WWE has some of the best factions in the industry. However, some disbanded in 2024 while others are on the verge of breaking up.

The Judgment Day has had a phenomenal year, but it looks like the group’s run is inching towards its end. Meanwhile, Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline could also disband if he loses the Tribal Combat. The Street Profits could also break up after a disappointing 2024.

Triple H could aim to build some new factions in 2025 to fill the void. Top names such as CM Punk, Damian Priest, and Rey Mysterio could lead such factions.

Check out the five new WWE factions that can be formed in 2025 below:

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE


#5. Oba Femi could form a faction after winning the NXT Championship

Oba Femi is one of the top names in NXT who is nearly ready to move to the main roster. However, Shawn Michaels could put the NXT Title on him after Trick Williams to build the belt's legacy.

WWE fans could see Femi become the champion as early as NXT New Year’s Evil. As the ruler of the brand, he could build a faction around him.

Nikkita Lyons had a good story going with Oba Femi before it was dropped. She could join him if he wins the title. Meanwhile, stars like Malik Blade and Edris Enofe could also join the star to gain more prominence and get a push.

NXT hasn’t seen a top champion surrounded by a faction for some time. It would be great to see Oba Femi bring that back.


#4. Damian Priest and The War Raiders could become The War Archers

Damian Priest suffered a heartbreaking setback in 2024 when he was betrayed by Judgment Day. The Archer has worked with Rhea Ripley for some time before going his own way.

Recently fans have seen him begin a new alliance with The War Raiders. He helped Erik and Ivar defeat Finn Balor and JD McDonagh to win the World Tag Team Championship a couple of weeks ago on RAW.

The recent edition of Monday Night RAW saw The War Raiders return the favor when they helped Damian Priest avoid a beatdown from The Judgment Day. The three stars could join hands to create a new faction in 2025.

The babyface alliance could prove to be crucial in disbanding The Judgment Day. Priest, Erik, and Ivar will be a heavyweight group to look out for.


#3. CM Punk could bring his "daughters" to the main roster

CM Punk had been seen as a 'cancer' in WWE during his previous stint. However, narratives have changed about him since he made his return last year.

Punk has helped push many stars in WWE and has also mentored some big names in NXT. Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez are two of the stars who are seen as his work daughters.

WWE fans could see Jade and Perez move to the main roster in 2025. They could join hands with CM Punk on RAW and create a new faction.

It would be great to see the two young NXT stars get a push on the main roster by working with The Best in the World. The move will boost their wrestling careers.


#2. Rey Mysterio and Penta could join hands in WWE

Rumors suggest Penta El Zero M is heading to WWE. The former AEW star's arrival seems to have been teased on recent RAW shows ahead of the brand’s Netflix debut.

Penta coming to WWE could lead to many top storylines. The first could see him team with the biggest Luchador in the business, Rey Mysterio. The Stamford-based company could pair the two superstars to help Penta get recognition almost immediately.

Dragon Lee could join the duo to form one of the best Lucha factions in the industry. Having such a stable will elevate the high-flying scene of the main roster, especially with Ricochet’s exit.

Fans could ultimately watch Penta retire Mysterio at WrestleMania 41 or 42 after a bitter rivalry to carry the torch forward.


#1. CM Punk and Paul Heyman could build a new faction on RAW on Netflix

Paul Heyman owes CM Punk a favor, and fans could see him return to The Best in the World’s side soon.

Many WWE fans want to see Punk and Heyman work together again, and Triple H could give them just that. Roman Reigns could lose the Tribal Combat on RAW’s Netflix premiere, and also lose The Wiseman in the process.

Alternately, Paul Heyman could betray his Tribal Chief to side with CM Punk and begin the two star’s rivalry heading into WrestleMania 41. Either way, it would be a treat to watch Heyman and Punk work together again.

WWE fans could later see rising stars like Bron Breakker join Punk and Heyman to get an even better push on RAW. Together, they could go after Gunther and his World Heavyweight Title.
