WWE
A new faction named the Mog Squad has officially debuted on tonight’s WWE Evolve show after a recent trademark filing.
Last month, it was noted that WWE had filed to trademark the name ‘The Mog Squad’, which was seemingly the name of a potential new tag team or faction in the promotion, with fans speculating who the group may consist of.
Many fans speculated the name could have been used for the group featuring Blake Monroe and the Vanity Project on NXT television prior to Blake’s main roster call up, but with that alliance now over, the name will obviously be used elsewhere.
The Mog Squad Officially Arrives On WWE Evolve
On tonight’s WWE Evolve show, we got our answer as to who the Mog Squad are, with the group being a four man stable on WWE Evolve led by Max Abrams.
The group consists of Abrams, Jacari Ball, CJ Valor, and Santi Rivera, and was introduced on the show prior to CJ Valor’s victory over It’s Gal.
Who Are The Members Of The Mog Squad In WWE?
While the names featured in the Mog Squad are all recently debuting stars in the company, each member of the group comes with their own wrestling history.
Max Abrams is the new WWE ring name of Mike Cunningham, who is signed to the WWE ID program after being trained at Cody Rhodes’ Nightmare Factory, making his debut in 2024, competing in various independent promotions such as Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling and 1PW.
Jacari Ball is the new ring name of Jha’Quan McNair, another WWE ID talent who was trained by Team Fearless Training Academy, only making his in-ring debut in 2025.
CJ Valor is the WWE ring name of Jimmy House, who started his in-ring career back in 2023 and is a two-time and current RWA Champion.
Finally, Santi Rivera is the new ring name of Jariel Rivera, a WWE ID talent who was trained at New England Pro Wrestling Academy and begun his in-ring career back in 2021.
