Raven's Nest was a professional wrestling stable led by Raven that was present in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) between 1995 and 1997.

Later, Raven created other incarnations of the group in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) such as The Flock and The Dead Pool, and in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) such as The Gathering and Serotonin. A new incarnation of the group was formed in Major League Wrestling as The Calling.

Raven's Nest was formed in Extreme Championship Wrestling on the January 10, 1995 episode of Hardcore TV when Stevie Richards introduced the former Johnny Polo to ECW as Raven, who proclaimed himself as the leader of Generation X. Raven helped Richards defeat Hack Meyers in a match. Raven immediately began feuding with Tommy Dreamer after his debut and cut promos on weekly television to show his hatred for Dreamer and instilled the hatred into Richards. Richards would then compete against Dreamer in a match at Double Tables, which Richards lost, ending his winning streak. Raven's faction began expanding at Return of the Funker when Richards introduced The Broad Street Bullies (Johnny Hotbody and Tony Stetson) as the newest member of the group and the four brawled with Dreamer. At Extreme Warfare, Raven, Richards and the Bullies defeated Dreamer in a Generation X gauntlet match after Dreamer beat Richards, Stetson and Hotbody but failed to beat Raven after Terry Funk severed Raven's handcuffs.

At Three Way Dance, Richards gave an ultimatum to Bullies to win their match against The Pitbulls (Pitbull #1 and Pitbull #2) or else they would be fired from Raven's Nest. Pitbulls defeated the Bullies, thus ousting them from the group and replacing them in Raven's Nest. The following match was the first singles encounter between Raven and Dreamer, during which Raven introduced Beulah McGillicutty, an overweight girl whom Raven and Dreamer met in a summer camp and Dreamer had abandoned her. She had by then become a Penthouse model and she seconded Raven to the ring. During the match, Richards tried to kiss McGillicutty, who slapped him, leading Dreamer to intervene. It turned out to be a ruse as McGillicutty blinded him with a hair spray and Richards attacked her, allowing Raven to defeat him. The following week, at Hostile City Showdown, Richards took on Mikey Whipwreck, who defeated Richards after Hack Meyers prevented Raven from interfering in the match. Later that night, Raven and Dreamer competed in a rematch, which ended after Dreamer notably delivered a piledriver to McGillicutty. Pitbulls would also compete at the event, challenging Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Rocco Rock) for the World Tag Team Championship in a losing effort.

At Enter the Sandman, Whipwreck and Dreamer took on Raven and Richards in a tag team match, which Raven and Richards won by disqualification after Dreamer hit Raven with a clenched fist. Later at the event, Pitbulls received a rematch for the World Tag Team Championship against Public Enemy in a dog collar match but failed to win the titles. As a result of a pre-match stipulation, Public Enemy got five minutes with Richards but Raven saved him and a brawl ensued which culminated with Dreamer making the save. Beulah McGillicutty and Luna Vachon also got involved and Dreamer delivered a piledriver to McGillicutty to close the show. At Barbed Wire, Hoodies & Chokeslams, Vampire Warrior made his ECW debut as Raven's Nest's newest member, who arrived in ECW to fight Dreamer to get Dreamer's hands off his real wife Vachon. Warrior would then lose a match to Dreamer. Later that night, Richards helped McGillicutty defeat Vachon in a match by hitting the latter with a chair. The match was followed by a brutal moment where Raven handcuffed Vachon in a crucifixion position and tried to hit her with a chair but Dreamer stepped in to receive the chair shot. Due to the assault, Dreamer was unable to team with 2 Cold Scorpio and Taz in a six-man tag team match against Pitbulls and Richards, making it a handicap match. Richards would get distracted by flirting with the debuting Francine and McGillicutty at ringside, which prompted Raven to scold Richards and push him back to the locker room. The distraction caused Pitbulls to lose to Scorpio and Taz. This incident would bow the seeds for dissension between Pitbulls and Raven's Nest.

At Mountain Top Madness, Pitbulls defeated local wrestlers Dino Sandoff and Don E. Allen, while Raven and Richards got championship success by defeating Public Enemy to win the ECW World Tag Team Championship. At Hardcore Heaven, Pitbulls took on the debuting Dudley Brothers (Dudley Dudley and Snot Dudley) in the opening match. During the match, Francine kissed Richards, leading to McGillicutty brawling with her. Raven broke up the fight by taking them backstage, distracting Pitbulls and causing them to lose once again in similar fashion. Later at the event, Raven and Richards defended the World Tag Team Championship against Dreamer and Vachon. They retained the titles after Beulah threw powder in Vachon's face. Pitbulls would appear after the match and Raven ordered them to deliver a superbomb to Vachon. Pitbulls refused to oblige, prompting Richards and Raven to humiliate them by shoving apple pie in their face. Pitbulls eventually attacked Raven and Richards, thus leaving Raven's Nest and turning into faces. They tried to nail a superbomb to Richards but Dudley Brothers saved Richards, thus confirming their allegiance to Raven's Nest.

At Heat Wave, Raven and Richards retained the World Tag Team Championship against Don E. Allen and Tony Stetson by getting counted out after leaving the ring to break up a brawl between Francine and Beulah. Later at the event, Raven and Dudley Brothers lost to Dreamer and Pitbulls in a six-man tag team match, and Richards lost a steel cage match to Vachon. A post-match brawl occurred after the steel cage match, in which Dreamer handcuffed Raven to the ring and hit him with a chair, which infamously became known in the wrestling industry as "The Chair Shot Heard Around The World". At Wrestlepalooza, the four-man Raven's Nest consisting of Raven, Richards and Dudley Brothers (Big Dick Dudley and Dudley Dudley) defeated Dreamer, Cactus Jack and Pitbulls in an eight-man tag team match after Jack turned on Dreamer by hitting him with a double arm DDT and put Raven on top of him for the pinfall. As a result of the incident, Jack joined Raven's Nest and began feuding with Dreamer. On August 26, a match took place between Beulah McGillicutty and Francine after months of catfights between the two. Stevie Richards served as the guest referee for the match. Richards turned on Francine by hitting her with a Stevie Kick and McGillicutty pinned her for the win. After the match, Raven and Richards assisted McGillicutty in delivering a spike piledriver to Francine. Following that, Francine joined The Pitbulls in feuding with Raven's Nest.

During this time, Snot Dudley got injured and eventually left ECW, and was replaced by Dances with Dudley as Dudley Dudley's new tag team partner in Dudley Brothers. At Gangstas Paradise, Dudleys defeated Chad Austin and Don E. Allen. Later at the event, Raven and Richards lost the World Tag Team Championship to The Pitbulls in a two out of three falls match after Dreamer and 9-1-1 thwarted interferences by Dudley Brothers and attacked crooked referee Bill Alfonso, leading Commissioner Tod Gordon to count the pinfall. At South Philly Jam, Cactus Jack defeated the debuting El Puerto Riqueño after the latter refused to forfeit the match. Raven and Jack attacked Riqueño after the match but Dreamer made the save only to get double teamed by Raven and Jack, leading to Pitbulls making the save. Later at the event, Raven and Richards defeated Pitbulls to regain the titles. However, at the same event, Raven and Richards lost the titles to Public Enemy in a three-way match, also involving The Gangstas (Mustafa Saed and New Jack). On the October 17 episode of Hardcore TV, Raven's Nest gained a new member when Buh Buh Ray Dudley debuted in ECW as the newest member of Dudley Brothers.
