What was the rationale behind splitting such a dominant team?

Sadly, Ziggler's injury may have also ended his big push
In my opinion, this is what probably happened. Dolph Ziggler, unfortunately, got injured ahead of the last episode of RAW. Last minute plans had to be made and McIntyre was paired with Corbin and Lashley.

But then, it turned out that Dolph Ziggler's injury wasn't all that serious. And this resulted in him returning to RAW the very next week, this time without a real partner. But because he's one of the best workers in the roster, he was put into the Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge against Seth Rollins.

This is just guesswork but I suppose that the untimely injury may have caused Ziggler to lose out on the primary storyline on RAW. Let's hope that whatever else RAW plans for Ziggler pans out for the best because he's way too talented a star to be wasted.
