Wrestling stables are one of the biggest things not only in WWE but all of professional wrestling. Camaraderie and tensions both emerge between the stablemates.
Over the years, we have seen stables break and then reunite to become a more dominant force, much to the delight of fans.
In this article, we look at five WWE stables that reunited after falling apart:
Special Mention - WWE Stable - D-Generation X
D-Generation X originated amid The Attitude Era in 1997. The stable was formed by WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels and Triple H, along with the late Chyna.
They had just one objective: to defy authority and become one of the most admired factions at the time. When Michaels took a leave of absence in 1998, Triple H became the leader and added X-Pac and the New Age Outlaws.
The group dissolved in 2000, reuniting in 2006 when HBK and The Game came together as babyfaces to challenge Vince and Shane McMahon. The team would continue their journey until late 2009, feuding with teams like Jeri-Show (Chris Jericho and The Big Show).
The duo reunited once again in 2018 when they beat The Brothers of Destruction at the Crown Jewel event.
#5. WWE Stable - The Hart Foundation
The Hart Foundation originated in WWE back in 1985 when WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart partnered with his brother-in-law Jim Neidhart to form one of the most dominant forces.
They would dominate the tag team scene until the early 90s when Bret decided to carve his journey as a singles competitor with much success. The stable was reformed in 1997 by Bret, the late Owen Hart, the British Bulldog, Jim Neidhart, and their family friend Brian Pillman. At the time, they worked as heels feuding with D-Generation X.
In 2008 a reincarnated version of the Hart Foundation would take shape as the Hart Dynasty, with third-generation superstars in Natalya (daughter of the late Jim Neidhart), David Hart Smith (son of the late British Bulldog), and Tyson Kidd. The faction would continue their run until 2010 while also claiming the WWE Tag Team Championship.
#4 WWE Stable - The Original Club
The O.C., previously called The Bullet Club in New Japan Pro Wrestling, consisted of current WWE Superstar AJ Styles and former superstars Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
Styles, Gallows, and Anderson came together to form the O.C. in May 2016. The group initially feuded with Roman Reigns and The Usos before disbanding within two months. After reuniting in 2019, the trio continued their run until 2020, when Gallows and Anderson were released from the company due to the Covid-19 pandemic-related budget cuts.
During their second run, Gallows and Anderson won the RAW Tag Team Championships, and AJ Styles was the United States Champion making all three members of the O.C. champions.
#3 WWE Stable - The Hurt Business
The Hurt Business has been one of the most dominant heel factions in WWE in recent times.
Bobby Lashley, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander came together to form this stable in May 2020. With the group, Lashley became the United States Champion and the WWE Champion. Alexander & Benjamin were also the RAW Tag Team Champions.
The group continued its dominant run until the end of March 2021 as Alexander and Benjamin were kicked out. The stable reunited on the September 27 RAW when the latter duo helped Lashley fight off the New Day.
#2 WWE Stable - Evolution
Evolution was one of the biggest heel stables in WWE from 2003 to 2005. The stablemates Ric Flair, Triple H, Batista, and Randy Orton, were on a path of destruction.
They had some memorable feuds with Booker T, Edge, Shawn Michaels, and one of the greatest ECW icons, Rob Van Dam. The group dissolved in 2005 as Batista and Triple H started feuding with each other, with Orton already leaving beforehand.
The stable reunited in 2014 to take on the up-and-coming stable, The Shield. The stables went on to have some epic feuds.
Evolution would again come together on the 1000 episode of SmackDown in 2018 during a heated exchange between Batista and Triple H, leading to them clashing at WrestleMania the following year.
#1 WWE Stable - The Shield
The Shield, consisting of reigning Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Jon Moxley (FKA Dean Ambrose), was among the greatest factions in WWE.
They debuted at Survivor Series 2012 and began to dominate the roster. Their rivalry with Evolution and later the Authority was one for the ages.
The faction dissolved in 2014 when Seth Rollins turned his back on Reigns and Ambrose. They reunited in 2017 during their feud with The Miz, Cesaro, and Sheamus. 'The Hounds of Justice' also had some epic bouts with the team of Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, and Drew McIntyre.
In 2019, their last match as a group happened at a special event on the WWE Network called The Shield's Final Chapter. The stable beat the team of Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre in the main event, making them truly one of the best factions in WWE.
