More names confirmed for WWE Evolution

According to a report on PW Insider, the following NXT stars are confirmed to be in attendance and likely wrestling on the card in some capacity at Evolution:

• Bianca Belair
• Candice LeRae
• Dakota Kai
• Marina Shafir
• Jessamyn Duke

The first three names are not a surprise. All are regular acts on NXT television and would be expected to appear on a show that WWE has promised 50 of its female performers will compete on.

Former MMA fighters Shafir and Duke, both members of the MMA Four Horsewomen, are perhaps more unexpected. Neither has yet wrestled on NXT television and both only have a handful of house show matches under their belts.

Other names confirmed for Evolution on October 28 include Ronda Rousey, Sasha Banks (if she is back from injury), Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Bayley (who is teasing a match with Hall of Famer Ivory), Michelle McCool, Carmella, Asuka, Nia Jax, Rhe Ripley, Beth Phoenix and The Bellas.

Matches already confirmed for the show are:

Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Baszler
Alexa Bliss vs. Trish Stratus
Mickie James vs. Lita
Mae Young Classic Final
