5 forgettable WWE factions

Factions have always been an important part of WWE storylines. Amongst other advantages, a faction is a credible way to promote a younger star by aligning them with some of the more established members of the roster. The relationship between the members of a faction always allows the possibility of intriguing storylines.

WWE has seen some memorable factions throughout its history. D-Generation X was an integral part of much of the Attitude Era. Evolution led Batista to become a major WWE superstar and provided a late-career triumph for Ric Flair. The New Day has completely rejuvenated the careers of Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods. The Shield created main eventers out of all three of its members.

However, not all factions created by WWE were as successful as DX. For every great unit, the company has created several mediocre or subpar factions. These stables were not popular amongst the WWE faithful and didn't create headliners out of any of its members.

Here is a list of five totally forgettable WWE factions.

#5 The Social Outcasts (led by former WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion Heath Slater)

Heath Slater has been part of many forgettable tag teams and stables in his WWE career, and The Social Outcasts was a typical Slater stable. Comprising of four lower-card wrestlers with no hope of climbing up the hierarchical ladder, The Social Outcasts didn't receive considerable fan reaction.

The members believed they were misused by WWE and were looked down on by the rest of the locker room. Thus they formed a union to do something about their misuse. However, they kept losing almost all of their matches.

Adam Rose's suspension from WWE over allegations of domestic abuse helped end any hope of a push. The faction disbanded soon after, and no member gained prominent status owing to their time in the faction.

#4 Right To Censor (led by former WWE Hardcore Champion Stevie Richards)

WWE created Right To Censor as a parody of the Parents Teacher Council. The group was led by Stevie Richards, but it was the selection of members that provided some sense of ironic surprise.

The Godfather, who played a pimp throughout the Attitude Era, shed his most successful gimmick and joined the faction as The Goodfather. Similarly surprising was the inclusion of Val Venis, who had until then infamously portrayed an adult movie star.

Right To Censor achieved some success, although not enough to be widely remembered by modern-day fans.

#3 The Cabinet (led by WWE Hall of Famer JBL)

John 'Bradshaw' Layfield's meteoric rise from career mid-carder to villainous WWE champion stunned many, as the company tried hard to solidify the former APA member as a villainous headliner.

JBL needed a set of allies to help him maintain his status as the world champion, which led to him creating The Cabinet. The likes of Orlando Jordan and the Basham Brothers were recruited to join JBL's unit.

The faction lost members and was limited to JBL, Orlando Jordan, and Jillian Hall, and was disbanded without much fanfare.

#2 Titus Worldwide (led and managed by WWE Hall of Famer Titus O'Neil)

Titus O'Neil is a global ambassador for WWE and is widely considered to be one of the most genuine and charitable human beings in the world of professional wrestling. However, as a wrestler, he hasn't achieved much success.

Titus Worldwide was an admittedly intriguing concept of O'Neil trying to recruit members and build a brand. He managed to recruit the likes of Apollo Crews, Akira Tozawa, and Dana Brooke.

Tozawa won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship during his time in the O'Neil-led faction, but it hardly did him any favors, considering he currently spends his time as a ninja chasing the 24/7 belt.

#1 The Oddities (led and managed by The Jackyl)

Don Callis currently spends his time promoting Kenny Omega on AEW, but at one point in his career, he managed one of the most forgettable factions in the history of WWE.

The group was intended to become a freak show consisting of wrestlers. The former Earthquake was part of the faction as the masked Golga. Later, the group added the popular George 'The Animal' Steele to their ranks, but even The Animal failed to make fans care about The Oddities.

They usually feuded with fellow lower-card talents, including The Headbangers and Too Much. None of its main members became major WWE superstars owing to their time in the faction. On the contrary, most were soon released, leading to the end of the group.
