WWE Plans Women's Battle Royal, Trish Stratus Return Talks for Evolution 2 in Atlanta

WWE is preparing for its Evolution 2 event on July 13 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, with new matches being scheduled including a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship defense by Raquel Rodriguez and a Women’s Battle Royal that will grant the winner a title opportunity at Clash in Paris 2025. WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is reportedly nearing a return, with creative discussions underway for a potential match against WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, though nothing is finalized yet. Stratus’ involvement has grown more likely following Liv Morgan’s injury, which has caused significant changes to the event’s lineup, including the removal of Morgan’s originally planned match. Stratus is considered a major draw for Evolution 2, as her presence could help offset the impact of Morgan’s absence and increase the show’s appeal amidst a crowded wrestling weekend that includes AEW All-In. Sources indicate that WWE is exploring multiple creative options for Stratus’ role, potentially featuring her in singles or tag team matches, but final decisions are expected closer to the event. Her return would mark a significant moment for the women’s division and provide a boost to WWE’s efforts to make Evolution 2 a standout show.
