Latest Plans For Seth Rollins' New Stable (WWE News)
The current plans for Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman.
With the Raw after WrestleMania 41 seeing Bron Breakker join forces with Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman, many are speculating what lies in the future of this latest WWE alliance.
Already, fans are likening this trio to the beginnings of a new iteration of the Dangerous Alliance or a modern-day Evolution, with the expectation that more names will be added to Rollins, Breakker, and Heyman in the coming weeks. Right now, though, that is seemingly not the plan.
As per Fightful Select, as of WrestleMania Weekend, the working plan is for this trio to be, well, a trio for the time being. While those plans could always change, it appears that there'll be no new additions in the immediate future.
From a WWE source that Fightful spoke to, they noted how this Heyman, Breakker, and Heyman group should be one that other stables are compared to in years to come, rather than being a case of comparing this faction to those groups of yesteryear, ala those early Dangerous Alliance or Evolution comparisons.
It seems implausible that more wrestlers won't be added to this burgeoning stable at some point down the line, but for now, at least, it looks like we'll continue to see the group operating as a three.
Those Dangerous Alliance Comparisons
For those of a certain vintage, the Dangerous Alliance is a name that immediately puts a nostalgic smile on the face.
Initially, the Dangerous Alliance was introduced by Paul E. Dangerously in the AWA back in 1987, with Dangerously - better known these days as Paul Heyman, of course - leading Adrian Adonis and the Midnight Express duo of Dennis Condry and Randy Rose. While that group achieved championship success in the shape of the AWA Tag Team Titles, the more famous iteration of the Dangerous Alliance came in 1991, when Dangerously formed a new version of the faction in WCW.
From a storyline perspective, Paul E. had been fired from the WCW commentary team, and so used his manager's license to bring together the phenomenal line-up of 'Ravishing' Rick Rude, 'Stunning' Steve Austin, Arn Anderson, Larry Zbyszko, 'Beautiful' Bobby Eaton, and Madusa. Despite having such a stellar selection of names, that Dangerous Alliance run would last less than a year, though still lives long in the memory, particularly due to the rivalries with Sting and a slew of top babyfaces that led to arguably the greatest WarGames match in history, pitting the Dangerous Alliance against Sting's Squadron at WrestleWar 1992.
We'd later get to see versions of the Dangerous Alliance in the early days of ECW - Taz, Sabu, Shane Douglas, Sherri Martel, and Don Muraco some of the more notable names to be under Paul E.'s charge during those years - but it's still the WCW version that fans most fondly remember due to the sheer star power and in-ring ability of those involved.
Of course, with Paul Heyman now fronting another group of talent, that's led to fan speculation that the old Dangerous Alliance name will be brought back for one more run. As it stands, though, the Heyman, Seth Rollins, and Bron Breakker dynamic has yet to be given a formal name, and it appears that this unit will be remaining a three-man outfit for the foreseeable.
