WWE has featured some unlikely tag teams and factions, and aligned some of the most unlikely names with each other over the years. However, most of them have managed to end up being quite popular and have seen success from their time together. From the unlikely duo of Sheamus and Cesaro to The Judgment Day lately, the company has managed to build some unlikely factions that have proved to be incredible units.
However, this hasn’t been the case for every tag team formed over the years. Some of them didn’t work well and were disbanded immediately, while some failed because the stars never really got along with each other. There have been numerous instances where the company aligned multiple stars with each other, but they didn’t like each other in real life, which led to the storyline completely failing.
Let’s check out a few instances where the stablemates didn’t like each other in real life.
#3. The League of Nations
The League of Nations was one of the most popular groups back in the day, featuring Sheamus, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio, and Wade Barrett. The faction was formed in late 2015 and was portrayed as one of the most dominant groups of heels at that point in time. The faction managed to garner a lot of attention with their incredible performances.
However, the stablemates didn’t really like each other behind the scenes. Alberto Del Rio called the group a ‘waste of time’ after the group was disbanded, which ended up putting heat on him. The veteran himself confirmed that a fight broke out between the members backstage at WrestleMania 32, which was followed by WWE disbanding the group.
#2. Rick Rude and Shawn Michaels as part of DX
Rick Rude was briefly part of the original D-Generation X, alongside Triple H, Chyna, and Shawn Michaels back in 1997. Rude managed to add some appeal to the faction and further helped them usher in their dominance on the RAW roster. However, Rude and WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels reportedly didn’t get along backstage.
Rude seemingly didn’t like how WWE was run, and his issues with Shawn Michaels escalated following his run with the faction, which further led to him appearing in WWE as well as Nitro on the same night, causing huge controversy at the time. The star was also in protest about the Montreal Screwjob, which led to the massive controversy.
#1. Former WWE Women's Champion Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill
Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Naomi briefly formed a trio in 2024 and garnered a lot of attention instantly. The faction was featured as a part of some massive matches and moments, and managed to make the WWE Universe sit up and take notice with their performances. However, two members of the fashion - Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill - allegedly didn’t get along with each other.
Reports suggested that both women had tensions with each other behind the scenes, which led to WWE eventually disbanding the team and going on to an entirely new story out of it. While both Belair and Cargill are still sometimes showcased together on TV, their alleged backstage issues could rise again in the future.
Fans will have to wait and see if the stars themselves ever address the alleged real-life heat between both women.
