5 Forgettable Factions and Alliances in the WWE from the past year

A Stable Reborn
The reunion did not go according to plan

#1 The Welcoming Committee

A disastrous unwelcomed faction
A disastrous unwelcomed faction

In one of the laziest angles of the past year, WWE formed a stable with Natalya, Carmella, Tamina, Lana and Ellsworth to feud with Charlotte who had just arrived on Smackdown after the Superstar shake-up of 2017. The stable was referred to as The Welcoming Committee; one of the worst names for a stable.

The Welcoming Committee started to bully Charlotte only for Naomi and Becky to come to her aid.

Thus, giving rise to the endless six-woman tag matches that would be a constant fixture on Smackdown events throughout 2017.

WWE had done nothing to build up Carmella, Tamina and Lana before forming the Welcoming Committee; so the fans did not care about them.

The faction only served to keep Lynch and Naomi away from the title picture, and also showcased the lack of depth in the Women's roster.

The faction did not do anything of notice, and the feud between the women went nowhere. The never-ending matches became monotonous and the women segments became more of a filler.

Natalya going to RAW during the recent shake-up was a good move for her. She has already been put in a program with Ronda Rousey, so it is already much better than what she did in Smackdown for the past several months.
