Most of these names have already been rumored for a few days now, but WWE today announced that six wrestlers will be returning to wrestle in the battle royal at the Evolution PPV on October 28. The winner of the battle royal will get a future women’s title match, presumably on whichever brand they’re part of.
The names officially announced today are:
– Alundra Blayze
– Ivory
– Kelly Kelly
– Maria Kanellis
– Michelle McCool
– Molly Holly
Everyone but Maria is a former Women’s or Divas Champion, and Maria is a former TNA Knockouts Champion.
