It's been almost six months since Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano reunited as #DIY, but the previously successful team has suffered some important losses and hasn't had a significant track record in terms of big wins. . Last night on WWE Raw, their latest disappointment came at the hands of Awesome Truth, who had the World Tag Team Championship on the line. In an exclusive online interview after the show, Ciampa expressed his displeasure and walked away, leaving Gargano behind, apologizing to his partner and finishing the corner alone.

After losing to R-Truth and The Miz on Raw, Gargano shook hands with both men, but Ciampa declined and walked to the back on his own. Ciampa and Gargano have broken up and feuded in the past, so this grievance is nothing new for the tag team. However, their current situation as a team is not very advanced, so unless plans change drastically behind the scenes, it is too early to disband.
Gargano and Ciampa aren't completely without wins, including defeating the Creed Brothers and The New Day to become number one contenders on the April 15 episode of “Raw.” However, expectations are high for the former WWE NXT Tag Team Champions, and #DIY have yet to win a title or even a standard tag team match at a premium live event.

The annual WWE Draft is scheduled to begin later this week. In addition to serving as a roster update, the draft often serves as an opportunity for a fresh start for WWE's on-screen characters. As Ciampa's dissatisfaction boils over on TV, #DIY is at a tipping point and the duo may see the draft as an opportunity for a fresh start.
