As we reported earlier, Alberto Del Rio said in a recent interview that the League of Nations was not meant to be a long-term thing past WrestleMania 32. The League of Nations was suppose to take on the Wyatt Family but that was scrapped due to the injury to Bray Wyatt. It appears on the most recent episode of Smackdown that taped on Tuesday and will air on Thursday (in the U.S) that the League of Nations has officially broken up. In a 6 man tag match against Cesaro, Sami Zayn and Kalisto, Rusev and Alberto Del Rio end up walking out on Sheamus.. This looks like the official break up of the stable.
Here is the report from people in attendance of Smackdown:

Not sure what is next for the members of the faction. I could see the WWE doing a triple threat match between the three of them for next months Extreme Rules PPV.
Let us know your thoughts on this and if you are happy they are splitting up.
I thought they were a good faction. But it is nice to know Rusev will be in singles action again. I think all 3 guys will remain important as they are all big athletic guys. Im sure 1 of the 3 will eventually try to capture the IC belt.
