10 Fantasy WWE Stables That Would Have Been Amazing
7. Triple H's NXT B*stards
Seth Rollins was an absolutely f*cking fantastic babyface in early-2017, and it's said with some frustration that so little of the genuine sympathy and support was there by the time he was ready to dethrone Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35.
He turned babyface by turning babyface - rather than trying too hard to be the coolest guy in the room, he instead apologised for his prior sins, and channeled a different type of rage against Triple H. 'The Game' was the man that had lured him to the dark side in the first instance back in 2014, before changing tact and screwing him out of the Universal Championship two years later.
It was at this point in the Seth Rollins tale of atonement that Samoa Joe rocked up to kick the f*ck out of 'The Architect' on behalf of the man now styling himself as NXT's (and, by proxy, Seth's) "creator". Ahead of their WrestleMania 33 outing, Hunter joined Joe and fellow beneficiary Kevin Owens on heel tag matches against Rollins and a rotation of partners.
With so many call-ups back then still yet to have the hope squashed out of them, it would have been intriguing to see who could have joined an army led by an egotistical Hunter looking to use his forces to beat respect into those graduates he'd felt hadn't been so grateful for his supposed service.
