WWE Evolution (2018)

The 2018 Evolution was a women's professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was the inaugural Evolution and took place on October 28, 2018, at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and NXT UK brand divisions. This was the only WWE PPV and livestreaming event to consist solely of women's matches until 2025.

The main card consisted of seven matches. Three of WWE's then-four women's championships were defended on the main card; the fourth was defended in a dark match before the event. It also featured the final of the 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament. In the main event, Ronda Rousey defeated Nikki Bella by submission to retain the Raw Women's Championship. In the penultimate match, Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship. In other prominent matches, Toni Storm defeated Io Shirai to win the 2018 Mae Young Classic, and Shayna Baszler defeated Kairi Sane to become the first two-time NXT Women's Champion.
