WWE Evolution 2025 Results, Winners And Highlights
Becky Lynch Def. Bayley And Lyra Valkyria
Fans went wild as soon as the bell rang, and the women in the ring worked the crowd to get even more energy. This encapsulated the chip-on-the-shoulder vibes for this women’s pay-per-view during a busy weekend for wrestling.
Lyra Valkyria once again shined, but Bayley and Becky Lynch matched her every step of the way. The story of this match was being one step ahead of two opponents, like a Chess match on speed.
Becky Lynch vultured the victory after Lyra Valkyria did all the heavy lifting. I feel like Lyra would benefit more from a heel turn than Bayley, who is nearly impossible to boo.
Becky Lynch vs. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria Grade: B+
Jacy Jayne Def. Jordynne Grace
Blake Monroe cornered Jordynne Grace, who was a very popular with the Atlanta crowd. I had a sneaky feeling about this.
Michael Cole repeated a Vic Joseph line by saying Jacy Jayne is the “most beatable NXT women’s champion in history.” Wade Barrett was having none of it, and put over Jacy Jayne like a million dollars.
Jayne worked over Grace’s neck as fans rallied behind Grace. Grace kicked out of a nearfall at the last possible millisecond and State Farm exploded.
Fatal Influence interfered on the outside, but Blake Monroe evened the odds. After wiping out Jayne’s cornerwomen, Monroe “accidentally” struck Jordynne Grace with the NXT Women’s Title. Jacy picked up the win, and Monroe’s accident was revealed to be a heel turn.
Jacy Jayne vs. Jordynne Grace Grade: B
Judgment Day Def. The Kabuki Warriors, Sol Ruca And Zaria And Charlotte Flair And Alexa Bliss
Sol Ruca and Zaria got a strong pop considering their lack of exposure on the main roster.
Charlotte Flair was lightly booed while walking to the ring, and based on the look Charlotte gave the crowd, that did not fall upon deaf ears.
During their entrance, Bliss and Flair were playing up the fact that they were starting to get along.
Raquel Rodriguez dominated early as the announce team compared her to Chyna and Beth Phoenix.
Fans chanted “We want Charlotte,” which was great to hear given how vulnerable she’s been in interviews this week. Charlotte Flair got the hottest of hot tags and exploded on Judgment Day.
Sol Ruca cut off Charlotte’s comeback with an excellent Sol Snatcher. Charlotte moved Bliss out of the way as Zaria accidentally speared Sol Ruca. Flair and Bliss got even closer. “This is awesome!” “Holy s—t!”
Raquel ended the match with a Tejana Bomb on Sol Ruca for the win.
Women’s Fatal 4-Way Grade: B+
Tiffany Stratton Def. Trish Stratus
Trish Stratus got the bigger babyface ovation during the ring introductions, but it was close.
Fans chanted “Tiffy Time” as the match began, but Stratton was booed as she dominated the opening moments of the match.
Stratus hit an impressive Stratusphere headstand from the apron to the outside.
Stratton came back like a house afire. She punctuated her offense with a Swanton Bomb where Stratton tucked her head at the last second.
Stratton came back again with a Stratusphere in the ring followed by a Chick Kick for a nearfall.
After blocking the PME, Trish Stratus scored with the Stratusfaction for a nearfall. Stratton won the match with an Alabama Slam followed by a PME.
Tiffany Stratton vs. Trish Stratus Grade: B+
Jade Cargill Def. Naomi
This brawl began fast and furious. When the action spilled to the outside, Naomi hit a dropkick against the announce desk and pyro went off. The spot looked cool, but it seemed like even more pyro should have went off. Fand chanted “Holy s—t!”
A concerned Bianca Belair asked Jade Cargill if she wanted to keep going, which she did. Naomi rewarded Jade’s decision by jabbing her rface into the table legs. Fans gasped in horror.
With chair in hand, Naomi shoved Cargill off the apron and through a table. Jade somehow stayed in the fight and battled Naomi on the top rope. Cargill hit an awesome Jaded from the top rope through a table. Awesome match.
Bianca Belair raised Jade Cargill’s hand, and she did a great job showing how conflicted she was about seeing her two friends fight.
Jade Cargill vs. Naomi Grade: A-

Kelani Jordan got the Kofi spot where she landed on the announce table. The former gymnast did a handstand back to the ring, where she literally pulled her self up by her boots to get back into the match.
Fans chanted “La Primera” as well as “Nikki Bella!” Stephanie Vaquer brawled with Giulia in what was billed as the future of women’s wrestling.
A first Devil’s Kiss attempt was broken up by Chelsea Green. Massive heat. Fans later got their wish with a Devil’s Kiss on Chelsea Green.
Michael Cole accidentally called Candice LeRae Candace Michelle. This is not the first time he’s done that.
Alba Fyre dove through the bottom rope to save Chelsea Green from getting eliminated while on the apron. It was a great spot.
Nikki Bella and Lola Vice were shaking their hips in the middle of the ring, and Wade Barrett encouraged Michael Cole to show them what he’s got.
After a shocking Nikki Bella elimination from Lash Legend, Legend, Jax and Vaquer were the Final 3. Legend immediately hoisted Jax and attempted to throw her over the top rope.
Legend and Vaquer worked together to eliminate Jax. Vaquer hit the Devil’s Kiss on Legend on the apron and eliminated her. Incredible finish.
After being asked a question by Stephanie McMahon Spanish, Stephanie Vaquer cut a superstar promo after the match.
Women’s Battle Royal: A
Naomi Cashes In MITB Briefcase, Wins World Title
Fans were split after the bell rang with dueling chants for Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. The announcers described this match as a “Must win” for Rhea.
Iyo played mind games with Rhea early on, using her signature taunt to get in Rhea’s head. After a brief exchange, Ripley mocked Iyo right back. Half the crowd booed this chess move.
Both babyfaces loudly professed their respect for one another before throwing hands again.
Iyo Sky dominated Ripley since she has her number, but Rhea rebounded. Ripley dropped Iyo Sky on the top rope and Sky bounced dangerously off the ropes to the mat. Iyo Sky battled back with a spinning DDT as both women laid out for the “This is awesome” chant.
Ripley tried to tuck and roll into a rollup, but she landed face first on the mat in a scary spot. Ripley was able to continue.
Iyo went for Over the Moon. Ripley tossed her off the top rope and Iyo landed on her feet. Sky bounced Rhea off the top rope after yanking her leg from under her. Iyo Sky hit a stiff Poison Rana for a nearfall. Ripley answered with a stiff Razor’s Edge followed by a sitout powerbomb for a nearfall.
Iyo Sky accidentally hit a springboard dropkick on Jessika Carr. Ripley hit the Riptide and scored a visual pinfall.
Ripley snapped and beat Iyo Sky down in to the crowd. Iyo knocked Ripley off a giant production crate, climbed to the top of the barricade and dove onto Ripley. Still no referee.
On their way back to the ring, Ripley threw Sky, ribs-first, into the announce table. Sky hit an insane Sunset Flip bomb to the outside on Ripley. Sky hit the Over the Moonsault as Carr recovered. Carr delivered a normal count and Ripley kicked out. The pop for Ripley kicking out was just as loud as it would have been if she won. Suddenly, Rhea fans were in their bag.
Ripley went for a top-rope Riptide, but Iyo Sky countered with a Spanish Fly.
Cue Naomi. Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase, making this a Triple Threat Match. Naomi hit the Split-Legged Moonsault and won the world title. I’m melting.
Naomi vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky Grade: A+
