One of the most widely reported stories these past few weeks in the WWE is the formation of a new stable to be led by Triple H. "New Evolution" as it seems to have been dubbed has had three out of its potential four members already confirmed.
Triple H is the leader, obviously. And, Joining him are two powerhouses in the form of former WWE Universal Champion, Kevin Owens, as well as the latest addition to the Monday Night Raw roster, Samoa Joe.
While the fourth member is as yet unconfirmed, a number of names have been thrown around from Shinsuke Nakamura to Pete Dunne to Charlotte Flair. Regardless of who this fourth mystery member is, WrestleMania 33 offers a prime opportunity to officially form this “New Evolution” stable and get them on the road to dominating Raw.
So, without further ado, here are five ways "New Evolution" can be formed at WrestleMania 33:
#5 Pete Dunne makes an appearance
This I'll admit is the most unlikely of all the scenarios, and that's why it comes in at number 5 on the list. Pete Dunne has made a real name for himself at the WWE's UK Championship tournament and has all the heelish tendencies it takes to be a part of the New Evolution group.
He's just 23 years old and would be the perfect youngster to take his place amongst the three existing veterans in the group. The Bruiserweight could make an appearance and take out Austin Aries if the latter wins the Cruiserweight Championship from Neville at WrestleMania 33.
The WWE have already teased an alliance between Dunne and Trips during the UK Championship Tournament, and they can build on this storyline by introducing him as the final member of Hunter's posse on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Just because the scenario is unlikely, doesn't mean it wouldn't be awesome to see.
#4 Charlotte joins New Evolution
It has already been established in storyline that Stephanie McMahon knew exactly what her husband was doing when he cost Seth Rollins the Universal Championship.
The WWE's creative team can push this by having Stephanie help Charlotte regain her WWE Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 33 thereby cementing her place as the fourth member of New Evolution.
It's high time the women in the WWE get a chance of being part of some main event storylines, and there is no better candidate from Raw's women's division than Charlotte Flair.
It would also be a great tribute to the original Evolution. From Ric Flair mentoring Triple H to Hunter mentoring Ric's daughter, Charlotte.
#3 Samoa Joe helps Kevin Owens against Chris Jericho
It seems almost certain at this point that Kevin Owens will defeat Chris Jericho to become the new WWE US Champion. It makes perfect sense as Jericho is about to embark on a tour with his band, Fozzy, and putting over Owens at WrestleMania 33 would be the ideal way for Y2J to sign off.

There is another possibility here, though, which should not be ignored. WWE creative can put Samoa Joe in a position to help KO win the US Title and further cement their status as allies.
This will ensure that Joe makes an impact at WrestleMania 33 even without a match while at the same time establishing both him and Owens as despicable heels whose ambition is to help Triple H dominate the Raw roster.
#2 New Evolution lays out Brock Lesnar
It's almost certain that Brock Lesnar will walk out of Orlando as the new WWE Universal Champion; it's the logical conclusion to the storyline that started as Survivor Series.
And, what better way there for New Evolution to make an impact than to take out The Beast Incarnate himself after his match against Goldberg? It would establish the stable as the most dominant group on Raw and put them directly in the main event picture.
And, Samoa Joe vs. Brock Lesnar? What a dream match that would be.
#1 Attack Seth Rollins after his match against Triple H
Seth Rollins has to win against Triple H at WrestleMania 33. Let's get that out of the way. What can be done, though, is have Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe come down to the ring after the match has ended to help Trips take out Seth Rollins.
This ultimately establishes the link between the three men and confirms without a shadow of a doubt that New Evolution is going to be a dominant stable for the foreseeable future.
You could also build on some future feuds by having Finn Balor or Sami Zayn come out and help Seth Rollins as the Irishman is without a match at Mania as well. Who doesn't want to see Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens and even more importantly Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe which was the greatest feud in the history of NXT!
