One of those female WWE superstars is set to compete at the all-women's Premium Live Event, WWE Evolution II, set to take place on July 13 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. However, following weeks of speculation, her role for the show was revealed, and it was not what many expected.
Which ex-girlfriend of John Cena will compete at WWE Evolution II?
On the July 7th edition of Monday Night RAW, John Cena's longtime ex-girlfriend
appeared in a vignette. She spoke about her return weeks ago and how being attacked by Liv Morgan gave her perspective.
The Fearless One wanted to prove her worth to the fans and show her son, Matteo, what the WWE Universe has seen for years: rise to the top of the heap.
Bella stated that she would be entering the Women's Battle Royal at WWE Evolution II. The winner of the match would receive a Women's Championship match at WWE's forthcoming Premium Live Event, Clash in Paris. The WWE Hall of Famer ended her segment by saying that she wanted that opportunity to once again become champion in the global juggernaut.
However, this came as a disappointing booking for Nikki Bella. Ever since she returned to Monday Night RAW a few weeks ago, she was speculated to feud with Liv Morgan. However, those plans were scrapped after she got injured. There were rumors that Brie Bella would return to team up with Nikki to challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team titles, but that did not happen either.
Instead, WWE chose to book a top star for a lackluster match at a historic night at WWE Evolution II. While the decision is final, it will be interesting to see if it's Nikki Bella who will be next in line to challenge for the WWE Women's Championship in Paris.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 Day 2 Full Predictions: Is John Cena losing the Title, The Rock ‘Final Boss' Arrival, and More
Images via WWE: Cody Rhodes, John Cena and The Rock Night 2 of WWE 's first-ever two-night SummerSlam promises nonstop action, headlined by John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes in a street fight for the Undisputed Title. Naomi defends her Women's World Title against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky in a Triple Threat. Other major bouts include Solo Sikoa vs. Jacob Fatu in a steel cage for the U.S. Title, Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria in a last-chance no-DQ match for the Women's Intercontinental Title, and AJ Styles challenging Dominik Mysterio for the men's IC title. Plus, six teams clash in a chaotic 12-man TLC match for the Tag Team Championship. So, let's put on the predictions hat and see what can happen on Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025. WWE Championship Street Fight: John Cena (c) vs. Cody Rhodes This might be one of the most unpredictable matches WWE has booked in years. With John Cena halfway through his retirement tour, and doing it as a heel, there's real intrigue around how it all ends. Will he go out as the hero, turning face one last time as teased on SmackDown when he vowed to show the "real John Cena" at SummerSlam? Or is that all a mind game to throw Cody Rhodes off in the biggest match of his life? There's also a wild-card theory: Rhodes could shock everyone by aligning with a returning Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, turning heel in the process and fully embracing his role as his champion, but in a far darker way. This can come true, especially after he was seen wearing the same sunglasses The Rock once wore. Adding fuel to the fire, Rhodes recently hinted that the offer is still on the table, suggesting an alliance with The Rock could still happen. That said, it's still hard to see Rhodes losing to Cena again after already falling short at WrestleMania 41. One loss was believable and was a necessary step in helping Cena win his 17th WWE Championship. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When Knee Pain Hits, Start Eating These Foods, and Feel Your Pain Go Away (It's Genius) Click Here Undo However, a second would chip away at the momentum Rhodes has built since toppling Roman Reigns and becoming the top 'babyface'. Creatively and from a business perspective, Rhodes is the clear choice. WWE has invested heavily in making him the guy, and now they need to double down. As for Cena, the focus should be on celebrating his final chapter. He can still deliver memorable moments without standing in the way of the future. Regardless of which path he takes, it seems likely that 'The American Nightmare' will walk out of SummerSlam as a two-time WWE Champion. The only question now is: which version of Rhodes will the WWE Universe get? Prediction- Cody Rhodes beats John Cena to win the WWE Championship Women's World Championship Triple Threat: Naomi (c) vs. Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley After cashing in her Money in the Bank contract to close out Evolution 2, Naomi has dominated the Raw women's division, including her SummerSlam challengers, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. As the trio prepares to settle their rivalry in a Triple Threat match, Naomi enters as the unpredictable favorite, with many fans backing her to retain her Women's World title. Still, Ripley and Sky are top-tier babyfaces. Ripley, in particular, has never beaten Sky and will be hungry to change that. Triple Threats are especially risky for champions, as Naomi doesn't need to be pinned to lose her title. That said, Naomi thrives in chaos, as recently evident from her heel run. Her opportunism was visible in the brutal No Holds Barred match against Jade Cargill and the same-night cash-in, giving her the edge. If Ripley and Sky focus too much on each other, Naomi could easily sneak a win and continue her red-hot run. Prediction- Naomi retains her Women's World title against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky No DQ, No Count-Out Women's Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lyra Valkyria This feud has elevated the Women's Intercontinental title, but it's time for Lyra Valkyria to get her crowning moment. 'The Lady Bird' has earned it and proved that she belongs among the elites. Therefore, she needs the win to cement her status as a star. Moreover, Lynch already has a singles victory over her at Money in the Bank, where Valkyria was forced to raise the Irishwoman's hand to admit that she is better. With the former multiple-time world champion at risk of becoming a nostalgia act, wrestling fans will be hoping that she puts Valkyria over. WWE can't afford to waste this opportunity and should capitalize on promoting a sure-shot mainstay of the women's division. Prediction- Lyra Valkyria beats Becky Lynch to win the Women's Intercontinental title Six-Pack TLC WWE Tag Team Championship Match This match could truly steal the entire show. After chaos erupted during Andrade and Rey Fenix's title shot on SmackDown, GM Nick Aldis made it official: a Six-Pack TLC Match for the WWE Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam. While teams like Fraxiom or Andrade & Fenix could earn their first title win, fans expect the Wyatt Sicks to retain. Every team in this match has either held the titles or been close, making SummerSlam the likely climax of the tag division's six-month chaos. Back at WrestleMania 41, the Street Profits won a classic TLC bout, only to lose the gold to the Wyatt Sicks on July 11. With just over 20 days as champions and only two months back on TV, it's too soon for the Wyatt Sicks to drop the titles. A loss now could stall their momentum and damage their standing in the tag division. So, it is important that they walk out of New Jersey as the title holders. Prediction- The Wyatt Sicks retain their SmackDown Tag Team Titles United States Championship Steel Cage Match: Solo Sikoa (c) vs. Jacob Fatu The Bloodline Saga is now in its 5th straight year and will see Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu clash in a Steel Cage match for the United States Championship at SummerSlam. It is surely a high-stakes rematch after Sikoa dethroned Fatu at Night of Champions with help from Tonga Loa and Talla Tonga. For the unversed, Fatu won the title at WrestleMania 40 against LA Knight, giving his former stable its first singles gold and sparking tension with Sikoa. Things unraveled quickly with Fatu losing trust in Sikoa and costing him the Money in the Bank ladder match. Now, with no allies allowed inside the cage, Sikoa faces his former brother-in-arms in a battle fueled by betrayal. And it seems that WWE will not risk taking off the title too soon from Sikoa, considering it is his first single belt on the main roster. But Fatu rarely loses in singles competition, and a surprise assist from Jimmy or even Jey Uso could shift the odds. Prediction- Solo Sikoa beats Jacob Fatu to retain his United States Championship Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. AJ Styles Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio is set to defend his crown against AJ Styles in what has been a fun feud to begin with. Though 'Dirty Dom' blindsided Styles on the July 21 episode of RAW and were scheduled to face each other at Night of Champions, the two will finally settle things at SummerSlam. Despite Styles' recent buzz from his TNA Slammiversary appearance, Mysterio's momentum is stronger, especially after receiving a massive pop at AAA. Moreover, his in-ring skill and persona have improved considerably, so the promotion will likely back him to retain his crown. On the other hand, Styles is nearing the end of his in-ring career after signing a one-year WWE extension, and the IC title is the missing piece in the puzzle of his illustrious run. But Mysterio remains one of the hottest names in WWE, drawing heat or cheers wherever he goes. Simply put, a loss won't hurt Styles, but ending Mysterio's reign now would kill his momentum. Prediction- Dominick Mysterio beats AJ Styles to retain his Intercontinental title Also read: Seth Rollins Stuns CM Punk with Another 'Heist of the Century' to Capture World Heavyweight Title at SummerSlam 2025 For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.

'Nothing Kills Business Like...': Dominik Mysterio Hits Back At CM Punk After WWE Unreal Revelation
Last Updated: Dominik rebuttal came in swift fashion as he stated that Punk's unsuccessful stints outside the sport-entertainment business was more of a threat to the business. WWE wrestler Dominik Mysterio hit back at CM Punk over the latter's comments about the storyline relationship between Dominik and Rhea Ripley exposing the business as fake. Punk had opined that people would find it difficult to warm up to the pairing considering Ripley looks like a 'Greek Goddess', while Dominik, 'a nerd'. 'Dude, one time they wanted her to be in a relationship with Dominik Mysterio," Punk said on WWE's new behind the scenes show Unreal. 'Stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life," Ripley interjected. 'Who is going to believe that?" Punk continued. 'Hey, everybody, here is a Greek goddess of a woman here and she's with this f****** nerd," he joked. 'C'mon. That exposes the business as fake more than anything we are going to do on Netflix, because who is going to believe that b*******?" the wrestler stated. Dominik rebuttal came in swift fashion as he stated that Punk's unsuccessful stints outside the sport-entertainment business was more of a threat to the business. 'Nothing kills the business more than someone thinking they are actually good enough to go fight in the UFC and get their ass beat not once but twice," Dominik, the son of the legendary Rey Mysterio said. 'If you want to talk about 'nothing kills the business more,' just go watch CM Punk's fights in the UFC," he continued. 'You tell me what kills the business more. Let me call my friend Mickey Gall real quick and see what he thinks," Dominik added. Punk got the better of Gunther to clinch the World Heavyweight Championship on Day 1 of WWE Summerslam on Sunday, but his joy was shortlived as Seth Rollins' perfectly orchestrated ruse helped him successfully cash in his Money In The Bank title in dramatic fashion as he levelled Punk in amatter of seconds. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
