10 Short-Lived Wrestling Stables You've Already Forgotten

7. SuperBad Death Squad

Formally wrapped up due to Jimmy Havoc's 2020 release, the SuperBad Death Squad should have gone that way much sooner anyway - fewer acts in AEW ever felt as insignificant.

Dark regulars as flailing singles stars, Havoc and Kip Sabian (and along with his real life and onscreen partner Penelope Ford) came together to cause not that much bother at all in undercard tag team matches in the early days of the pandemic.

In a company with "Elite" in the title, these two were anything but, and never was this clearer than when they somehow backdoored into a tag team title match against Kenny Omega and Hangman Page in June. Outmatched and outclassed, the match felt like a depressingly inessential defence for the fascinating Champions.

The loss was as good as their last act - Sabian was paired with newcomer Miro not long after Havoc went on his hiatus, and the group were never mentioned again after the the break was made permanent.
