#1 Failed: 3MB

Looking back, some of the matches and segments involving 3MB members Drew McIntyre, Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal between 2012-14 were actually somewhat entertaining.

But, when you consider that Mahal went on to become WWE Champion in 2017 and that many people now perceive McIntyre as a realistic World Champion one day, it is baffling that WWE’s decision-makers put the three men in a comedy faction and turned them into perennial losers almost every time they appeared on television.

The 3MB idea was all down to Slater but, as he revealed on Edge & Christian’s Pod of Awesomeness in May 2019, he wanted them to be a “cool” faction and not a group that nobody took seriously.

Interestingly, Slater also mentioned that his original pitch was to have Dean Ambrose, EC3 and Fandango alongside him, but he was given Mahal and McIntyre instead!
