In an interview with Denise Salcedo, Charlotte Flair was asked about the Evolution 2 rumors. She said, 'I really don't know. I really don't know. I hope it does. Like, I hear all these rumors, so I mean, it's been, you know, a couple of years, so I think it would be a good time to, So. But I think overall, really, it's just more about having more women storylines and more women main events. So whether we have Evolution 2 or not, I think it's just, overall, we need that regardless.'

'No, I think it's been great, especially seeing the three women that you mentioned. They all had prior experience, to where, like, I think a few of the girls that were on TV didn't. It goes in waves, right? You have girls that are athletes hired or just people that made tryouts. Then you bring in girls that, you know, had experience in Japan, Mexico, and Europe, like Jordan, Stephanie, and Giulia. So I just think having those waves of inexperience and experience, and then, you know, having Tiffany come up a year ago, having Roxanne come up, Sol Ruca winning the speed title, I think it's great. I think it's just maybe hard right before Mania, but after Mania, you know, you might see more girls come up. So I think it's great.'

Why Fans Think Triple H Could Be Leaving WWE
Amid recent exits and contracts ending, fans are wondering whether Triple H could be the next major name leaving WWE. With multiple superstars, including R-Truth, Carlito, and Valhalla, parting ways with the company, and TKO's leadership, particularly The Rock, playing an increasingly visible role, speculation is circulating about backstage tensions. Is Triple H leaving WWE soon? As of now, it isn't officially confirmed whether Triple H is leaving WWE anytime soon. Advertisement In recent weeks, longtime fan-favorites R-Truth, Carlito, and Valhalla confirmed that their WWE contracts won't be renewed. The news shocked many, especially R-Truth's exit, which struck a nerve with loyal viewers. These cuts aren't isolated. They're part of a pattern ever since WWE merged with UFC under TKO Group. Fans see them as cold, corporate decisions, far removed from the kind of wrestling-first approach Triple H is known for. Moreover, according to reports from Dave Meltzer, it was Triple H who made the final call on R-Truth and Carlito's exits. That decision has left people wondering whether he is acting out of personal conviction. The alternative theory is that he's under serious pressure from the new regime. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently voiced a theory that's gaining traction: Triple H could be the next one out. On his Coach & Bro podcast, Russo speculated that frustration with TKO and The Rock's growing influence might push Triple H to leave WWE. 'What if Triple H is the one who says, 'You won't what? Making me cut people. Making me walk around with a smile on my face when The Rock waltzes in and takes over anytime he wants.'' Russo emphasized that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are financially secure, suggesting they don't need WWE to sustain their lifestyle. He also shared that when you're inside the machine, sometimes 'all the money in the world doesn't matter.'
