7 Reasons Why Evolution Is WWE's Best Stable Ever

5. The End Of The Group Set Up Many Huge Matches

As previously mentioned, the group started in early 2003 and started to dissolve in the summer of 2004 when Orton was turned babyface even though that was a move that was probably the wrong decision at the time. Orton ended up having a main event level feud with Triple H, which he lost, and he would go back to being a babyface soon after. Orton also main evented the Taboo Tuesday 2004 PPV by beating Ric Flair in a steel cage match. Orton's rivalry with Triple H continued for many more years since it became a feud that they stopped and started a lot. Batista's main rival in the group was Triple H. His role was that of the quiet enforcer that rarely said much while the group was together, but when it was his time to become a star he was ready. He won the tag titles with Flair and while they did have some matches, it wasn't a huge rivalry. As for Orton, they had some matches although again that was a feud that lacked that special something to get people interested in what they were doing. Triple H had feuds with all three members of Evolution mainly because he was the one that stayed heel the longest. He went after Orton in 2004 because Orton had won the World Title that Triple H was used to holding. In 2005 he had a memorable feud with Batista, which will be discussed in further detail later. He also had several matches with Flair later in 2005. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q95ELsOg23w The purpose of any team or stable is to build them up as a collective unit and then, when the time is right, have them feud against each other. Fans know how good the group was together. That just builds the anticipation for when they have their feud. It's an easy way to book things, but sometimes it doesn't happen because often times the creative team isn't patient enough to tell the story the right way. In the case of Evolution, they did it right and all four guys benefited from it.
