While fan excitement builds for Saturday Night’s Main Event and the subsequent WWE Evolution premium live event, a new report indicates growing dissatisfaction among the talent scheduled to perform. The unhappiness reportedly stems from how the all-women’s event has been organized.
According to a report from Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, the sentiment among many of the women involved is negative.
“So a lot of the women that I was speaking to felt, a lot of them felt like it was set up,” Sapp stated.
One of the primary issues is the event’s scheduling in Atlanta, Georgia. WWE Evolution is set for July 13, 2025, placing it in direct competition with several other major attractions in the city on the same weekend. These include AEW’s All In, a Beyoncé concert as part of her Cowboy Carter Tour at the nearby Mercedes Benz Stadium, and the MLB All-Star weekend.
This crowded landscape presents significant logistical challenges, particularly concerning hotel availability and costs for anyone traveling to the area.
“One, it was put in against All In weekend, across the street from a Beyoncé concert, during MLB All-Star weekend when a lot of the hotels were going to be bought up in the area,” Sapp detailed.
Beyond the scheduling conflicts, the report also highlights a perception among the talent that the event’s planning was rushed.
“They weren’t necessarily thrilled with that, but it was hastily produced,” Sapp added.
