#4 The Welcoming Committee
Some WWE factions only form for a solitary common goal and once that goal is fulfilled, they disband and go their separate ways. The Welcoming Committee is a prime example of that kind of faction. The catalyst to their formation was the high-profile arrival of Charlotte Flair to SmackDown.
WWE's Queen moved to SmackDown shortly after WrestleMania 33 and instantly challenged Naomi for the SmackDown Women's Championship. This drew the ire of Natalya, Tamina, and Carmella, who felt that Charlotte was being handed a title shot. They ended up interfering in the title match.
Natalya, Tamina, and Carmella, along with James Ellsworth, formed the Welcoming Committee, intending to show Charlotte her place on the Blue brand. Becky Lynch pretended to join the Welcoming Committee but ended up fighting them before the trio left her laying.
At Backlash 2017, Natalya, Tamina, and Carmella defeated Becky, Naomi, and Charlotte, effectively completing the purpose of the group. The trio eventually disbanded as WWE started building to the first-ever Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
The Welcoming Committee briefly reunited at the end of 2017, with Lana being added to the mix, to take on the Riott Squad as they made their WWE main roster debut.
