Carmella and R-Truth were split up in the 2019 WWE Draft. Carmella was selected by Smackdown in the 4th round and R-Truth was selected by RAW in the very next pick.
So why did WWE decide to split up Carmella and R-Truth?
Dave Meltzer provided the answer to that question on Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here). Here is what he said about why WWE split up Carmella & Truth (h/t to Ringside News for the quotes below):
“If you remember the WWE 24/7 Title, the original idea came from the USA Network. It was like their idea which is funny because the original idea was ‘what can we do for the third hour of Raw so they don’t tune out.’ Of course, within weeks the title had nothing to do with the third hour of Raw, but it is a USA Network idea.”
“R-Truth had to stay there [on Raw], but because Corey Graves got moved to SmackDown, Carmella had to go there, so if you’re wondering why they were broken up, that’s the reason.”
