Top 10 Tag Team Betrayals in the WWE

The iconic betrayal

#10 Shawn Michaels betrays Michael Jannetty

That fateful kick that led to one of the greatest in-ring careers in the WWE

This is perhaps the most iconic betrayal in this list. Shawn Michaels first came under the limelight as a tag team wrestler alongside Michael Jannetty. However, WWE soon realized the potential that Shawn had as a singles performer and decided to split the team apart. And they did it in the best possible way.

Michaels and Jannetty appeared in a scene that featured a barber shop and Jannetty was apparently asking Michaels to keep their bond strong. Michaels agreed, hugged Jannetty and then kicked him through the glass window. Simple as that, Michaels propelled his singles career whereas Jannetty failed to recover from that kick.
