21. Torrie Wilson

Like I said in the first slide, it’s exciting to see stars of the past coming back to WWE, and Torrie Wilson has earned the fans’ respect for appearing at multiple big WWE events in 2018. She was honored at the 25th Anniversary of Raw, and while WWE should have done far more to honor its women on that commemorative show, at least she was there with the likes of Maria Kanellis and Jacqueline.

Wilson eliminated the electrifying, athletic Dana Brooke in the Women’s Royal Rumble this year before getting tossed out by the aggressive and cerebral Sonya Deville. I’m sure Brooke will get her revenge on Wilson at Evolution.

20. Maria Kanellis

Right now, Maria Kanellis is one half of 205 Live’s power couple, as she and Mike Kanellis are on a mission to take over Wednesday evenings. 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick will have his hands full with the merciless Mike Kanellis and the equally unapologetic Maria, who hilariously commented on how adorable Maverick looks when he’s upset.

Maria Kanellis has done little to endear herself to the 205 Live roster and its management, and she’ll likely be one of the main antagonists in the Evolution Battle Royal. Kanellis is particularly adept at this, and it will be interesting to see if she can pull off any surprise eliminations.

Moreover, it brings me joy to see her featured on Evolution in some way, because she’s quietly been an important part of the history of the WWE Women’s Division. A former Knockouts Champion in TNA, Kanellis made her WWE debut in 2004 and is still a big part of the company, seeing as how she’s bringing her underrated managerial expertise to 205. I’m glad that her contributions are being honored in some way at Evolution with this appearance.
