WWE is bringing again the all-women’s Evolution premium dwell occasion for the primary time since its 2018 debut. Evolution takes place on Sunday at State Farm Enviornment in Atlanta.

There are seven matches set for the occasion, with each bout holding important implications as SummerSlam attracts close to. 5 of these matches are for championships, with a battle royal additionally set to find out a title challenger for August’s Conflict in Paris occasion.

WWE’s high titles are set to be defended, with Iyo Sky placing the ladies’s world championship on the road in opposition to mutli-time former champion Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton defending the WWE girls’s championship in opposition to Corridor of Fame member Trish Stratus.

Stratus will not be the one WWE legend on the occasion, with Nikki Bella set to take part within the battle royal. The battle royal will doubtless characteristic different shock entrants from the previous, as the primary Evolution was additionally a nod to the ladies who introduced girls’s wrestling to the place it’s within the current.

Let’s check out who the CBS Sports activities wrestling specialists are choosing for all of the matches on Sunday, 

2025 WWE Evolution predictions

Girls’s World Championship — Iyo Sky (c) vs. Rhea Ripley: Ripley would not want the ladies’s world title, however she will be able to’t maintain extra losses to Sky. The reigning champ upset her to win the title forward of WrestleMania 41, then retained it in a triple menace match with Bianca Belair. It is time for “Mami” to get one again. Ripley’s enterprise with the Judgment Day is completed for now, offering a clean canvas for Ripley’s new reign of terror. Choose: Rhea Ripley wins the title — Shakiel Mahjouri

What’s unsuitable with a one-sided rivalry? If something, WWE may benefit from extra tales the place nobody “will get one again” and one other wrestler merely has their quantity. Sky has been arguably one of the best girls’s wrestler on the planet for occurring two years and having her drop the title proper now would not really feel obligatory or attention-grabbing. Ripley would not have a ton of momentum after being sucked down into an countless Judgment Day storyline and I do not see a transparent or attention-grabbing path for her with the title. Perhaps it is choosing with my head somewhat than what I consider WWE ought to do, however hold the belt on Sky for now and look ahead to a greater second to swap the title for causes past “it is time.” Choose: Iyo Sky retains the title — Brent Brookhouse

WWE Girls’s Championship — Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Trish Stratus: The gang hasn’t precisely been obsessed with Stratus’ return. Stratus is a legend, sure, however she’s not likely as much as the duty of placing on matches of the standard anticipated in fashionable occasions. There is not any cause to have her beat Stratton right here since she’s solely there to supply a bit enhance from having a Corridor of Famer on the cardboard. Choose: Tiffany Stratton retains the title — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)

Girls’s Intercontinental Championship — Becky Lynch (c) vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria: Valkyria has actually been figuring issues out after a rocky begin on the primary roster. She’s confirmed she will be able to cling within the ring and has actually picked up her work on the mic. Lynch hasn’t held the title lengthy sufficient for her to drop the strap on Sunday and Bayley’s inclusion helps hold Valkyria from needing to eat a second loss to Lynch. It is doubtless that Bayley and Valkyria go off to do their very own factor after this match whereas Lynch strikes on to a special program in the intervening time. Search for Lynch to steal a pin on Bayley to retain. Choose: Becky Lynch retains the title — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)

Battle Royal for title match at Conflict in Paris: Stephanie Vaquer is essentially the most plausible winner with out realizing what shock entrants will emerge. Vaquer and NXT rival Giulia, each world class execs, had been delivered to the primary roster after WrestleMania. Giulia just lately captured the ladies’s United States title. Vaquer needs to be on observe for her personal main second. A girls’s world title match between Ripley and Vaquer checks off many bins. It is recent, it is high quality and can profit from the rabid followers at Conflict in Paris. Choose: Stephanie Vaquer wins — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)

Girls’s Tag Staff Championship — Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Charlotte Aptitude & Alexa Bliss vs. Sol Ruca & Zaria vs. Asuka and Kairi Sane: The story with Aptitude and Bliss as reluctant teammates has been attention-grabbing and offers two of WWE’s largest names one thing to do whereas they’re out of the singles title image. Rodriguez and Perez’s story is extra attention-grabbing in the event that they drop the titles, with Rodriguez’s frustration with Perez boiling over in Liv Morgan’s absence. Choose: Charlotte Aptitude & Alexa Bliss win the titles — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)

NXT Girls’s Championship — Jacy Jayne (c) vs. Jordynne Grace: I would like to see Grace pull the upset, however I do not assume WWE is able to take the main target off Jayne. The Deadly Affect member is a key fixture on NXT programming and early in her title reign. It is too quickly to take the belt off the champ. Choose: Jacy Jayne retains the title — Mahjouri

Grace is a particular expertise and somebody NXT can be going all in on earlier than she’s a dominant pressure on the primary roster. They could as properly throw down with placing the NXT belt round her waist now. There is not any level in ready once you’ve obtained the fitting particular person proper there. Choose: Jordynne Grace wins the title — Brookhouse

Jade Cargill vs. Naomi (No Holds Barred Match): Cargill and Naomi enter their WrestleMania rematch with momentum. Cargill is the Queen of the Ring, and Naomi wields the Cash within the Financial institution briefcase. Cargill, who gained their final match, must look robust earlier than difficult the WWE girls’s champion at SummerSlam. Naomi’s briefcase makes her a relentless menace to the title, even when she loses right here and there. Choose: Jade Cargill wins — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)
