The Shield, Four Horsemen, New Day, etc. are some examples of classic factions in WWE, having left their marks on the wrestling industry.

New Japan Pro Wrestling is filled with factions and almost every Superstar on their roster is a part of some stable or another.

WWE could take a page out of NJPW's note book and should try to form factions on its main roster. The Attitude Era had several factions such as Hart Foundation, The D-Generation X, Right to Censor, Dudley Boyz, The Nation of Domination, etc.

A return to the format which was widely used in the previous era could help WWE entice the viewers and bring back the viewership which WWE has lost in recent times.

WWE must take note from Shield and New Day, and realize the importance of factions in wrestling. With its ever growing roster, forming groups of wrestlers will be the perfect way to utilize their talents.

Triple H has created several factions in NXT which have been successful. However, that has not translated to the main roster.

We look at five possible factions that could take shape in WWE today.


#5 The New Authority

The Authority were a major heel faction during 2014-15. The group had several wrestlers such as Big Show, Kane, Seth Rollins, Triple H and Randy Orton. .

Shane McMahon is slowly starting to form a new Authority of his own, with the likes of Drew McIntyre, Elias and The Revival joining forces with the self-proclaimed Best In The World.

Shane McMahon's segments are being heavily criticized by the WWE Universe, and forming a stable will take some attention away from the "Best in the World".

A team-up with Shane will definitely help McIntyre, Elias and The Revival to stay relevant and find themselves in the main-event scene.

#4 The Destroyers

Samoa Joe and AOP: Pure Destruction

The Authors of Pain had an explosive start on the main roster, only to fade away slowly.

A great way to revitalize the Authors of Pain would be to team them up with another monster in his own right, Samoa Joe. The Resident Destroyer of WWE, Samoa Joe could be the proper foil for the Authors of Pain.

After Paul Ellering left the role of AOP's mouthpiece, they struggled to get over with the WWE Universe. AOP joining forces with the Samoan Submission Machine will help them to properly introduce themselves to the WWE Universe.

AOP and Joe have joined forces before during their time in NXT, and the group had the killer instinct.

Hopefully, AOP are given a mouthpiece sooner rather than later, or else they could go down the path Ascension did.

#3 The Club

AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, all these four Superstars debuted on the main roster in 2016.

The four superstars are former members of the Bullet Club, and rose to prominence during their stay in NJPW as part of the club.

Gallows and Anderson have had brief reunions with Styles and Balor in the past. The Club never really got going and was broken up on both occasions in favor of singles push for Balor and Styles.

Currently, the Good Brothers are on RAW along with AJ Styles, and it will be a perfect time for them to reunite and run havoc on Monday Night RAW.

A heel turn for Styles followed by a rivalry with Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship will surely make things interesting on Monday Night RAW!

Styles' stay in the singles division has turned a bit stale ever since he lost his WWE Championship, and a team-up with the Good Brothers will certainly give rise to interesting possibilities for the Phenomenal One.

#2 The Planet's Champions

A new leader for the Wyatt Family?

Eric Rowan returned during the WWE Championship match between Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles at Royal Rumble earlier this year. The decision to align Rowan with Daniel Bryan was a masterstroke and their partnership certainly paid dividends.

Rowan's former tag-team partner, Luke Harper is ready to return to in-ring competition but hasn't been featured on WWE TV ever since the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at Wrestlemania.

WWE could bring back Harper and team him up with Bryan and Rowan, forming a dangerous stable and utilize Harper's talents in the best way possible.

Luke Harper is one of the most talented "big men" in WWE today, and WWE have never been able to capitalize on his talents.

Bryan, Rowan and Harper running Smackdown Live will be a delight to watch and could lead to some interesting matchups in future.

#1 The Bloodline

Roman Reigns and the Usos will be a spectacular stable

The name of this faction is not the only cool thing about it. WWE teased a faction between Roman Reigns and the Usos earlier this week, and the three Samoan Superstars could easily tear down the house with their performances.

Roman Reigns' best work has always been in a faction, where he doesn't have to do much of the talking. A team-up with Jimmy and Jey will be beneficial to the former Universal Champion.

Roman Reigns is projected as the top guy in WWE and hence putting him in a faction may not be the best way to project the top star of the company.

However, Reigns has failed to get positive reactions as a singles superstar again and again, and hence placing him with the Usos will be a smart move.
