10 WWE Tag Teams That Broke Up Way Too Soon
8. The New Age Outlaws
Fans didn't quite know the level of success that Road Dogg and Billy Gunn would reach as a tag team when they initially aligned in late 1997. Of course, it wasn't until they joined D-Generation X the night after WrestleMania XV that they really started to take off, quickly becoming the most beloved tandem in the entire company.
They won several tag team titles over the year that followed, just beginning to scratch the surface of what they were capable of before Dogg and Gunn branched off into the singles ranks at the onset of 1999. Each of them could have done their own thing without actually formally splitting up, but that didn't stop WWE from having Gunn betray his best friend that April because they had high hopes for him as a singles star.
Once Gunn flopped as the King of the Ring winner and Dogg's weaknesses as an in-ring competitor were exposed, they were quietly put back together in September 1999 and remained a unit until Dogg's departure from the company in 2001.
