5 WWE teams in danger of being split up in the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up

#3 Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura

Let’s face it, Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura are not a genuine tag team. They formed an unusual alliance in January 2019 for the simple reason that they both lost United States Championship matches against R-Truth.

The ‘Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend’ tag team formation is good in theory, but the rivalry with Truth only lasted for one week, so why are the two former US champions still teaming up 10 weeks later?

As a singles competitor, Rusev is fantastic. As a singles competitor, Nakamura is fantastic. As a tag team, they won their first match against The Club in early February but they have since gone on to lose seven matches in a row. Now if that is not reason enough to part ways, what is?

Both men desperately need to revitalise their careers – especially Rusev, who has lost a record number of PPV matches in a row (18) – so the future should look brighter for them if they are broken up in the Superstar Shake-Up.
