5 of the best WWE factions so far

#3 Evolution

Triple H, Batista, Ric Flair, and Randy Orton came together to form Evolution

Evolution was formed in 2003 when Batista and Randy Orton joined Triple H and his manager, Ric Flair. They were dubbed Evolution after Triple H claimed that they represented the past (Flair), present (himself), and future (Batista and Orton) of wrestling.

The group started to dominate when Orton began to develop his Legend Killer gimmick, and in 2004 they took off. Batista and Flair were the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, and at this time Triple H was the World Heavyweight Champion, and Orton was holding the Intercontinental title.

The four remained a constant in the title scene until 2005. Batista, Orton, and Triple H began competing against one another, and after Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble, Triple H tried to convince his ally to move to SmackDown to challenge JBL for the WWE Championship rather than his World Heavyweight belt.

However, this backfired when Batista chose to go for Triple H's title and powerbombed his former mentor through a table. At WrestleMania 21, Batista was victorious, becoming the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Evolution was over by this point, but the group has reunited on occasion.
