I’m nervous. I’m excited. But greater than something… I’m READY!

IYO SKY will defend the WWE Women’s World Championship in the main event of the Evolution Premium Live Event. The Genius of the SKY is ready to make history in her match against Rhea Ripley.

SKY became the Women’s World Champion by defeating Ripley on the March 3rd, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW. She successfully defended the title against Ripley and Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 41.

“I’m nervous. I’m excited. But more than anything… I’m READY! I came from Japan to the USA for one reason — to make WWE HISTORY . At the first Evolution, I fought in the Mae Young Classic Final. Now… at the second Evolution, I walk in as the WWE Women’s CHAMPION This Sunday, we do it again. NEW HISTORY.. BIGGER MOMENTS… LETS GOOOO!!!” wrote IYO SKY.

Aiden English thinks that Rhea Ripley could win the WWE Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY if she turned heel

Aiden English believes Rhea Ripley could capture the WWE Women’s World Championship at the Evolution Premium Live Event if she turned heel against IYO SKY. Speaking on the Rebooked Wrestling podcast, he said:

“Here’s my problem with it. They might [put it back on Rhea Ripley]. I don’t think it is locked, though. My problem is I’m a little bored of Rhea and IYO [SKY], especially when they’re both kind of babyface. Unless this is a heel turn for Rhea, which would make an exciting change for her character.”

Ripley and SKY will collide in the main event of the second-ever Evolution PLE. It’ll be interesting to see who walks out of Atlanta with the gold.
