Its strange to list the formation of what is nothing more than a mid-card stable masquerading as top-tier group of villains as a positive, and this very easily could have been negative. But consider that the members of the League of Nations were doing very little before they got together. Sheamus had just won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after months of doing very little, and Alberto Del Rio hadnt done much in the month since winning the United States Championship. Even though the group itself has been lackluster and a disappointment in many ways, it also has given the four members something to do. Witness last week when the League interfered in Del Rios title match against John Cena, saving his championship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Yruo6XFnwk It appears as if the group merely exists right now to serve as a foil for Roman Reigns, but even that is a purpose better than four directionless mid-carders. And if the League hangs around and maybe competes for the Tag Team Championships and mid-card titles, then its an improvement over what we got from the four members previously.
