Victoria Confirms She Won’t Be Part of WWE Evolution 2, Cites Back Issues – As buzz builds for WWE Evolution 2, one name fans won’t be seeing on the show is former WWE Women’s Champion Victoria. The veteran performer confirmed during a recent Instagram Live that she has not been booked for the upcoming all-women’s premium live event, scheduled for Sunday, July 13.

Addressing speculation from fans hoping for a surprise return, Victoria was candid about her current status.

“I am not going to be at Evolution. I didn’t get booked,” she said. “My back is kind of funky, I’ll be honest with you.”

Victoria, real name Lisa Marie Varon, was a key figure during WWE’s Ruthless Aggression era and is remembered for her hard-hitting style and intense rivalries with stars like Trish Stratus and Lita. She signed a WWE Legends deal in August 2024 and was spotted backstage at a SmackDown taping earlier this year, fueling speculation that she might be part of the Evolution 2 festivities.

Her last official match in a WWE ring came during the 2023 Royal Rumble. Since then, she has largely stayed out of the spotlight, though she remains active with fan appearances and occasionally engages with the WWE Universe via social media.

While she won’t be on hand for Evolution 2, the show is already shaping up to be a major milestone for WWE’s women’s division. Scheduled matches include:

• IYO SKY defending the Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley
• Tiffany Stratton defending the WWE Women’s Championship against Trish Stratus
• Becky Lynch putting her Intercontinental Title on the line in a Triple Threat Match against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria
• A Women’s Tag Team Championship Fatal Four-Way
• A high-profile No Holds Barred match between Naomi and Jade Cargill
• A Battle Royal to determine the #1 contender for Clash in Paris

Victoria’s absence will be felt by longtime fans, but her legacy in WWE’s women’s division remains secure.
