#4 Former WWE superstars Shad Gaspard and JTG

Cryme Tyme's first WWE run saw the duo released without facing the misfortune of splitting. When they returned to the company for a second stint, they were not as lucky. WWE had Shad Gaspard attack JTG and declare the end of the tag team.

Ironically, JTG remained a part of the the company's roster years after Shad was released. After the former was finally released in 2014, following years of sporadic usage, the duo reunited from time to time.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Unfortunately, Shad Gaspard died in May 2020 in a heroic act to save his son. JTG has vastly improved and has become an important part of the NWA roster.


#3 Former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion The Revival

The Revival never split during their careers in the company, but the way the company booked them on the main roster was beyond comprehension. The talented duo asked for their release several times before finally getting their way out of the company.

The Revival wrestles as FTR in AEW. The new team name comes off as a rather insulting inside joke popularized by The Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes. They are the reigning AAA World Tag Team Champion with experience of holding the AEW tag belts as well.
