New WWE Champion Officially Crowned In Sudden Historic Moment

A new WWE champion has now been officially crowned tonight. The sudden change in hands for the title has seen history created.

Kendal Grey Just Made History On WWE Evolve Becoming a New Champion

WWE introduced the new EVOLVE Women's Championship earlier in 2025. As a result, when the episode aired of Kali Armstrong winning the match against Wendy Choo, Kendal Gray, and Kylie Ray back on May 28, 2025, she became the inaugural women's champion. Having achieved history, she has since been able to hold on to the title, establishing herself as an unbeatable beast of a champion. She has defended it quite a few times.

Now, though, Kendal Grey has taken the title away from her, creating history once again, by making for the first time ever that the new title changed hands between different stars. Grey has been the first one to ever win the title off a different star, and now is set to reign as the champion. It was not an easy night forher, as Kali Armstrong put on a huge match against the star, but the former champion was not able to retain the title this time.

Earlier in the night Jackson Drake continued his reign as the first-ever WWE Men's Evolve Champion

While the women's division may have seen a title change, that was not the case when it came to the men's division. Earlier in the night, to open the show, Jackson Drake faced Bryce Donovan.

He won the title on June 4, 2025. Now, he has continued his reign, as he was able to beat Donovan. Although the title was won by Drake after Armstrong, now he is likely going to become the longest reigning Evolve Champion in the history of the brand, as long as he is able to hold on to the title for one more week.

It should be noted that both stars won the titles on April 25, 2025, when the shows first taped. However, WWE recognizes their title reigns only from May 28 for Armstrong, and June 4 for Drake, when the episodes were first aired.

Now, it remains to be seen what Kendal Gray does with the title, and whether Armstrong gets a rematch.
