5 tag teams WWE has split since 2016 (and the reasons why)

#1 The Riott Squad

The Riott Squad had the potential to become a top tier tag team in the women's division

The Riott Squad debuted on the main roster after Survivor Series 2017 as the trio of Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan decimated Naomi and Becky Lynch backstage. They instantly rose to the top of the SmackDown Live women’s division as Ruby earned herself a shot at the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Fastlane 2018. Though she could not win the title, the Riott Squad had established themselves as a force to reckon with.

WWE had always kept the Riott Squad engaged on WWE TV but their run concluded earlier this year when WWE separated Liv Morgan from the team during the Superstar Shakeup. Liv moved to the Blue brand while her associates stayed on the ‘A’ show. The fans expected that Morgan would receive a massive push in the singles division and perhaps, that was the reason behind the split.

However, the rumor mill stated that the Creative team split up the Riott Squad because Liv Morgan was going to be a part of Total Divas.

So far, it seems like the rumor is true because Morgan has not been showcased as a singles competitor on SmackDown whereas she has taken part in the Total Divas show.
