Stephanie McMahon Explains Lack Of WWE Evolution PPV In 2019

WWE announcing its first ever women’s match in Saudi Arabia earlier today has sparked some discussion regarding the lack of all-women’s pay-per-view this year.

In an interview with Bleacher Report, Stephanie McMahon explained:

“We did consider it. A lot of our focus has been on having this particular match as a part of this PPV in Saudi Arabia. More to come on Evolution but it’s most likely not going to happen in 2019.”

The bout at Crown Jewel tomorrow will see Lacey Evans take on Natalya, and Stephanie McMahon explained the reasoning behind picking this particular match:

“Natayla is somewhat of a legend in the women’s division. She is the veteran. She has been here for so long, been a part of so many of the changes that have happened. When you consider her legacy and family history, it’s pretty remarkable.

“You take Lacey Evans, who is fairly new on the scene but who has not been shy about sharing her perspective on overcoming, especially in her life and the things she’s been through. She has a young daughter and she wants to set an example and pave the way not only for her daughter but boys and girls all around the world. That’s their personal stories.

“I can’t think of better representatives for WWE. You can go on their social media. They’ve made some pretty awesome statements. Lacey Evans said ‘I never thought I’d have the opportunities to do the things I’ve done with WWE. Tomorrow I get to show my  little girl that hard work can bring you to history-making heights. I’m ready for this.'”
