Several entrants in the battle royal at Evolution 2 were announced on the July 7 Raw, including WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.

Bella was the first person to announce her participation in the battle royal, which she did via vignette.

This marks a change of creative plans for Nikki, who was initially set to face off against Liv Morgan, before Morgan sustained a shoulder injury which required surgery, causing her to miss the next several months of action.

Stephanie Vaquer was confirmed as another battle royal entrant via a vignette later in the show, while Natalya, Maxxine Dupri, Ivy Nile and Nia Jax were all also confirmed as participating.

The winner of the battle royal will receive a women's title match at Clash in Paris on August 31. Vaquer is viewed as the internal favourite to win the battle royal.

Ticket sales for Evolution 2 are low, with the show set to be the lowest paid attendance for a WWE pay-per-view since 2019's Stomping Grounds. Talent are reportedly not thrilled with the planning of the show, which is a sequel to 2018's inaugural Evolution pay-per-view.
