10 Best Spinoff Factions In Wrestling History

Triple H is no stranger to factions, as we’ll get to him later in this list no doubt, but his time in the 2000s produced a stable that did a hell of a lot better than it sounds written on paper. Essentially, the Evolution was to be another attempt at a modern version of The Four Horsemen. Furthermore, it wouldn't be the first time Ric Flair had been at the centre of a spin-off from his classic faction... but the less said about the Yamakazi Corporation the better.

Whilst Evolution continued a lot of the Horsemen tropes - four incredibly compelling wrestlers suited, booted and minted holding dominance over the company’s gold - it at least made an effect to add it’s own wrinkle that it gave the namesake with Flair representing the past, Trips as the present and up and comers Randy Orton and Batista being groomed to be the company’s future.

As a group, Evolution is probably best remembered as part of Triple H’s never-ending “reign of terror” with the World Heavyweight Title, but we shouldn’t overlook the fact that Ric Flair and Batista held tag team gold together, because that’s still a confusing sentence all these years later.

More than anything the inter-personal stories within Evolution gave us two of the company’s biggest future stars, Orton and Batista, as the stable exploded.
