Factions and teams have been a staple of the pro wrestling industry ever since its inception.

An individual associated with a certain group automatically starts reflecting on the ideologies of that certain group. Some promotions such as New Japan Pro Wrestling are completely built around stables, whereas in the case of WWE, teams are a small and insignificant part most of the times.

This mindset is reflected in the booking of the tag team division, despite this, WWE has had some of the most memorable teams in history.

The breakdowns of teams are sometimes essential for the betterment of individuals in the long run. So, here are 5 teams that should break up after Wrestlemania 35!


#5- The Boss 'n' Hug Connection

The tag team titles for the women's division has been an appreciated step in the women's evolution in the WWE. A very deserving team in the form of the Boss 'n' Hug connection became the first ever champions.

But on April 7th, at Wrestlemania 35, they have a big challenge their way.

From the recent build, it would be safe to guess that the titles would be defended in a four-way tag team match between the champions, the IIconics, Nia Jax and Tamina and the newly formed team of Natalya and the recently returned Beth Phoenix.

The odds are against the champions and new holders of the belt are a high possibility. After that, though things would become interesting to the bittersweet team of Bayley And Sasha Banks. The seeds for this feud could be sowed at the Mania match itself bringing upon the dissolution of the first ever Women's tag team champions in the modern era.

#4- Bobby Roode and Chad Gable

No one would have expected these two superstars to pair up.

And more surprisingly, win the top titles, granted that the tag team scene then was poorly booked with comedy acts such as the B-Team becoming the champions.

They could have built around the relationship, a feel-good teacher-disciple storyline but the creative has not bothered. They randomly appear in a few matches, deliver decent in-ring performance and fade away.

Chad Gable is a promising athlete having great matches against the likes of AJ Styles and Kurt Angle. In fact, many would have preferred to have Gable be revealed as the illegitimate son of Angle rather than his American Alpha teammate Jason Jordan.

A rift between the two could also include the returning Jason Jordan and we could have the long-awaited reunion of the former NXT Tag team champions in the form of a new and improved American Alpha.

#3- The Bludgeon Brothers

Luke Harper suffered a knee injury on a dark match at Raw and underwent surgery. His Bludgeon brother Eric Rowan has returned and allied himself with the Planet Champion Daniel Bryan.

Harper is in recovery and could return after WrestleMania 35. That would make the dynamic interesting as Rowan would have to choose between his Wyatt family brethren or his intellectual partner, if Luke Harper refuses to join Bryan's cause.

The break up of the former Smackdown tag team champions could result in a series of matches between Eric Rowan and Luke Harper. The fans could finally rally behind the underrated and underappreciated Harper. We saw glimpses of a push when he became the Intercontinental champion in 2014-2015 and in his number one contender's matches against AJ Styles.

This breakup could create individual superstars without ruining the possibility of a reunion!

#2- The Bar

No one would have thought that the makeshift team of Sheamus and Cesaro would last this long!

Fighting in a best of seven series against each other on the suggestion of the then Raw GM Mick Foley, weirdly they transitioned into a tag team and have achieved quite the success!

They have won five combined tag team titles, four on Raw and one on Smackdown.

Sheamus has reached his peak as a singles wrestler, winning the WWE Championship, the Money in the Bank briefcase and the Royal Rumble match, but Cesaro has barely had any glory as a singles star.

The former Claudio Castagnoli often frequents the most underrated performer list and his potential is no secret. Having great performances throughout his career, boasting of an unmatched unique athletic prowess.

It is high time that the Bar is broken and Cesaro could find success as a singles star, just as he deserves!

#1- The New Day!

The New day, yes it is!
The New day, yes it is!

The New Day has been one of the better bits of a WWE programming, playing their roles with honesty and dedication. But they have been together for almost five years now, first teaming up on the 21st of July, 2014!

Whether they were the heels or on the good side, the crowd has always loved the faction, with their merch often being the bestsellers. But with the recent developments of Kofi Kingston into the WWE title picture could create rifts between the priests of the power of positivity.

Maybe jealousy could takeover because of Kofi's success, maybe Kofi gets arrogant like never before, the possibilities are endless.

If Kofi defeats Bryan at Mania and wins the WWE Championship, the dynamics could get even more interesting. A triple threat match between the equally talented superstars of the New Day could make for a memorable moment.


So that's it for the list,
