Why WWE's New Faction Is Already Doomed To Fail

WWE is booked week-to-week by a madman who thinks everybody else is the problem, but sure, Ricochet is going to make his heart grow three times in size through the power of a 630 senton five months after Brock Lesnar pounded his d*ck into the Saudi Arabian dirt in just over a minute.

This is also the Nexus, and look what happened to them. Whenever the order of WWE is challenged in storyline canon, WWE always wins.

Maybe it's the Undisputed Era. Maybe it's Adam Cole leading the revolt under a calendar year after he was basically anointed the next Ace of the company over Survivor Series weekend. The name JUSTUS has found itself on Twitter. Dominick Dijakovic has teased some b*llocks or other. What's his motivation? "They keep changing my name and I'm bored as f*ck of wrestling Keith Lee?"

The insane thing? Virtually every WWE talent has a motive to join this group, this group has a pivotal mission statement, and they'd f*ck every last theoretical variation of it up.

WWE's new faction is doomed to fail because everything in WWE is.

WWE is WCW 2000, and this new group is the New Blood.
