I know I'm just throwing stuff out there to make it interesting . Yeah , but yeah , I think Tiffany's going to retain as well , don , maybe SummerSlam against Jade , or maybe Hotel WrestleMania next year and lose it to somebody . I don't know . But yeah , I don't see Tiffany losing to Trish Stratus Not right now it's been 20 years ago , but a different story probably , but right now .
Speaker 1I think Tiffany's the one that's . You know right now . She got it right now , mm-hmm . Oh yeah , so you're going to sit for that . Yeah , I'll sit for that , I and should be a good match , though , yeah definitely , and for the next match on the card is Becky Lynch versus Bayley versus Lila Vakaria for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship this match should have made it nah . I mean it still has a chance . I don't think , io Sky , they already said . I think they said yesterday .
Speaker 2The main event that's the main event is el versus coming . We show el sky of the day instead of main event of evolution oh yeah , that makes sense , they showed her and they showed uh ria yeah yeah , he said the main event of evolution I mean personally .
Speaker 1I yes , I think it does warrant the main event . But I don't think , even if it , even if it , uh , even if el or uh trish stratus match , I don't think . I don't think either , even if those were
Women's Championship Matches Forecast
Speaker 1not announced to be the main event .
Speaker 2I don't think those , I don't think Bayley's , because the problem is you got to go after who that match may start it off .
Speaker 3Yeah , because you don't want to have that match be co-main event . Yeah .
Speaker 2Because , if they , because you know , bayley , they're great wrestlers pretty much and they're going to put on a show .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2And you don't want to go after them if you don't know the main event , because now you got to live with that , what they just did .
Speaker 1Kind of like that when they had Montez .
Speaker 2Ford and them when they had that tag team match with all the tag teams , Uh-huh . And it was should have been a WrestleMania , but it wasn't , and then the War Raiders knew they looked bad . But then that other tag team actually got a resume .
Speaker 1That was a match of the year contender it was .
Speaker 2That's what I'm saying , this right here is not a bad match either , so this match may start it off to get the crowd going , and all that , yeah , because this right here , this one and Naomi , are the two ones that have the biggest .
Speaker 1Oh no , A title match is never going to make it .
Speaker 2No , but I'm saying those two are the two biggest build-ups .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2Like what's going on with both the wrestlers . Naomi and Bayley , then Naomi and Jay , and then Bayley and Becky and Lyra . You know , I mean that's you going back , becky and Bayley going back to NXT . Yeah , and you put Lyra in there , who started wrestling because of Becky , trained in the same place as Becky .
Speaker 1Yeah , I mean Lyra and Becky goes back to NXT too , exactly .
Speaker 2She beat her Uh-huh , and then you got Bayley in there , which Becky attacked Bayley at Wrestlemania caused her not to be at the . Wrestlemania then , you know , took her spot , won tag team championships , Boom . Now she's in the Women's Intercontinental Championship . Yeah , so , but yeah , I mean that's the biggest , that's the biggest buildup , I think , in the whole card , besides Naomi and Jade , as far as title online .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2But uh , but yeah , that's my opinion . They should have made it , but who do you got winning that though ?
Speaker 1Uh , Becky's gonna retain you think Becky's gonna retain . Uh Becky .
Speaker 2Mmm . No , I think Baby's gonna win it .
Speaker 1Where'd you get that logic from ?
Speaker 3Because where'd you get that logic from ? Because it's just , it's a triple threat match .
Speaker 2Anything can happen , yeah , and and , like I said , nobody likes each other Lara been fighting with Bayley , bayley been fighting with Lara . Lara been fighting with Becky , becky been fighting with with Bayley for a while . So it's nobody's gonna really team up . I think too much it's gonna be a little bit here and there , but it's not going to be much team up at all because all three are going to lock each other up .
Speaker 1I think Bayley and Lyra are going to team up at the beginning , maybe , yeah .
Speaker 2Maybe , or they may start fighting at the beginning , who knows , play both one of the same thing , mm-hmm , yeah , I'm going to go ahead , I mean you got to get her . I mean , she missed WrestleMania . Come on girl .
Speaker 1I think if it would happen , it would happen at SummerSlam .
Speaker 2Well , she would wrestle at SummerSlam against somebody else , I think .
Speaker 1No , because I mean Becky and Bayley haven't had their one-on-one match .
Speaker 2Yeah , you can have it at SummerSlam .
Speaker 1Yeah , exactly .
Speaker 2You can have it at SummerSlam . I'm saying , if Bayley wins , if she pins Lyra , then Becky can be like you never pinned me . And then boom , there we go . Yeah , or or Becky wins .
Speaker 1Yeah , I think it , I think it , I think that happens .
Speaker 2But the other way around . She pins Lyra , then Becky wants to rematch , but and then , and then there it works better for Becky lose , the country gets a rematch . So if Bayley was to pin Lara , Bayley would get a rematch and it would be more likely to be a SummerSlam . That's a SummerSlam match right there . It's a big time match .
Speaker 1But I see that going the other way it could go either way .
Speaker 2So neither one of us got Lara winning . No , lara doesn't win at all .
Speaker 1I mean according to us , yeah , so . So I mean according to us , yeah so , but yeah , so that's what you're going to say for that .
Speaker 2Yeah , I got Bayley winning that one .
Speaker 1All right , in the main event of WWE Evolution , it's Io Sky versus Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship . Yep , and this one , I mean I really want Io to win and this one , I mean I really want Io to win and I just I don't know . I just feel like Rhea Ripley shouldn't have the title for like at least like a couple of months . So I mean I'm going to say Io to retain , because I think she's going to retain . I mean I don't think so , but I want it's a hard one , because we know what Rhea does in championship matches .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2She usually wins .
Speaker 3Mm-hmm .
Speaker 2On average , not all the time . She lost the rest of the main against Io , yeah , but it's the one-on-one .
Speaker 1And then they keep saying that Rhea's never beat her , so when they do that , that means they always Exactly .
Speaker 2They always have a storyline behind time . She doesn't , but Rhea has no help . Io , she doesn't , but she does , but she doesn't , they don't come out . They don't come out interfering with that .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2She's still with damage control technically .
Speaker 1She kind of left .
Speaker 2Did she leave ? They never feud with each other when she won the world title .
Speaker 1she just left Well left .
Speaker 2Well , she didn't leave him because Oscar went back here when she won the world title .
Speaker 1I mean , yeah , but like the rest of the damage control in Dakota wasn't even there .
Speaker 2Exactly . All you had was Kari Sane .
Speaker 3Kari Sane , that's all you had .
Speaker 2So you really couldn't leave anybody who was not there . Yeah , so they're back outside of Dakota , so , but , but , yeah , but .
Speaker 3I got I'm'm gonna go with yo as well to win this .
Speaker 2Uh , I mean , I really think ria probably will win it , but I really want yo to win every time yeah , definitely but you know what I'm gonna go . You say you pick the yo right ? Yeah , all right , I'm just gonna go , I'm gonna go ahead , but you can't go wrong either one . I'm just going to pick ahead , but you can't go wrong with either one . I'm just going to pick Rhea . I'm going to go ahead and get Rhea .
Speaker 1I'm going to go ahead and pick Rhea to win .
Speaker 2You're going to lose , that's fine , I think
Main Event: Io Sky vs Rhea Ripley
Speaker 2so anyways . I'm going to go ahead and pick Rhea to win become the new Women's World Champion . You know she can feud with whoever Io versus Oscar or Kairi for the title , but I think , for some reason , I just think Rhea's going to win the title . Yeah , but yeah , All right . Oh , one thing , though , about this that I didn't really , not because I didn't like , but all women's PLE . You should have had all the belts . Now , what belts not being defended .
Speaker 1The women's North American championship . I mean , that was defended yesterday , yeah , yesterday .
Speaker 3but that was not being defended either .
Speaker 2You mentioned it earlier . Oh , the United States , I mean , they don't you would think you would give her a one-on-one match at Evolution . I mean , she's a big time it could be anybody . Well , like who , though it could be anybody .
Speaker 2It could be anybody Like I'm talking about with Athena the other day at AEW you could have put her in the ring as anybody in a one-on-one match for the AEW , for the ROH , but against anybody . It's not about who's in it , it's just about giving that spotlight . You know so , like Julia , she's a big time name and you got her in a battle royal .
Speaker 2I'm not saying anything bad about battle royal but you could have a one-on-one match with her and whoever you could have gave you know anybody a shot for that , I mean anybody could get a you know , and it would have been a big time match , you have all the women , all the women's championships defended , except for the North American one yeah and even NXT women's has been defended on this .
Speaker 2Nxt women's both WWE women's tag teams Intercontinental you could have probably squeezed the United States in there too yeah , but people don't like the US title . But with Julia Havis you could have probably squeezed the United States in there too . Yeah , but people don't like the US title . But with Julia Havis that's why you put it on a PLA like this . Yeah , to make more people aware of it . And it's Julia that has it too .
Speaker 1She's a popular wrestler , Mm-hmm . You know , so , but again , who would ? She doesn't have any storylines , except Zelina Vega . She could rematch , no I don't see Zelina Vega getting rematched .
Speaker 2She couldn't rematch .
Speaker 3She couldn't rematch .
Speaker 2And that would have been in a feud right there Couldn't rematch . If Julia wins the feud's over with Do you think Zelina's going to turn heel ever ? I don't know , but I'm just saying you can have her and Julia wrestle in the rematch . Have now that . Now , if julia wins now , selena is over , she can't , so she has no reason to ask for another title shot . And now you can have julie going . Somebody else now for getting ready for summer slam yeah , you know now you still got selena .
Speaker 2Whoever else wants to get involved in that match , you know well . Anything else , you want to talk about this before y'all um nope , all right , so hopefully we don't have to wait another seven eight years to do another talk about this before y'all . Nope , alright . So hopefully we don't have to wait another 70 years to do another evolution thing . Hopefully it's another year or two years , but anyways I'm .
Speaker 1Ben , I'm .
