Elias and Jaxson Ryker's partnership ended during a high-stakes match on this week's WWE RAW. AJ Styles and Omos put their RAW tag team titles on the line against Elias and Ryker, but the challengers didn't seem to be on the same page heading into the bout.

Towards the end of the match, Elias left his partner high and dry, as Ryker couldn't handle Styles and Omos all by himself. While the champions retained their titles on RAW, the main focus shifted towards Elias betraying Ryker.

Later backstage, The Drifter claimed that Ryker was unhinged. Since WWE will resume live touring from July onwards, Elias didn't want to be stuck in a car with him while being on the road.

Breaking up tag teams fits in with WWE's recent booking trends. Elias and Jaxson Ryker's partnership wasn't the most integral part of RAW, but they still operated within a deficient tag team division.

After this week's WWE RAW, the former duo will likely engage in a feud against each other. Now whether or not this split eventually leads to significant solo careers for either Elias or Jaxson Ryker remains to be seen.
