* The Calling in MLW, with Rickey Shane Page, AKIRA (Alex Atkisson), Wrestling/{{Delirious}}, and Dr Cornwallis. A group reminiscent of his older stables like Raven’s Nest or The Flock and mixed with the aura of another popular former faction of the promotion, Wrestling/ContraUnit.

* {{Cult}}: He was followed by a stable of misfits known as "Raven's Nest", which at different points included such wrestlers as the Pitbulls, the [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Dudleys]], longtime lackey Stevie Richards, and even [[Wrestling/MickFoley Cactus Jack]]. TNA's Serotonin also had this vibe.

** TNA caught a lot of heat from internet fans, for whatever that's worth, for having Raven and Wrestling/CMPunk in a stable together right after they had a feud in Wrestling/RingOfHonor. It's the same thing as Wrestling/BritishStrongStyle: Pete Dunne is with Mustache Mountain outside of the WWE, but within it he's their foe. But the difference is how fierce the rivalry was between Punk/Raven in Northeast Indies (most notably Ring of Honor) and how Punk was, essentially, in a version of Raven's flock in TNA at the same time. While not the same situation, when Nakamura and Joe were at the peak of their feud in ''[[{{Wrestling/WWENXT}} NXT]]'', had they also been doing weekly ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' in a tag team, it would have hurt them overall.

** TNA caught a lot of heat from internet fans, for whatever that's worth, for having Raven and Wrestling/CMPunk in a stable together right after they had a feud in Wrestling/RingOfHonor. It's at the same thing time as their feud in Wrestling/RingOfHonor and across the northeast US independents where they were shown to be severe ideological enemies. Two similar situations would occur in WWE through its ''[[{{Wrestling/WWENXT}} NXT]]'' brand showcasing the potential issue with this. One is Wrestling/BritishStrongStyle: Pete Dunne is with Mustache Mountain outside of in Progress Wrestling, but in WWE he and Tyler Bate were initially rivals for the WWE, but within it he's NXT UK Championship. The other is #DIY: Tommaso Ciampa had carved a treacherous path to the NXT Championship on the foundation of callously breaking Johnny Gargano, leading Gargano to create gambits of his own to become Ciampa's challenger in a path of vengeance, only for WWE to try to call them up to ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' in a genuine babyface tag team while this was still ongoing. Difference is, Dunne and Bate's shared background was acknowledged by WWE and Progress treated their foe. But the difference is how fierce the rivalry was between Punk/Raven in Northeast Indies (most notably Ring of Honor) and how therein as friendly competition, creating continuity that made sense when British Strong Style aligned together on ''NXT'' after Dunne turned face to fight Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra. Punk was, essentially, and Raven, as well as Gargano and Ciampa, were both treated as bitter enemies in a version of Raven's flock one place and staunch allies in TNA another at the same time. While not the same situation, when Nakamura and Joe were time with zero sense of irony or acknowledgement on either side. Three of those guys would've been unknown at the peak time to exclusive fans of their feud in ''[[{{Wrestling/WWENXT}} NXT]]'', had the larger audience, while fans of the smaller audience were confused asking how the hell are they also been doing weekly ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' in a tag team, it would have hurt them overall.friends on the bigger show. Predictably, neither The Gathering nor DIY's presentation on ''Raw'' were very productive.

* FreudianExcuse: Subverted in WCW. Raven claimed that he grew up dirt poor and homeless, and was suffering from depression as well. The actions of his mom initially supported this, but when Kanyon ends up going to his home he finds out that Raven is ''incredibly'' wealthy and was lying about his depression to excuse his actions.
