Calling it now: Rollins joins Evolution

[mrbananagrabber]

They want a young guy, the future of the business? It's Rollins. Ambrose is too nuts, Reigns is the face..Rollins in a suit hanging with Orton etc? I can totally see it.

I don't particularly want it to happen, but I'm putting it out there now that it's going to happen. Yessir.

[metylerca]

When did they say Evolution wants a young guy to be the future?

[Blindkarevik]

I think people expect it due to how Evolution started with Flair being the veteran, Triple H the top of the company, Batista the enforcer and Orton the future.

Honestly, I don't see this incarnation of Evolution sticking around too long. It just seems to be a deal where it makes sense to put Batista, Orton and Triple H together as they all felt anger towards Daniel Bryan and now with The Shield in the mix. It's a deal where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't... if the three just teamed up to face The Shield... we'd be asking, "Why aren't they coming out to "Line In The Sand?" Why are they not referred to as Evolution?" and now that they are, the question is, "When are they going to add their fourth member?"

I guess time will tell. If Evolution is planned to go forward for the foreseeable future then yeah, I could see them adding someone else. But really, I think it's more where all three make sense to team up storyline-wise, and since they have history together as Evolution, they're calling it that just by happenstance.

I don't see it lasting long either and more of a platform for Batista to turn face by turning on Evolution (again)

[Evil Homer]

there is no way they stay together more than a couple of months. I just hope Flair makes at least one apperance with them.

I'd be shocked (SHOCKED) if Evolution is still together by the time the Raw after SummerSlam goes off the air. Likely even before then.

I didn't watch Raw last night, was there ANY hint of this happening whatsoever?

No.

I don't get where people are getting the idea that Seth is turning.

[ayumidah]

Considering those reports that Batista apparently is taking time off after Extreme Rules, I don't see Evolution lasting long enough to need a younger guy. *shrug*

I don't either. It's pretty clear that WWE has no immediate plans to break up the group, considering the fact that they booked an on-air resolution to the breakup angle just a little over a month ago. Rollins did that "Are we done here? Or, are we done?" promo, they all bumped fists, and they've shown zero sign of friction since. I think WWE realized that A) Reigns wasn't ready for regular singles action, and B) They are ridiculously over as a group, and have a ton of moneymaking potential with T-Shirts, etc. I'm sure they'll be selling replicas of the skull masks before too long.

Well there is definitely a spot there for someone to fill, I would like to see Titus O'Neal fill it being that he has a Frat-boy background but HHH's (and HBK's with the Booker T SCM to 'kick' him outta the nWo) covert racism might stop that from happening.

I wouldn't mind Reigns in Evolution, but only if they get Flair to come back and induct him officially.

No. Just no. To any/all of that.

I don't think Titus or Reigns would fit. Not because of racism or anything like that, but because I think a powerhouse "hoss" would be made redundant by Batista's presence.

[champviadq]

I don't see it. Evolution is a trio of heels. Rollins turned face a couple of weeks ago. He's fine where he is.

[blake6905]

Lol great minds think alike... I got the same feeling during his promo on raw... Here's the thread I made shortly after officialfan.proboards.com/thread/497628/seth-rollins-heel-turn

[RIHT]

If anything, I see Dean Ambrose turning on The Shield, not necessarily joining Evolution, but I think Shield winning at Extreme Rules is too easy of an option.

[Deleted]

Nah, nah, nah.

If anything he joins forces with Wyatt to do an Age of the Fall type thing.

[Grand Papillon "The Banker"]

OK, to combine all of the ideas into one big theory.

What if the 6 man tag match turns into a 4 on 2 beatdown where HHH, Orton, Ambrose, and Rollins unite and beat the hell out of Reigns and Batista?

1) It fits the original formula of one past, part-time wrestling legend (HHH doing the Flair role), one current top-star (Orton doing the HHH role)and 2 future stars (Ambrose and Rollins)

2) It sets Reigns up to have to go through his ex-Shield buddies and Orton in order to get to HHH in time for Summerslam

3) It writes Batista off tv, and sets him up to be a face when he returns to promote his movie. I have no idea if he will be any better received this time around, but it can't go much worse. He was the one that Bryan beat for the belt so this could be his punishment by HHH.

I think, with the word Batista's taking time off, what will happen is the Shield will beat Evolution and in particular do something nasty to him to write him out for a bit. Then, Orton drops that and goes back to gunning for Bryan, while Triple H focuses his efforts on the Shield and puts together some other team - possibly recruiting the Wyatts for it - to try and wipe them out, and eventually that leads to the rumored match with Reigns while Ambrose and Rollins just do something else in the meantime. I don't think anyone's turning before that match happens if it is indeed the plan, partially since it'd be a distraction from the story at hand and partially because they're probably going to want to see if Reigns can sink or swim against a veteran who can carry him before they go full-force on his push.

[mizerable]

Evolution in it's current incarnation is what Trips wants for the business, or what he believes is best. The only way it's going to get any addition is if Trips starts anew, and that would totally suck ass.

Maybe they should add Mason Ryan. Then Batista could quip something like "What, are you supposed to be me?"
