Prolog

The three remaining members of Evolution had finally done it. They vowed from the moment the celebration ended, that one day he would not be able to walk out of an arena.

Friendships, loyalties and trust was a thing of the past for a person that at one time had been considered the youngest most impressionable member of the elite group. A group that refused to rely on anyone but the handful of men that created it. A group that annihilated anything that stood in the way of the goals they set for themselves.

No one had been prepared for what may occur if one of those men got what another wanted, couldn't fathom that the group might fold on one of its own.

But it happened. At the panicle of their hard work one member did what the others had tried but failed to accomplish.

Randy Orton busted his ass and was the last man standing in an over the top Battle Royal, making himself the number one contender for the next pay-per-view World Title Match. In the end, he defeated Chris Benoit and won the gold, but the next night Chris challenged him for a rematch. During this time his fellow Evolution members backed him up completely. So much so, that at the time when it looked as though he might lose the belt, the other men came to his rescue. Randy covered his challenger and got the 1-2-3.

Afterwards, all four members rejoiced in the ring, lifting Randy high for all to see, but then things changed. Randy soon found himself flat on his back while his mentors and friends turned on him, beating him to an unconscious bloody mess, and above all else... he was alone.

The next week a plan evolved. Dave Bautista, the man he was closest to, paid him a visit in his private locker room with a demand. They wanted him, in return for safety, to lie down and lose the only thing he had left to show for his career. No apologies. No reasons. Just a choice.

An hour later, he was called to the ring. As an outsider you would have taken one look at his face and thought he had been defeated, that he was coming to the ring to hand over the top prize of the business. Then Randy did the unthinkable... he spit in the face of their ultimatum and the man he once idolized.

After that turn in events, his one time friends tried to bring him down, even after he lost what had started the battle in the first place. One at a time, they took every opportunity that presented itself to get their hands on the young wrestler, trying to physically beat him out of the career he was just starting to excel in... But Randy had always remained standing.

So the trio waited... bided their time until they felt that their deceiver thought he was safe, that they had moved on to someone else... and then they struck.

Armed with anything they could get their hands on they bombarded the ring. Swinging at anything or anyone that got in their way. Kicks, fists, chairs and a sledgehammer filled the four cornered box until the only thing that remained was carnage.

Earl, Edge and Randy had no chance, all of them having to be toted out of the arena in ambulances and taken to the nearest hospital.

The last, lingering images from RAW that night, were the stunned faces of the audience and a blood stained ring.
