There have been reported internal pushes regarding WWE Evolution 2025 having a number of legends on the match card, and those demands will be met. Multiple announcements regarding the returning PLE were made during the latest episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix, including two championship bouts. Those announcements continued even after Raw as WWE taped the July 4 episode of Smackdown.
Spoilers from the upcoming Smackdown episodes are out, courtesy of WWFOldSchool which informs us that a WWE Legend will be involved at the WWE Evolution 2025 premium live event in a title match capacity. It will be none other than Trish Stratus to feature in a dream bout against someone whom many consider her successor in the modern-day WWE.
WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton and Queen of the Ring Jade Cargill had a face-off segment on Smackdown where Tiffany said that she’ll be ready for Cargill at SummerSlam now that she’s entitled to a title bout following her win at Night of Champions.
However, before that match, Tiffany revealed that she would defend her title at WWE Evolution 2025 against one of her idols, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. Stratus then showed up on Smackdown and accepted the challenge from her former tag team partner.

Previous reports from WrestleVotes claimed that WWE originally planned to announce Trish Stratus’ return and her involvement at WWE Evolution 2025 a few weeks ago. They have prepared graphics for the same before John Cena’s second promo on the June 13 episode of SmackDown, but that didn’t happen for some reason.
