Current heel stables in AEW The Pinnacle Kenny Omega & the Good Brothers Hardy Family Office Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page's crew Miro, Kip Sabian & Penelope Ford (almost done?) Miro and Kip are almost done. I don't think Ethan and Sky is a stable, I just think they're going to team against the Sydals, and it will go from there. I think there's loose associations, tag teams, trios, but as far as stables go, there's really only Pinnacle and Hardy Family Office. Good Brothers are just some Omega lackeys. I think a Faction/Stable should be 4 or more. 3 is just some buds hanging out. Kenny & the Goods technically should count with Don Callis as Kenny's manager, which makes them four, and you have Michael Nakazawa acting as another Omega ally, which brings them up to 5.

Damn you Bluebird! I have never seen Nakazawa and the Good Brothers together, so they're just pals, hangin', at different times. Callis and Omega are like family. I don't think I've seen Callis come out with the Good Brothers when they had their match, or Nakazawa, so I wouldn't say he manages them or is with them, even though he is their boss. Good Brothers work for Callis in another company, so they're kind of hired goons who happen to be close to Callis' guy. So I say, not a faction. I would think it's funny if they claimed to be Bullet Club and made Nakazawa a Bullet Club member.

I'm fine with alliances. If I'm a solo star in a company with so many rivals in factions, I'd want a guy watching my back too. Also a win in a tag match still benefits the solo ambitions of both guys, as a win is a win.
A heel turn worked wonders for Britt, I'm hoping it'll help Scorpio to show more personality.

Great, Another stable. And I thought WWE's "gang wars" period was bad. This is getting ridiculous.
I hated that period in WWE. I like it when there is 1 strong heel faction and another faction on a smaller scale.

A lot of people tend to view AEW as a modern expy of WCW, but it really draws the majority of its inspiration from NJPW, where essentially everyone who isn't a young lion is in CHAOS, the Bullet Club, Suzuki-Gun, or some lesser group like Taguchi Japan. I don't envision AEW moving away from it any time soon, because it's such an integral part of AEW's product.
I, personally, don't mind it, because it gives the show a more organic feel, and the wrestlers all feel like real people rather than being boxed into solely interacting with whoever they happen to be feuding with at the time. Plus, it's not uncommon in other "singles" sports for people to be affiliated with "teams," despite being in it for themselves. F-1 and NASCAR have "teams." The UFC has "camps." It makes less sense in kayfabe for 70% of the roster to be running around in a dangerous environment with no allies than it does for a lot of them to be loosely affiliated with one another.

Yeah the stables definitely have the NJPW feeling.

It's always been huge in Japan and the people in charge are heavily influenced by Puro. Personally doesn't bug me

Along with the fact many were just fighting for no real goal except to remind everyone that most of them were cultural stereotypes and that the Harris Brothers were probably racist.

Given the SS tattoos that they have, I think we can say they’re definitely racist.

It was after they decided “Hey, this is fine to show” where the view went from probably to definitely.

I like the amount of factions and groups in AEW. It makes the product stick out from other American promotions (ironically by being a lot more like a Japanese promotion in that regard). Also makes the few lone wolves out there like Jon Moxley stand out even more.

It's also why I have a hard time getting into NJPW. That's fair, but it's definitely the style of product that AEW is putting forward. I don't expect there to ever really be "strictly singles" guys in AEW, insofar as they don't have friends/allies in the locker room to help them out if they get outnumbered. Moxley and Darby are "lone wolf" style singles guys, but they have a select few allies who have stepped forward to help them.

Like they could form an alliance but it doesn't mean they're just gonna be a team, or a faction. Could just mean they have a match together vs The Sydal's, could mean something more. Going off one psot match segment isn't easy lol.
