The Social Outcasts (sometimes written as #SocialOutcasts) are a professional wrestling stable who currently perform in the WWE. The group consists of Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, and Bo Dallas, with Adam Rose currently suspended due to breaking WWE's wellness policy.[1][2]

History

Formation

On January 4, 2016 episode of Raw, Heath Slater was accompanied to the ring by Curtis Axel, Adam Rose and Bo Dallas for a match against Dolph Ziggler. After distractions from Axel, Rose and Dallas; Slater would pick up the win. Following the win the group cut a promo, calling themselves The Social Outcasts.[3] The following week on Raw, they fought The Wyatt Family to a no contest after interference from Ryback.[4] On the January 14 episode of SmackDown, the four defeated the team of Goldust, Damien Sandow, Jack Swagger and Zack Ryder in an eight man tag match.[5] On February 21 at Fastlane, Axel defeated R-Truth in a singles match.[6] On the March 17 episode of SmackDown all four members announced they would be the first four participants in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32, which was won by Baron Corbin.[7][8] On the April 11 episode of Raw, The Social Outcasts (Axel and Slater) were defeated by the Usos in the first round of a tag team tournament.[9]

On 16 April, Leppan (Adam Rose) was suspended for 60 days after his second violation of the company's Wellness Program.[10] His absence was explained by Axel, saying he had gone to another dimension to look for a bunny and was replaced by Viktor.[11][12] Leppan was replaced on the UK Tour with Viktor who accompanied Axel to the ring against Goldust. Konnor (Viktor's partner) was also suspended along with Leppan for 60 days making Viktor an honorary member of The Social Outcasts.
