10 WWE Tag Teams Broken Up Way Too Soon

Hurri-Kane... Literally Kane's best run as a single's star... seriously.. Intercontinental and World Tag Team Champion at the same time, won a TLC match defending said Tag Team Championships by his self against Hardy/Van Dam, Jericho/Christian & Bubba/Spike... seriously, despite Katie Vick, that was probably Kane's best single's run aside from 1998 and 2010.

The Y2AJ team had a FANTASTIC match with the New Day in I believe a Raw episode in Chicago. That was the match when they broke up.
