The Prime Time Players had it all when it came to a tag team. They were funny, charismatic
and most certainly entertaining... You could say they looked a million dollars!
But a cheap heel turn from Titus on his partner Darren Young put an end to the Prime Time Players
due to Titus O’Neil being fed up of losing… The same guy who went on a losing streak soon
after and then formed a new tag team with Heath Slater known as Slater-Gator…
But for Darren Young, a torn ACL in his left knee
would put him out of action for 10 months. Although the Prime Time Players reunited a
year later, even winning the tag team championships, they quickly disbanded for a second time following
Titus’ suspension for grabbing Vince McMahon. As for Darren Young, he had the whole “Make
Darren Young Great Again” gimmick with his life coach Bob Backlund which did make for
some great entertainment…
But a second injury would lead to his eventual release from the company.
As a tag team, Enzo and Cass oozed charisma and were hugely popular with the fans. Enzo
possessed the gift of the gab..
and Big Cass… Well, he was just 7ft tall!
And you can’t teach that!
Many people believed that Enzo and Cass were the next big tag team in the
WWE and they were certainly on track to do just that but WWE’s decision to split them
up would lead to their downfall. Enzo was attacked by a mysterious attacker who turned
out to be Enzo’s own tag team partner Big Cass…
Not long into his singles run, Big
Cass would suffer a torn ACL putting him out of action for 8 months. He never quite recovered
after that, losing matches to Daniel Bryan on his return to then being released out of
the blue due to behavioural issues.
The 2020 WWE draft saw the shocking break up of The IIconics…
Peyton Royce stayed
on Raw whereas Billie Kay was drafted to SmackDown. Prior to their breakup, it was said that Vince
McMahon was “very high” on Peyton Royce and saw her as a future singles star. Billie
Kay on the other hand was just left out dry resorting to job hunting…
The IIconics splitting up just made absolutely no sense especially due to the fact that Peyton
Royce was placed in a new tag team with Lacey Evans…
It was the superkick that essentially destroyed Marty Jannetty’s career… During the late
80s/early 90s, Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels took the tag team division by storm with their
impressive athleticism and acrobatic moves in tandem. Going by the name The Rockers...
The duo routinely headlined house shows but despite their overwhelming popularity, the
WWE decided to split the group up as they saw a big singles career in Shawn Michaels.
Cue the barbershop segment…
Michaels went on to become one of the biggest superstars
in the history of the company but as for Jannetty, his career fell apart. Personal issues inside
and outside of wrestling led him to getting released just over a year following the famous
barbershop segment.
The ever-growing popularity of Otis was always going to have a negative effect on Tucker
and their tag team Heavy Machinery. Whether it was Otis’ belly...
His romance with Mandy Rose,
or just his personality in general…
The spotlight was always on Otis... When Tucker
did eventually betray Otis by hitting him with his Money in the Bank briefcase, nothing
really came out it as they were on separate brands. Tucker just simply moved on and then
proceeded to get buried in about 30 seconds by Ricochet, a guy who is currently being
buried by the WWE right now… Yikes! And now, he’s resorted to chasing the 24/7 championship.
