When Batista came back to WWE, there were some rumblings that a new version of the Evolution group would take place. It hasn't materialized. In fact, Orton's relationship with Batista is reminiscent of a couple of former friends who just don't get along. What if they started to get along? What if Triple H was the reason for that? It would be a way to bring back the very successful Evolution group. Since Ric Flair isn't a full time performer, it would be smart to keep him out of it. They could have Triple H in the role of the older wrestler that can still have matches once in a while. Batista and Orton are already established guys that would serve as mentors while also performing as top guys. A new member could join that would benefit from being a part of the group. If the group did return and they did have a new member, it would have to be a midcard heel that would greatly benefit from it. A guy like Damien Sandow would be a good fit. They would have to alter the gimmick a bit, but he has all the tools to make it work. If they turned guys like Dolph Ziggler or Cody Rhodes heel they could pull it off. Maybe Dean Ambrose would work. Seth Rollins? Possibly, but he's better long term as a babyface. They could even pick somebody from NXT if they felt there was somebody that was the right fit. While WWE may have some reluctance to bring back the Evolution group because it may not work again the second time, it's all a matter of the booking. If the booking is right and it makes sense then it's likely going to work if they did it again. Other stables over the years have had successful reboots. Why not Evolution? It would help everybody involved, especially Orton.
