WWE’s “women’s evolution” took its logical next step last week as the company announced its first all-women’s pay-per-view.

Aptly, the PPV will be called “Evolution.” It will take place at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York on October 28. WWE is hyping that over 50 wrestlers from the past and present will be involved, with Trish Stratus, Lita, and Beth Phoenix already advertised. Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and NXT UK will all be represented, along with this year’s Mae Young Classic finals being held on the show.
