However, in later years other groups formed. Notably groups like; The Nation of Domination, Evolution, and The Shield.

Not since then has their been a dominant faction in WWE. But outside the WWE brand factions have been the mainstay of most promotions.

In NJPW, Bullet Club started with Finn Balor, and has progressed exponentially. Their development and popularity gave rise to the group; The Elite, consisting of hot prospects; Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes, and Adam Page. At present they are extremely lucrative for the wrestling industry.

In modern WWE another group have risen to similar heights, their name is; Undisputed Era. In past years all four members; Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, and Bobby Fish performed in Ring of Honor.

During that time, some members formed the group Future Shock, (watch the video below). Since 2017, the group has dominated NXT, being involved in two WarGames matches.

Moreover, having the accolades of; NXT Tag Team and North American championships. Fans are wondering when they will debut on Raw and SmackDown. Here are three possible options.

#3 An Open Challenge

The idea of an Open Challenge has been synonymous with WWE for years now. Notable examples include that of John Cena's Open Challenge for the United States championship.

Even recently Ronda Rousey issued an Open Challenge leading to Natalya's Gauntlet match victory on December 17th during Raw. It is an excellent way to generate excitement among fans.

Recently tag team wrestling has suffered on RAW and SmackDown, with poorly planned matches.

However, there are exceptions, like; The Bar's championship defence at TLC 2018. Nevertheless, a refreshed outlook is needed.

Moreover, perhaps a reshuffle of teams. An excellent way to develop tag team wrestling is new teams. Therefore, opening an opportunity for Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly. Just imagine they debut on the main roster.

Adam Cole and Roderick Strong are factors in the group. Therefore, how could they debut? Ultimately, the entire group could debut together in any capacity.

However, due to the Freebird Rule, any two members could team together. Therefore, Undisputed Era could challenge for singles or tag team championships in an Open Challenge scenario.

#2 Entering the Royal Rumble

This year, Adam Cole and Roderick Strong competed in Royal Rumble matches, albeit at separate events.

Cole entered the January Royal Rumble event. Whereas, Strong entered the Greatest Royal Rumble. Their respective performances proved to fans their capability of working on the main roster, (watch the video below).

The Royal Rumble is merely a month away. Therefore, speculation begins to arise concerning who will enter the match.

Considering past Rumble matches what could fans expect? For example, in 2016, AJ Styles debuted during the Royal Rumble. Thus it is feasible for Undisputed Era to debut in the Rumble match.

Let's say Undisputed Era debut during the Rumble match. What could happen? Ultimately all members could enter, and work together.

It would be reminiscent of CM Punk's efforts at Royal Rumble 2011, (watch the video below). A debut in this manner would be perfect for the group. Moreover, it would maintain their legitimacy.

In 2002, RAW and SmackDown became separate brands and what followed was the first draft lottery. It was a battle between Ric Flair and Vince McMahon.

The results were exciting and hilarious to witness, (watch the video below). Since then WWE has held numerous drafts, now called the SuperStar Shake Up since 2017.

This years draft will likely follow WrestleMania as usual. There will be NXT call-ups, and perhaps new arrivals from outside WWE.

Could The Elite turn up in WWE, even with recent speculation? Considering there is no guaranteed news, it is still likely. One such group which could likely factor is Undisputed Era.

During the draft, WWE could play this out in numerous ways. The entire group could debut. Or perhaps individual members could be drafted one after the other.

Either way, the draft is the best way to debut Undisputed Era. Moreover, it builds either brands legitimacy, similar to when The Shield were together.
