The Frat Pack
The Spirit Squad was an American professional wrestling stable in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) consisting of Kenny, Johnny, Mitch, Nicky, and Mikey. The team's ring personas were those of an all-male cheerleading squad.
Before forming the group, all members competed in OVW, WWE's developmental territory, where they were once opponents. In January 2006, the Spirit Squad made their television debut on the Raw brand. Three months later, the team won the World Tag Team Championship and, by "executive decision", were all collectively recognized as champions and internally decided which two defended the championship at any given time. Their reign marked the first time five wrestlers had been simultaneously recognized as World Tag Team Champions.
After losing the tag team championship in November 2006, the team disbanded. Kenny remained on WWE television regularly, Nicky, Mikey and Johnny returned to OVW, and Mitch was released from his WWE contract in May 2007.
By 2009, Nicky would be repackaged as Dolph Ziggler and the rest of the group was released from WWE. From 2016 to 2019, Kenny and Mikey reunited as a duo and made appearances for WWE, Major League Wrestling (MLW), and the independent circuit. In 2021, Kenny returned to WWE as a trainer and Nicky was released in 2023.
