WWE made some big changes to top matches that were scheduled to take place at the WWE Evolution pay-per-view have been nixed.
The original matches had Alexa Bliss vs. Trish Stratus and Mickie James vs. Lita in singles matches. That all changed on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Rosemont, IL at the Allstate Arena on the USA Network.
Stratus will team up with Lita to take on James and Bliss in a tag team match at this show. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that the plan was always for it to be a tag team match.
The longtime pro wrestling journalist noted that the reason WWE first announced the Stratus vs. Bliss match was to boost ticket sales early on due to them not being able to announce the Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella match until they did the angle for the upcoming RAW Women’s Title bout. Once this match was revealed, the company felt like they could make the change of singles matches to the tag team match public.
The Evolution pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, October 28, 2018 in Long Island, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and will air on the WWE Network.
