#3 Worked Out: Edge and Christian
The duo of Edge and Christian was another spectacular tag team in the early 2000s. Both Superstars were best friends who arrived in the business together. They took the tag team division to extreme levels while competing against other tag teams. They also become seven-time WWE tag team champions. Finally, WWE decided to break-up the duo as singles stars.
It was Christian who turned heel and attacked his best friend Edge on Raw is War in 2001. This turn resulted in Edge's career turning into a huge success, as he went on to become eleven-time World Champion. He retired on the Raw after WrestleMania 27. Christian didn't achieve similar success, but still ended up becoming a two-time World Champion.
#2 Didn't Work Out: Enzo Amore and Big Cass
Enzo Amore and Big Cass were expected to be the top tag team in the division, when they arrived on the main roster. The duo achieved immense popularity during their time in NXT. Unfortunately, after debuting on the main roster, they were heavily misused. Vince McMahon later decided to split the duo in a backstage angle in 2017.
While Amore was sent to the Cruiserweight division and became the Cruiserweight champion, he was released in 2018 following serious allegations against him, that ended up proving false. As for Cass, he injured his knee which kept him off for nine months. When he returned from injury, he lost a feud against Daniel Bryan and was later released for inappropriate behavior.
#1 Worked Out: The Rockers
The Rockers was one of the most loved tag teams of the late-80s. The company saw stardom in Shawn Michaels and decided to split the duo. During the barbershop segment in 1992, Michaels hit Marty Jannetty with a super-kick and put him through a window, initiating a singles career going forward.
While it didn't work out for Jannetty, since his career fell apart after the split, it gave the fans one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, Shawn Michaels. While there were many plans to reform them, none of those were ever implemented. This separation gave Michaels huge success as a singles star, so it can be surmised that this split actually worked out, at least for one half of the tag team.
