Rumors of their demise might be premature considering they work a dark match tonight. Kofi and Big E w/Xavier acting as their manager beat Slater Gator. They also worked as babyfaces.

Remember that time they all stood around outside the ring and were well dressed? Good times, I think I'm gonna cry. That's the only moment I remember!! Pass the tissues

They apparently were still together in a dark match at tonight's tapings. And the crowd goes mild!

This just proves my First Friday theory...They were just getting together to go to a boojie house party. I'm glad they finally figured out how a calendar works.

So is Titus going to turn on Heath, and join the New New New Nation? Or maybe he could bring Heath with him, to fill the Owen Hart role.
This angle should end with them getting all the gold, and our hero John Cena debuting a new, pure white shirt, to beat them all in a handicap match and regain the belts (including the tag titles).

"Our top story tonight, The New Nation is still dead as they chalked up a victory over Heath Slater and Titus O'Neil before the SmackDown tapings on Tuesday night..."

Cue Sarah MacLachlan...
If written appropriately, they could have tied the Ferguson tragedy and still gone with the New Nation, but it's WWE Creative we're talking about here...

If the plan is to make them a heel stable, staying as far away from Ferguson would probably be their best bet as to "writing it appropriately." I mean, they could go down the Muhammad Hassan route and give the heel legitimate complaints that can only be answered with generic race/nationalist bait like "love it or leave it," but is that really a better avenue?

That's the trick, isn't it? They can't be heels, because a black heel group would be horrible for the WWE's image. And they can't be faces unless the WWE wants to make themselves the heels for keeping the black man down. Having these guys in a stable is a good idea, because they're all better than the... nothing... that they've been given to do. But I don't know how it's going to work. Maybe they could just be known as Blerd Nation or something.

I call them New Nation like most others so it may be hypocritical to say but why not just have them be a three man stable of three wrestlers. The Shield weren't white power, 3MB weren't KKK, why does "New Nation" have to be about being black?

The Shield weren't white power, 3MB weren't KKK, why does "New Nation" have to be about being black? Because a stable of white guys is considered 'normal', and a stable of black guys is 'other'. There have been countless all-white stables that were about countless different things. Childish douchebags, militant Canadians, badass, tough guy wrestlers, the continuity of Dis Bizniss. But the only all-black stable was a very thinly veiled Nation of Islam gimmick. Although, to be fair, once the Rock took over, the racial aspect seemed to be dropped (other than when DX painted themselves up).

I'd laugh if they re-united on TV and Woods just rips a promo like Kurt Angle and is all "I don't like THE WHITE PEOPLE" to just get over this New Nation thing. I think something so over the top would drive home it isn't racial and people could enjoy a new, mid card stable of guys trying to move up the ladder.
