A new match has been announced for the upcoming Evolution PPV. At Saturday’s NXT UK TV tapings, Isla Dawn defeated Killer Kelly to earn a title shot at the NXT UK Women’s Title at Evolution. NXT UK Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley will defend the title at the show.
If you recall, Ripley defeated Toni Storm in an 8-woman tournament to determine the inaugural champion a few months ago. It should be noted that this tournament has yet to air but will do so on the WWE Network.
