10 Most Pointless WWE Tag Team Breakups Ever

7. Daniel Bryan & Rowan

Daniel Bryan’s evil vegan heel run was one of the best wrestling character changes in recent memory. And, as weird as it is to say, Rowan definitely did his part in enhancing the act. Bryan was the malevolent yet somehow justified warrior determined on toppling the system, while Rowan provided the muscle that excused Bryan from getting physically involved when he didn’t want to, further elevating the heel act.

Hence, it was very strange when WWE decided to separate the two; that too by turning Bryan face for some reason. This obviously sucked because it meant they were giving up on Bryan’s heel run and pretty much everyone agrees that character had a lot more mileage left in it. This disappointment was compounded by the fact when the story began, it was part of the Roman Reigns whodunit angle.

The investigation zeroed in on Bryan and Rowan before it was eventually revealed that the Recyclable One was acting on his own accord and against Bryan’s wishes. Instead of an epic Reigns-Bryan feud, we got the Bryan-Rowan split and the end of a surprisingly memorable partnership.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
