WWE
While The Bloodline and Judgment Day may be dominant, they are far from the only factions currently running in WWE.
With Raw, SmackDown and NXT all running on a weekly basis, it’s sometimes difficult to keep track of who is in which faction and where fans can see them.
Here’s a current list of the factions that fans can currently see on WWE SmackDown:
Allies of Convenience
Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss have now been joined by Tatum Paxley, with their wildly differing personalities becoming Allies of Convenience on WWE SmackDown.
The trio would take on Jade Cargill, B-Fab & Michin at Sunday Night’s Main Event, with the Allies of Convenience being on the losing end of that encounter.
Jade Cargill, B-Fab & Michin
Possibly named ‘The Takeover‘, but also referred to as ‘The Tormentors’, Jade Cargill, B-Fab & Michin have made their mark as a faction on WWE SmackDown.
Cargill remains locked into some high-profile feuds, with Michin and B-Fab being on hand to deliver beatdowns as required, and all three stars showing that they mean business in their own right.
Fatal Influence
Bringing the faction from NXT to the main roster, Fatal Influence has already made their mark on SmackDown, with Jacy Jayne as the current WWE Women’s United States Champion and the pairing of Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid as Women’s Tag Team Champions.
Exceedingly confident in their abilities and position, Fatal Influence could go on to be top stars on the main roster.
Los Perros del Mal
Angel and Berto are both SmackDown stars and members of Los Perros del Mal, alongside NXT’s Karmen Petrovic, AAA’s Daga and the manager Damián 666.
The June 23 episode of SmackDown saw Los Garza come up short against Danhausen and Matt Cardona, with their most recent outing being a team-up with Daga as Los Perros del Mal took on Dragon Lee, Penta & Rey Fenix over at AAA Ola de Calor.
What About The MFTs?
At one point, The MFTs were indeed a faction, with Talla Tonga, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa all members. May 2 of this year saw Tonga Loa depart WWE, leaving just two members of The MFTs.
Now a tag team, the pair have been joined by the legendary Haku, serving as the manager of The MFTs, with Tonga and Talla being the current WWE Tag Team Champions.
One Thing SmackDown Is Missing
There’s a number of factions over on WWE, with two of them being standouts in the form of The Bloodline and The Vision.
By contract, SmackDown doesn’t have a faction that has the same prominence as Raw, although that’s something that could very well come in future creative.
It’s difficult to pick the faction from the current crop that could be SmackDown’s version of The Bloodline or The Vision, not because there are so many contenders, but because there’s nothing quite like what Raw when it comes to a collective.
