9 WWE tag teams and factions we hope don't split this year

WWE is filled with some of the finest tag teams in the world. Tag team wrestling has been an art only a few have been able to perfect, and those who have been able to get the chemistry right have decided to stick together for a very long time.

The Usos and The Viking Raiders are clear examples of tag teams that may remain together until they retire as the men may find it difficult to function individually as they do together. On the other hand, WWE has managed to throw together two or more completely unique Superstars to create a tag team or faction no one expected to work as well together.

With some many opportunities up for grabs in the company, the Creative decides to bring certain tag teams to an end in order to create singles stars.

While the company only wants what’s best for the product they’re selling, we will look at the 9 tag teams and factions that we hope aren’t broken up by the company this year.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#9 The Street Profits

The Street Profilts made their debut in NXT in March 2016. Ever since, the team of Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford has worked hard to climb the ladder and became one of NXT’s most entertaining tag teams last year.

On Paul Heyman's demands, the duo was brought to RAW where they are now the RAW Tag Team Champions. The two men are highly entertaining and are two of the most athletic men in the entire WWE locker room.

While both men have shown that they are gold standard, Ford has shown out a bit more thanks to his work on the mic and in the ring. A singles match against Seth Rollins showed his true potential as a singles Superstar to the WWE Universe.

The two men are doing a great job together, but the Creative may feel like pushing one man ahead of the other. Even though that could turn out to be a good idea, WWE must keep the two men together for some time longer.

#8 The IIconics

Billie Kay and Peyton Royce battled together in NXT as a tag team in 2015, and they have been together ever since under different gimmicks. As The IIconics, the duo has done some great work in NXT, RAW and SmackDown, while remaining good friends behind the scenes.

The team had their 'WrestleMania Moment' at WrestleMania 35, where they defeated then-WWE Women's Champions Bayley and Sasha Banks, and two other teams to win their first titles in WWE.

While they didn't have a great reign and have remained off television for extended periods, they are among the teams the fans love to support and hope to see more often.

WWE may see a star in one of the two women and decide to split them up or have them move to separate brands, but it would be better if they bring them to prominence as a tag team again and give them a better run.

We know that The IIconics can do much better if given a chance, and we hope that the company doesn't split them anytime soon.

#7 The Forgotten Sons

Will The Forgotten Sons get a push on SmackDown this year?

The Forgotten Sons are one of the newest teams on SmackDown, even though they’ve been around for some time now. Comprising of Steve Cutler, Jaxson Ryker, and Wesley Blake, we’ve seen the three men rip through some of the best tag teams in the company, but they haven’t won any gold yet.

The team has been around since 2016, and even though their leader Ryker has gotten a few opportunities along the way, they haven’t been as successful while competing together on NXT.

Even though Cutler and Blake are great in the ring, there is a chance that the company may decide to split them up and give Ryker a solo run. While that is a major possibility, we hope that the company won’t split the team up just yet and give them a fair chance on the main roster to go for a title run.

Hopefully, the move to SmackDown will do some wonders for them and bring them back up and in contention for the tag team titles.

#6 The Broserweights

One of the most bizarre and randomly thrown together tag teams in WWE today is the one consisting of Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle. Known as The Broserweights, the NXT Universe would never have imagined seeing the two Superstars perform side by side week after week until it actually happened.

Dunne is a former NXT United Kingdom Champion, while Riddle has had a brilliant run ever since debuting at NXT. While looking for a way to keep the two relevant on NXT, they were paired together for the Dusty Rhodes Classic which they ended up winning to everyone's surprise.

The two men work extremely well together, and their different fighting style has helped them pull off some of the best team moves and finishers in the industry.

The Broserweights are now the NXT Tag Team Champions and are looking to take over the NXT brand before moving on. Even though fans would love to see both men aim for the two singles titles on NXT, WWE should keep the two men together for some time as they have been doing great together.

While the two will eventually have to split, they must be kept together for the next seven or eight months before they head their separate ways.

#5 Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross

When Nikki Cross met Alexa Bliss in a backstage segment sometime in May 2019, things began to change for the previously unstable Superstar.

The two started to bond and soon Bliss became Cross’ best friend and while it was expected to be a short-term storyline that would see Bliss turn heel again, it did not happen. Instead, the two went on to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in August 2019. This also marked Cross’ first Championship reign of her WWE career.

The two have become crowd favorites ever since, and Cross has also joined Bliss on her talk show, A Moment of Bliss. The duo recently won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships once again, and are enjoying their second reign together.

While the team seemed like a short term prospect at first, it now feels like they work great together. WWE should keep them together for much longer to build an even bigger storyline before they decide to split them up and have a rivalry between them.

#4 Imperium

In case you are unfamiliar with Imperium, you’ve been missing out on one of the best factions in WWE right now. Part of NXT UK, the team of WALTER, Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner, and Alexander Wolfe are doing a great job.

The faction debuted less than a year ago and has been one of the most dominant teams in all of WWE. At Worlds Collide this year, they managed to defeat The Undisputed Era in a clash to remember.

Imperium’s leader WALTER is the current NXT UK Champion and has put up some remarkable performances since winning the title. Apart from his, the other three members have shown that they are great as a team, and it is only a matter of time before they win the NXT UK Tag Team Championships.

With so much potential in one team, WWE must resist the urge to break the faction anytime soon.

At present, it feels like no one can match the dominance of WALTER and we could walk into the next year with the faction holding all of NXT UK’s men’s titles until one of them decides to go after WALTER and his Championship.

#3 The New Day

Active since July 2014, we’ve been seeing the trio of Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, and Big E for almost six years now! That’s a long time for any team comprising of more than two members in WWE. Along the way, we’ve seen The New Day break multiple records. Two weeks ago, they won their eighth Tag Team Championship in WWE.

Not only that, but we had also seen the team’s most accomplished member, Kofi Kingston, win his first World title in the company last year.

While the trio has achieved a lot together, fans have been patiently waiting for the company to turn one member of the squad and break the team up. There have been several instances where a turn has been teased, but we haven’t seen it happen yet.

With more and more people calling for Big E to break out as a single star, this could be the time that WWE could decide to break the faction up and give all three men their singles runs to see what they can do now individually.

However, it would be better if the company does not break the team up soon and keeps them together for the sake of popularity, moving merchandise, and the happiness of the fans.

The New Day is a team popular with the young and the old, and keeping them together for more title runs could be the best for business for the next couple of years.

#2 The Miz & John Morrison

The Miz and John Morrison should stick together for some time

This may be an unpopular opinion, but there is a big reason why The Miz and John Morrison must not break up just yet.

After Morrison arrived in WWE this year, he quickly teamed up with The Miz and the duo won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. This helped Miz get out of his negative bookings, and allowed Morrison to make an immediate impact after returning to the company.

Both men did a good job of retaining the titles for a while, and Morrison single-handedly retained for the team at WrestleMania 36. However, The Miz lost the titles for the team to The New Day’s Big E, and we could see some cracks appear in the team sooner than later.

While it may seem tempting to break the two soon and turn Morrison face, it would be better to keep the team together at least till the end of the year.

The reason is that WWE is short of some traditional tag teams, with some getting released by the company recently. RAW, in particular, needs a couple of more tag teams to push up the tag team division. Moving the duo to the Red brand and having them go after the RAW Tag Team titles could be good for business.

Therefore, WWE should hold back for now and not split the team of Miz and Morrison just yet. Maybe, they can go ahead and plan something bigger for the duo at WrestleMania next year and have them compete against each other then.

#1 The Undisputed Era

The Undisputed Era has been unstoppable!

Arguably the finest faction in WWE today, and one of the best we’ve ever seen, The Undisputed Era has taken the company by storm over the past couple of years.

Made up of four extremely talented Superstars, namely Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly, and Bobby Fish, the faction has been NXT’s must-watch act for some time now.

The team has three NXT Tag Team Championship reigns to their name along with two NXT North American Championship reigns, and one NXT Championship reign.

Even though many fans have been expecting one of the four members to turn on their partners sooner than later, we’ve seen them stick together and help each other achieve new milestones on the Black & Gold brand for almost three years now.

Even though they’ve achieved everything possible in NXT, it will be harsh if WWE breaks up the faction already, especially before moving them from NXT to another brand. The faction is ready to take over RAW or SmackDown if the company wants them to move, and they should stick together for at least another year, if not more, to make a bigger impact in WWE before they decide to split.
