The announcement.
None other than Vincent K McMahon makes his way to the ring. Flanked by Stephanie McMahon, her husband HHH. The Authority make their way between most of the locker room. HHH starts off the praise. Ranging from the superstars to the fans. HHH in turns to call the ladies forward. The King of Kings then starts to praise just the ladies. Stating that even “steal the show” at times. The Billion Dollar Queen, Stephanie McMahon now begins the anticipated announcement. On October 28th, 2018. There will be a PPV called Evolution. The FIRST EVER ALL FEMALE WWE PPV! This will include every female WWE contracted performer. Then, Now, Forever. As you would believe, the Ladies of WWE are ecstatic. As are the fans of WWE.
Tag Team Title rematch.
After the historic announcement. The Deleter’s of Worlds cut a video promo. They will face off against the champions, The B-Team. As soon as the match starts. We are greeted to a real life brother match. Bray Wyatt vs Bo Dallas. The two exchange blows left and right. Both men knock each other down. Matt gets the hot tag and so does Curtis Axel. Hardy beats down Axel and hits the Twist Of Fate. A two count is mustered. Just as Matt gets to pin Axel again. Bo counters a charging Bray. Tosses him on Matt and Curtis, with Axel gaining the win. After the match, Bray and Matt applaud The B-Team. Then attack both men.
Pals again?
Sasha Banks and Bayley has a quick backstage segment about their renewed friendship. Then both ladies team up to face some jobbers. The Boss Huggers hit a knee to Bank Statement for a quick submission win.
Elias debuts his album. Current Icons fight. AOP gets woken up. Breeze calls out Mojo.
The beginning of Elias’s trouble.
Elias was set to debut a single from his new album. The Monster in the Bank, Braun Strowman enters before a single note begins. The Monster goes on a promo, only to have Kevin Owens interrupt. Then after Owens delivers a splendid rant. Shortly, The Constable Baron Corbin arrives. Corbin tells Strowman he should manage his anger issues. The Constable then brings out The Modern Day Maharaja, Jinder Maha. Jinder is flanked by lackey Sunil Singh to help. However, the Monster Among Men refuses and power slams Sunil.
Natalya vs Mickie James.
The current active female icons have a match. The match featured strengths from both ladies. Natalya dominates Mickie early on. Just when Natalya is about to finish James off. Alexa Bliss interferes. Aloowing Mickie to hit a Suoer Kick for the win.
AOP gets a gut check.
The Drifter tries yet again to sing. This time he is interrupted by AOP. The Authors Of Pain goes on a rant. Only to be interrupted by Titus Worldwide. The leader, Titus attempts to have Akam and Rezar in becoming not so angry. It failed. So, Titus Worldwide does whats only left to do. Beat some kindness in to them. AOP get a gut check and have to retreat backstage.
Mojo can’t be stopped.
Tyler Breeze, one half of The Fashion Police. Calls out Mojo Rawley. The once hyped one answered. A quick match that was seemingly in the background of a Bobby Roode interview. Mojo lands a big Alabamaslama on Breeze for the win.
A double treat match. Moon still rising.
Finn Balor vs Drew McIntyre.
The match started of classically. Balor looking visually beaten attempting to use his quickness over Drew. However, McIntyre dominates Finn with his power. Every time Finn mounts an few set of offense. The Chosen One quickly disarms the threat. Eventually, Balor attempts a Coup De Grace. The vessel for The Demon King misses. Yet gets another chance. Dolph Ziggler at ringside, interferes. This leads to a disqualification of Drew. The two start to attack Finn. Seth Rollins runs for the save. Both Dolph and Drew attempt retreat. The Raw General manager, Kurt Angle stops them. The Olympic gold medalist restarts the match as a tag team match.
The restart.
After the restart and now a tag team match, a brawl ensues. Seth gains control and delivers a suicide dive on Drew and Ziggler. After a commercial break. We see the Balor now trying to tag in Seth. However, Drew refuses to let it happen. Ziggler is tagged in and continues the same plan. Eventually, Set gets a hot tag. Rollins lands a Blockbuster for a two count. The Architect winds up for a Super Kick on Drew. Ziggler interrupts. Which leads into a flurry and Seth lands a Curb Stomp on Ziggler for the pin.
Ember Moon vs Liv Morgan.
In the match of no consequences. Arguably, the brightest and athletic female WWE main roaster star. Ember Moon is going against Liv Morgan, again. Quick match, An angry Moon. Is a Bad Moon rising. Ember lands an Eclipse on Morgan for the win.
New rules for MITB contract. Only one will face Brock Lesnar.
Kevin Owens and Baron Corbin get their way.
Stephanie McMahon is about leave. She is intercepted by Kevin Owens, along with Baron Corbin. Owens states his case on situation. Kevin Owens proposes a match. The winner gains control over the Money In the Bank contract. No matter how it is won. Raw General Manger scoffs at the notion. However, Stephanie is intrigued by the concept and allows it.
Bobby Lashley vs Roman Reigns.
The winner will face Brock Lesnar at Summerslam. For the Universal Championship. The match started as a sizing of the behemoths. Eventually, Lashley gains control. Due do to Bobby’s strength and athleticism. He controls Roman throughout the match. Every time mounted some sort of offense, Bobby countered. The match waned on and you can see Lashley starting to sweat more.
Reigns found an opening and attempt to Superman punch Lashley. Bobby catches him and suplexed The Big dog. The fight is now outside. Lashley tosses Roman in the ring on Reigns neck.Lashely hits a spear for a two count! Roman lands a third Superman Punch and a spear for the win. Roman will now face Brock Lesnar for the Universal title, again.
Well, at least we had the announcement.
WWE finally giving the ladies of the WWE their own platform was long overdue. For decades. The ladies in the WWE ring were nothing but “eye candy”,”something to pass the time for the mens matches”, or just whatever that was not taken seriously. Now, they have the chance to inspire a new generation that did the same to them. On top of all that, Vince McMahon stayed quiet. Carefully not saying
Reigns winning again to face Brock… again. Is puzzling. I wager, Bobby Lashley will find his way in to that Summerslam match. Because, I really think we can’t stomach another Roman/Brock solo match again.
