Lita vs Mickie James added to WWE Evolution

Bengaluru, September 4: WWE Hall of Famer Lita is set to face Mickie James at the first-ever all-women's Evolution pay-per-view on October 28 in Long Island, New York.

After leaks of graphics related to the pay-per-view, it was earlier believed that Lita will meet Asuka at Evolution, but the 2006 Survivor Series rematch rules that out.

However, the report was partly correct as Lita has now been officially added to Evolution card, but as it stands Asuka still doesn't have an oppenent for the event.

WWE.com officially confirmed the fight with the following post on their website,

"At WWE Evolution, two past rivals will once again go to war, as Lita suits up to bring her extreme arsenal against the dynamic Mickie James at the first-ever all-women's pay-per-view on Sunday, Oct. 28."

The two Superstars have captured 10 Women's Championships in total, with Lita winning four titles and James earning six. Both competitors can boast a championship victory over the other.

Lita and Mickie battled each other many times during the Ruthless Aggression Era, twice for the women's championship with Lita winning one and Mickie retiring Lita at Survivor Series back in 2006.

And now after twelve years this storied rivalry is now set to be renewed in groundbreaking fashion.

Ever since I heard that @MickieJames and @AmyDumas were going to be battling at #WWEEvolution, I kept getting flashbacks....
