With the recent news of Asuka's upcoming return, the possibilities for this historic event have become even more interesting, adding another layer of anticipation to the women's division. Loved by fans and highly respected by her peers, the wrestling world patiently awaited the return to the ring of "The Empress of Tomorrow", a prominent Superstar who is considered by many to be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. A Grand Slam Champion with a unique style and top-level in-ring skills, Asuka’s absence from WWE-TV was very noticeable. She arrived in the company as a charismatic submission master, and later embraced a more comedic style while still utilizing her superb wrestling talent. This transformation makes Asuka appealing to wrestling fans of all types. Last seen tag teaming with Kairi Sane as the Kabuki Warriors in the Damage CTRL faction, Asuka is a top name and one of the aspects of WWE that keeps fans talking- and when it comes to the show now, where there’s talk, there’s the potential for higher viewership numbers.
Women's wrestling consistently ranks as my blog's most popular content, and as I wrote in a blog post last month, television networks are actively scouting for high-quality, female-based competition that can deliver viewership and excitement- and recent data shows a clear upward trend in audience engagement for these types of events. All of this highlights the lasting and extensive interest in this aspect of the industry globally. The return of Evolution is not just a domestic event; it carries international significance, acknowledging the various forms of women's wrestling that are thriving worldwide.
This new Evolution offers WWE a major opportunity to showcase the depth of its current women's roster across both Raw and SmackDown. It's a chance to give opportunities to newer talent and demonstrate the continued evolution of their female competitors. For fans, it's an exciting promise that they will witness an entire card dedicated exclusively to the in-ring skills, athleticism, and charisma of these women.
Since originally writing this post, the exciting news has been announced regarding Asuka's confirmed return, prompting a significant revision of my suggested card to reflect the possibilities for Evolution 2025 and to account for key talent dynamics. The official card is yet to be announced, but I think interesting matches to see would be Asuka versus Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus versus Charlotte Flair, Bayley versus IYO SKY (bad blood remains between the two of them), Rhea Ripley versus Natalya, Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax (a reunion of a long-standing rivalry), Nikki Bella & Kairi Sane versus Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan, Jade Cargill versus Naomi (although they are currently feuding, they have had only one singles match with each other), and Tiffany Stratton versus Zelina Vega
In an age when women wrestlers take center stage with their matches often either being in the main event or the one that fans are talking about the next day, the return of WWE Evolution is a verification of the importance of women's wrestling and a testament to its growing global appeal. It's a platform where history will be made again, and a moment to celebrate the incredible talent that continues to shape the industry.
