When I came up here ten years ago, ain't nobody thought that I was going to be the defining moment in the business. And I am. I am the Intercontinental Champion. I am the greatest to ever do it. It's not just me saying it; other people say it. No, you can't call me Becky Hogan. Becky Hogan. I ain't Becky Hogan, I am Becky Freakin Lynch.

WWE Evolution 2025 Quick Highlights: List of All Winners, Top Performers, and More
Evolution 2025 (Image via WWE) Evolution 2025, the second edition of the all-women's professional wrestling pay-per-view event, was a night full of some exceptional performances from the women from all divisions of WWE . Female wrestling stars from the RAW, SmackDown, and NXT divisions made sure that this night, which was only for the women, is remembered for all the right reasons, and helps in advancing women's wrestling even more. The State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, lit up in all its glory, and it's all thanks to the women who have been the catalyst in taking women's wrestling to the next level. From an exciting three-way match for the Intercontinental Championship title between Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, and Becky Lynch to the chaotic fatal-4-way tag team championship match to a Battle Royale that saw wrestling greats come together for a shot at Class in Paris to the finale event between IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley , the night was filled with moments that had the fans thrilled. So now, let's take a look at all the winners and top performers of the night. Intercontinental Championship match In a fiery three-way match between Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, and Becky Lynch, the Intercontinental Championship belt was up for grabs. There were plenty of near falls and near wins, but one or the other kept interrupting before anyone could take the win. At the end, Lynch retained her title by pinning Bayley and getting the win. NXT Women's Championship match The audience was already fired up after the inaugural match before Jacy Jayne and Jordynne Grace entered the ring for the NXT Women's Championship title. While Grace looked to have the upper hand for most of the match, Jayne managed to take the win by using the belt as a weapon and using it on her opponent for a pinfall. And everyone saw Blake Monroe turn heel, right? WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way match Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss , Asuka and Kairi Sane, Sol Ruca and Zairi, and the current Tag team champions, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, put on an amazing show for the fans as the night of Evolution progressed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo It was the Judgement Day members, though, who managed to continue their tag team domination and retain their title by winning by pinfall. WWE Women's Championship match Tiffany Stratton and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus came together for an exciting showdown for the Women's Championship belt. Stratus challenged her one-time tag team partner - Stratton, the current title holder, for the championship. And while Stratton managed to retain her title by defeating Stratus, it was the latter who emerged as the star of the show, as the crowd cheered her on even after she lost the match. No Holds Barred match Jade Cargill and Naomi were going to be explosive and that's exactly what they brought into the ring. The weapons came in as soon as the match began and the rivals went at it, taking out all their anger and frustration at each other. Bianca Belair, the special guest referee, felt a little out of place, but the two opponents made sure that all eyes were on them. At the end, Cargill hit Naomi with a Jaded from the top rope through a table, and won the match via pinfall. Battle Royal With many wrestlers inside the ring, it was bound to get chaotic even before the match began. Nikki Bella , alongside Nia Jax and Stephanie Vaquer, were top contenders to win the match, and were actually the last four inside the ring alongside Lash. Finally, the win went to Vaquer, who used her Devil's Kiss to eliminate Lash at the end and win herself a shot at Clash in Paris in August. Women's World Championship match They really left the beat for the last, as IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley came together for a gruelling but classic match that had everyone guessing till the end. With moments of magic all through the fight, Ripley would have won the match had the referee not been knocked out. But the final twist came with Naomi cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase, and taking advantage of battered and bruised Ripley and SKY after a 26-minute-long bout. She threw Ripley out of the ring and did a split-legged moonsault on SKY for the pin and win.

Triple Threat Match Set for WWE Evolution 2
Becky Lynch will defend her Women's Intercontinental Championship against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria in a Triple Threat Match at WWE Evolution 2. The all-women's premium live event takes place on July 13 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. WWE had already announced six matches for the show, and now RAW General Manager Adam Pearce has added another high-stakes title bout to the card. Advertisement Pearce announced the match on X, formerly known as Twitter. He also revealed that Becky Lynch will appear live on the upcoming edition of WWE RAW at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island to discuss her triple threat match at Evolution 2. The rivalry for the Women's Intercontinental Title has grown intense since Lynch defeated Valkyria at Money in the Bank. Lynch has defended the title only once so far against Bayley which ended in a disqualification when Valkyria interfered. This led to a match between Bayley and Valkyria on RAW last week, which ended in a double pin. The match outcome led to a wild brawl all over the arena between the two. Now, with all three women set to battle for the title at WWE Evolution 2, it will be interesting to see what Lynch has to say ahead of the big match this weekend.

WWE Evolution predictions: Who wins titles, championship opportunity at all-women event?
Who will emerge victorious on a historic night in WWE? Evolution returns to WWE programming seven years after its first event, dedicating a premium live event to the women of the company. There's no denying the WWE women's division is one of the best in wrestling with a stacked roster from top to bottom. Evolution will allow all of the division's talent the chance to showcase their stuff, with both the main roster and NXT taking part in the night. It's not just a night celebrating the stars either, as there's championships and massive opportunities on the line for everyone involved. It's guaranteed to be an epic event, but with so many bright stars, it's tough to guess who will be the big winners. Advertisement USA TODAY Sports' wrestling reporters give their predictions for Evolution: Lyra Valkyria holds the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship over Becky Lynch during WWE Raw at CHI Health Center on May 5, 2025 in Omaha, Nebraska. Battle royal for championship match at Clash in Paris Jordan Mendoza: This is one of the few battle royal matches with actual intrigue just because the names involved. There's Hall of Famers, established stars and up-and-coming younger talent all looking for a title shot. I don't see any NXT talent winning this one, but rather one that just called up. Stephanie Vaquer is destined to be a mega star, and she starts her journey by eliminated Nikki Bella at the end to guarantee her shot. Winner: Stephanie Vaquer. Advertisement Richard Morin: Stephanie Vaquer is certainly the safe pick. She's got a ton of heat since joining the main roster and seems destined for a world championship program. The sleeper here has to be Bianca Belair (if she returns here). Since the winner gets a title match at Clash in Paris, a win would set her up to face Jade Cargill or even Naomi after the events of SummerSlam are settled. Winner: Stephanie Vaquer. No holds barred match: Jade Cargill vs. Naomi Jordan Mendoza: Odd that this feels like it will be much better than their WrestleMania match, but that's in part to Naomi turning it up a notch as Ms. Money in the Bank. The no disqualification actually favors Naomi, who will probably have plenty of tricks up her sleeve for her archrival. However, Cargill is still the powerhouse that can dominate her opponent. She's able to get past Naomi again, which frustrates Naomi and eventually leads to a clash between the two when Naomi tries to cash in the briefcase. Winner: Jade Cargill. Richard Morin: They can't slow Cargill's singles run now, and Naomi has the plot armor − the Money in the Bank briefcase − to survive a loss here. This feud will continue to build as the WWE Women's Championship starts to bleed into this rivalry. Winner: Jade Cargill. Advertisement Fatal four-way tag team match for WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Sol Ruca and Zaria vs. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) Jordan Mendoza: This one is so hard to pick because a legit case could be made for each team to win. Storyline wise, it makes sense for Rodriguez and Perez to continue their friendship with Liv Morgan out. Flair and Bliss are future Hall of Famers that bring up the title prestige. Ruca and Zaria are young stars that would make the most of the push. Asuka and Sane are elite wrestlers. Give it to the decorated stars and continue their odd friendship. Winner: Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Richard Morin: Rodriguez and Perez need to consolidate power here after the former inherited her half of the titles in wake of Liv Morgan's injury. The women's tag division has been stale to say the least, but I could see them wanting to build Rodriguez and Perez for Morgan's eventual return. Winners: Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Triple threat match for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria Jordan Mendoza: This really could be the main event of the night given it's by far the best storyline heading into the event. With two great former WWE champions in the ring, expect Valkyria to put on another exceptional performance that should give her more credibility to become a big-time star down the road. Still, Lynch has done so well as a heel, and she keeps it going by capitalizing on someone else's finisher and getting the pin. Winner: Becky Lynch. Richard Morin: The title is eventually coming home with Valkyria but it's ultimately the bad blood between her and Bailey that lets Lynch slip away with the title at Evolution. This feud will keep going to SummerSlam and perhaps beyond. Winner: Becky Lynch. NXT Women's Championship match: Jacy Jane (c) vs. Jordynne Grace Jordan Mendoza: For as much Jane has deserved to hold the title, the sad reality is that she is a transitional champion. Grace has been touted as a future WWE star ever since she appeared in the company with TNA Wrestling, and she takes the first step toward that with her first gold in the company. Winner: Jordynne Grace. Richard Morin: Following her shocking title win, Jane is really just keeping the title warm for the next champion. Grace takes the win and goes on to defeat Masha Slamovich at Slammiversary to win the TNA Knockouts World Championship and become a double champ. Winner: Jordynne Grace. WWE Women's Championship match: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Trish Stratus Jordan Mendoza: Imagine how great this match would be if they were both in their prime? Considering in-ring approach, Stratton is pretty much the Stratus of this generation and gets the battle of wrestling's best. Stratus will show us that she still has it, but this certainly feels like a "passing of the torch" moment for the champion. Winner: Tiffany Stratton. Richard Morin: This is a tricky one to predict because of the lack of build. Is it really just a one-off just to have Stratus compete at Evolution? Or is the friendly match a smokescreen covering for an eventual Naomi cash-in? Winner: Tiffany Stratton. Advertisement Women's World Championship match: Iyo Sky (c) vs. Rhea Ripley Jordan Mendoza: Everything turns to gold when Sky and Ripley are in the ring together. What's been unfortunate about Sky's reign as champion is she hasn't defended it, and she has to go against a woman that very well could capture it back. This will be the match of the night with all sorts of insane spots. Ripley has yet to get the best of Sky. That will remain the same in a triumphant victory for the "Genius of the Sky." Winner: Iyo Sky. Richard Morin: Sky hasn't defended her title in a televised match since WrestleMania 41. That's nearly three months of silence. Given that, it has to be Ripley finally getting over Sky as the show closes with Ripley holding the belt. Winner: Rhea Ripley. The biggest stories, every morning.

Bayley Returns On WWE RAW
Bayley is officially back. During Monday's episode of WWE RAW, Bayley returned, and sent a big message to Becky Lynch. Bayley's return came after a back-and-forth between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria. Advertisement Valkyria came down to the ring to face Lynch, and while Lynch was taunting her, Bayley ambushed the reigning WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion. Bayley laid in some punches to Lynch, then threw her out of the ring. Lynch ran into Valkyria, and quickly ran off before anything else could happen. For Bayley, it's the first time we've seen her since Lynch attacked her at WWE WrestleMania 41. Lynch's attack allowed her to team up with Valkyria, and they promptly won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships the night after. After that, Lynch would subsequently attack Valkyria after the pair lost the titles. While it's unknown exactly what Bayley will be up to, her intent seems clear. With Lynch also now having a singles title to go after, Bayley seems ready to immediately throw herself into the picture.
