5 tag teams that broke up in the WWE Superstar Shakeup 2019

#4 The Riott Squad

Back in November 2017, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, and Sarah Logan made their main roster debut on an episode of SmackDown Live, attacking Naomi and Becky Lynch.

The trio began getting addressed as "The Riott Squad" a week later. The dastardly villains were sent to Monday Night Raw in the 2018 Superstar Shakeup and had been actively wrestling on the red brand ever since.

The three women never rose beyond the ranks of a mid-card tag team and were recently fed to the WrestleMania headliner trio of Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair. On tonight's Superstar Shakeup edition of SmackDown Live, it was announced that Liv Morgan would be joining the blue brand. This leaves Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott on Raw and marks the official breakup of The Riott Squad. It would be interesting to see where Morgan goes from here onwards, now that she won't have her longtime allies to back her up.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
