WWE ANNOUNCES ALL-WOMEN'S PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT, EVOLUTION

The WWE is set to make history once again on Oct. 28 with it’s first-ever all-women's pay-per-view event, titled Evolution.

Staged live from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, the site of countless monumental moments in WWE history including WrestleMania 2, Evolution will feature the women of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT and the newly formed NXT: U.K. brands -- as well as at least a couple of Hall of Famers.

More than three months out from the event, the exact makeup of the card is still yet to be determined, but one match already is set in stone -- the finals of the second annual Mae Young Classic tournament. As you might expect, WWE is bringing out all of their heaviest hitters for Evolution.

On Monday night's edition of Raw, Stephanie McMahon -- WWE's chief brand officer and on-screen commissioner of Monday Night Raw -- revealed to the world and the women of Raw and SmackDown the name of the event and a few key details about how it'll play out. It's the latest opportunity she has had to kick off the excitement for a major move forward for the WWE's women's divisions.

WHY MAE YOUNG IS A TIPPING POINT IN THE WWE WOMEN'S EVOLUTION

The all-women Mae Young Classic was a first in WWE's history. And with familiar faces such as Shayna Baszler finding success -- and others like Ronda Rousey seemingly testing the waters -- the competition is a turning point in women's wrestling.

There's inevitably going to be some discussion about whether or not this effort is, in part, an opportunity to balance out the fact that the women of WWE were unable to perform at April's Greatest Royal Rumble show in Saudi Arabia.

On the WWE's pay-per-view calendar, Evolution falls squarely in between the WWE's upcoming Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia, and Survivor Series, separated by three weeks in either direction. With its first all-women's pay-per-view, WWE has committed itself to putting on a show on scale with their other pay-per-view events.

While McMahon is a strong candidate to play an on-screen role in the event in some fashion, she'll also play a part in the chaos and creation of everything that appears on screen on the night of Oct. 28.

"What's awesome about this pay-per-view event is that it's being treated the same as every other pay-per-view, because we believe in it so much," McMahon said. "It has the creative writing team. It has all of our live events production, talent relations -- all of the different departments that go into making every pay-per-view a success are behind this pay-per-view.
