Former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are the reigning Women’s Tag Team Champs and are at the peak of their game. However, we have recently seen seeds being planted which may eventually lead to their breakup in the future.
Although both women are great on television and look like they are best friends, a recent report has revealed that Jade and Bianca Belair didn't get along well behind the scenes. Former WWE commentator Jonathan Coachman revealed the details on the Coach and Bro Show on Backstage Pass.
The veteran revealed that Bianca had already been in the main event picture and had to carry Jade Cargill during their stint as a tag team, which is the primary reason behind the tensions between them. In this article, let’s take a look at four WWE tag teams that didn’t like each other in real life.
#4. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill
Let’s kick off the list with the most recent tag team that has been in the limelight recently for having issues in real life. Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair have been absolute fan favorites and, at Crown Jewel 2024, successfully defended their title in a Fatal Four-Way Women's Tag Match.

Despite being liked by fans and management, both women reportedly didn’t get along in real life, as veteran commentator Jonathan Coachman revealed while speaking on the Coach and Bro Show on Backstage Pass. He said both women are beautiful and talented. Still, Belair has had to carry Jade as she possesses more experience, which is the main reason behind the frustration of The EST of WWE.
"I've also heard that her [Jade Cargill] and Bianca Belair do not get along at all. It's from reliable sources. They don't get along. Now you got two spectacular-looking women in Bianca and Jade. You can't look any better than they do. But Bianca's already been in the main event. So you're asking her to give somebody the rub. Of course, she's gonna be pissed off. She makes her own gear, and Jade doesn't make her own gear. Do you see how that could lead to something?" Jonathan Coachman said. [H/T Sportskeeda Wrestling]
#3. Legendary Tag Team The Dudley Boyz
The Dudley Boyz have had an incredible career. They are widely considered to be one of the tag teams that inspired the new generation to pursue tag team wrestling. They have had multiple five-star classic matches against The Hardy Boyz, Edge and Christian, and more. Despite having a great run together, according to former WWE Superstar Rene Dupree, the 10-time Tag Team Champions don’t like each other in real life.
While speaking on his Cafe De Rene podcast, Dupree revealed that Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley didn’t get along well in real life. They didn’t travel together either. He claimed it was all business for the kayfabe brothers, and Rene also shared a story where he witnessed them having some kind of beef.
"D-Von really doesn't like [Bubba Ray]. They didn't travel together. They didn't like each other. I remember being in All Japan going to Tokyo Dome (...) they were there from New Japan and we're asking Bubba, 'where is D-Von?' and he's like, 'I don't f**king know.' Like they didn't like each other. It was just for business," he said. [2:16 - 2:33]
#2. The Mega Powers
The legendary tag team The Mega Powers consisted of two of the biggest superstars in the '80s and '90s: Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. Both megastars had a tag team run together from 1987 to 1989, and Savage’s real-life wife, Miss Elizabeth, managed them.
However, Randy Savage hated working with Hulk Hogan and even blamed the Hulkster and Linda Hogan for his real-life divorce from his wife, Miss Elizabeth. Macho Man felt like Hogan always tried to push him down, which created a clash between them.
The late superstar even wrote a diss track about Hulk Hogan titled “Be a Man, Hulk.” However, the Hulkster revealed in an interview with WWE that they settled their differences before Randy passed away in 2010 and became friends.
#1. The British Bulldogs
The Hart Family is one of the most respected and well-known professional wrestling families. It is known for its fantastic performances and brotherhood. However, two major stars from the family had hostility despite being among the popular tag teams in WWE.
The tag team in question is The British Bulldogs, the team of the late Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid. Even though Davey Boy and Dynamite Kid were cousins, they still had animosity behind the scenes.
Dynamite Kid allegedly felt overshadowed after Davey Boy Smith gained massive popularity during his peak. Both men also had starkly different personalities, which resulted in them not getting along.
