WWE is celebrating the nWo this week to commemorate 25 years since the legendary faction was formed at WCW Bash at the Beach 1996.
The nWo started out as a three man group with Hollywood Hogan joining the Outsiders, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. They quickly became the coolest thing in wrestling and expanded their numbers to a comical degree. It felt like nearly everyone on the WCW roster eventually joined some version of the nWo, including the Wolfpac and even the LWO.
Speaking of the Latino World Order, Dominik Mysterio wants to bring it back:

That shot comes from a pretty neat photo album that WWE posted showing current superstars modeling an iconic nWo shirt. I recommend clicking through the album yourself if you want to see what it might look like if the nWo included wrestlers like Asuka, Cesaro, Bayley, or Liv Morgan in their ranks.
For example, here is Kingsuke Nakamura and his hype man Rick Boogs donning the Outsiders gear, including the toothpick.

This photo of Rhea Ripley is just Too Sweet:

Finally, here are Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods joining up with the Wolfpac:

Do you think the nWo gimmick can work with today’s WWE product? If the nWo magically came back tomorrow, which wrestlers should join up first?
