Batista sucks, Orton sucks and Flair can barely speak anymore.
Did we all forget how un-Evolution they were just 4 years ago? Just dudes in new Evolution shirts to help sell.

That was the point of the story. They weren’t the guys of old. They didn’t even like each other that much. But to beat The Shield they needed to come together. The storyline was solid and gave us two great matches.

This is cool. Hopefully it's the launch of Batista's last match against Triple H at WM.

- Last I checked Batista was on Smackdown Live during its prime years because he was "The Man" on that show from 2005-2008 as he, Taker and Edge more or less carried that show. HHH was on Smackdown Live but only for like a year from 2008-09 and Orton has been there more or less since the Brand Split or even before that. Flair was there from 2007 until 2008 with the whole retirement angle but he was more or less appearing on both RAW and Smackdown Live.
- Well, Evolution as a group I too associate them more with RAW than Smackdown Live because they never were on Smackdown Live as a group. Now individually by themselves separate they were on Smackdown Live at one time or another but together all 4 of them it has never happened. However, seeing them truly reunite as a group with Nature Boy being involved in the reunion I can say that this is a true reunion.
- It takes away from the fact that Batista could have had his own segment for Smackdown Live 1000 seeing as how it is in his hometown of Washington DC but hey I could live with it just as long as he is back. I don't see this reunion even going well considering the fact that Orton more or less will probably attack Batista and or Flair. Triple H more or less will try to calm Orton down only for Orton to attack him too.

Should have been kept secret and would have been something real special for the fans in the arena and for the fans watching,also doesn't make a ton of sense to have a Evolution reunion on Smackdown because the stable was a RAW stable only.But I do like seeing Batista return and this should set up his final run now because of the delay of GOTG3 which might have just made a perfect storm for Batista & the WWE.I am assuming Batista will be a babyface for a final run have Randy Orton turning on him and Evolution(which would be a full circle moment because the rest of Evolution first turned on him after SummerSlam '04) to set up a match up at Survivor Series or even more long term at Wrestlemania.While not the best together in the ring theirs never really been a long term feud and series of match ups between Batista & Orton and that was a huge possible one on one match up at Wrestlemania that fans wanted to see dating all the way back to WM 22. Could be a fitting end to his career having Orton retiring him as both pretty much debut together and their big pushes and their careers starting in the same time and do to Evolution. This. I have a feeling a well booked Batista/Orton feud would bring out the best in both. Same goes for a Batista/HHH feud.

Why do I feel like Orton is gonna flatten Batista? I mean it’ll add to his whole current gimmick, could get Batista is final run he wants in a more than entertaining feud with Orton i.... want this to happen so much now. thank you

meh would rather them bring someone up from nxt or focus on someone who was actually on smackdown at one point, i dont recall evolution ever being on smackdown, im sure some people will be happy batistas back, but ive hardly been watching raw or smackdown lately anyways so it doesn't effect me, i watched a bit of smackdown this week, the aiden english rusev thing is fun to watch but i dont see it doing either of those guys any good, It’s SmackDown 1,000. It’s one show out of the year. There’s 51 other SmackDowns to watch the current and possibly upcoming talent. The show will center around the history of SmackDown and its past stars. Everything is gonna be alright.

He was the main merch seller and over as hell with the kids.

He was their iron man for a few years but outside of his world title runs (totaling barely 5 months between them), Rey was not pushed as a top guy on the brand. He had a few world title fights here and there but Lesnar, Angle, Batista, Edge, and Taker were pushed as the top guys ahead of Rey during that time.

Evolution was never even a group on Smackdown so pretty weird. All I can think is that this will lead to a feud at Mania between Batista and Triple H. I thought the same thing

That's strange they've never appeared on Smackdown as a group. That's what I was saying. I don't really get it, but whatever, I guess.
