As previously reported, a graphic aired before NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV event for a Trish Stratus vs. Alexa Bliss match. WWE.com has now confirmed that the match will take place at the all-women Evolution pay-per-view event. You can read WWE’s full announcement below.

Evolution takes place on October 28th in Uniondale, New York. An online pre-sale will begin Tuesday at 10 AM at Ticketmaster using the code PPV1.

As if WWE Evolution, the groundbreaking all-women’s pay-per-view, wasn’t already historic enough, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss will face seven-time Women’s Champion Trish Stratus in what is sure to be a match for the ages.

The Goddess, who is set to defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam, will battle the WWE Hall of Famer for the first time at the pay-per-view event set for Sunday, Oct. 28, at 7 ET/4 PT. Not only will this be Bliss and Stratus’ first match against each other, but it will also mark Stratus’ first match since competing in the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match earlier this year.

WWE Evolution will stream live on WWE Network, featuring women’s championship matches from Monday Night Raw, SmackDown LIVE, NXT and NXT UK, as well as the final of the second annual Mae Young Classic 2018.
