The Resistance

The Resistance, was a professional wrestling stable that primarily competed in WWE between 2015 and 2021 and mainly consisted of James Harrison, Neville and Tyler Breeze. The original gimmick of the group was a dominate foreign faction but this changed in 2016 following the additions of American wrestlers, all of which only had short tenures with the group except for Bliss. The group originally formed in Japanese promotion Dragon with Harrison, Neville, then going by the ring name Pac and Masato Yoshino under the name World-1, a name Harrison and Neville used in their early NXT days.

The group temporarily split between March 2014 and 2015 after Harrison moved to the main roster and Neville remained on NXT. They reunited in March 2015 and first won the WWE Tag Team Championship at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view in June 2015, holding the titles and remaining unbeaten until December 2016, ending their run at a record 553 days. During this reign in March 2016 they were joined by Tyler Breeze, since then Nevill and Breeze have primarily competed for the tag titles with Harrison competing for singles titles. Over the next few years the team continued to dominate primarily on the Raw brand winning the Raw Tag Team titles a record eight times, they have also won the SmackDown Tag team titles twice and the NXT Tag Team Championship once. Following Drew McIntyre's call up to the main roster in 2018 he joined the group. During their time in the group both Harrison and McIntyre have won world titles, with Harrison winning six. Harrison, Breeze and Neville have also all won both the Intercontinental and the United States champions. The group has also competed within NJPW and Ring of Honor in 2018 and 2019 and feuded with the Bullet Club which led to matches at G1 Special in San Francisco and a tag match between Harrison, Neville and Breeze against Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks at All In. The group officially disbanded in 2021 when both Neville and Breeze chose to leave WWE.

The groups heel turn in May 2015 and subesquent feud with The New Day saw them highly praised, the feud later won the Wrestling Observer Newsletters feud of the year award. The groups have continuation of success and praise outside of the WWE has led them to be considered the best WWE team of the 21st century and one of the best of all-time.

2016–2017: Stable formation and domination
The team continued to defend their WWE Tag Team Championship throughtout 2016, in March Neville suffered a fracture to his ankle meaning he would miss four months. Following this Harrison began defending the titles algonside Tyler Breeze, the WWE allowed this as a continuation of the ongoing reign. Harrison won the United States Championship from Kalisto at Extreme Rules in May, Neville would return in July 2016 from then he and Breeze began defending the titles to allow Harrison to focus on his singles career. On the October 4, 2016 episode of Raw Breeze and Neville defeated Anderson and Gallows, Sheamus and Cesaro, and The New Day in a fatal four-way tag team match to ensure they break Demolition's 478-day record for all WWE Tag Team titles.

He then stated that after he, Neville and Breeze had decided to focus on singles competition they needed a new tag team and Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were added to group as new members.

At the Royal Rumble, Harrison not only defended his Universal Championship successfully but Neville and Gallows and Anderson won the Cruiserweight and Raw Tag titles respectively. This meant that the group held all of the mens titles in the WWE.
