It's expected that Batista is going to take some time off this summer to promote his Guardians of the Galaxy film, so if WWE wants to continue the Evolution group then they will need somebody to replace him. Sheamus is the perfect fit. As a former three time WWE Champion (combining the two titles) he brings a lot of credibility to the table. Even though he's 36 years old, he's still fairly new because he's only been in WWE for about five years. They can get away with saying he's a guy in the prime of his career because it's not like he's declining either. Sheamus also has a lot of history with Triple H as a WrestleMania opponent back in 2010 so they can say he earned Hunter's respect in those days. He's also had many matches with Randy Orton over the years especially when they were on Smackdown together. The big question is whether WWE wants to keep Evolution going by adding new members or if they want to leave it as is. If Sheamus joined the group he would gain instant credibility as a heel joining up with some of the best heels in the company. It's not like fans will have a tough time booing the guy when he's in Evolution. He'll be hated from the moment he joins.
