5 WWE teams that could split up in the upcoming draft

#4 Heavy Machinery

If history is any indication, whenever a tag team Superstar gets good audience reactions on a regular basis, chances are that they are destined to be separated from their partner in the following draft. Otis from Heavy Machinery has consistently been one of the most beloved and popular Superstars on the Blue Brand. Tucker, not so much.

To cash in on his popularity, the company might just separate the two and push Otis as a singles star. Hopefully, this doesn't happen and the duo stays on one brand for at least another year. This would give Tucker enough time to get himself over and Otis enough time to develop his already popular character.

#3 Asuka and Kairi Sane

Asuka was the SmackDown Live Women's Champion earlier this year, but lost the title to Charlotte Flair mere days before WrestleMania 35. She soon formed a tag team with Kairi Sane that was managed by Paige. A tag team title victory was teased, but it never came to fruition and the team has done nothing noteworthy on the main roster.

Here's hoping WWE separates these two in order to give Asuka another shot at being a legit singles athlete. With WrestleMania 36 having a pirate theme, they should also build Sane as a singles star and feature her at the event, which is obviously much preferred to being relegated to the pre-show. Asuka, on the other hand, could use a move to RAW and have a lengthy feud against someone like Becky Lynch.

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.
