Corporate Evolution

I have been complaining for months that The Authority did not have a legitimate stable surrounding them. The Shield looked like they would break up at times, and they have now officially turned face. Randy Orton and Triple H looked like they were always an inch away from starting a feud between themselves. The New Age Outlaws, who had not been relevant in the WWE for over 10 years, came back to support The Authority for a while. They forced Big Show to work for them. It just looked shaky for too long.

Things have changed. It seems like Randy Orton and Batista have gotten on the same page as Triple H. And Kane is still a member of the group. That is pretty much Evolution right there. With more of a corporate twist with The Authority. And I like that direction. Makes a strong heel front.

What do I have to complain about? I would not be an Internet wrestling fan unless I complained, right? First, this is kind of a change of direction from what you saw from the last few weeks. Randy Orton, Batista, and Triple H looked like they were all against each other. They wanted the title. Triple H had enough of their complaining. Randy Orton wasn't measuring up. Batista was insulting Stephanie McMahon. All of a sudden, you have a solid stable. That is, for a week, anyway. Can't tell whether WWE's inconsistency will hurt that new direction. And there is a second thing I did not like. When Batista and Orton went out there together, they just seemed like Triple H's mindless brutes. Triple H is the top heel and Orton and Batista are just his henchmen, along with Kane. Their individuality just seems killed. How long will that last. Right now, I don't think any of this is a big deal. They can always revisit the issues between Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista down the line. When that happens, Randy Orton and Batista will step out of Triple H's shadow and be more interesting. Overall, I think having them join forces will be good and it negates all the complaints I have.

Should Randy Orton and Batista win the tag titles? They had a chance to do it last week. The WWE could book them to do it. The only other heel team that really has a good chance to get the titles is The Wyatts. If Orton and Batista do win the titles, that can lead to The Shield eventually regaining it from them. Now that The Shield have been rejuvenated as faces, another run with the titles may not be a bad idea. And winning them from Batista and Orton would be big. It isn't like the WWE is likely to do too much more with The Usos. With the tag division still being so mediocre, The Usos have pretty much run through everything. Only thing left is to develop the team they will eventually lose to. Orton and Batista would not be bad. It would help this heel stable look even better.
