Adam Pearce Confirms Title Match For WWE Evolution

The Man is once again coming around to Evolution.
Becky Lynch participated in one of the marquee events during the inaugural all women's Premium Live Event back in 2018. She defeated Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing Match to retain her Smackdown Women's Championship, and seven years later, Big Time Becks will once again walk into Evolution to put a title on the line.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce took to social media Sunday morning to announce that the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship will be defended on July 13 in a Triple Threat Match as Becky Lynch will take on both Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
#WWERaw GM @ScrapDaddyAP has a lot cookin' ahead of the final #RawonNetflix before #SNME AND #WWEEvolution! Here are your official announcements from our @Cubs enthusiast. 😏

Pearce's announcement comes on the heels of last Monday's No. 1 Contender's Match where Bayley and Valkyria both pinned each other, forcing the ref to declare the bout a draw.
That tie is extremely unfortunate for Becky Lynch as she will now be forced to face both women at Evolution. It's also been announced that The Man will be on Raw this Monday night to share her feelings about that booking decision.
