The above image shows three guys who all worked their assess off at Wrestlemania. Dave Batista gets a lot of complaints for being out of shape etc. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED WORKING THAT HARD AFTER HAVING A FEW YEARS OFF? You're gonna get rusty. Thats just natural. At mania though he showed he could still hold a strong match. While he may not have been the key component in the match he was very much a strong element of it. And yes he is a heel which leads to my next point.
The Shield took a baby face turn recently and squashed Kane and The Outlaws at WM30 but where did that leave them? They had no heel opponents except The Authority. Once they attacked the authority I think we all knew what was due to happen. We get Evolution back. Now Evolution is comprised of three guys who do all of their best work as heels. And guess what? THEY ARE HEELS NOW. The Shield needed a group to fight with that could keep them in the spotlight and to help cement them as faces for a while. Evolution is perfect for this. HHH has been a great heel over the last few months, Orton can turn whenever he needs to and the fans want to boo Batista so why not let them? Evolution dominated Raw for a good year and a half and thats one of the elements that can keep this feud interesting. We know what they are capable of so we are kept hooked to see what happens.

The Shield are all great workers and they look even better when they have guys who can go just as well as they can. Unlike most people I like Orton, Batista and HHH because i recognise how damn good they are in the ring. Batista's throw down, hard hitting style works as the perfect opposition for Rollins. Orton is just as methodical as Ambrose without looking like a jittering psycho (Ambrose is a favourite of mine im not knocking him) and HHH is a great brawler who can really go toe to toe with Reigns. On that note we can also remember that Reigns is still new but this feud can really teach him some things. HHH has been around for a while and he knows how to help build a guy and how to carry a match, just look up his matches against Cena, Edge or Hardy. All The Shield guys are going to get some well deserved spotlight out of this match up.
The Shield need that last push as a team before they break them up into singles action. This whole feud was rumoured to be a way to get Roman Reigns into the spotlight and to have a match with HHH at Summerslam one on one. But my query is how long will Evolution last? Its being reported by Wrestlezone.com that Batista is due to take time off after Extreme Rules to promote GOTG. Guess his chances of being triple powerbombed through the announce table just sky rocketed? If this is true then surely Evolution will be a short and quick stint. But while I know The Shield will all get a push from this it leaves me wondering what will happen with Randy Orton. You cant just leave a guy who was the undisputed WWEWHC on the sidelines now can you? I'd have him beat Ambrose for that US title and get some prestige back in it. Prestige via someone actually wanting it. Its not Deans fault that they didnt give him a story. Give some gold to the bad guys and see how long they can hold it.
The fact is The Shield will only benefit from this feud so people need to quit moaning about Evolution being back. Reigns will fight HHH at SummerSlam and one of the others turns heel at some point. Nothing bad there at all. We could get three great solo stars in different story lines or we could get one group who are beginning to run out of believable opposition. What would you rather? Yep I thought so. You want The Shield to split but not just yet. I agree with this because frankly I want to see Evolution vs The Shield because it will be a great match. DEAL WITH IT.
