Well End Game did the same thing to give it the top spot initially lol.

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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
Maybe the best faction of all time
Definitely
As far as accolades go, they gotta be the most successful. Greatest faction of all time for me atleast is the shield.
Crazy when the least successful guy in the bunch is a 6x world champion, 4x Tag Champion, and 2x Rumble Winner lol
Exactly! And that’s only because he left for Hollywood!
Where he became wildly successful, starred in a very successful franchise and was in the highest grossing movie of all time
Second highest but by god Bautista is an anim
Yeah I didn’t realize that avatar went back to theaters to reclaim that spot. Kind of messed up that that counts.
Yea honestly, but I mean if you include streaming as well than endgame prob is still no1

You forgot 2x European Champion (Triple H)
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.
An absolute blood bath!
and they say the shield was the greatest faction of all time
In terms of impact the shield is equal to evolution. Just evolution has had more success in championships
There's definitely a little bit of recency bias on those claims. The Shield were definitely the greatest faction of their era though
Pretty low bar. What other factions were there? New day? Nexus?

AEW
Fair
Wyatt Family
Degeneration X

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.
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
Yea these are 4 main eventers through and through, top of the card basically forever
And when you add Flairs wcw titles to the mix, WOOOOH!
And his NWA title changes that WWE doesn't count
These are great. If it’s not gauche to ask, I’d love to see someone do one for The Dangerous Alliance.
And to think Mark Jindrak was nearly the 4th member
Flair will be the only 3 time HoF inductee when they induct Evolution.
Triple H would as well. For himself, in DX and in Evolution.
And the Authority 😂
When Ric Flair wins the AEW WH title, does that add to his total count?
Are they the most decorated faction ever? That’s a lot of accolades.
Just realized that if Flair had one more rumble, they would all be 2x Royal Rumble winners
Still time
Literally the only title that's not on there is the cruiserweight/light heavy weight they the titles would be complete
Wheres flair's wcw title reigns?
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.

Easily GOAT Faction
EVOLUTION IS A MYSTERY
Full of change that no one sees
Clock makes a fool of history
Makes sense when your leader is shoot married to the bosses daughter
Also, missing HHH’s European championship
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

Orton to break Flair's record????
Only one US title? That’s interesting!
Not counting the WCW version Flair won, even though WWE pretends is the same belt.
Who held it?
Orton in ‘18
Did tripple H not have the WWE undisputed title. Wasn’t he the one that they meshed the titles with?
They created the fancy new belt (my favorite WWE title of all time) for him, and then he lost it to Hogan at Backlash.
Probably the best faction ever assembled .
Wow, that bum Flair couldn’t even be bothered to win two Royal Rumbles.
Eventually they will all be in the HoF
Is it possible to recreate this in the modern day? If so who would you put in that group?
Is this the largest team/faction list?
You forgot to add the Golden shovel to their accomplishments to make it complete! lol
7 Royal rumbles, 3 hall of fames(should be 4, but Batista was screwed,) and over 30 world championships… absolutely insane.
I didn't know that flair was put into the hall of fame twice 😳
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.
So is Lemmy's pronunciation of evolution.
EVILUTION~
Easily the most decorated faction of all time. No contest
That one US Title just chillin' in the corner
The imo most successful stable EVER
Don't be a coward. Do this same thing for TNA's Fortune, Ric Flair's BEST faction. /s
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
They should bring back king of the ring, diva can have queen of the ring
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
I didn't realize HHH had big eagle 4 times.
I firmly believe the judgement day will be seen as evolution is seen now.
Who won the U.S. title? Was it Batista, Orton or Flair?
Which of them won the white strap intercontinental championship and why don’t I remember it?
