Internal Reactions To WWE Evolution 2 (Patreon)

WWE Evolution 2 is official, and we’ve gained some reactions from within the company. 

The initial announcement was largely rumored, but almost every member of the WWE women’s roster told us that they officially learned of the show when it was announced publicly. There were some exceptions, with at least some top talent, and one legend being made aware of the show, with said legend possibly being booked.

The reaction internally was actually mixed. There were some on the roster who understand what the show means, but took exception with the “curtain call” element of the first show, noting that it wasn’t something WWE would have had men on the roster do. Another said that if the show underperforms against a Beyonce concert next door and hotel prices likely increased, it’ll be used as the catalyst to justify not doing it again. 

One top talent we spoke with felt like the company has too many PLEs as is, and isn’t quite sure what they’ll do here.

One veteran expressed their excitement and said hopefully many of the women that don’t get used often get an opportunity to shine. They also said they’re hoping that legends can be integrated with the newer talent to help build things. The talent specified WWE has to help build it for it to be a success. 

There was certainly less excitement regarding this show, but much of that had to do with the general booking for the majority of the division of late and the manner of which the roster found out.
