5 theories on why WWE split up Bobby Roode & Chad Gable

#4 Too many Raw tag teams

The Raw roster is stacked with more tag teams than ever following the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up.

As well as Raw Tag Team champions Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins, the following duos are also on the red brand: AOP, Aleister Black & Ricochet, The B-Team, The Revival, The Viking Experience, The Fashion Police, Lucha House Party, Heath Slater & Rhyno, The Usos, The Singh Brothers and The Ascension.

Needless to say, 12 tag teams on a single weekly show is verging on absurd, and there is no way that Bobby Roode & Chad Gable would have been anywhere near the title picture in the near future after their successive defeats in title matches shortly before WrestleMania 35.

Could WWE have moved them to SmackDown Live instead? Perhaps, but that tag division is also stacked with the following seven teams: The New Day, The Bar, The Colons, The Hardy Boyz, The Club, Heavy Machinery and Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura.

With 19 main-roster duos, maybe WWE decided it was time to give other teams a chance, so that is why Roode & Gable were separated.
