WWE teased a great faction between The Revival and Randy Orton before Orton was drafted to the RAW roster and the wildcard rule lost its charm.

This week on SmackDown, the company teased yet another faction, this time between the villainous King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, and Robert Roode. This is an odd pairing, to say the least, however, both Ziggler and Roode desperately need a direction to follow now as they seem to be out of any story.

King Corbin has proven to be the King of factions and team-ups in recent times and has aligned with men such as Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, Shinsuke Nakamura, and many others this year.

If the company is planning to plan a long term program between these three men, it could prove to be the right call as they seem to be three of the biggest heels on SmackDown who could do well to stack up the odds against the babyfaces. It looks like their first assignment is to make Reigns look like a babyface yet again so that his victories feel bigger night after night.

Just like The Undisputed Era is leading NXT, and The O.C. are working for RAW, we could watch these three men become the resident heel stable on SmackDown.
