So has there been any teams that have broken up and not turned on each other? It seems that every time a team has broken up, one of the members has turned heel/babyface, and feuds with the other. Has there every been a case that a team broke up but hadn't feuded with each other?
Granted I know it gives the promotion a few weeks/months a easy feud, but maybe if a team breaks up, they could still could get along, that they go on to do on their own thing, while still watching each other back. If it's a babyface team that "breaks up", team member one goes on to face a heel, and a heel gets some help to beat down member one, but low and behold, team member comes down to help out his "former teammate".

Powers of Pain comes to mind. I don't know if their last match together was significant, but they weren't going anywhere and they got makeovers and new managers all of a sudden.

I have the storyline in my collection. Just before Mania 6 Fuji brings in The Orient Express. Within 2 weeks they show two of those old WWF news updates and Fuji sold Barbarians contract to Heenan then sold Warlords to Slick, and that was it.

If you mean teams that split up so one can have a solo push than there a many. If you mean teams that had a public break that didn't end up feuding with each other than I don't know any. The point of spliting a tag team is to give one or both of the members a solo push. This can be accomplished by a violent split in which one partner is put over to prove to the fans that they were the talented one. It can be accomplished by simply splitting the team and having the workers move on. It don't think it could work to split a team and the have a former run in and do a save because it would lead to people thinking that the solo push was not warrented. Better to split them up and let the partners move on I say.

Hitman and Anvil didn't feud after the Hart Foundation broke up. Sure, the split wasn't clean because the solo push for Bret got postponed once or twice, but the two didn't come into conflict until Jim was re-hired and sided with Owen in 1994.
Demolition (Smash and Crush) was repackaged as Repo Man and Hawai'ian Crush.
So I echo the refrain of a previous poster: tag teams that broke up, or tag teams that were broken up by the company?

I don't think Rated RKO feuded. Edge split for Smackdown and Orton stayed on Raw. I don't remember a feud-maybe one match.

Can-Am connection with Rick Martel and Tom Zenk although Tito Santana basically replaced Zenk since he had nothing better to do when Zenk left to go back to AWA.

I honestly don't remember the Young Stallions getting hostile with each other at the time the team dissolved in 1989, but others have claimed it happened. Roma didn't become a heel until about a year later.

Didn't Booker and Goldust part amicably?

Yes, after their final tag match, they hugged and everything.
Then, Evolution electrocuted Goldust and he started the stuttering gimmick.

They had one or two matches, and were shown to be pissed with each other, but I think one of them got injured or something or drafted before the feud went anywhere. What about the Dudley Boyz during the draft split?

Ron Simmons and Bradshaw, at least in terms of a feud.

Harlem Heat's 1st breakup, when Stevie Ray joined the nWo. IIRC, they continued to watch each other's back for a while.

Fuji really should've just stuck with Warlord and Barbarian, lol! But I miss managers buying and selling contracts to other managers. But to answer the thread. I don't recall the Godwins having a falling out....or Techno Team 2000.
