While Alexa Bliss prepares for the force that is Ronda Rousey at Sunday’s SummerSlam event, the five-time Women’s champion (twice on Smackdown, three times on Monday Night Raw) has one eye on the upcoming all-women’s pay-per-view, Evolution. With Evolution slated for October, it would be conceivable that Rousey and Bliss could face off in a rematch for the belt, but the current champ seems to think otherwise.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Bliss spoke about new adventures on her plate regardless of what happens Sunday.
“(Evolution) is something our ‘Women’s Revolution’ deserves. The women on our roster and our legends have proven that it’s about time that women have the main focus,” Bliss said.
Bliss went onto say that, because she held a championship at the Royal Rumble, she missed out on the opportunity to compete in the first women’s Royal Rumble earlier this year. But by the time Evolution rolls around, she’s excited for the opportunity, no matter who is on the other side of the ring.
“I’m very excited to get in the ring at Evolution, whether it’s against someone from NXT or someone coming back from the past,” Bliss said. “I would love to have a focused match at Evolution where I get to be in the ring with someone who I’ve never been in the ring with before. Career-wise, my goal is to keep the revolution going. We should have our own pay per views, and maybe one day we’ll headline WrestleMania.”
While SummerSlam is just around the corner, Evolution will take place on Oct. 28 and will feature matches for the Raw Women’s Championship, Smackdown Women’s Championship, NXT Women’s Championship, and the finale of the Mae Young Classic. As noted by Stephanie McMahon previously, 50 women will participate in the event.
