Who might replace Batista in Evolution?

[Prince Bálor]

McIntyre can never be pushed again. 3MB is perma-stank on your career. It won't come off.

Oh yeah, let's have 3 very talented individuals (McIntyre, Slater & Mahal) be entertaing aka play clowns and be jabronis

WWE logic.

Sheamus is older than Orton and already an estabished main-eventer who has won multiple world titles.

Well, Batista was older than HHH in the older Evolution but was still considered one of the young guys in the group. In Sheamus' case I don't think age itself is a problem, the fact he has already main evented for a while can work against it but he's been lost in the shuffle long enough for the angle to work imo. It's true that Cody would infact fit the picture better but I don't think Sheamus wouldn't fit it at all, it'd be fine.

Yeah, I think it's more likely they would look for a member to be the "future." It's also a big opportunity to give someone their first push that can't really fail. Should be Cody IMO.

Indeed if I had to pick I'd pick Cody over Sheamus, no doubt.

Sadly, that's probably right.

Cody Rhodes, Dolph or Bo Dallas.

Apparently Batista is taking time off after Extreme Rules, leaving a spot available in the stable. With Evolution being about the past, present and future, bringing in a young guy makes sense.

I think it will be Cody Rhodes. It's about time he got a proper push and they are already teasing the split from Goldust. His look is perfect for Evolution too. If they want someone from NXT, Mason Ryan would be the best choice imo.

IT'S *NOT* REPEAT **NOT** "EVOLUTION," WHEN THE 4TH MEMBER OF "EVOLUTION" IS NOT THERE!!!!!!! IT'S JUST A TRIO OF WRESTLERS !!!!!!!!!!

It is semantics. If they call themselves Evolution, represent 75% of the original Evolution and come out to Evolution's theme... hey yo, its Evolution.

Were you pouting when NWO came to WWE like "WTF! No Virgil?? No Syxx?? No Buff Bagwell? THIS IS NOT NWO!!!"

Hell yes!!! Not only was he buff, He was the stuff!!!

He works as an escort now, you might have a chance.

I'm trying to think outside the box but I still keep coming back to Cody. It just seems like the perfect role for him, seeing as he's not totally over so that he has a lot to benefit from this but also that he's too 'well-equipped' to be lost in the shuffle and that this can be a good way for him to reach that next level. Cody Rhodes seems like a future star, he has the Evolution look, we know he can play a good variety of heel characters and we know he would gain quite a lot from such a role without looking too inexperienced.

Rusev? No. I really don't see that. If the biggest reason for the argument is that he needs to do something other than squashing people... why? Doing squash matches doesn't mean creative has got nothing for him, it's obvious that they're going the Ryback route (only more carefully, I'd think) with him and he's most likely going to end up with a program. Squash matches are not a waste of time, so I'm thinking he has got his own program at the moment and I don't see him just getting pulled out of that so they can desperately fill in that 'big guy' for Evolution.

Ambrose did cross my mind as well as Cody for a second, but that's more so just me thinking that he needs his own little spotlight as he has definitely been the inferior of the Shield, sadly. Ambrose is a natural heel, and having him as a part of Evolution could generate some genuine heel heat for not only going over to the jock assholes everyone hates, but for sticking his finger up to the team everybody loved and cared for and abruptly ending it.

I'm thinking that they could also just keep it Orton and HHH dominating shit individually with Flair talking shit and hyping his boys, but I'd rather see a fresh face benefit from an opportunity like this.

It's like saying HHH & HBK coming out to break it down, in green shirts, doing crotch chops and shouting suck it isn't DX cos the other jobbers aren't there
