Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the 2021 WWE Draft was the company deciding to split up the team of Natalya and Tamina.

The two women were not even able to see their fate decided on live TV since their moves were part of the draft that took place after RAW went off the air.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer also noted that Natalya and Tamina had no idea that they would be split as part of the draft until it was announced on RawTalk last night, which is quite harsh.

For the fans who didn't watch last night's show, Natalya was assigned to the SmackDown roster moving forward, whilst Tamina was drafted over to RAW. The two women held the Women's Tag Team Championships just a few weeks ago, and are now no longer in contention to challenge for the belts.

Tamina and Natalya are two of the longest-tenured female athletes in the company after spending more than a decade on the main roster.
