#4 WWE Team - The Fogotten Sons

The Forgotten Sons, a team featuring Jaxson Ryker, Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake, made quite the impact on WWE NXT with rivalaries against established teams like the Street Profits and Heavy Machinery from 2018 to 2019.

This led them to debut on the main SmackDown roster on April 10, 2020 as they beat the Lucha House Party in their first match. The trio would also feud with the Smackdown Tag Team Champions at the time, The New Day, even beating them in a non-title match.

Unfortunately for the trio, the team was taken off-air due to some issues and was eventually disbanded.

Jaxson Ryker was also known for his alliance with Elias later as the three men were let go from WWE in 2021. On February 4, Cutler was released, followed by Blake on April 15, and Ryker on November 18.

#3 WWE Team - The Singh Brothers

The Singh Brothers - Samir and Sunil Singh were best known in WWE as the managers and allies of the former WWE champion Jinder Mahal between 2017 to 2019. They helped Mahal retain the WWE Championship by interfering in his bouts against Randy Orton at the time.

The real-life brothers debuted in the promotion in 2016 on the 205 Live and NXT roster as The Bollywood Boyz before their gimmick was changed to the Singh Brothers when they aligned with Jinder.

In October 2019, Samir and Sunil were sent back to 205 Live separating them from Mahal where they reverted back to a gimmick similar to that of the Bollywood Boyz.

On October 21, 2019 Sunil managed to win the 24/7 Championship from R-Truth with help from his brother Samir. He subsequently lost the title 10 days later to R-Truth in a Battle Royal at the Crown Jewel PPV. Later in the evening at the same event, Samir managed to pin R-Truth backstage to win the 24/7 title, only to lose it 18 days later to Truth again.

The brothers would continue to compete as a tag team until they were released from the company on June 25, 2021.
