[3] On July 12, the first two competitors for the 2018 tournament were announced as Kaitlyn and Rhea Ripley. [4] The tournament final match was scheduled to be held as part of WWE's all-female pay-per-view Evolution, taking place on October 28 at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. [5]

On August 8, it was announced that the show would air every Wednesday on the WWE Network immediately after NXT , beginning September 5.
