5 greatest tag team implosions in WWE history
WWE tends to create duos only to break them up. Their tag team division has long remained underappreciated unless the company sees something in one of the performers.
Sometimes these units are put together for the sole purpose of leading to a massive showdown between the former partners. Other times, fans genuinely get back an unlikely pair, leading to success and making the eventual split much more impactful as a result.

The Mega Powers imploding was the first time WWE really took a long-form story and paid it off at WrestleMania. The company put together its two biggest fan favorites in Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage to create The Mega Powers.
Hogan was directly involved in Savage's coronation as WWE Champion at WrestleMania 4. The two men then teamed up together in several high-profile contests over the next few months before jealousy emerged. Macho Man was envious of the Hulkster's relationship with Miss Elizabeth, which eventually led to the implosion of the Mega Powers.
After Savage betrayed Hogan, the two superstars met in the main event of WrestleMania 5. Miss Elizabeth was placed in the middle, creating even more drama. Hulk Hogan defeated Macho Man to regain the WWE Title, and their rivalry continued for months later. This implosion felt like a satisfying and memorable payoff for all.
