WWE has started its build for Evolution, the all-women’s pay-per-view event set for July 13, 2025. The show will feature the female talent from NXT, RAW, and SmackDown. Though promotional efforts began later than expected, WWE released the official poster. However, there was a small issue.
Major Former Champions Missing From WWE Evolution Poster
Triple H unveiled the official WWE Evolution poster on social media with the caption,
“Honoring the trailblazers and inspiring the next generation.”
However, eagle-eyed fans were able to spot some missing stars on the poster. These included Asuka, Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, Piper Niven, and Zaria.

Asuka is a three-time WWE Women’s Champion, Stephanie Vaquer was a doubles champion in NXT, Giulia is the current WWE Women’s United States Champion, and Piper Niven was a former Tag Team Champion. Zaria was getting a massive push in NXT, but none of these women are on the poster.
Fans also pointed out how, despite being the current Women’s World Champion, IYO SKY was pushed aside for Rhea Ripley to be positioned front and center. Furthermore, the WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton, was relegated to the second row.
Additionally, Liv Morgan is also missing, but it is understandable due to her recent injury. Some fans were quick to call that out, but WWE can’t be faulted on that one.
While it is unclear who will be featured at WWE Evolution, fans expressed frustration over the exclusion of these stars from the poster. They questioned why WWE put Ripley, Bianca Belair, and Charlotte Flair in the front row.
Currently, six matches have been announced for the PLE. The fact that there will be a Battle Royal at the PLE should have called for all the women to be used on the poster. Fans are waiting to see what other matches will be added to the PLE in the upcoming weeks.
