The Artist Collective is a professional wrestling stable in WWE, consisting of Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro (with Zayn currently inactive due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns). They compete on the SmackDown brand, where Sami Zayn is the former Intercontinental Champion but was stripped of the title that is now vacant.

The stable originally debuted on the October 25, 2019 episode of SmackDown in an 3-on-3 Tag Team match. Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro, and King Corbin teamed up together with Sami Zayn as their manager. They faced the team of Roman Reigns, Ali, and Shorty G (shortened from original name, Chad Gable). After a victory in this match the two (Zayn and Cesaro) started managing and putting on Tag Team matches with Shinsuke Nakamura, who at the time was Intercontinental Champion until dropping the belt to Braun Strowman.
