3 WWE factions that broke up way too soon & 3 that went on for too long

#2. Broken up too soon by WWE: The Straight Edge Society

WWE's most hated faction at one point - The Straight Edge Society

CM Punk's Straight Edge Society made a huge impact in WWE but lasted less than a year. When looking back on it, their run seems a lot longer, but that perhaps has to do with how impactful it was.

Punk became WWE's most hated heel in 2009 when he constantly trashed Jeff Hardy for his real-life alcohol and drug abuse issues. After beating him in a "Loser leaves WWE" match to retain the World Heavyweight title, it planted the seeds for The Straight Edge Society.

The basis of The Straight Edge Society was promoting the "straight edge" lifestyle that CM Punk followed - no alcohol, no drugs, and no smoking. He "rescued" Festus and with his straight edge ways, turned him into the dominant enforcer Luke Gallows.

He even recruited Serena and Joey Mercury, and the four-person faction became the most entertaining part of WWE television. As a heel, CM Punk got great comeuppance in his feud against Rey Mysterio. He eventually went bald, but Serena's release from WWE put a halt to their run.

Eventually, the faction disbanded when they lost to The Big Show and CM Punk turned on Luke Gallows. He defeated him in a singles match and Gallows would get released by WWE soon after. It was an unfortunate outcome. Punk would go on to have the run of his career a year later, but one can't help but feel that The Straight Edge Society was disbanded too soon.
