Popular WWE Star Wins Evolution Battle Royal To Earn World Title Shot
WWE Evolution 2 delivered on its promise of drama, action, and game-changing moments.
One of the most talked-about highlights of the evening was the 20-woman Battle Royal that determined the next contender for a world championship match at Clash in Paris, set for August 31. The match was packed with top-tier talent from across all brands, including current main roster stars, returning legends, and rising NXT standouts.
In typical battle royal chaos, eliminations came fast and furious, but several key moments stood out. Kelani Jordan wowed fans with an athletic show of agility, walking on her hands from the announce table back to the ring apron to avoid elimination. The closing moments of the match saw a tense showdown between Vaquer and Legend.
As both battled on the apron, La Primera struck with a perfectly timed Devil’s Kiss to knock Legend off the edge and secure her win. With this victory, she now earns a women’s world title opportunity at Clash in Paris, choosing between the WWE Women’s Championship and the Women’s World Championship.
