Ronda Rousey on WWE Pitched Idea of Holding Evolution 2 Event in 2019 Featuring Her vs. Becky Lynch Match

WWE held their first ever and to date their only all-women’s Evolution event in 2018.

A recent episode of the Ring The Belle podcast featured former WWE wrestler Ronda Rousey as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Rousey claiming that WWE had pitched the idea of holding a second all-women’s Evolution event shortly following WrestleMania 35 in 2019. Rousey also stated that WWE officials had pitched the idea of a singles match between her and Becky Lynch as this potential event.

“Well, they offered to bring it back for a second time. They said, ‘Ronda, if you stay after WrestleMania, we’ll have another Evolution in six weeks, and have you Becky as a singles.’ I was like, ‘I promised my family.’ First, I was saying, ‘Oh, I will only go from WrestleMania until Survivor Series. Then, Triple H convinced me to stay from WrestleMania to WrestleMania, and I promised my family, ‘Okay, that’s it. That’s it.’ I have kids, a husband, and a home, and I’m gone for weeks on end.

So when they said that, I was like, ‘No, I’ve already asked too much of my family. I can’t ask any more of them. I promised them this. I promised you I would stay this long, and I promised them I would only stay this long, and I’m not gonna keep moving the goalpost’. I ended up shattering my knuckle anyway like I got an extra little nub now, so I wouldn’t have been able to do it regardless, but, yeah, they tried to dangle that carrot for me, but I just couldn’t.

Hopefully, they’ll bring it back, and I don’t think that they need me for it, and I think that they’re past that point, and they just need to believe in the women because they can do it. That event was incredible, and it sold out the venue, and I feel like there should be more, but no one’s asking me.”
