WWE Announces Week-Long Celebration For A Legendary Faction

WWE

WWE has announced a week-long celebration for a legendary faction.

In February 2003, Triple H and Ric Flair introduced a brand new stable that would represent the past, present and future of the business.

This group would become known as Evolution with Triple H and Ric Flair serving as mentors for two young up-and-comers in Randy Orton and Batista.

This year marks 20 years since the inception of a group that would dominate the promotion for the better part of two years after their introduction, so the company will be celebrating them.

The WWE Twitter account announced that Evolution will be celebrated all week long across their social channels this week. They tweeted:

Twenty years ago this month, one of the most dominant factions in WWE history stormed onto the scene with the emergence of Evolution.

Stay tuned to WWE social channels all week long for a celebration of Evolution!

The website wrote the following statement in regards to the celebration of the Triple H-led group:

Twenty years ago this month, one of the most dominant factions in WWE history stormed onto the scene with the emergence of Evolution.

Led by Triple H, Evolution represented the best of the past, present and future of sports-entertainment in 2003, combining The Game and 16-time World Champion Ric Flair with two potent newcomers who’d go on to become legends in their own right, Batista and Randy Orton.

The group steamrolled competition on Raw during The Ruthless Aggression Era — at one point, all four members held championship gold simultaneously — all while flaunting their enviable lifestyle, whether it was designer clothing, luxury cars or a custom entrance song performed by Motörhead. After disbanding in 2005, Evolution reunited a handful of times throughout the years, most recently at SmackDown 1000 in 2018.

In celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Evolution’s formation, WWE social channels will be paying tribute to the groundbreaking faction all week long. Be on the lookout for classic full-length matches, a special Evolution-themed episode of WWE Playlist, rare photos and more, and be sure to join the festivities by sharing your favorite memories of the group using hashtag #EvolutionWeek

Evolution last appeared as a unit back on WWE SmackDown 1000 back in 2018, which led into the Triple H vs. Batista match at WrestleMania 35 a year later.
