They both go their seperate ways (AJ as the WWE Champion and Jericho being KO's best friend) and then in the build to Survivor Series they act out of spite at one another like bitter exes. AJ continues his reign as champ then Jericho wins the Rumble and we have a best friend/bitter rival feud for the next Mania.

It's even more maddening that the majority of these teams are from the last 10 years, and that goes to show that at least prior to that, WWE and Vince had a better grasp of how to do tag teams at one point. How they have handled teams recently is just bonkers and a testament to Vince's inability to understand the division in the modern age. This is only one of several reasons why tons of fans have migrated over to AEW and other promotions, because fans are genuinely tired of the crap being pumped out by Vince these days. Personally, I just feel properly insulted watching WWE right now. Do they really think we don't pay attention and remember stuff? Their storytelling, in particularly, is just some of the worst.

WWE legitimately does not know how to use tag teams. It makes so much sense that great tag teams like The Young Bucks or SCU (rip) never went there; WWE would probably try to split them within their first few months. It's a god damned travesty, considering they've had so many great ones in the past and now regularly break up ones that would be great if they lasted more than six months. Teams like The New Day are lucky, and even they're at risk because WWE took Big E out instead of doing the smart thing and have Xavier and Kofi supporting him on the same brand. It would be even better now with E's feud with Crews, considering they gave him backup. And I'm still pissed about Sarah Logan getting the short stick consistently with the Riott Squad and them breaking up The IIconics. WWE doesn't deserve women's tag teams, especially since now almost the entire tag division is just paired singles stars.
