A while back, it looked as though WWE was in the process of forming an all black faction consisting of Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E. Reports suggested that there was talk of soon adding Mark Henry to the group. However, aside from their initial appearance in the ring together following a match and a couple of shots of them backstage watching matches on monitor, nothing's come about. As a result, it's led to the conflicting reports that WWE has scrapped the idea as no mention has been made of them on television since.
PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE plans on using the group and they're in the process of experimenting with them at house shows. They've been featured at house shows both as babyfaces and heels to gauge interest among fans, how to present the group and how to ultimately move forward with it.
My initial reaction was that, as an all black faction, a Nation of Domination 2.0 thing was looming on the horizon. However, if WWE is going to ultimately use the faction at some point, my guess is that they've decided it would be best to try and avoid anything with racial overtones. Issues of racial tension have been extremely high profile the past 2.5 years especially with the controversy surrounding the deaths of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, Michael David Duncan shooting at 4 unarmed black teens & killing 1 at a Florida gas station and the current situation in Missouri regarding Michael Brown being shot by a white police officer.
