On wanting another Evolution PPV:

“Yes. Why not? Like we were just saying, there’s so many women,. So the thing about the first one was we had so many girls from NXT for one, which they got to showcase on a bigger stage. But they had so many women from the past. It’s kind of like the first few [women’s Royal] Rumbles, a lot of women from the past because we didn’t have enough women to fill up these matches. But like, now we do. And I think it would be so cool to give everybody on Raw and everybody on SmackDown a part of that show, Evolution 2.

You can bring girls in from NXT. You can bring girls in — we just saw Jordynne Grace on NXT. TNA girls, whatever that connection is there, we can bring different girls in. You can bring someone in from the past, like if they’re up for it, to do a little something. But we have such a stacked roster right now where it’s like, we can hold down a show on our own, another PLE on our own. And it’s been so many years where it’s not like it’s something we have to do every year where we’re kind of like, ‘All right. We’ve seen it enough times,’ but I think it’s time because it is a different era compared to back then.”

Surely if theirs plenty of TNA girls in there and hopefully the young NXT ladies further develop then I'm all for it.

Shit the girls they supposedly signed this week could be booked on the majority of that card.

They have a roster deep enough to justify it. I wouldn’t be against a second one.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but the first one didn’t do that well, right? That’s why there’s been so much hesitation to do another one

It was on the Network so no buys to go off or anything and I don't see where any viewership was mentioned. Attendance is 10k on wiki, that seems fine if true, especially bc they had a PPV that only did like 5k that same year

It sounds familiar but I can't exactly think of why off the top of my head, especially after what Chris added on.

Obviously being on the network you’re not gonna have a buy rate to brag about but I meant more so how the show was perceived critically.

Without looking it up, I believe Ronda and Nikki was the main event and outside of Ronda being awesome during this first run, I don’t recall anyone saying special about this show

Oh critically I think it was well liked, I remember the top two matches for sure were. I think the only issues were some presentation didn't really seem WWE quality, it was kinda house showey

It had the Becky/Charlotte match which was really well received.

And looking at it I was thrown off for a second.

I thought Evolution was 2019. So when Dale mentioned Charlotte vs Becky, I was like wait a minute. That happened after they tried to turn Becky heel.
