10 Most Pointless WWE Tag Team Breakups Ever
5. Team Rhodes Scholars
At this point looking back on most parts of Cody Rhodes’ WWE career invokes a case of what-the-hell-were-they-thinking syndrome. It’s doubly true for this particular phase because it was alongside another man who was constantly denied his due, in spite of getting over time and again with just about any kind of gimmick imaginable.
But yes in 2012, the future AEW founder had formed a dastardly alliance with the Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses, and would you know it, they were very good together. It was just a nice and simple heel act that played its part just right. They had potential too for setting some good storylines in the tag division, especially since they began their union by attacking Team Hell No.
Yet again however, a team had its plug pulled before going very far. At that year’s Money in the Bank, Sandow turned on Rhodes in order to win the World Heavyweight Title Money in the Bank Ladder match. The pair would go on to have a feud but that never really built up much steam.
