WWE Evolution 2025 has arrived. Who wins each of the seven matches on the card?
Here are my predictions.
Jordynne Grace vs. Jacy Jayne (c) – NXT Women’s Title
Will it be Grace or Jayne that faces TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich in a Winner-Take-All Match at Slammiversary? Grace was rumored to be joining the WWE main roster with Stephanie Vaquer, but she’s still in NXT. For that reason, she’s the best choice to be the next NXT Women’s Champion, and her first rival is likely going to be Blake Monroe depending on how things unfold in their tag team match at Great American Bash.
– Winner: Jordynne Grace
Jade Cargill vs. Naomi – No Holds Barred Match
Is this where the Money in the Bank winner loses again, and then follows it up by winning one of the titles? Naomi cashing in on Cargill at SummerSlam is a popular prediction, even if it is predictable. And with Cargill already earning the opportunity to challenge Tiffany Stratton or Trish Stratus, does she really need the win? No matter what your answer is to that question, I think she’s doing just that.
– Winner: Jade Cargill
20-Woman Battle Royal
I assume WWE is keeping this at 20, and if so, we already know all the participants. The thought was that maybe they would add some legends to the mix, but Nikki Bella is the only one in the match as it stands now, and she is likely one of the favorites to win the whole thing. The other intriguing option is Stephanie Vaquer, who would make sense for a variety of reasons, especially with the winner earning a world title match at Clash in Paris. The long shot choice is Jaida Parker, who is in position for a bigger role in the NXT women’s division. Nikki clearly had a bigger feud planned with Liv Morgan, and with her sidelined due to injury, it’s possible they could substitute Rhea in that spot.
– Winner: Nikki Bella
Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Asuka and Kairi Sane vs. Sol Ruca and Zaria vs. Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez (c) – Women’s Tag Team Titles
We can probably eliminate Ruca and Zaria due to another miscommunication issue. The Kabuki Warriors are in a better position to challenge for the titles coming out of this show. That leaves either the champs or the surprisingly effective duo of Charlotte and Bliss. I like the chemistry between these two, and having them on multiple shows could be what WWE wants. But there is so much to work with for Judgment Day with Rodriguez and Perez as champs, so they’re the choice.
– Winners: Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez
Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Becky Lynch (c) – Triple Threat Match for Women’s Intercontinental Title
I don’t really see a scenario where Lynch loses. I’ve made the argument that she’s doing some of the best work of her career right now, and that includes the legendary run to the WrestleMania 35 main event. Valkyria is coming into her own, and once she snaps on Bayley, that should give her even more of a boost.
– Winner: Becky Lynch
Trish Stratus vs. Tiffany Stratton (c) – WWE Women’s Title
This is the easiest to predict on the show, but it should deliver since Trish usually does when she returns. Stratton vs. Cargill is the play for SummerSlam, so she’s going to earn the win. But a potential Naomi cash-in could factor into the aftermath, which could add a little more suspense.
– Winner: Tiffany Stratton
Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY (c) – Women’s World Title
The story is that Rhea has never been able to beat Sky. She has to do it at some point, and what better spot than Evolution? Sky has barely defended her title since retaining it in what is still WWE’s match of the year at WrestleMania 41, and doing Rhea vs. Vaquer at Clash In Paris would be quite the showdown. Mami is back on top.
– Winner: Rhea Ripley
