#3. Went on for too long in WWE: 3MB

In the grand scheme of things, 3MB's run in WWE wasn't that long. However, considering they had two future WWE Champions, they were kept together for way too long.

The faction started in September 2012 and lasted until both Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre were released from WWE. For both these superstars, getting released by the promotion would be the best thing that could happen to them.

Drew McIntyre had already spent five years in WWE by that point, and he went from The Chosen One to a low-card superstar who lost virtually every match. It was a shocking slip down the card, but the redemption story in hindsight makes it all the better.

With Jinder Mahal, he was a few years away from developing a stronger personality as well. It was clear that 3MB was put together by the company with no intention or long-term plan in mind.

The faction shouldn't have existed in the first place, especially given the talent that all men had. Heath Slater still had an enjoyable WWE career where he was a mid or low-card comedy star. Perhaps the company chose the wrong stablemates for him.
