WWE planning on breaking up another tag team

[gl83]

-WWE is looking to split up another tag team and it looks like it will be happening very soon. One of the things that hasn't changed in WWE is the frequent split of teams. On SmackDown, they are teasing that Drew McIntyre and Sheamus will start feuding again and the same thing is happening in NXT.

WWE is planning to split up Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley with the idea that both are slated to be singles stars once again.

For the last few weeks, WWE has been planning the seeds that a split may be coming, which is the plan.

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that “Right now, the plan is for Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley to break up as it has been teased on NXT.”

It’s unclear what WWE has in store for them exactly, but it’s looking like a heel turn is coming for Paxley, as she was initially put with Nile to improve in the ring and has done just that.

Their last televised tag team match happened on the January 24th edition of NXT, where they lost to NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Fallon Henley and Kiana James. They first started teaming together last February on an episode of NXT Level Up, with a win over Henley and James.

As previously noted, it appears that WWE is splitting up Drew McIntyre and Sheamus following a segment on Friday Night SmackDown.

I’ll be honest. I’m glad to see the Sheamus/McIntyre team go.

I feel like Drew has dragged Sheamus’ momentum

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

It's fine if Ridge/Butch actually get a push again like they were over the summer. They've been relegated to basically being NPCs and it's sad.

I mean if it means Ivy gets a push as s singles star, ok then I guess.

Plus it kind of hurt Ridge and Butch.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I mean... Sheamus and Drew were clearly a short term team.

Oh 100%

The group was really going well and doing more stuff together. Then Drew shows up and he’s like “Hey guys! Banger after banger! Right? I can say it too!” And immediately Sheamus is a tag team guy and Butch and Ridge fall into the no man’s land

I have no idea what the company thinks of her. It's weird. She's still presented as a badass but she used to be very protected but now she takes pins and really isn't given big time opportunities for longer matches on TV like other women are. 

[A Little Doo Doo]

I love their matches together, but I don't really want to see another Drew vs. Sheamus feud for a little while.

For real, if you don't want to have any women's tag teams then get rid of the damn belts.

Like...what tag teams are left in NXT....You got only got Katana/Kayden(who are due a callup); Toxic Attraction have broken up; and who knows if Fallon/Kiana are going to stick together. That only leaves:


-Valentina/Yulisa(Yulisa is still out with a Torn ACL)
-Isla Dawn/Alba Fyre

Ivy is fun to watch in the ring, has a cool bad ass look to her, and the fans seem to like her. However she's pretty dreadful on the mic and has a voice that doesn't match her appearance and takes away from her her imposing look. If I had to guess that's the reason why she's gone from someone who was undefeated and very protected for quite some time to now being someone who eats pins on a fairly regular basis.

I think Tatum has potential but she has no character. Really all that's known about her is that she's friends with Ivy and is part of Diamond Mine...kind of. Putting her with the Witches is probably a good for getting something out of her in that department since it would be so drastic but at the same time she would likely be the third wheel in that group so I don't really know how much that would help her in the long run. Although I guess they might be dropping that angle as there was no mention of it last week as it now looks like they are going to have Isla and Alba feud with Kacy and Katana instead.

[Chiral]

The definition of friendship in WWE still seems to be "person who will betray you eventually or who you will betray"

[BlackoutCreature]

Ivy has a cool look, but honestly she just has a "not ready for primetime" feel to her in general. I'm not completely sold that she was ready to start appearing on television or working regular matches when she did. In terms of in-ring skill Paxley seems further along then Ivy does and is advancing quicker as well, although she also has her own issues. As others have said, she doesn't much in the way of a developed personality.

As for Sheamus and Drew, as others have said they were clearly not put together with the intent of being a team long term. I think they've pretty much gotten what they could out of them as a unit.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I do kinda hope Drew and Sheamus split off rather amicably rather than suddenly hating each other.

I don't see it happening but it'd be nice.

I'm okay with them breaking up also. I wouldn't mind if Drew turned heel as I feel like there's not much else for him to do as a face after losing to Roman last year at CATC.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Not surprised at them breaking up Ivy and Tatum, with Isla and Alba going after Tatum recently. And there's a legit reason for Tatum to be pissed at Ivy. She still hasn't been welcomed into Diamond Mine, jerk move by Diamond Mine.

[cornettesracket]

Not that annoyed about those two tag teams being split up. Drew and Sheamus are great in small doses but both guys are better off separate. And the NXT tag team has achieved its purpose from that report, so it’s good to end it now.

And they've both been a massive albatross on Pete Dunne. Making him the Scrappy-Doo to Sheamus' Scooby makes me sad.
