The Ninth Clique

The Ninth Clique is a CAW stable in New-WWE under the Raw brand. It consists of leader Dylan Connell, and underlings Cawsplash and Matt Metamorphis.

The group formed on the February 1st edition of Superstars; Dylan was set to compete against nemesis El Jefe in a singles match. Dylan refused to compete against Jefe one-on-one, and brought out Cawsplash and Matt Metamorphis (both making their debuts). The three defeated El Jefe in a 3-on-1 handicap match, following a massive powerbomb by Cawsplash. Interestingly, instead of going for the pin himself, Cawsplash tagged in Dylan and allowed him to score the pinfall over his rival.

The trio competed at Extreme Rules against the team of Adolf Hitler, The Miz, and El Jefe. The Clique ended up losing by a complete blowout, unable to eliminate any of them. Later The Ninth Clique (represented by Dylan and Matt) competed in the World Tag Team Championship Tournament, but were defeated by Hitler and Chris Johansen in the first round.
