#1 Saves Slater's career
Heath Slater has been with the WWE since 2006, and despite being a bona fide jobber, he has seen plenty of success in the company. A former FCW Southern Heavyweight Champion, FCW Heavyweight Champion, and Florida Tag Team Champion, Slater rose through WWE's developmental ranks.
Slater became a rookie on the NXT TV show (before NXT became its own brand), and was the first NXT rookie to beat a WWE superstar when he defeated Carlito. Slater even defeated Chris Jericho on an episode of NXT. Slater became a member of Nexus, won the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside Justin Gabriel, and remains the last original member of the group of rookies that still wrestles for WWE.

Slater has been used as comedic relief for most of his career, and one could argue that he hasn't been taken seriously since his days in the Nexus. Slater has remained beloved by fans despite all the humiliating angles he has been involved in. His recent gimmick of fighting Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar in attempts to be signed to Raw or SmackDown after not being drafted in the brand-split got over huge with the fans.
Slater was destroyed by the two legends as everyone knew he would be but justified his actions by saying "I got kids, I need this job", a line that made fans cheer him harder than ever before. Heath Slater, if nothing else, is a survivor, and will find a way to become relevant again, but a 3MB reunion is the best way to keep WWE from giving up on the now 34-year-old veteran.
