WWE Evolution 2025 Features Naomi Title Win, No AJ Lee or Saraya Involvement

Following WWE Evolution 2025 at Atlanta's State Farm Arena, it has been clarified that neither Saraya (formerly Paige) nor AJ Lee were planned to appear at the event, with Saraya spending time in Hawaii and AJ Lee remaining retired since 2015 despite recent WWE content featuring her. The event was met with strong backstage enthusiasm, particularly for Naomi's Money In The Bank cash-in and victory to become the new WWE Women's World Champion, a move widely supported by fans and talent alike. There is significant internal interest and fan support for Evolution to become a recurring premium live event, though no official timeline or confirmation for future installments has been announced, and WWE executive Triple H has downplayed the idea of it becoming annual. On WWE Raw following Evolution, Naomi is set to appear, and notable matches include Nikki Bella's first singles match in seven years against Chelsea Green, alongside a Gauntlet match featuring CM Punk and others to determine the challenger for Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. AJ Lee's potential return remains speculative, with wrestling veteran Bill Apter suggesting she might consider coming back under the right storyline and offer. Overall, Evolution 2025 has been viewed as a success in elevating WWE's women's division and generating momentum for future women's events.
