Waller and Theory have been a successful tag team on SmackDown. In their stint together, they have even managed to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship as well. However, WWE fans have been clamoring to see a babyface run of Theory for a long time. Therefore, there were some rumors that WWE would break up this tag team to focus on the former US Champion’s singles career.
