<div _ngcontent-c14 = "" innerhtml = "

WWE Evolution 2018 is headlined by Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella, Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch and a tag team A Hall of Famers in Trish Stratus and Lita.

The groundbreaking event is one of the most important women's wrestling events in the world. It's also known as the first step in the women's evolution, which has been defined in recent years, including the first-ever women's Money in the Bank, Elimination Chamber and Royal Rumble Matches.

As such a unprecedented PPV show, Evolution can and should be a newsworthy show that continues the trend of the women's division delivering big surprises, which we've seen plenty of in 2018, like when Asuka's undefeated streak came to an end, Rousey signed a full-time deal with WWE or we witnessed the inaugural 30-woman rumble. WWE loves to "make history" these days, especially when it comes to a women 's division that has had a plethora of memorable moments over the past few years.

Look for that trend to continue at a rate of change that could have a feature of shocking surprises that will have long-term ramifications on the women's division.

The Introduction Of Women's Tag Team Titles And / Or The Announcement Of A Women's Only Show

Stephanie McMahon is rumored to be making a blockbuster announcement at Evolution, and many fans believe that it will be the introduction of women's tag team titles.

Indeed, McMahon said, "I have a lot of speculation about the creation of women's tag team titles." Of course, many fans believe that this is the perfect stage for the announcement of the highly anticipated women's tag team titles, but that's not the only potential game-changing announcement that could take place at the event.

There have been widespread rumors that the evolution of the world is a precursor to WWE's ultimate goal of creating a full-fledged women's brand in the same mold as 205 Live. Certainly, WWE 's women' s roster is deep and talented enough to have both tag and title titles and an exclusive show, and it 's likely that the creation of one would be directly linked to the other. If WWE plans on creating women 's tag team titles, it will be necessary to have a women' s presence, and if WWE is moving forward with a women 's only show.

Thus, look for WWE to drop a message from McMahon that could be two-fold: The creation of tag team titles are more than a women's exclusive show on the WWE Network.

A Four Horsewomen Reunion

Rumors have run rampant for the last year on WWE's potentially reuniting the Four Horsewomen, both its own version and the Rousey-led version from MMA.

Now that all of Four Horsewomen's MMA's, including Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke, have been confirmed for Rousey, Shafir, Duke and Shayna Baszler to formally join forces on a major WWE show. Although it looks like the recent turn of Lynch will prevent a Four Horsewomen Vs. Four Horsewomen's Dreams, which is likely to have been rumored in the past, are likely to prevent WWE from uniting Rousey's 4HW as a means of increasing interest in the happenings in the women's division.

Shafir and Duke have reportedly been blowing people away with how quickly they have progressed as pro wrestlers, and the possible expansion of women's clothing has become necessary. With the potential drawing power of MMA's Four Horsewomen taking over a team of WWE's top female superstars, WWE could have a big money match at some point on the road to WrestleMania.

But we are going to have a lot of things to do in the future, maybe we're going to get together, perhaps at Evolution, especially amidst reports that we could get a battle between the two sets of Four Horsewomen at WrestleMania 35, after all.

A Heel Turn For Sasha Banks Or Bayley

Sasha Banks and Bayley will be teaming up with Natalya to take over the Riott Squad at the end of the day.

Two of the most popular stars in the company, Banks and Bayley have a lot to do in the past year. The ultimate goal of this rivalry, ideally Banks, who is a much more natural villain. However, when Bayley infamously attacked Banks on Raw this summer, it was reportedly supposed to be a hit for "The Hugger," though the lack of follow-up to it suggested WWE really had no idea where it was going.

Both Banks and Bayley still ranks among WWE's most likable performers despite the shoddy booking, but their on-and-off "frenemies" storyline has gone on for so long turn heel. Raw, after all, could be used as part of a larger group, while both Bayley and Banks would like to change their position.

With the bright lights of Evolution shining down on them during their match against The Riott Squad, which would continue WWE's recent obsession with major heels after stars like the Bella Twins, Bobby Lashley and Becky Lynch recently moved to the dark side.

Becky Lynch Loses The SmackDown Women's Title

Becky Lynch is the clear betting favorite to defeat Charlotte Flair in the first-ever Last Woman Standing Match, but we have seen in the past with Flair's title feuds, WWE often likes to play a game of hot potato with the championship she's pursuing .

Prior to the current rivalry with Lynch, Flair's most famous feud was with Sasha Banks on Raw in 2016, when these stars made up the title. With Flair and Lynch now in the spotlight of the SmackDown Women's Championship picture and other stars in the world Lynch that lasts well into next year.

If that's the case, WWE will probably change the name of the game. There is, after all, one of the best rivals in recent WWE history and one that is still red hot. But for the future, it would certainly make sense to win, which would have been a success. -tying eighth title reign for arguably the most accomplished female performer in history.

More, with Lynch apparently dealing with a "cracked jaw," it's possible that it will be possible to get rid of it in the future.

The Return Of AJ Lee

WWE already has confirmed Evolution appearances from many of the biggest female stars in WWE history, including Trish Stratus, Lita and Beth Phoenix.

One of the most influential young women in the world, but one of the most influential young women in the world. Despite Lee appearing to move on from the wrestling and the fact that she's married to CM Punk (and there's obviously a lot of bad blood between Punk and WWE), rumors began circulating this year that Lee would be "open to the idea" of coming back for Evolution while Nikki Bella is expressing her desire for Lee to be at the pay-per-view.

WWE, of course, is more likely to be a major shocker than Lee, who actually has surprisingly high 15/1 odds to win the Evolution battle royal at one point , returning to the company after the last appearance inside the squared circle. Especially given the animosity between Punk and WWE and the Lee's open criticism of the company, it would take a substantial effort to mend the fences between the two sides, making it extremely unlikely that Lee will appear at Evolution.

However, given the unlikely results we've seen in WWE recently, we've seen nothing from the Goldberg to the Ultimate Warrior, nothing is impossible, we've got a lot of obstacles preventing us from coming back.
