These factions were a hit and separating them didn't go very well

Every now and then, WWE introduces a new faction to the roster. Sometimes these groups grasp the WWE Universe's interest while other times they just disappear all of a sudden. In a time when a heroic man or woman takes the centre stage, it is difficult for a group to claim the spotlight.

With all that said, factions are an interesting part of WWE's heritage. Great superstars have collaborated to make a stable. These teams, as we shall call them, have had the opportunity to enthral the WWE Universe.

Talking about stables and factions, what really makes a group great is their chemistry. Their chemistry among themselves and their chemistry with the WWE Universe. With all that said, there is one more thing pretty common amongst factions and that is breakups. Teammates turning against each other is a common notion in the WWE and the fans aren't falling sick of this kind of storyline any time soon.

Here we list down 4 popular factions that shouldn't have disbanded/separated:


#4 The Spirit Squad

Kenny, Mikey, Johnny, Mitch and Nicky, 5 men who were together known as the spirit squad. The stable debuted on Raw in 2006 and looked like the real deal courtesy of the physical specimen of the entire cast. The squad was heavily involved in Vince McMahon's feud with DX and thus began The Spirit Squad's journey in the WWE. The 5 men combined well and were often booked in handicap matches against the like of D-Generation X.

Looking at their progress, good things were expected of the group but their sudden separation wasn't really a piece of good news. While the 5 of them together had good backing from the WWE Universe, the same didn't happen once they separated.

Kenny, the physically imposing one went on to feud with the 16-time world champion, Ric Flair but didn't really earn the support of the fans. With all that being said, all members have now parted their ways with the company but one. One man who was back then known as Nicky and who now wrestles under the name of Dolph Ziggler remains the only man from the stable still associated with the company. Though Dolph has had a successful singles career, things didn't turn out to be great for his other team members.

#3 The Hart Dynasty

Hart wrestling family is a well-known family amongst the wrestling circuit. Some legendary names have come from the family and great things were expected of The Hart Dynasty as well. The stable consisted of Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith and Natalya. The 3 first featured together in 2007 on an edition of Raw and gained much appreciation from the WWE Universe courtesy of their family name.

Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith became Unified tag team champions in 2010 and were on a roll with Natalya as their manager. The group infamously broke up after losing the tag team titles at Night of Champions 2010. Hart and Kidd fell out and thus marked the end of Hart Dynasty in the WWE. It is fair to say that the reception and the acknowledgement they received as a group wasn't replicated by their singles career. While Natalya is still an active part of the roster, the two men are nowhere to be seen in the company.

#2 The Wyatt Family

One of the most fearsome stables that have ever stepped foot inside a WWE ring! The dark stable received major backing from the WWE Universe courtesy of their dominant attacks on some of the top WWE Superstars. The stable feuded with some of the top stars like Kane, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, John Cena and Lesnar. Originally comprised of three men - Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper & Eric Rowan, soon they were joined by the monster among men Braun Strowman in 2015.

The group broke up and reformed on numerous occasions but once they've parted ways completely, things haven't been really great for the team members. Bray Wyatt, the leader of the pack became the WWE Champion while being part of the Wyatt family but his singles run ever since then hasn't garnered much of appreciation.

Luke Harper and Eric Rowan teamed up as The Bludgeon Brothers and even won the Smackdown Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 34 but it is fair to say the success they enjoyed as part of the Wyatt family was way more. Only Braun Strowman has had a great singles run but since the monster among men wasn't really a part of the group originally, he isn't given much emphasis in this scenario.

#1 The Nexus

One of the greatest heel stables of all time, The Nexus created quite a buzz in 2010. The group of 7 NXT rookies who together combined to form one of the most dominant groups of all time. The group was known for executing mass beatdowns and no matter who came in their path, they treated everyone equally and that is by beating them down. The group of rookies famously took down Raw in 2010 and even brawled with the entire Raw locker room on more than one occasion.

The group famously feuded with John Cena and the leader of creation was the recipient of many Nexus attacks. John assembled a team of his own to take on The Nexus at SummerSlam in 2010 and famously defeated the group. The group received appreciation worldwide for taking the WWE by storm and it is to be noted that it took a team comprised of modern-day greats like John Cena, Edge, Chris Jericho and more to take down this group of young NXT rookies.

The original Nexus combined of 7 men - Wade Barret, their leader who was joined by talented superstars like David Otunga, Justin Gabriel, Darren Young, Heath Slater, Michael Tarver and Skip Sheffield. Over the years many men came in and out of the group but the initial days of this faction are the ones still being talked about. It is no secret that the stable which was so dominant together didn't fare greatly as individuals. Some enjoyed mid-card success but no one really gained the support of the WWE Universe as the main event sensation.
