5 WWE stables you may have forgotten from the past decade

#1. 3MB formed in WWE in 2012

It was another situation in WWE where the company didn't really have any creative plans for certain superstars. As luck would have it, Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater were paired and the rest is history.

Initially dubbed "The Band," the group became known as 3MB, and were portrayed as rockstars who were all about having fun. Although their television time was limited, they made the most of their time on social media. There was even one instance where their videos almost became more exciting than what was happening on-screen. The trio gave it everything they had.

Heath Slater discussed the origins of the group after his run as the One Man Band, with Such Good Shoot:

"I was like, ‘Come on. I need a band now. I’ve been a one man band. Let me have a band.’ They’re just like, ‘Oh, who are you thinking?’ I pitch [Dean] Ambrose, Fandango, and EC3. And this is before any of them are on TV. Fandango and EC3 were on NXT season three or something. So I pitch for those three. And then they were like, ‘Okay, let me get back with you.’ And this is Michael Hayes the whole time I’m talking with. The month goes by — nothing. You know, like, ‘Hey, baby, what the hell, man? I need this band!" Heath Slater said. (h/t Wrestling Inc.)

After a short stint as "The Union Jacks," 3MB was ripped apart when Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal were released in June 2014. In reality, it probably did all three men a favor, as Drew and Jinder eventually returned to WWE better than ever. For Heath, he continued his run with WWE in a variety of storylines before departing in 2020.
