According to a source, the original plan was for Evolution to
defeat The Shield at Extreme Rules tonight. Those plans reportedly changed when
news came that Batista was going to take time off after tonight’s event.
However, with recent reports suggesting that Batista could stay
through the upcoming Payback event, the original plan of Evolution winning could
be back in effect. WWE was planning to continue the feud between Evolution and
The Shield after tonight, which could mean that the heels will likely go
over.
