The first Evolution was more than just matches

It has been such a long time since that night in Uniondale, New York. And still, it is hard to forget moments like Trish Stratus and Lita returning to the ring, or Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Natalya taking on the Riott Squad with unmatched energy. But if there was one match that defined the night, it was Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch in a brutal, unforgettable Last Woman Standing match. It was raw, it was fierce, and it proved to the world that women’s wrestling had reached a whole new height.
