What was the rationale behind splitting such a dominant team?

Ziggler plays a very different role on RAW, as compared to Drew McIntyre

As I've mentioned before, RAW is very low on star power right now. Seth Rollins is the only legitimate top star still left in the brand. Braun Strowman is out nursing an injury until TLC. Roman Reigns, John Cena and even Alexa Bliss are examples of superstars on the shelf.

So, if Ziggler were to branch away from McIntyre, a veteran of his stature could help get other superstars over. We saw how insignificant Jinder Mahal vs. No Way Jose felt this week. Having an upper mid-card level superstar like Dolph Ziggler in the mix would just bring anyone stagnating at the bottom of the barrel, one level up.
