The WWE Universe is seemingly intrigued by the alliance of Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman. Triple H is known to be a big fan of faction wars in pro wrestling, which we've seen more of in recent years. Randy Orton is no stranger to dominant stables, and now he's revealing potential recruits for the new RAW heels if the group really is a mirror of Evolution like the rumor mill claims.

Evolution is widely regarded as one of the greatest factions of all-time. Ric Flair represented the past, Triple H represented the present, and the future was claimed by Batista and the son of "Cowboy" Bob Orton. Fans have compared Evolution to Rollins, Breakker, and Heyman as of late, but critics warn that it's too early to tell the mark The Wise Man and his crew will leave. The debate has fueled discussions on potential additions to the faction.

The Apex Predator believes two young talents could assume his role in The Visionary's faction if they were to choose a rising WWE star to join the ranks as he did years ago. Speaking to Billboard, Orton named NXT's 25-year-old Myles Borne and RAW's 27-year-old Austin Theory as those who could properly portray the young Randy Orton of the group. The Borne name-drop is very interesting, given their viral history. The STL native was asked to fantasy book a young wrestler to take that role if Rollins is Triple H, Breakker is Batista, and Heyman is Flair.

"Gosh. That’s a tough-a*s question. So, you got a kid in NXT named Myles [Borne]. A lot of people compare me to him, and I guess he’s got some mannerisms. Maybe there’s a little bit of how we look similar, so his name pops up right away. I’ve seen him work, and he’s a bada** in the ring. He’d be up there. But I’ve always been an Austin Theory fan. I feel like he just needed to mature a little bit — just like we all do ’cause he started young," Orton said.

Randy Orton continued:

"But starting that young and having that much going for you, you’re ahead of the game. Now that he’s becoming a man, so to speak, before our eyes, I could see him finding who he is in that ring and settling down and being the fourth member for a group like that. And I did hear they’re comparing that new faction to Evolution, and all I can say is that I’m honored. That’s awesome. I love that they’re still talking about stuff that I’ve done 20 years ago today. I take pride in that," Orton said.

Evolution returned to WWE in April 2014, minus Flair, and humbled The Shield on RAW. The full group reunited at SmackDown 1000 in 2018, but the segment went sideways after Orton insulted everyone and Batista had words with Triple H.

Seth Rollins touts next class of potential WWE stars

Seth Rollins is busy being The Visionary of WWE RAW with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker. However, the fan-favorite heel still finds time to run The Black & Brave Wrestling Academy with Marek Brave.
