It might sound surprising but Jon Moxley(Dean Ambrose in WWE) alongside Fandango and EC3 were originally pitched to be a part of 3MB stable with Heath Slater. The stable actually saw Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal.
They did not have the best of runs in WWE and was eventually disbanded. Later on, McIntyre and Mahal returned to WWE as they became world champions. Sasha Banks Shows Off ‘New Partner’ To WWE Fans?

The former WWE star Heath Slater recently talked to Such Good Shoot and revealed that he wanted Dean Ambrose, Fandango and EC3 for his stable instead. Here is what he had to say:
“He wanted me to be the one man band. No, it was the one man rock band. The one man southern rock band. The one man country band, or I don’t know, he had me doing so much stuff to where I was like, ‘Man, can I just be the one man band?’”
“I ran with it, ran with with for a while. Then it wasn’t going nowhere and ran its course. I was like, ‘Come on. I need a band now. I’ve been a one man band. Let me have a band.’ They’re just like, ‘Oh, who are you thinking?’ I pitch [Dean] Ambrose, Fandango, and EC3. And this is before any of them are on TV. Fandango and EC3 were on NXT season three or something. So I pitch for those three. And then they were like, ‘Okay, let me get back with you.’ And this is Michael Hayes the whole time I’m talking with. The month goes by — nothing. You know, like, ‘Hey, baby, what the hell, man? I need this band!’”
