5 WWE Superstars who were instantly removed from new factions

#1 Ahmed Johnson left The Nation of Domination (WWE, 1997)

Ahmed Johnson joined forces with his WWE rivals

The following 12 WWE Superstars were members of The Nation of Domination at one stage: Faarooq, Clarence Mason, J.C. Ice, Wolfie D, Crush, D'Lo Brown, Savio Vega, Kama Mustafa, Ahmed Johnson, Rocky Maivia, Mark Henry, and Owen Hart.

While many of those WWE Superstars remained in The Nation of Domination for over a year, including D’Lo Brown and original member Farooq, Ahmed Johnson’s association with the group only lasted for two months.

Shortly after he betrayed The Undertaker and turned heel to join The Nation of Domination, Johnson suffered a legitimate injury which forced him to miss seven weeks of in-ring action.

By the time Johnson returned, Vader had replaced him in the WWE Championship picture and his spot in The Nation of Domination had gone to Rocky Maivia (aka The Rock).

The Nation attacked the returning Johnson, who quickly reverted back to being a babyface, and he ended up joining forces with The Legion of Doom to battle Farooq & co. once again.
