The highly anticipated WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Evolution match has been officially confirmed for Evolution 2025, featuring four top teams from across WWE’s brands in a historic clash. This intense showdown will take place at the Evolution 2 Premium Live Event (PLE) and includes the returning tag team, the Kabuki Warriors, adding major star power to the contest.
Four Teams Locked In for the Evolution 2025 WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match
The path to Evolution 2025’s women’s tag title bout began last week during the June 30th episode of Raw, when Roxanne Perez was named Liv Morgan’s replacement as one half of the reigning women’s tag-team champions. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce further announced that Perez and her partner Rodriguez would defend their titles in a four-team match. Each team would represent one of WWE’s brands: Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and the champions’ own roster.
As the match card took shape, the teams from NXT and SmackDown were confirmed. Sol Ruca and Zaria earned the NXT slot, while Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair were selected from SmackDown to challenge for the titles. This left the Raw brand’s entry undecided until the July 7th episode of Raw when fans finally witnessed a surprise reunion.
Asuka and Kairi Sane reformed the legendary Kabuki Warriors, reuniting a former tag-team champion duo. Following Sane’s victory over Perez in a singles match, the two launched an attack on Rodriguez and Perez, underscoring their intent. Later, in a backstage segment, Adam Pearce officially announced the Kabuki Warriors as the fourth team in the Evolution 2025 title bout. Previously, the Kabuki Warriors held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship twice, with reigns lasting 171 days and 99 days respectively.
Background on Asuka’s Scheduled WWE Main Roster Match and Lyra Valkyria’s Debut
Earlier this year, former Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria revealed an alternate path for Asuka in WWE history. In a conversation with Joe Baiamonte of Pubity, Valkyria shared that Asuka was originally supposed to be her first opponent upon her main roster debut.
“A match that got away from me would be to face Asuka. That would be pretty massive. When I was first debuting on Monday Night Raw, I’ll never forget watching Backlash in France and that’s when I discovered what my debut match would be, which was supposed to be Asuka. Unfortunately she got hurt and I ended up wrestling Dakota Kai, which ended up being quite poetic in itself as we circled back to me and Dakota in a big history making moment. But yeah, that would definitely be a nice match to circle back to, to get to wrestle Asuka.” —Lyra Valkyria, Former Women’s Intercontinental Champion
Due to Asuka’s injury at that time, Valkyria faced Dakota Kai instead, who she would later intersect with again in notable moments. This history highlights Asuka’s continued significance in WWE’s women’s division as she prepares for the high-stakes tag match at Evolution 2025.
The Anticipated Impact of the Four-Team Tag Title Match at Evolution 2025
The addition of the Kabuki Warriors to the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Evolution match intensifies an already competitive field. With champions Roxanne Perez and Rodriguez defending against prominent challengers from SmackDown, NXT, and Raw, the event signals a major focus on women’s tag team wrestling in WWE’s calendar. Fans can expect a dynamic and memorable contest within Evolution 2025’s larger showcase of talent.
The match signifies not only a contest for gold but also a celebration of the women’s tag division’s growth, highlighted by the reunion of the Kabuki Warriors. Asuka and Kairi Sane’s presence adds historical weight and proven championship experience, promising a captivating performance on one of WWE’s biggest stages.
