Evolve has always been the proving ground for tomorrow’s main-eventers, and this edition promises to be no different.

The Card Breakdown: What to Expect at WWE Evolve April 2nd, 2025
1. Main Event: “The Prodigy” Jaden Cade vs. “The Titan” Viktor Kross – No Disqualification Match
The rivalry between Jaden Cade and Viktor Kross has been one of the most intense in Evolve history. Cade, the high-flying technical mastermind, has been a thorn in Kross’ side for months, escaping his brutal power moves with sheer resilience. But after Kross cost Cade the Evolve Championship last month, this match was made No DQ—meaning anything goes.
- Cade’s Speed vs. Kross’ Power: Can Cade outmaneuver Kross’ devastating strength, or will Kross finally put him down for good?
- Weapons & Mayhem: With no rules, expect chairs, tables, and possibly even a shocking outside interference.
- Stakes: The winner is rumored to get a WWE NXT contract—making this a career-defining match.
Prediction: Jaden Cade finds a way to survive Kross’ onslaught and picks up the win, but not without taking an insane amount of punishment.
2. WWE Evolve Women’s Championship: Lacey Storm (c) vs. Serena Vega – Submission Match
Lacey Storm has been a dominant champion, using her ruthless aggression to dismantle every challenger. But Serena Vega, a submission specialist, has forced her into a match where only taps or knockouts will decide the winner.
- Storm’s Brawling vs. Vega’s Technique: Can Storm overpower Vega before getting caught in a deadly hold?
- Mind Games: Vega has been studying Storm’s weaknesses—will she exploit them?
- Future Call-Up: The winner could be fast-tracked to NXT or even SmackDown.
Prediction: In a shocking twist, Vega makes Storm tap out, ending her reign and cementing herself as the new face of Evolve’s women’s division.
3. Tag Team Turmoil: The Skywalkers vs. The Iron Foundation vs. The Renegade Brothers – Triple Threat for the Evolve Tag Titles
Three of the most explosive teams in wrestling collide in what promises to be a show-stealing match.
- The Skywalkers (High-Flyers): Known for their daredevil offense.
- The Iron Foundation (Powerhouse Duo): Unstoppable force with brutal strength.
- The Renegade Brothers (Brawlers): Unpredictable wildcards who thrive in chaos.
Prediction: The Skywalkers pull off an insane double moonsault to retain, but not without The Iron Foundation making a statement by demolishing everyone post-match.
4. Grudge Match: Dante Cole vs. “The Outlaw” Rex Malone – Street Fight
This feud has gotten personal. After Malone attacked Cole’s brother at the last event, Cole demanded this match be a Street Fight.
- Blood Feud: Expect a brutal, hardcore brawl.
- Possible Debut: Rumors suggest Cole could be WWE-bound if he wins.
- Wildcard Factor: Malone has backup—will someone interfere?
Prediction: Cole wins after a crazy spot through a table, but Malone’s allies attack him after, setting up a future rematch.
5. Breakout Showcase: Four-Way Scramble – Winner Gets an Evolve Title Shot
Four rising stars compete in a fast-paced scramble match for a future championship opportunity:
- Elijah Frost (High-Flyer)
- Brute Hanson (Powerhouse)
- Mirai Saito (Technical Genius)
- Tyler Rush (Underdog Fan Favorite)
Prediction: Mirai Saito shocks everyone with a sudden submission victory, proving technique beats power and speed.
Final Thoughts: Why You Can’t Miss WWE Evolve April 2nd, 2025

Very good show
I think his Ic run being so long hurt him as a credible world champion. It’s like he fought all the same guys and crushed them for a mid card belt now we are supposed to believe they are an actual challenge to him as a world champion? Lol when they took the intercontinental title off of him they should have moved him to SmackDown and put a new list of challengers in front of him. And moved Cody and the WWE championship to raw
Very good episode,
imagine being deluded enough to think a multi billion dollar company with guys who literally have wrestling in their blood hot shoted a heel turn storyline because they booked themselves into a corner. are you serious dude? that is the most ridiculous thing i have read in a minute lol. good luck bro.
Great episode.
Punk/Cody was there for the taking and Cena could’ve gone up against Gunther.
They knee jerked a heel turn because they booked themselves into a nepotism corner
Very good show
honestly don’t get the hate. like sure, there’s no major story here YET. But Punk/Rollins/Reigns has a lot of potential to be a high quality match. I’m legit looking forward to it and love that these three have wound up in a match together.
Great episode.
The triple threat match between them at Wrestlemania is gonna be awesome. Super stoked for this match
Great show
Let’s mention the women’s match in every live/hate challenge. Easiest task for this group of “journalists” ever. Each one of these love/hates are more embarrassing than the last. We get it, women’s wrestling is amazing and should main event every show and if a women’s match is bad it’s because where it is on the card or the booking it’s never the talent, all the women are top tier wrestlers.
Very good show
You wanna find out who the real simps and shills are? Mark down anybody who defends that main event match! Even the diehard AEW fans are crapping on that main event. It was terrible.
This Moxley stuff is stinking out the entire show and the dude seems to think he is Brock Lesnar.
The sad part is that this wasn’t a terrible show overall and with all things taken into an account. But at the end of the day, a bad ending can ruin a whole show for a lot of people. “Game of Thrones season 8” style.
Great show
So the crux of it all is that the PLE started strong…then ended with a sour belch.
The fans most remember how you left them and the fans are going to remember this show with a resounding “bleh”!
And any casual fan who watched with their buddies who are more diehard fans, may have left the viewing saying aloud, “That guy was pretty good. He should go to WWE”.
Great show.
I’ve said before but I think one of the issues here is that Tony is a massive fan of NJPW and often looks to emulate their PPV card structure. NJPW cards typically build to a climax with the big matches back to back and tend not to feature cool down matches or spots. Problem is western audiences haven’t been conditioned for that over the last 40 years, so often results in burnout. Personally I would have laid out the card like below giving breathing spaces, opening with the Steel Cage match and building to the Hollywood Ending as the main event.
Storm vs. May
Mox vs. Cope
Hangman vs. MJF
Hurt Syndicate vs. Outrunners
Takeshita vs. Omega
Swerve vs. Ricochet
Okada vs. King
Mone vs. Watanabe
Ospreay vs. Fletcher
Great episode.
Very good show, but the ending is what people remember. WWE ended Elimination Chamber with a huge heel turn. AEW ended Revolution with that abominable ending.
it doesn’t totally undo a great show, but it might have done more harm than good.
Very good show
I can already see Trips the mark statues, Trips the mark with a 20 minutes speech, the camera focusing onTrips the mark every 30 seconds when he is on the crowd.
Great show.
I’m glad they are bringing it back to a nice venue. The idea of hosting it immediately after Smackdown is insane. Why not put a highlight show or broadcast the Hall of Fame instead of airing Smackdown that week.
best of the best
Very good show tonight

Really don’t like that it’s the Women’s NXT North American Championship. Besides being an awkward mouthful, it’s too derivative of Men’s midcard title.
