Three more teams were split as the 2021 WWE Draft concluded last night, including two women's tandems.

Tamina and Natalya are perhaps the most notable. Fresh off a Women's Tag Team Championship reign stretching from May to September (encompassing only two successful defences due to Natalya being sidelined through an ankle injury), the duo now find themselves on separate brands due to supplemental picks made on Raw Talk. Natalya is staying on SmackDown, while Tamina has been sent to Raw.

Shotzi and Nox have also gone their separate ways, with the former remaining on SmackDown and the latter heading to Raw. This is despite the duo winning two Women's Tag Team Title contendership matches against Natalya and Tamina (who have since lost the belts to Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H.) in July and August.

The trio of Jinder Mahal, Veer, and Shanky has also been split up, with Veer remaining on Raw while his two partners have been drafted to SmackDown.

WWE at least resisted the temptation to pull the Street Profits apart, which was reportedly on the cards prior to the draft commencing last Friday.
