#3. Cosmic Wasteland formed in WWE in 2015
The Cosmic Wasteland was formed in WWE when Cody Rhodes, who played Stardust, aligned with Konnor and Victor of The Ascension, who became Stardust's henchmen during this run.
The faction never really made an impact on the WWE roster, even though it had potential. The group disbanded when Cody Rhodes decided to walk away from the company in May 2016.
The members of Ascension, now known as Big Kon and Vik, discussed Cosmic Wasteland's ending with WrestleZone:
"I don’t even know if we have the answers to that one, in that situation. I know we got left feeling kinda confused at the end of it, so I don’t know. If that was, I think that was at the time, too, that kind of, if I’m not mistaken, pushed Cody to leave and do what he’s doing now," Vik said. (h/t WrestleZone)
Big Kon added his response to Vik's previous statement:
"There was a lot of money left on the table, for sure, with that one. There was money left on the table," Big Kon said. (h/t WrestleZone)
Some of the promo's that Cosmic Wasteland delivered were truly magical. It's a shame it didn't have more support behind it. There were even calls from Cody to add more members to fulfill its potential. Ultimately, it was just another stable that bit the dust.
