10 Most Pointless WWE Tag Team Breakups Ever
Are you an IIconic tag team setting The Bar? That won't save you from WWE randomly disbanding you.
Vince McMahon hates tag teams.
By now this might as well be the actual tagline of WWE’s tag divisions. Despite the enormous wealth of talent available to them, despite the potential for telling incredible stories with the tag teams like they used to, WWE refuse to give the division a chance.
It gets worse, because while tag wrestlers are probably resigned to the fact that they’ll never be headlining shows, many times WWE buries them into the ground even more than necessary by splitting them up for no reason whatsoever. Sure, in some cases it’s because one or more of the members are destined for singles stardom, but that still doesn’t excuse the fact that they killed an act while it still had a lot more to offer.
Some of these came about as a result of storylines that later went nowhere, some happened because Vince simply didn’t fancy them anymore. Don’t bother looking for the reason, because there is none. With all that out of the day, let's dig right and start cutting those teams apart...
10. The Bar
Sheamus and Cesaro, as nonsensical as their initial pairing was, had gone on to become one of the most successful tag teams in modern times. And despite the apathy towards the division, they, The Usos and The New Day ensured that even this barren phase for tag team wrestling in WWE will be remembered fondly by the WWE Universe.
This makes their breakup so bizarre. There was no reason, no storyline, not even an explanation as to why one of the cornerstones of the tag division just stopped teaming together. Of course, this was largely forced by Sheamus’s injury, which at the time was feared could be career-ending, but surely the least WWE could have done was provide some sort of explanation.
If nothing else just have Cesaro do a Triple H post WrestleMania 14 and justify the split that way. Nope, instead we were asked to pretend they didn’t even exist.
