10 Awesome WWE Ideas That Didn't Last
5. The League Of Nations
For years, fans had fantasy-booked a faction of European talent, involving men like Sheamus, Wade Barrett, Drew McIntyre, Cesaro and Rusev. In 2015 this became a reality, as the Celtic Warrior joined forces with the King of Bad News and the Bulgarian Brute to form the League of Nations. For reasons best ignored, Mexican Alberto Del Rio was also added to the faction.
What was a great idea on paper became an absolute shambles on camera, as the League bumbled from mishap to mishap in a desperate attempt to make Roman Reigns the sympathetic babyface WWE so desperately wanted him to be. The League were entirely toothless, four top performers sacrificed at the feet of the Roman Empire.
They were beyond salvation, and if anyone benefited from Bray Wyatt’s injury it was the League of Nations. They split as a result, and everyone was better off for it (well, except Barrett, who left the company shortly after). A great idea that was executed horrifically.
