3 Makeshift WWE factions that failed and 2 that succeeded

#3 Failed: The League of Nations

The WrestleMania 32 storyline between Triple H and Roman Reigns began with Sheamus cashing in his Money In The Bank contract on “The Big Dog” at Survivor Series 2015 to end his WWE Championship reign after just 5 minutes and 15 seconds.

At the time, Reigns had been offered a place in The Authority by Triple H. When he refused, HHH and the rest of his villainous group, including Vince McMahon, repeatedly tried to prevent the former Shield member from reclaiming the WWE Championship.

In a bid to hold Reigns down, Sheamus joined forces with three other heels on the roster – Alberto Del Rio, Rusev and Wade Barrett – and the makeshift quartet did everything they could to make life difficult for WWE’s top good guy.

Eventually, the storyline became all about Triple H and Reigns, while Barrett often played the role of manager as Del Rio, Rusev & Sheamus competed in relatively meaningless tag team matches.

On paper, this might have seemed like a good idea. In reality, it felt like all four League of Nations members were being wasted once Sheamus lost his title to Reigns.
