Backstage Update on Kali Armstrong’s WWE EVOLVE Future

This week’s episode of WWE EVOLVE saw General Manager Timothy Thatcher announce an Eliminator Gauntlet Match in three weeks. This match would determine the new EVOLVE Women’s Champion. Notably, Kendal Grey relinquished the championship last month after retaining it against Tyra Mae Steele.

Additionally, Thatcher announced a multi-person match for next week to determine the final entrant in the Gauntlet Match. Initially, he announced that PJ Vasa, Wendy Choo, Laynie Luck, and Nikkita Lyons would battle in a Fatal Four-Way Match. However, after Kali Armstrong protested against her inclusion in next week’s match, she was added to it, turning it into a Fatal Five-Way contest.

That said, according to Bodyslam+, Armstrong’s immediate plans do not revolve around the EVOLVE Women’s Title. Sources indicate that she is expected to kick off a program with Tyra Mae Steele shortly.

Armstrong is the inaugural EVOLVE Women’s Champion. She lost the title to Kendal Grey last October. Her reign lasted 151 days. Following that, she was expected to move up to NXT, but it didn’t end up happening.
