The group was formed by newcomer [[Ron Simmons|Faarooq]] in 1996 and remained an influential faction in the company. While in the group, [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] was a [[List of WWE Intercontinental Champions|one-time]] [[WWE Intercontinental Championship|Intercontinental Champion]]<ref name="ictitle">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/intercontinental/|title=WWE Intercontinental Championship official title history|publisher=WWE|access-date=May 11, 2008}}</ref> and [[D'Lo Brown]] was a [[List of WWE European Champions|two-time]] [[WWE European Championship|European Champion]].<ref name="eurotitle">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/euro/|title=WWE European Championship official title history|publisher=WWE|access-date=May 11, 2008}}</ref> Near the end of The Nation's existence, the group was joined by [[Owen Hart]].

== Concept == The group was based loosely on the [[Nation of Islam]] and [[gang|street gang]] lifestyle (with group members adopting Islamic names and wearing [[Taqiyah (cap)|Muslim headgear]]) and the [[Black Panther Party]]. The extremism of the group's pro-black theme – often including the "Nation Salute" and Faarooq's angry tirades on the microphone – garnered them an excessive amount of [[Heat (professional wrestling)|heat]] from fans in arenas.<ref name=Nation/>

== History == === Formation in WWF (1996–1997) === On the October 28, 1996 edition of Monday Night Raw, announcer Jim Ross revealed that [[Ron Simmons|Faarooq]] had taken [[Clarence Mason]] as his new [[Manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] after Ross recommended Mason's services for a lawsuit against Ahmed Johnson. Ross noted the duo would appear on WWF Livewire that Saturday with "big changes" in store for Faarooq, meaning the dropping of his "Roman gladiator" gimmick. The Nation of Domination [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] faction would make its debut at [[Survivor Series (1996)|Survivor Series]], where Faarooq would be accompanied to the ring by Mason and [[PG-13 (professional wrestling)|PG-13]] ([[J.C. Ice]] and [[Wolfie D]]). The four men were also accompanied by three actors, Albert Armstrong, Charles Hines, and Richard Beach, whose names were unacknowledged on screen and were supposed to represent other members of the Nation. Faarooq would team with [[Big Van Vader|Vader]], [[Kane (wrestler)|Fake Diesel]], and [[Rick Bognar|Fake Razor Ramon]] in a 4-on-4 [[Survivor Series match|Survivor Series elimination match]] against [[Flash Funk]], [[Jimmy Snuka]], [[Savio Vega]] and [[Yokozuna (wrestler)|Yokozuna]], where it ended in a no contest.<ref name="WWE Results">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/survivorseries/history/1996/results/|title=Survivor Series 1996 official results|publisher=[[World Wrestling Entertainment]]|date=November 17, 1996|accessdate=2011-01-04}}</ref>

Many wrestlers joined the heel stable over time including [[Brian Adams (wrestler)|Crush]], [[D'Lo Brown]], and [[Savio Vega]]. Their first [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] was with [[Ahmed Johnson]], who had a rivalry with Faarooq since [[SummerSlam (1996)|SummerSlam]]. At the [[Royal Rumble (1997)|Royal Rumble]], the Nation assisted Faarooq during his match against Johnson. Faarooq lost by [[Professional wrestling#Disqualification|disqualification]] after Crush interfered and attacked Johnson.<ref name=Nation>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwwew.net/ppv/wwf/january/1997.htm|title=Royal Rumble 1997|work=PWWEW.net|access-date=May 11, 2008|archive-date=November 29, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129135747/http://www.pwwew.net/ppv/wwf/january/1997.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/royalrumble/history/1988114111/|title=Royal Rumble 1997 official results|publisher=WWE|access-date=May 11, 2008}}</ref>

Faarooq, Crush, and Vega were the members of Nation of Domination who wrestled while others supported them during their matches. These three men often teamed up together in [[Professional wrestling tag team match types#Multiple man teamed matches|six-man tag team matches]] such as one at [[In Your House 13: Final Four]] against [[Mike Polchlopek|Bart Gunn]], [[Goldust]], and [[2 Cold Scorpio|Flash Funk]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwwew.net/ppv/wwf/february/1997.htm|title=In Your House 13: Final Four|work=PWWEW.net|access-date=May 12, 2008|archive-date=June 12, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612163649/http://pwwew.net/ppv/wwf/february/1997.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> and most notably in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Street fight|Chicago Street Fight]] at [[WrestleMania 13]] against the [[The Road Warriors|Legion of Doom]] ([[Road Warrior Hawk|Hawk]] and [[Road Warrior Animal|Animal]]) and Ahmed Johnson.<ref name="nation"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/history/wm13/results/|title=WrestleMania 13 official results|publisher=WWE|access-date=May 13, 2008}}</ref> At [[In Your House 15: A Cold Day in Hell|A Cold Day In Hell]], the Nation faced Johnson in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Gauntlet match|Gauntlet match]].

After losing JC Ice and Wolfie D, Faarooq began challenging [[The Undertaker]] for the [[WWE Championship|WWF Championship]] at [[King of the Ring (1997)|King of the Ring]], after Faarooq lost the match, he blamed Crush and Vega for the loss. The next night on Raw, Faarooq went to the ring with only Mason, Brown and three bodyguards and announced that due to too much arguing in the group he fired Crush and Vega, he then fired Mason and the bodyguards for not getting involved in the matches

In reality, Clarence Mason requested to be taken out of the group because he was feeling uncomfortable with the Nation of Domination storyline and with Faarooq using racist comments in promos. The other reason was because WWF owner [[Vince McMahon]] wanted more managers to start taking more bumps and getting involved in the matches.

=== Black Supremacy and The Gang Warz (1997–1998) === On the June 16 episode of ''[[WWE Raw|Raw Is War]]'', Faarooq promised that he would deliver a "Bigger, Badder, Better and Blacker" version of the Nation.<ref name="June 16, 1997">{{cite web|url=http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1998/raw042798|title=Raw is War: June&nbsp;16,&nbsp;1997|work=The Other Arena|first=John|last=Petrie|date=June 16, 1997|access-date=May 13, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010521225851/http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1998%2Fraw042798|archive-date=May 21, 2001|url-status=dead}}</ref> This led to the induction of [[The Godfather (wrestler)|Kama Mustafa]] and Ahmed Johnson into the group after Johnson [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Turn|turned]] on then [[WWE Championship|WWF Champion]] The Undertaker during a [[Professional wrestling tag team match types|tag team match]] against Faarooq and Kama.<ref name="June 16, 1997"/> Johnson would be forced out of the group due to a [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Legit|legit]] injury. He was replaced by [[Dwayne Johnson|Rocky Maivia]].<ref name="nation"/> Meanwhile, former Nation members Vega and Crush formed their own rival factions, [[Los Boricuas]] (made up entirely of Puerto Rican wrestlers), and [[The Disciples of Apocalypse]] (made up entirely of white [[Outlaw motorcycle club|biker]] wrestlers) respectively. This led to a WWF style "gang war".<ref name="nation"/>

In the following months, the Nation feuded with Los Boricuas and the Disciples of Apocalypse. This feud culminated in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|triple threat match]] between Faarooq, Vega, and Crush who were the leaders of Nation, Los Boricuas, and DOA respectively at [[Ground Zero: In Your House|Ground Zero]], which Vega won.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwwew.net/ppv/wwf/september/1997.htm|title=In Your House: Ground Zero|work=PWWEW.net|access-date=May 13, 2008}}</ref> They restarted their feud with the Legion of Doom, whom the Nation defeated at [[Badd Blood: In Your House]] in a 3-on-2 [[Professional wrestling match types#Handicap match|handicap match]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwwew.net/ppv/wwf/october/1997.htm|title=In Your House: Badd Blood|work=PWWEW.net|access-date=May 13, 2008}}</ref> As part of his heel turn, Rocky Maivia shortened and changed his [[ring name]] to The Rock. Around this time, Ahmed Johnson restarted the feud with the Nation as well and joined the Legion of Doom and [[Ken Shamrock]]. This led to a [[Survivor Series match]] at [[Survivor Series (1997)|Survivor Series]], which the Nation lost to the Legion of Doom, Johnson, and Shamrock.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/survivorseries/history/1997/results/|title=Survivor Series 1997 official results|publisher=WWE|access-date=May 13, 2008}}</ref> At [[D-Generation X: In Your House]], The Rock got a shot at the [[WWE Intercontinental Championship|Intercontinental Championship]] against [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]]. In the closing minutes of the match, Austin performed a ''[[Stunner (professional wrestling)|Stone Cold Stunner]]'' on the [[Referee (professional wrestling)|referee]]. A second referee came down to count a [[Pin (professional wrestling)|pin]] for Austin, although the first referee intended to disqualify Austin.<ref name="December 1997 PPV">{{cite web|url=http://www.pwwew.net/ppv/wwf/december/1997.htm|title=In Your House Degeneration X|work=PWWEW.net|access-date=May 13, 2008}}</ref>

As a result of this controversy,<ref name="December 1997 PPV"/> Austin was forced to defend the title against The Rock the next night on ''Raw Is War''. Rock was awarded the Intercontinental Championship, however, after Austin forfeited him the title instead of defending the title in a rematch, delivering a stunner on Rock and took the championship belt back afterward. Austin appeared the next week on ''Raw is War'', taunting Rock and eventually throwing the Intercontinental Championship belt over a bridge, into a river.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1997/raw120897|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061026202130/http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1997%2Fraw120897|archive-date=October 26, 2006|title=Raw is War: December&nbsp;08,&nbsp;1997|first=John|last=Petrie|date=December 8, 1997|work=The Other Arena|access-date=May 13, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="rockic1"/> Ken Shamrock, who was already a rival of the Nation, began feuding with The Rock for the Intercontinental Championship. On the January 12, 1998 episode of ''Raw Is War'', [[Mark Henry]] turned heel and joined the Nation, by assaulting his tag team partner, Ken Shamrock, in a tag team match against The Rock and D'Lo Brown.<ref>{{cite web|first=John|last=Petrie|date=January 12, 1998|url=http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1998/raw011298|title=Raw is War: January&nbsp;12,&nbsp;1998|work=The Other Arena|access-date=May 13, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010521224859/http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1998%2Fraw011298|archive-date=May 21, 2001|url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== Leadership of The Rock (1998) === On the March 30, 1998 episode of ''Raw Is War'', the night after [[WrestleMania XIV]], The Rock went on to usurp leadership of the Nation from Faarooq, at which point the group permanently dropped "of Domination" from its name and its militant focus.<ref name="nation"/><ref>{{cite web|first=John|last=Petrie|date=March 30, 1998|url=http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1998/raw033098|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209100538/http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1998%2Fraw033098|archive-date=February 9, 2008|title=Raw is War: March&nbsp;30,&nbsp;1998|work=The Other Arena|access-date=May 13, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> Instead, The Rock's [[Gimmick (professional wrestling)|gimmick]] spread throughout the faction with Nation members taking on considerably more hip characters, the most notable being Kama Mustafa's transformation into The Godfather, D'Lo Brown's "bobble-head" and strut, and a new hip version of the group's [[Music in professional wrestling|entrance theme]], that would become associated with The Rock's character and be remixed over and over during the years to become his current theme. The Nation's primary focus by now was that The Rock retained the Intercontinental title "by any means necessary", which was the group's motto. They mainly feuded with Faarooq, who had just been kicked out of the stable. At Mayhem in Manchester, The Rock and D'Lo Brown lost to Ken Shamrock and [[Owen Hart]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/wwfuk.html#mayhem|title=Mayhem in Manchester results|work=The Other Arena|access-date=May 13, 2008}}</ref> At [[Unforgiven: In Your House]], The Nation lost to Shamrock, Faarooq, and [[Steve Blackman]] in a six-man tag team match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/unforgiven/history/1998/results/|title=Unforgiven 1998 official results|publisher=WWE|access-date=May 13, 2008}}</ref> On the April 27 episode of ''Raw Is War'', The Rock and Mark Henry faced Shamrock and Hart in a tag team match that saw Hart attacking Shamrock and joining the Nation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1998/raw042798|title=Raw is War: April&nbsp;27,&nbsp;1998|author=Christopher Robin Zimmerman|date=April 27, 1998|work=The Other Arena|access-date=May 13, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010521225851/http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/history.cgi?1998%2Fraw042798|archive-date=May 21, 2001|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The group then engaged in a rivalry with [[D-Generation X]] (DX), which saw the infamous parody DX performed in which they spoofed Nation members; Rock thoroughly humiliating [[Chyna]] by alluding to a possible romantic encounter between the two while the rest of DX were held at bay in their locker room by a forklift; a street fight between the two groups that wound up in Triple H being, in particular, singled out by the rest of the group and being beaten down with a ladder after [[Southern Justice]] interfered with the match on the Nation's behalf; the [[ladder match]] for the Intercontinental Championship between the two at [[SummerSlam (1998)|SummerSlam]]; and [[Sean Waltman|X-Pac]] and Brown trading back and forth the [[WWE European Championship|European Championship]].<ref name="browneuro1"/><ref name="browneuro2"/> The Nation and DX also wrestled in a six-man tag team match at [[Over the Edge: In Your House]], which the Nation won.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwwew.net/ppv/wwf/may/1998.htm|title=In Your House: Over the Edge|work=PWWEW.net|access-date=May 15, 2008}}</ref>

=== Fall of Nation (1998) === Toward the end of the year, the group showed signs of dissension as Rock's mannerisms and swagger began to catch on with fans. This would lead the WWF to turn The Rock [[Face (professional wrestling)|face]]. Hart left the group when he "injured" [[Dan Severn]] following a [[Botch (professional wrestling)|botched]] [[Piledriver (professional wrestling)|reverse piledriver]] on ''Raw Is War'' the night after [[Breakdown: In Your House|Breakdown]]. The incident was a mimicry of the legit incident in which Hart injured Stone Cold Steve Austin using the same move a year earlier. The guilt from the injury to Severn led Hart to "retire", but then re-surface as The Blue Blazer, effectively ending his affiliation with the Nation. The Godfather would venture out on his own as a fan favorite, bringing with him a bevy of beauties to the ring before his match with any wrestler. Rock would later be assaulted by Brown and Henry in October 1998 which would ultimately be the end of the Nation as a faction. After kicking Godfather out of the group on the ''[[WWE Heat|Sunday Night Heat]]'' episode before [[Judgment Day: In Your House]], Brown and Henry briefly continued using the Nation name, a modified Titantron, and music until dropping all three by year's end as they moved on to the tag team division without the Nation moniker.

== Aftermath == Shortly after the Nation was disbanded, The Rock decided to run solo, riding his immense rise in popularity. He won the WWF Championship at [[Survivor Series (1998)|Survivor Series]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/survivorseries/history/1998/results/|title=Survivor Series 1998 official results|publisher=WWE|access-date=May 15, 2008}}</ref> and turned heel again by joining [[Vince McMahon|Mr. McMahon]]'s [[The Corporation (professional wrestling)|Corporation]] faction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/c/corporation.html|title=Corporation Profile|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|access-date=May 15, 2008}}</ref> He would subsequently enjoy several years of success, not just in the world of wrestling, but also in Hollywood. Owen Hart would go on to form a successful tag team with [[Jeff Jarrett]], and later revive his Blue Blazer character before [[Over the Edge (1999)#Owen Hart accident|his death]] in May 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/o/owenjj.html|title=Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett Profile|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|access-date=May 15, 2008}}</ref>

D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry would remain a tag team following the dissolution of the Nation, enjoying moderate success. After Brown attempted to help Henry lose weight, Henry turned on Brown in the summer of 1999, ending the final remnants of the Nation of Domination. Brown would eventually hold both the Intercontinental and European titles at the height of his popularity. Henry would form his "Sexual Chocolate" character and would later be awarded the European Championship by Jeff Jarrett later that year. Henry would also go onto win the [[ECW World Heavyweight Championship]] and the [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] later in his career. The Nation had something of a reunion in late 1999 when D'Lo realigned himself with The Godfather, imitating his pimp gimmick. This alliance lasted all the way into early 2000, when D'Lo turned on The Godfather, thus ending the tag team. The Godfather would later win the Intercontinental and [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|World Tag Team Championship]]s in the following years.

Former leader Faarooq would also find success after the group's dissolution, going on to form the highly popular tag team the [[Acolytes Protection Agency]] (APA) with [[John Layfield|Bradshaw]]. The APA would later win the World Tag Team Championship three times before disbanding in 2004.

As of now, The Rock, Faarooq, and Godfather are the only former members still employed by the WWE. Rock is signed on a part-time basis, while also being one of the highest paid movie stars in the world, Faarooq makes occasional appearances under his real name of Ron Simmons since his 2004 retirement, and Godfather was released in 2002 and retired to manage a gentleman's club; he still occasionally makes guest appearances in WWE. Brown was released by WWE in 2003, but was rehired in 2008; he was let go once again the following year. Faarooq, Godfather and Henry were inducted into the [[WWE Hall of Fame]] in 2012, 2016, and 2018 respectively.

==Reunion== Qatar Pro Wrestling announced on April 26, 2021 that Henry, Brown, Godfather and Faarooq will be reprising their roles as the Nation of Domination in the upcoming QPW SuperSlam 3 in [[Doha]] on February 26, 2022 as special guests. This will be the first reunion in 22 years.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thesportster.com/news/nation-of-domination-reunite/ | title=Nation of Domination Set to Reunite After 22 Years | date=26 April 2021 }}</ref>
