WWE Evolution II Set for July 13 in Atlanta

WWE Evolution II, the company's second all-women premium live event, will take place on July 13 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta after nearly seven years. Becky Lynch is set to defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship in a triple threat match against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, a rivalry that began at WrestleMania 41 and featured title swaps and betrayals. Nikki Bella makes her return in a Number One Contender's Battle Royal, where the winner will earn a title shot at WWE's Clash in Paris event. Additional marquee matches include IYO SKY vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship, Trish Stratus vs. Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship, and Naomi vs. Jade Cargill in a No Holds Barred match. The event is notable for appearances by Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and NXT stars, but some fans have criticized it as a superficial gesture towards the women's division. Evolution II promises major developments for WWE's women's roster with its star-studded lineup and high stakes.
