While WWE Evolution featured several nail-biting matches, intense altercations, and power-packed performances for the fans, the premium live event gained significance due to its uniquely historical nature.

Apart from being the only second all-women’s pay-per-view event, it also served as a launching point for several WWE superstars to mark fresh beginnings in the company. In this regard, the Ple event introduced new angles into the already intense scenarios in the women’s division of the company.

Highlighting the unique value of this Ple event, here are the top 5 surprise moments that fans witnessed in WWE Evolution.

Although it wasn’t a surprise until the last moment. But Bianca Belair’s return as the match official for a no-holds-barred match between former best friends Naomi and Jade Cargill was astonishing for the WWE universe.

Match #1: Tna World Championship – Trick Williams def. Josh Briggs The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The Tna World Title remains with Trick Williams, but he already has his hands full with his next potential challenge. Williams quickly learned that he was in for a fight as his power advantage was non-existent against the hulking Briggs, and the sneaky athleticism fooled the champion as the challenger countered a Powerbomb with a Chokeslam that nearly ended the bout. An incredible exchange of moves saw Briggs knock Williams to the mat, but his Moonsault missed the mark, allowing the champion to hit Trick Shot to win the match.

WWE Evolve’s Sean Legacy put up an incredible fight, but the North American Title remains with Ethan Page. The Nxt Universe was firmly behind Legacy and he had the champion in trouble with his high-flying moves and his swift kicks. Unfortunately for him, All Ego is a seasoned veteran and promptly countered a 450 splash into a Twisted Grin to retain his title. After the match, Ricky Saints appeared out of nowhere and brawled with Page around the arena.

A series of wrestlers were just released from WWE. The news of more than 15 Superstars being released came on May 2.

The following day, reports slowly started to surface that revealed that WWE had started to cut Superstars from the internal roster across all brands. Individual names - many of whom would confirm their releases on social media - were reported upon throughout the day.

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: The Street Profits def. Pretty Deadly The following is courtesy of wwe.com:...

WWE made its final pit stop on the road to Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia this weekend with a SmackDown show that was pre-taped after last Friday's episode. Jey Uso and the original Bloodline took center stage, raising their ones to the sky in unison as Roman Reigns and Jey Uso had a very frank conversation. Jey is his own man in 2024 and respect must be paid as Roman and The Usos will face The Bloodline at this weekend's Ple.

Elsewhere, The Street Profits defeated Pretty Deadly after they'd finished flirting with Hamilton creator Lin-Maunel Miranda, Iyo Sky won an action-packed Fatal Four Way, Liv Morgan pinned a particularly feisty and threatening Tiffany Stratton, and Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton defeated Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser in the night's Main Event, before Kevin Owens spoiled the night's celebrations.

This was a very Bloodline-heavy episode of Friday Night Smackdown, as WWE slowly makes its way towards the Crown Jewel Ple. Jey Uso made a surprise appearance to plead with Solo Sikoa to stop messing with The Bloodline and heal their family, before again turning down the approaches of Roman Reigns and his brother Jimmy. Solo Sikoa had no time for family sentiment as he demanded Roman acknowledge him as the Tribal Chief. Reigns' refusal landed him his biggest beating by The Bloodline yet.

Cody Rhodes made a valiant attempt to validate the Crown Jewel Championship, which will be the prize for his upcoming Champion vs Champion match with Gunther. The Motor City Machine Guns made their WWE debut and booked a Tag Team Championship Number One Contenders match against DIY on next week's show.
