Many‍ women on the WWE roster learned about Evolution 2 concurrently with the public announcement. Reportedly, onyl a select few top wrestlers and one wrestling legend were informed beforehand, with the legend possibly slated for an appearance at the event.

One concern raised by some wrestlers involves the show’s proximity to a Beyoncé ⁢concert. They fear⁢ this could‍ negatively impact ticket sales and inflate hotel prices. There’s a worry that ⁤a poorly performing Evolution 2‍ could be⁢ used by WWE as justification to avoid future all-women’s shows. This sentiment echoes past claims that the first Evolution event ⁤was “set up to fail.”

However, not all responses‍ were negative. One veteran wrestler expressed excitement about Evolution ⁣2, ‍hoping it will provide opportunities for women who don’t typically receive television exposure. This wrestler emphasized the importance of WWE actively promoting the show to ensure its success.

Underlying the less enthusiastic reactions are two primary issues. Many women wrestlers are ⁢reportedly dissatisfied with their recent‍ booking on regular WWE programming. Additionally, the lack of prior notification⁢ about⁤ Evolution 2, with most of⁣ the roster⁢ learning about it⁤ at ⁢the same time as⁢ the public, has caused some discontent.

What’s next

WWE now faces the ⁣challenge of addressing thes concerns and building momentum for Evolution 2. The company’s approach ⁤to promoting the event and showcasing its talent in the lead-up to⁢ July 13⁣ will be crucial⁣ in determining its success.
