Evolution can be considered as one of the most powerful factions in the history of WWE. Prior to The Shield’s incoming, many would believe that the Ruthless Aggression Era was stronger than any other group in pro wrestling history. It had four members under the faction namely, Ric Flair, Triple H, Batista, and Randy Orton.
In combined, Evolution shares 50 world title reigns, which is an incredible statistic, unmatchable to anything. Triple H was the founding member of the group while Flair was the mentor who took the two newbies, Orton and Batista under their wings. The four of them traveled together in plenty of towns, but they weren’t party animals like Four Horsemen used to be.
While speaking to Wrestling Inc, Ric Flair revealed about the partying days of Evolution from the past. The Naitch said that he never saw Triple H have more than a glass of wine, while he would sip about six steaks a day. Randy Orton wasn’t really a drinker and neither was Batista. But they never had a dull time during those party days.

Evolution members didn’t drink much except for Flair
“Hunter doesn’t drink at all, so I’d drink and Hunter would eat a steak. Randy doesn’t drink much at all, maybe a couple drinks. Dave, I would get to come out once in a while, but those guys were so attentive to their physiques. The drinking thing just was starting to wind down with the guys, and those guys put so much time in the gym. To look like that, you gotta work hard.
The drinking wasn’t really a part of it. I got all of them to come out one night or another, but not Hunter. I’ve seen Hunter maybe have one glass of wine. Hunter would spend more money on food at the bar than I would spend on booze. The guy would eat six New York strip [steaks] a day, I’m telling ya!”

Evolution eventually split up as those men had to focus on their singles career, instead. But before everyone headed their separate way, they managed to create a ton of memories in the process. Seeing the stable members together does give the fans goosebumps, to date. But it can only happen for one-off occasions, nowadays.
The last time, Evolution was back together inside the same ring was in 2018 during SmackDown 1000 episode. The four of them walked down through the memory lane before Batista ruined the day with a jab towards Triple H. That eventually laid out the foundation for a WrestleMania match between the two in 2019 where Ric Flair was involved. It marked the end of a wrestling career for Batista.
