The group was a huge success as all four superstars found a place at the top of the card. Two superstars who benefited massively in the group were Orton and Batista.

On an episode of WWE Network's Ruthless Aggression, Triple H revealed that the rest of the locker room back then was jealous of the two young stars and they wanted to bury them.

Triple H then spoke to Batista and Orton personally and told them that the locker room was going to hate them so they need to decide whether they want to be in the group.
