The card for WWE Evolution is starting to take shape very quickly.

Raw General Adam Pearce and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made a joint announcement during Monday Night's episode of Raw from Pittsburgh that no doubt had the entire women's roster take notice.

Keeping in tradition with the first Evolution event that took place back in 2018, a Women's Battle Royal will be held in two weeks time. The winner of that Battle Royal will earn a World Title Opportunity at Clash in Paris on August 31.

Following the announcement from Pearce and Aldis, former NXT Women's Champion Stephanie Vaquer declared herself for the Battle Royal during an ad break interview.
