Bayley has teased a potential match for the upcoming Evolution 2 event. The former champion hinted at a match with WWE Hall of Famer Ivory.
The second all-female WWE premium live event will take place on July 13th. It will be held at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Bayley Teases Match With An Icon
On social media, Bayley shared a photo of herself with Ivory. The picture was posted with the simple caption, "Evolution 2."
This post has led to widespread fan speculation. Many believe a first-time-ever match between the two could happen at the event.
Ivory, a 2018 WWE Hall of Fame inductee, is an icon of the Attitude Era. She is a three-time WWE Women's Champion.
She was also a memorable member of the heel faction, Right To Censor. Her last WWE match was in the battle royal at the first Evolution event in 2018.

A Battle Of Eras At Evolution 2
A match between Bayley and Ivory would pit a current top star against a legend from a previous generation. This would be a significant addition to the Evolution 2 card.
So far, only one match has been officially announced for the show. Jordynne Grace is scheduled to challenge for the NXT Women's Championship.
While nothing is confirmed, Bayley's post has generated excitement for a potential "battle of the eras" match.
Ivory debuted in WWE in 1999 and quickly became a top star in the women's division, capturing the WWE Women's Championship twice in her first year.
Her most memorable run came as the sole female member of the controversial Right To Censor faction. As a conservative heel, she won her third Women's Championship, which she ultimately lost to Chyna in a high-profile match at WrestleMania X-Seven. After the group disbanded, she worked as a trainer on Tough Enough before leaving WWE in 2005.
A 2018 WWE Hall of Fame inductee, Ivory has made special returns for events like the first Evolution pay-per-view, cementing her legacy as a key figure of the Attitude Era. Ivory has yet to address this tease by Bayley, nor has there been any reports that WWE is interested in making the match happen.
