6 New WWE NXT Factions

WWE

NXT has had several different factions that have dominated over the past year, and throughout its history as WWE’s third brand.

Whether it be Fatal Influence, DarkState, Birthright or The Vanity Project, the NXT brand has put a big spotlight on these units centered on these groups.

Fans might be seeing some unique stables being created over the upcoming weeks and months.

Here are six new potential WWE NXT factions.

6. Dungeon Fight Club Led By Nattie

Over the past couple of months, Nattie has made her way from the WWE main roster to NXT in a feud with Jaida Parker.

During the course of this rivalry, Nattie has been recruiting several stars from the NXT brand to bring under her wing as protegès.

Nikkita Lyons, Karmen Petrovic and Layla Diggs have become the first names to join forces with Nattie and show their support to “The Lowkey Legend.”

Nattie forming an alliance with Lyons, Petrovic and Diggs should lead to a formal faction being born where the three NXT stars can get a spotlight in the women’s division moving forward.

5. Izzi Dame & Niko Vance Start A New Stable

On the June 23 edition of WWE NXT, Dorian Van Dux and Sean Legacy defeated The Culling.

Post match, Niko Vance and Izzi Dame turned on Shawn Spears after weeks of teasing their betrayal.

Now that they have gotten rid of their leader, this should mean the end of The Culling, but Dame and Vance can start something new to continue to work together.

Vance could recruit a new tag team partner, while Dame could find some allies in the women’s scene to help create a new faction that is different from The Culling.

4. European Group Led By Mason Rook

In April, Mason Rook shook the foundation of WWE NXT with his surprising debut by attacking NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo.

Rook made his name across the European independent scene with his combination of size, agility and power.

While Rook has gotten a lot of attention, there have been other new European talents from the indies that have come into WWE NXT, such as Lizzy Rain, Tristan Angels and Dorian Van Dux.

Since he has been positioned near the top of the card since his arrival on WWE NXT, Rook could lead his own faction with these UK and European stars as a major focus moving forward.

3. Saquon Shugars Starts His Own Faction With WWE ID Talent Against DarkState

For the first time since his WWE debut, Saquon Shugars has been on his own after DarkState turned on him.

Since then, Shugars has been hellbent on revenge on Dion Lennox, Cutler James and Osiris Griffin.

While he was able to attack Griffin and James, Saquon was laid out with a three-on-one beatdown by DarkState despite picking up a win over Lennox at WWE NXT Great American Bash 2026.

After DarkState said that he was always the odd one out because he is an “indie wrestler” and they are Division 1 athletes, Shugars could recruit some of the WWE ID talent into his own faction to take down his former stablemates.

2. New D’Angelo Family

Tony D’Angelo has reached the top of WWE NXT as the reigning NXT Champion and first ever Grand Slam Champion in the brand’s history.

During the course of his five year run on the brand, D’Angelo has had some people help him along the way, including The D’Angelo Family.

As “The Don of NXT,” D’Angelo created a family around him with the likes of Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, Adriana Rizzo and Luca Crusifino. However, this version of The D’Angelo Family fell apart from within and made Tony have to rebuild himself.

Now that he is the current NXT Champion, Tony D might have to create a new family to make sure he stays on top for as long as possible.

1. New House Of Torture Led By NARAKU

On the April 28 edition of WWE NXT, former IWGP Heavyweight Champion EVIL made his debut in the company as NARAKU.

The former NJPW star has quickly become one of the most prominent stars on the NXT roster and a contender for the top prize on the brand.

After failing to win the NXT Championship from Tony D’Angelo at The Great American Bash 2026, NARAKU might realize that he needs to go back to his old tricks and surround himself with a posse that will help him win the gold.

From Shinsuke Nakamura coming to the brand to give this faction some veteran experience to Hiromu Takahashi signing to reunite with the former EVIL, this new House of Torture with NARAKU could dominate NXT in the very near future.
