5 shortest-lived factions in WWE history

#3. WWE couldn't create the hype with Dogs of War

The Dogs of War

In order to rival The Shield, WWE formed a faction consisting of Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, and Dolph Ziggler. All three superstars were considered to be popular in their own right at the time and had done some solid work as heels.

However, putting them together ended up resulting in one of the least memorable factions of all time in recent WWE history. McIntyre, Strowman, and Ziggler are regarded as three of the best in the business when competing as singles stars, but they just didn't click together.

As opposed to The Shield's nickname of "Hounds of Justice", the trio started calling themselves The Dogs of War. For around a month and a half, The Dogs of War feuded with Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose before going their separate paths.

In the group's final ever match, Strowman turned his back on Ziggler after the latter took another pinfall that led to the loss for The Dogs of War. The group eventually came to an end after McIntyre also hit Strowman with the Claymore Kick.
