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

There are seven matches set for the occasion, with each bout holding vital 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 towards mutli-time former champion Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton defending the WWE ladies’s championship towards 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 function different shock entrants from the previous, as the primary Evolution was additionally a nod to the ladies who introduced ladies’s wrestling to the place it’s within the current.

One match that would produce some fascinating storylines sees Jade Cargill and Naomi reignite their feud as soon as once more, however this time, something goes in a No Holds Barred stipulation. The 2 have been at one another’s throats for months after Naomi was revealed because the thriller attacker who put Cargill out of motion for months. They’ve continued to blindside one another and spark brawls, however now an fascinating wrinkle has been added to this match as Bianca Belair will function the particular visitor referee, the place she is going to doubtless have to decide on a facet within the ongoing feud.

Let’s check out who the CBS Sports activities wrestling specialists are selecting 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 risk 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 the perfect ladies’s wrestler on the planet for occurring two years and having her drop the title proper now would not really feel vital or fascinating. 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 fascinating path for her with the title. Perhaps it is selecting with my head slightly than what I consider WWE ought to do, however preserve the belt on Sky for now and anticipate 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 captivated with Stratus’ return. Stratus is a legend, sure, however she’s probably not as much as the duty of placing on matches of the standard anticipated in trendy instances. There isn’t any cause to have her beat Stratton right here since she’s solely there to supply a little bit increase 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 hold 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 preserve 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 interim. 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 probably the most plausible winner with out realizing what shock entrants will emerge. Vaquer and NXT rival Giulia, each world class professionals, had been dropped at 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 ladies’s world title match between Ripley and Vaquer checks off many packing containers. 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 Crew 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 fascinating 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 fascinating 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 focus 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 may as properly throw down with placing the NXT belt round her waist now. There isn’t any level in ready if you’ve obtained the correct individual 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 ladies’s champion at SummerSlam. Naomi’s briefcase makes her a continuing risk to the title, even when she loses right here and there. Choose: Jade Cargill wins — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)
