5 Evolution moments you must see before SmackDown 1000

A Flair for the Gold

In December 2003, the group had faltered slightly. Triple H had lost the title to Goldberg in September, leaving the team without any championships.

This all changed on one fateful night, appropriately titled Armageddon. Orton had captured the Intercontinental Title from Rob Van Dam early in the night, with Orton's nemesis at the time Mick Foley making the pin.

Batista and Flair used their sway with Eric Bischoff to be entered into a Tag Team Gauntlet match, capturing the Gold from the Dudleys.

And in the main event, Triple H toppled both Goldberg and Kane, putting the group back on top, and more powerful than ever before.
