3 WWE factions that broke up way too soon & 3 that went on for too long

#2. Went on for too long in WWE: The Cabinet

JBL's WWE Championship reign was protected by The Cabinet

Given how impactful The Cabinet was in protecting JBL's WWE title reign in 2004 and 2005, it's surprising how easy it is to forget that they existed. JBL got the biggest push of his WWE career in 2004 when he completely abandoned his APA character in favor of a new gimmick.

The rich and obnoxious Texan gimmick made him the biggest heel in the company and he would go on to dethrone Eddie Guerrero that year. With a lack of options, JBL benefited and had a lengthy reign as WWE Champion.

In that time, he formed The Cabinet comprising of the following members in their roles:

• President - JBL
• Chief of Staff - Orlando Jordan
• Image Consultant - Amy Weber
• Co-secretaries of Defense - The Basham Brothers
• Publicist - Jillian Hall

The faction enjoyed a good level of success. Orlando Jordan dethroned John Cena to win the United States title in 2005 while The Basham Brothers also enjoyed a run as the Tag Team Champions on SmackDown while being a part of the faction.

However, they had a run-in WWE that lasted well over a year, with members fluctuating in and out of the faction. With that said, they probably lasted longer than needed. JBL's WWE title loss to John Cena in 2005 should have been the end of the road for them.
