Evolution 2: Tiffany Stratton is set to put the SmackDown Women’s Championship on the line against her idol Trish Stratus at Evolution 2. Vince Russo feels that ‘Tiffy’ should win the match as Trish is at the event to ‘help sell tickets’.
Tiffany Staratton is set to defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship against the iconic Trish Stratus at Evolution 2. The match has created a buzz in the wrestling world as it marks the Canadian star’s return to in-ring competition after nearly four months. Not surprisingly, a section of the audience is wooing for Trish to bag the gold. However, according to a former WWE writer, this is unlikely to happen.
Vince Russo has been an integral part of the professional wrestling landscape since the 90s. During his illustrious career, he has worked with WCW, TNA, and of course the WWE. In an interaction with Indiatimes, he weighed in on Trish Stratus’ match against the Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton at the Evolution 2 Premium Live Event this Sunday (July 13).
According to Russo, Tiffany needs to win the match as she has been the face of the SmackDown women’s division in recent times. He added that the veteran is part of the show just to add ‘star power’ to it.
“Trish is there just for star power and to help sell tickets. You have to get Tiffany over in the match. It wouldn't make sense any other way,” he said.
If Tiffany wins, it will mark her second win over a bonafide legend. She beat Charlotte Flair, a veteran in her own right, at WrestleMania 41 to retain the title.
Tiffany has a strong history with Trish. She teamed up with her to beat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae at Elimination Chamber 2025 in March. Moreover, in storyline, she personally welcome Trish back on SmackDown on July 4. She then accepted the icon's challenge.
Evolution 2 is a women-only Premium Live Event that features the top names from the WWE. Besides Tiffany-Trish, it also features a slew of exciting matches. Iyo Sky will be defending the Raw women’s championship against Rhea Ripley in a match that is likely to headline the event.
The event will also see Becky Lynch defending the Intercontinental Championship against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria in a triple-threat match.
Raquel and Roxanne Perez (substituting for an injured Liv) defend the tag titles against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, Sol Ruca and Zaria and The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). Naomi and Jade Cargill will be locking horns in a No-Holds-Barred match at the PLE.
Additionally, the event will have a battle royale. The winner of this match will get a World Championship shot at Clash in Paris. There will also be a singles match between NXT Champion Jacy Jayne and Jordynne Grace.
Evolution 2 will stream on Peacock this Sunday.
