Evolution PPV main event drew a lot of backlash since the get-go. Fans did not like the idea that Nikki Bella got the opportunity to challenge Ronda Rousey for the WWE Raw women’s championship. As per them, Nikki Bella is a ‘so-called Diva’ who does not deserve a chance against the ‘baddest woman of the planet’.
However, WWE made this up by building a strong storyline around them. Nikki Bella turned heel by attacking Ronda Rousey on WWE Raw. She claimed to be the creator of Evolution where Ronda Rousey is just a spotlight-stealer. In return, the champion blasted her opponent for dating John Cena who has kicked her out of the bedroom.
These kinds of promos heated up the rivalry on WWE Raw. Nikki Bella took it further by slapping the taste out of Ronda Rousey’s mouth on this past edition of WWE Raw. So we expected a personal fight in the main event of Evolution. These two mainstream stars had the capability to execute a successful match despite the controversies.
