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

#1. Went on for too long in WWE: The Authority

The Authority lasted way longer in WWE than required

Remember the era in WWE where every single episode of RAW began with a 20-minute promo by Stephanie McMahon and/or Triple H? It was a forgettable era that many felt was painful to watch.

It all began at SummerSlam 2013 when Triple H turned heel by assaulting Daniel Bryan and allowing Randy Orton to successfully cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase. It was a storyline and faction that grew in size, with Seth Rollins being the most important member.

While Rollins' run between June 2014 and November 2015 was incredible, The Authority was largely unbearable. Despite losing a match and getting disbanded by force at Survivor Series 2014, they reunited a month later with John Cena being the only man who could make the call.

The storyline took a long time to conclude, and it may not even have gone down the way it was originally planned. WrestleMania 32's main event was Triple H vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns won in an underwhelming match to conclude the Authority storyline that lasted nearly three years.

It was a big relief, and the difference on WWE television was instant. Despite the unpopular Roman Reigns being the focal point of television, 2016 went on to become what many consider the greatest year of the PG Era. While a big change in direction was responsible for this, The Authority getting disbanded proved that they were around a lot longer than they should have been.
