#4. Former WWE Superstars Enzo and Cass
WWE's main roster has a bad habit of bringing up beloved tag teams and turning them on each other or running them into the ground. The night Enzo and Cass debuted on RAW was pure magic.
Fans in attendance came unglued as their music hit, and Enzo Amore came stutter-stepping out behind his gigantic friend Big Cass. Being a post-WrestleMania crowd, it was full of the most hardcore fans the company had. Thankfully, they knew every bit of the act. Those that didn't watch NXT knew exactly what to do when RAW came to their town.
Enzo and Cass were over. Genuinely over. Even when Enzo got hurt and Cass had to go solo for a bit, the man always got a great reaction because fans wanted to see these two succeed.
And a little over a year after their debut, WWE split them up. Cass attacked Enzo, and Enzo moved to 205 Live where he'd be WWE Cruiserweight Champion. It pretty much spelled the end for Cass's chances at the top, as it was a break-up that nobody wanted to see. They should've been tag team champions, but WWE never got the courage to pull the trigger.
#3. TM-61
There was a team that nearly caught the wrestling world by storm. A duo that wowed a lot of NXT fans back in 2016, Nick Milller and Shane Thorne had been working together for six years. In the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, TM-61 made it to the finals before losing to the Authors of Pain in a stellar tag team bout.
A pretty unfortunate injury took Thorne out for most of 2017. When they returned, Thorne and Miller quickly turned heel. The wild high-flying tandem that took Akam and Rezar to the limit wasn't the same team fans were seeing in 2018. They'd toned things down significantly.
By the time 2018 came and went, Nick Miller had left WWE, leaving Shane Thorne by himself. Thorne would eventually join the main roster as Slapjack for RETRIBUTION. TM-61 was a rare case where the NXT brand itself failed to capitalize on something.
It was a pretty huge misstep for the brand that, in most other cases, hit the nail on the head with its tag team division in the past seven years.
