WWE’s Evolution stable was one of the most dominant in the company’s history. It comprised of Batista and Randy Orton, Triple H and Ric Flair. it launched the careers of Batista and Orton. However, it seems they themselves did not think of the name.
During his ARN Show podcast, Arn Anderson revealed that he came up with the name Evolution for the stable. After understanding the idea behind the group, he came up with the name that will forever be etched in wrestling history.
“I named them. Vince had us all in there when he listened to us. This was back in a time prior to Randy or Batista or (John) Cena getting their push. He had this new group of talent he brought in from the schools and said, ‘Guys, who are going to be our stars of tomorrow? Who do you guys think so far that has it?’ It was Cena, Randy and Dave.”
While all four Superstars went their separate ways, it cannot be denied just how important the group was for WWE in general.
