#2 Evolution

Back in the early 2000’s, WWE wanted to create a stable that would remind the fans of The Four Horsemen. However, Triple H wanted the faction to be unique - something that embodied his own vision and idea.

At the time, Ric Flair wasn’t doing much either in WWE, and the company put four Superstars together to create a stable that would run roughshod in the promotion. Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista and Ric Flair joined forces to create the Evolution faction.

Flair played the role of a legend/quasi manager - wrestler, Triple H was the champion, while Orton and Batista were groomed as future champions. And according to Triple H, Evolution was something he came up with while keeping The Four Horsemen stable as the blueprint.

During an interview with IGN.com back in 2004, Triple H revealed how the idea for Evolution came about.

“It was my initial concept and I ran it by Vince McMahon and I ran it by Flair. My initial concept was pretty much what we said on TV.” I looked around and we had Ric Flair as a baby face just sitting there and not doing a whole lot, then you had myself, and I felt like Ric could be utilized better as a mentor to a younger guy who was up and coming.”
