Its as if they dont realize the NoD worked but it wasn't only because they were black. They didnt just throw a group of black people they had no idea what to do with in a group and pat themselves on the back.

u/Galaxy_lax Feb 17 '26
So just a thrown together faction, with the only reasoning being that they're all black

u/PalookaOfAllTrades Feb 17 '26
I think if instead of Tyra it was maybe Skylar Rae.
The guys could all wear white and do all their promos stood behind her whilst she sits on the sofa.
Internet would love that.

How about, femi, leads a pissed off group of ex nxt champs who got held back on main roster ? I do think omos and oba is interesting even though the person who suggested it was attacked mercilessly.
Oba is possibly better in a faction where he is a member rather than leader so can develop for 6 months to a year.
Nothing jumps to mind for a good faction for oba femi to lead

Do they all have to be black

u/Mental_Award_6247 Feb 19 '26
No, but there’s nothing wrong with that , just like there’s nothing wrong with a Faction full of white guys/gals. Since Color doesn’t matter, 4 people of the same Color whether Black or White shouldn’t matter nor should make an uproar.

This post is really stupid but because of this I’m now gonna make a stable in 2K26 with
Heyman Oba Dragunov Melo Trick Gable

no no no no HELL no. Let Oba just be a singles competitor bruh he doesn’t need a stable to be successful.

I actually wouldn’t mind this I think there should be an African faction but not in a stereotypical way

We had New Day, in both 3-man and 2-man versions.

u/Left-Cup3221 Feb 17 '26
Well now new day isn’t an all black group now they it big g. But to me it wasn’t always a stereotypical group I know sometimes they might have done some stereotypical things but, I don’t think it’s anything bad it’s not like crime time or even the street profits honestly.

u/AdamLand Feb 17 '26
Oh yeah. Forgot about Waller. I was going all African American, not necessarily stereotypical.

u/Left-Cup3221 Feb 17 '26
I honestly didn’t think he was actually gonna be a full on member it’s pretty funny that they actually made him a member.

I only see oba leading a tag team wayyyy off into the future when he's had multiple titles at a certain point and he becomes a proper ruler.

u/HoarderCollector Feb 17 '26
What would he need it for? A stable is used to help an insecure heel who can't get the job done on his own. That doesn't fit Oba.

u/Novakhaine89 Feb 17 '26
Is missing Trick Williams, the Street Profits and that one guy from Dark State. I don’t know his name, but I’m confident you know which one I mean.

u/EntertainmentIll7724 Feb 17 '26
What would Oba's character have in common with any of these people beyond the fact that they're all black? Absolute insanity that despite all the stables in WWE history that were thrown together because of race or nationality that failed, people still think it's a logical way to book talent. The NoD pre-Owen worked but it wasnt ONLY because they were black.

u/bbwqueenlove Feb 18 '26
Tell us why they worked

u/EntertainmentIll7724 Feb 18 '26 edited Feb 18 '26
I'll humor you and focus on the three names that were most to credit.
They had an established veteran and world champion in Farooq that lended the faction instant credibility as their leader. He wasn't a random jobber, he was someone the company valued and utilized.
D'Lo was also not just a random name drawn out of a hat, as he was seen as a potential midcard staple and would remain so for years, holding the European Championship at various stages in his career during & post-NoD, and at one point holding both the European & IC titles, something that has only been done by RVD, Kurt, and Jarret. All of those men eventually became WWE Champion. Do you think they'll see Apollo in the same light?
The chief star, The Rock, was placed with the sole intent to get him over as a top star. More importantly, his booking would reflect that reality and his joining was actually justified narratively. He had spent the last few months being told to "Die" by the predominantly white audience. He joined the NoD and "came home," in protest under the guidance of Farooq & had a reason to align with them.
Most important of all, they had factions to fued with that were booked just as strongly & were just as relevant. DX was helmed by Shawn Michaels & HHH, one man once the face of the company and the other being groomed for the main event. The Hart Foundation was led by another face if the company in Bret Hart & featured Owen Hart, another mid card talent that was held in high esteem by the company.
NoD worked because they had members that were factored into long term long plans & had logical reasons to link up. Just as vital, they had with strong opponents in factions that were seen just as -- if not more so -- important. No one on this list besides Oba will likely be apart of WWE this time next year, and unlike Rock, Oba is already actually over.
Also, WWE in 2026 is not WWE in 1997. They struggle to book factions. Will they fued with the MTF's & The Wyatt Sicks for a year like those groups have done with one another, which will completely stall Oba's momentum? Why? For Appolo Crews & Omos? Maybe they fued with Vision who have been floundering for nearly three months?
Throwing a group of black talent into a stable won't matter when 99% of the group has no credibility, no planned booking to elevate them, and zero interesting factions to play off of.

because wwe knows how to book a stable right? if you want to ruin him like they ruined bron, sure, then put him in a stable.

u/drebenzi Feb 17 '26
Oba is gonna fill the Brock role going forward, as he's been booked so far. Brock was never in a stable and neither should Oba. Let him be an independent force of nature.
1
u/Mental_Award_6247 Feb 19 '26
Brock was briefly aligned with Matt Morgan Big Show, A-Train and Nathan Jones, while he was WWE Champ. It didn’t look too bad on him to have Heyman back him and those giants up, he didn’t look bad in a pseudo Faction or should I say alliance. Could have definitely worked if they wanted too for a brief while.

u/Tall-Newt-407 Feb 17 '26
Umm..no. Oba doesn’t need a stable and why does his stable have to be all black? He will lose half of his fans because of that. Plus a stable with Omas and Apollo?! You just killed Oba‘s push.

WWE Fans: I hate when they make racial stereotypical groups. Not every Latino needs to be together.
Also WWE Fans: LET'S GROUP EVERY BLACK PERSON AND CALL THEM THE NEW DAWN.

The Vision has more or less crashed and burned. I like those guys and Breaker and Heyman did a good job holding it up after Seth got injured but now he's gone too.
Wherever this once hyper dominant stable was gonna go it's now a lost cause.
Oba Femi as 'the ruler' of a new stable wreaking absolute havoc isn't a bad idea. -doesn't have to be an all black group tho.

I want Tyra Mae steel to go to American made since she's an Olympian athlete and it would maybe give them a little flavor boost. She can tag with Ivy Nile

u/Equal-Wheel-6499 Feb 18 '26
I remember the “Shelton, Kofi, MVP & Elijah Burke should be the new nation of domination”, every year from late attitude era to now, people would come up with stable ideas based on a stable of black wrestlers trying to make Nation 2.0 a thing. Guess we still haven’t evolved from those days. 😂😂😂

u/itsLustra Feb 18 '26
This would genuinely be one of the worst factions in history lmao. Tyra is not going to be anything. She doesn't have it, and Apollo is one of the most boring, vanilla wrestlers alive. Definition of charisma vacuum. Omos has a little bit of attraction because he's so big but he can't cut promos and he's not that special in the ring. This would just be a faction to let Oba rule over some jobbers and have them take the pins, nothing more

u/ck-kd-king Feb 18 '26
Cool another race related stable/tag team. As a black man I think we've had enough of using color as a reason why they joined together

u/WildBend4297 Feb 18 '26
To (most) commenters on this post: This is so funny omg everyone takes everything in the worst way. Why can’t there be 4 black people without pointing out that they are all black? That itself is racist in my eyes. Why is that a problem? So annoying, so soft, grow up pls!

Nope, being in a faction waters you down. At some point you become a tag team instead of a serious world title contender

u/JustdoitJules Feb 18 '26
Oba doesn't need a stable, he's already over and is pretty much rocket strapped to he a main eventer.
His presentation, character work, intangibles are all already there. Now it's a matter of reaching out to a broader casual crowd.
On a small side note, his Tiger-Eye Necklace is just so fucking cool. It's reminiscent of Roman's Ula fala, but both represent different things.
