What could have been. WWE has a weird history when it comes to tag teams as it often seems that the company doesn’t like them lasting long term. Other than a handful of teams, WWE rarely has tag teams last long term. You do see them though, and it turns out that one of the most popular teams today was never meant to be around more than a little while in the first place.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE had no intention of keeping RKBro together in the long term. The original plan for the team called for them to be together for only a few weeks before Randy Orton turned on Riddle. Then WWE liked the two together and kept it going, with the team being together for a year now. The team has won the Raw Tag Team Titles twice and are set to compete in a title unification match against SmackDown Tag Team Champions the Usos at WrestleMania Backlash.

Opinion: This isn’t exactly a surprise as WWE has a long history of breaking up teams, but in this case you can see the team’s chemistry together and it would have been a bad move to split them up. RKBro has gone on to become one of the most popular things in WWE and it almost didn’t happen. It makes me wonder what else WWE could have had if they had changed course at other points in their history.

What do you think of RKBro? When will they split up? Let us know in the comments below.
