10 Short-Lived Wrestling Stables You've Already Forgotten

1. John Cena, Big E & CM Punk

An anti-Shield task force there to theoretically elevate relative newcomer Big E Langston and neutralise The Authority's heel threat as a nice Christmas present for the audience, the short-lived trio of John Cena, E and CM Punk are survived by a particularly spunky promo on the December 23rd 2013 edition of Monday Night Raw.

Punk noted it was rare he'd show such humility but as a paid and made babyface at the time, he had some fun with the bit. Confirming for Renee Young that his musclebound partners game as early gifts from Santa himself. It was one of the last times in the company he'd look particularly thrilled with anything before his acrimonious departure,

An absolute blast of a main event ended without a finish, but Langston very nearly had Roman Reigns pinned for the predictable shmozz. The long-forgotten trio got the last laugh on the night, toasting the sort of joy the summer of burying Daniel Bryan had persistently taken away.
