Report: WWE Evolution All-Women's PLE Set To Return This Year
WWE Evolution
It looks like WWE Evolution is finally set to return.
WWE Evolution was an all-women's professional wrestling pay-per-view that took place on October 28, 2018, at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, New York. As of now, it is the first and only Evolution event to take place in WWE.
That looks to change, however, according to a new report from @WrestleVotes. The outlet claims WWE is set to reintroduce the Evolution event this summer. No date for the Evolution relaunch was reported by @WrestleVotes.

However, Bodyslam.net's Cory Hays was credited for reporting talks of Evolution's return earlier this month. Hays previously listed July 5, 2025, as a potential date of the event. WWE has not commented on Evolution's return. A formal announcement is expected shortly before WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas next month.
The original WWE Evolution pay-per-view featured seven matches on the event card. This included three WWE women's championships being defended on the card. The main event saw Ronda Rousey defeat Nikki Bella, while the penultimate match saw Becky Lynch defeat Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match. Other matches on the card saw Toni Storm defeat Io Shirai to win the 2018 Mae Young Classic. Trish Stratus and Lita also defeated Mickie James and Alicia Fox, who had Alexa Bliss in their corner.
James was the architect behind NWA's all-women's pay-per-view event, Empowerrr, which took place in 2021 as part of NWA's anniversary weekend. James was the executive producer of the show, which had Chelsea Green score a main event win in a NWA Women's Invitational Cup Gauntlet.

WWE Night Of Champions 2025 Match Card, Start Time And Most Likely Winners
Cody Rhodes must win the WWE King of the Ring finals to get another shot at John Cena. (Credit: ... More Scott Brinegar/WWE via Getty Images) WWE via Getty Images WWE Night of Champions 2025 takes place this Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and is the final stop on the road to SummerSlam. The latest WWE pay-per-view, or Premium Live Event, emanates from Kingdom Arena and features a rare match for John Cena as well as the finals of both the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. The event was an instant sellout and is expected to feature roughly 27,000 fans in attendance. WWE did not hold a Night of Champions event in 2024, instead holding an event titled "King and Queen of the Ring" in Jeddah last May. In 2023, the Night of Champions show was at the time WWE's most viewed event ever to be held in Saudi Arabia. The 2025 WWE Night of Champions will determine not one but two world title challengers for SummerSlam and could potentially feature the last-ever match between Cena and CM Punk. Forbes WWE Money In The Bank 2025 Results, Review And Match Ratings By Blake Oestriecher The 2025 WWE Night of Champions event features six matches, deviating from the recent trend of major events having just four or five bouts. Below is the full match card: WWE Championship Match: John Cena vs. CM Punk King of the Ring Tournament Finals: Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton Queen of the Ring Tournament Finals: Asuka vs. Jade Cargill WWE United States Championship Match: Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa Raquel Rodriguez vs. Rhea Ripley in a Street Fight Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross WWE had originally scheduled an Intercontinental title match between Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles, but that match was removed due to an injury to Mysterio. Also, the winners of the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments finals will challenge their specific brand's world champion, respectively, for the title at the first-ever two-night SummerSlam in August. WWE Night of Champions 2025 Start Time And Streaming Info WWE Night of Champions 2025 will air on Peacock in the Unites States at 1 pm EST/12 pm CST. The event is available on Netflix to non-US fans. The one-hour pre-show will begin one hour before the main card on WWE's official YouTube channel. WWE Night of Champions 2025 Favorites And Most Likely Winners In their 14 singles matches, John Cena and CM Punk have each won six matches while the other two bouts ended without a clear winner. In other words, Punk vs. Cena, potentially for the last time ever, should serve as the rubber match between the two. While Punk remains one of WWE's most beloved stars and Cena is struggling to be a convincing heel, it's difficult to envision Cena losing the WWE Championship roughly two months after his record-breaking 17th title win. WWE is clearly building toward a massive rematch for Cena (more on that later) while there isn't really any indication that Punk vs. either Rhodes or Orton is the direction for the near future. Punk can rebound from a loss, especially with Cena likely to win controversially in order to set up a blockbuster SummerSlam rematch. Likely Winner: John Cena WWE Queen of the Ring Tournament Final: Asuka vs. Jade Cargill Although Asuka just returned from a year-long absence and could be in line for a major push, Jade Cargill is clearly standing in the way. And she isn't moving either. Prior to Cargill's injury late last year, WWE reportedly had planned on making the polarizing star a world champion on the road to WrestleMania 41. While those plans may have been slightly delayed, they likely haven't been scrapped altogether. WWE is clearly going all in on a major singles push for Cargill, and it's just a matter of time. At WWE Night of Champions 2025, Cargill can take one step closer to her first singles title with a big win over Asuka, one that would allow Cargill to reignite her feud with Ms. Money in the Bank Naomi come SummerSlam. Likely Winner: Jade Cargill WWE King of the Ring Tournament Final: Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton When the WWE King of the Ring brackets were first revealed, WWE fans could see where this was headed: Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena II. Rhodes vs. Orton is certainly a massive dream match, and with both stars so beloved that they shouldn't turn heel, it makes sense to book them in a competitive tournament finals match without having to move either star to the dark side. Given that WWE just billed Orton vs. Cena at Backlash as their final match ever, Orton doesn't figure to get another crack at 'The Champ.' No, WWE Night of Champions is all about Rhodes winning to get a second shot at Cena at SummerSlam. Likely Winner: Cody Rhodes WWE United States Championship Match: Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa As is the case with Jade Cargill, WWE is going all in on a monster push for Jacob Fatu, perhaps its fastest-rising babyface star. Solo Sikoa, a fine midcard heel but overall mediocre performer, isn't going to change that. Or is he? In the ideal situation, Fatu should get a significant push similar to what Gunther received as Intercontinental Champion, where his stellar reign as a midcard titleholder helped catapult him to the main event scene. Fatu just won the WWE United States Championship two months ago at WrestleMania 41, after all. Losing it to Sikoa would seemingly be too big of a step backward for a star WWE is pushing forward. Then again, maybe not. With potential new Bloodline member Hikuleo reportedly spotted in Saudi Arabia, expect the faction's latest addition to make his long awaited debut and help Sikoa defeat Fatu in controversial fashion. Likely Winner: Solo Sikoa Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross A late addition to the WWE Night of Champions card, Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross is highlighting two stars who have gotten mega over in completely different ways. Zayn has been one of the best booked babyfaces in all of WWE over the past few years while Kross, though a heel, is finally getting a shot on TV after a riveting post-WrestleMania promo that made him a cult favorite among WWE fans. While Kross would benefit greatly from a significant win over someone like Zayn, there's been little to suggest that he will actually get it. After all, Zayn is in the midst of a major character arc, one in which he's pursuing his first-ever world title win. Kross, meanwhile, barely gets on TV. This should be a surefire win for Zayn, and anything else would be a massive surprise. Likely Winner: Sami Zayn Street Fight: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez Rhea Ripley remains one of WWE's most beloved stars, but her never-ending feud with members of The Judgment Day is beyond tiresome. While WWE is focusing a little more on Raquel Rodriguez with Liv Morgan injured, she's not portrayed to be anywhere near the same level as Ripley, who's always protected by WWE's booking. If this were a standard wrestling match, Ripley would be a shoo-in to win. That isn't the case, though. The Street Fight stipulation opens the door for Rodriguez's fellow Judgment Day members to help her win, which will keep Ripley looking strong even in defeat. Likely Winner: Raquel Rodriguez

WWE Night Of Champions Full Card - What Time Does It Start?
US wrestler John Cena holds his championship belt in the ring during a presentation on the eve of ... More his match for the undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on June 27, 2025. (Photo by Fayez Nureldine / AFP) (Photo by FAYEZ NURELDINE/AFP via Getty Images) The next WWE premium live event is here. Night of Champions is an old-school WWE event, but it has changed quite a bit over the years. Here's an answer to the most compelling questions about the 2025 version of is WWE Night of Champions 2025? The event takes place on Saturday, June 28. WWE kicked off the weekend with a special episode of Friday Night SmackDown, which saw the last layers of hype for the biggest matches on Saturday's card. In addition to the normal go-home content, we also saw a new Women's U.S. Champion crowned. Giulia knocked off Zelina Vega to win her first singles title on the main Time Does WWE Night of Champions 2025 Start? This show will begin a little earlier than most of WWE's premium live events. Night of Champions starts at 1 p.m. ET, with a preshow that begins at 11 a.m. is WWE Night of Champions 2025? The event takes place at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That explains the early start time and WWE kicking off the weekend with a larger episode of SmackDown than is the Full WWE Night of Champions 2025 Card? Undisputed WWE Championship Match (c) John Cena vs. CM Punk In case you missed it, Punk trolled Cena on Friday by coming to the ring dressed in one of his rival's old gimmicks, the Doctor of Thuganomics. He even had custom trons that read "Punk Life." Punk came to the ring and recited bars he likely wrote. It was purposely lame and cool all at the same time. King of the Ring Final Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton This match has a chance to steal the show. Rhodes could lose and turn heel—or vice versa. In any case, I'm betting that whatever happens in this match will lead to something serious in the fourth quarter of the of the Ring Final Jade Cargill vs. Asuka Is Asuka back for a significant run, or has she been chosen to put Cargill over? Quite honestly, I wouldn't have an issue either way. Asuka and Cargill would make excellent Queens of the Ring. My hope is that the two women have a strong States Championship Match (c) Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa Few in WWE are as over as Fatu. He seems destined to successfully defend his title. However, this match seems like a perfect spot for Solo's Bloodline to get a new or returning member. If that happens, the scene could be set for Fatu to drop the belt—though he'd likely regain it shortly. In any case, this match could be Fight Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez Let's hope Rhea and Raquel do their best Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest impersonations in this one. McIntyre and Priest had one of the best street fight matches I've ever seen at WrestleMania 41. While we haven't seen the same bitter build for this one, the ingredients are there for Ripley and Rodriguez to put on a Zayn vs. Karrion Kross Kross has his chance to shine in a match against one of the best workers in the industry. We'll see if he can take advantage of his moment.

After dethroning Cody Rhodes to become a record-breaking 17-time WWE Champion at WrestleMania 41, Cena puts the Undisputed WWE championship on the line against long-time rival CM Punk.

Meanwhile Solo Sikoa looks to claim championship gold for the first time on the main roster as he challenges Jacob Fatu for the United States title. The King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournaments culminates this evening as Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Asuka and Jade Cargill battle for the respective crowns and a world title match at Summerslam.
