3 WWE Stables that never really took off 

Stables have always been an integral part of a wrestling programming. From old-school factions like the Four Horsemen to the nWo to new-age groups like The New Day and The Shield, stables have always been a huge draw, both ratings, and merchandise wise. The height of Monday Night Wars saw DX of WWE and nWo of WCW battling it out for supremacy.

Stables have also acted as a breeding ground for young, upstart talents who have gone on to achieve megastardom, starting out in a stable. Names like Triple H, Batista, The Rock, and Roman Reigns spent the early part of their career as part of a stable which proved to be stepping stone for their later success as a singles star.

But, as with everything in life, there are hits and misses. There have been quite a few stables in WWE, which have failed to take off due to a variety of reasons. These stables didn't do anything to propel the careers of its members and will always be remembered as a failed experiment. Here are three such stables:

#3 The Club

The Good Brothers joined forces with Finn Balor for a brief period in 2018

The start of 2015 saw WWE sign four of the hottest in New Japan - Karl Anderson, Shinsuke Nakamura, Luke Gallows and AJ Styles. Styles, Gallows, and Anderson were at the height of popularity in the Land of the Rising as part of the legendary faction - Bullet Club. The trio signed with the WWE around the same time but Styles debuted on WWE TV at the Royal Rumble while Gallows and Anderson burst on the scene on the RAW after WrestleMania 32.

Styles joined forces with the Good Brothers when he turned heel during his feud with John Cena. After successfully beating up John Cena on multiple occasions, the trio would run rough shots over the Cenation Leader and the rest of the main roster before being dissolved hastily.

With Styles being drafted to SmackDown in the brand extension draft and Gallows and Anderson staying back on the red brand, the Club broke up before they gathered any steam. The group would re-form once again for a brief period with Finn Balor replacing AJ Styles, but that too didn't work and had to be scrapped.

#2 Dogs of War

The Dogs of War split up mere months after they came together

Although never officially billed as a stable, the trio of Dolph Ziggler, Drew Mcintyre, and Braun Strowman wreaked havoc on Monday Nights when they clashed with the newly re-united Shield in the fall of 2018. The reasoning behind this group joining forces was never really explained and this impromptu stable was destined to fail from the get-go.

For starters, it was quite odd to see Strowman, who was a one-man wrecking crew, till that point, join a stable. Strowman turning heel was unnecessary and this involvement in this stable did take away some steam off the Monster Among Men.

The main objective behind the formation of this stable was to get The Shield and Roman Reigns over, which it succeeded to a certain extent. The stable had a couple of 3-man tag matches against The Shield, a majority of which they ended up losing before disbanding a few months later.

#1 The Corre

Even the hardcore WWE fans might not remember 'The Corre'

Following his banishment from The Nexus after losing to CM Punk, Wade Barrett would move to SmackDown and the Brit would once again join forces with his former Nexus Stablemates, Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater. Ezekiel Jackson would join the group and the group referred to themselves as ' The Corre'. The group would feud with The Big Show for the majority of their run as an act.

The stable also held gold during this time with Gabriel and Slater Capturing the WWE Tag Team Championships at Elimination Chamber 2011 and Barett Winning the Intercontinental Championship. However, cracks would begin to appear in the group following Slater and Gabriel losing their tag titles to Kane and Big Show on an episode of SmackDown in April 2011.

Ezekiel Jackson became the first to bite the dust after he refused to celebrate the group's victory over Big Show after which he was attacked by Barett, Gabriel, and Slater. Jackson would then start a feud with Barett over the IC title. The group was finally dissolved after Barett walked out on Gabriel and Slater in a six-man tag match.

The Corre, in spite of winning gold, was never really a cohesive unit. The stable did nothing to propel the careers of its members. Their success can be gauged by the fact that Heath Slater is the only member of the group, still working for the WWE, while the other members of the group have left the company.
