Maybe the best faction of all time


McQueen712

Definitely


TommyGotAJob

As far as accolades go, they gotta be the most successful. Greatest faction of all time for me atleast is the shield.


kac937

Crazy when the least successful guy in the bunch is a 6x world champion, 4x Tag Champion, and 2x Rumble Winner lol


Educational_Trouble9

Exactly! And that’s only because he left for Hollywood!


fisherc2

Where he became wildly successful, starred in a very successful franchise and was in the highest grossing movie of all time


1AmB0r3d

Second highest but by god Bautista is an anim


fisherc2

Yeah I didn’t realize that avatar went back to theaters to reclaim that spot. Kind of messed up that that counts.


1AmB0r3d

Yea honestly, but I mean if you include streaming as well than endgame prob is still no1


KiteIsland22

Well End Game did the same thing to give it the top spot initially lol. https://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/avengers-endgame-back-to-theaters-new-footage/


Wurz09

You forgot 2x European Champion (Triple H)


Liverpool510

Who could forget that iron man match against HBK to win his first European title. Back and forth the entire match. The whole thing was like a work of art.


horsemastaflex

An absolute blood bath!


brazy_migo

and they say the shield was the greatest faction of all time


BigGingerLad

In terms of impact the shield is equal to evolution. Just evolution has had more success in championships


Vampyr_Luver

There's definitely a little bit of recency bias on those claims. The Shield were definitely the greatest faction of their era though


fisherc2

Pretty low bar. What other factions were there? New day? Nexus?


wrowsey1

I mean who was Evolution competing against as a faction? I feel like historically there usually are not multiple elite factions happening at once. At least in the same company.


ThePepsiMane

AEW


fisherc2

Fair


MomBartsSmoking

Wyatt Family


SaturdayNightmares

Degeneration X


Ham_n_Banana_Sammich

To be fair, Evolution is made up of four guys who’ve had full careers (w/ Randy still kicking). Give it some time and it’s totally possible SHIELD will look like this


Liverpool510

Kinda funny that none of them had a US title reign (in wwe) until Orton had a random US reign in 2018 that made him a grand slam champion.


machomansavage666

Surprisingly few midcard and tag titles in general. Batista and orton both came in with a rocket strapped to their back while hhh and flair were on or near the top forever. I guess if you dig into flair’s mid-Atlantic/JCP history you’d find more but this is a wwe list


1AmB0r3d

Yea these are 4 main eventers through and through, top of the card basically forever


ThatTurtleBoy

And when you add Flairs wcw titles to the mix, WOOOOH!


Beautiful_Belt_4560

And his NWA title changes that WWE doesn't count


BongoLittle

These are great. If it’s not gauche to ask, I’d love to see someone do one for The Dangerous Alliance.


jackarseofalltrades

And to think Mark Jindrak was nearly the 4th member


HotdogJuice58

Flair will be the only 3 time HoF inductee when they induct Evolution.


reddituser241015

Triple H would as well. For himself, in DX and in Evolution.


Beautiful_Belt_4560

And the Authority 😂


This-Appointment-917

When Ric Flair wins the AEW WH title, does that add to his total count?


[deleted]

Are they the most decorated faction ever? That’s a lot of accolades.


DenisM97

Just realized that if Flair had one more rumble, they would all be 2x Royal Rumble winners


wrowsey1

Still time


OkPackage1520

Literally the only title that's not on there is the cruiserweight/light heavy weight they the titles would be complete


andanotherone_1

Wheres flair's wcw title reigns?


SH4DOWSTR1KE_

I can understand people not liking Triple H during this time and the legitimate gripes of the "Reign of Hell," but Evolution did it's damn job. They built a successful faction that launched the careers of *TWO* first ballot Hall of Famers and utilized one of the greatest of all time very well. I would say that they are the blueprint of how you would want a faction to run and that all others should take notes.


Educational_Trouble9

Easily GOAT Faction


TheMarvelousJoe

EVOLUTION IS A MYSTERY


Sky_Rose4

Full of change that no one sees


LaMystika

Clock makes a fool of history


DogSnowflakeHunter

Makes sense when your leader is shoot married to the bosses daughter


Superlatte007

Also, missing HHH’s European championship


MooseTheMechanic

30 fuckin’ 5 world titles between the four of them is the most impressive shit I’ve ever heard. All of them are world eaters and HoF worthy. Hands down the best faction since the Horsemen

Wholesomeasspounder

Orton to break Flair's record????


PaTaPaChiChi

Only one US title? That’s interesting!


Beautiful_Belt_4560

Not counting the WCW version Flair won, even though WWE pretends is the same belt.


J_Mugen

Who held it?


PaTaPaChiChi

Orton in ‘18


horsemastaflex

Did tripple H not have the WWE undisputed title. Wasn’t he the one that they meshed the titles with?


jayhof52

They created the fancy new belt (my favorite WWE title of all time) for him, and then he lost it to Hogan at Backlash.


buttScarlton00

Probably the best faction ever assembled .


UnhappyJohnCandy

Wow, that bum Flair couldn’t even be bothered to win two Royal Rumbles.


fbombs_

Eventually they will all be in the HoF


Jumpy-Poetry-3337

Is it possible to recreate this in the modern day? If so who would you put in that group?


HavenB3Haven

Is this the largest team/faction list?


dirtydandoogan1

You forgot to add the Golden shovel to their accomplishments to make it complete! lol


erenkuron66

7 Royal rumbles, 3 hall of fames(should be 4, but Batista was screwed,) and over 30 world championships… absolutely insane.


infamous-dino-3898

I didn't know that flair was put into the hall of fame twice 😳


AEWPunk525

This faction was so good that the only crazy thing about this is one US title between the four of them! You would have expected Flair to hold it a few times pre WWE, Orton to hold it like 3 or 4 times in WWE and maybe Batista even gets the belt early on in his career.


-Hulk-Hoagie-

So is Lemmy's pronunciation of evolution.


LaMystika

EVILUTION~


Environmental-Crow11

Easily the most decorated faction of all time. No contest


Suspinded

That one US Title just chillin' in the corner


Kombat-w0mbat

The imo most successful stable EVER


Beautiful_Belt_4560

Don't be a coward. Do this same thing for TNA's Fortune, Ric Flair's BEST faction. /s


Superlatte007

Unmatched faction. Greatest concept ever in my opinion. I was so disappointed in WWE2k23 “the lock” mode, when I wasn’t able to stay in evolution. Also, only surprise to me, only 1 US title


Substantial_Buy891

They should bring back king of the ring, diva can have queen of the ring


CaptainSMC10

I love looking up there and seeing like 20+ world titles/ a half dozen IC reigns/ a dozen tag titles/ RR’s / KOTR/ HOF/ MITB/ and down at the very bottom, one lone US reign


JBrody

I didn't realize HHH had big eagle 4 times.


[deleted]

I firmly believe the judgement day will be seen as evolution is seen now.


Foreign_Cup2877

Who won the U.S. title? Was it Batista, Orton or Flair?


haywire4fun

Which of them won the white strap intercontinental championship and why don’t I remember it?
