WWE Already Dropped New Faction

Apparently WWE has already dropped the new faction of Xavier Woods, Big E & Kofi Kingston. In the dark match before last night’s WWE Main Event broadcast in Seattle, Big E got a babyface pop and came out by himself and defeated Fandango. Kofi worked last night’s Main Event and lost to Seth Rollins. There was no mention of the faction with Woods & Big E and Kofi was back to his normal gimmick. Adam Rose defeated Woods in the dark match before the SmackDown tapings began. Like Kofi & Big E, Woods was back to his normal gimmick. It was reported by F4WOnline that if the faction wasn’t mention on last night’s Main Event then it was to be considered officially dropped.
