By Robert Palmer

Paul London and Brian Kendrick were a tag team in WWE that made a significant impact on the wrestling scene. They were known for their high-flying moves, innovative tag team maneuvers, and unique style that set them apart from other tag teams in the industry. However, their journey in WWE didn’t last as long as many fans expected.

After winning the WWE Tag Team Championship twice, Paul London and Brian Kendrick parted ways in 2008. While Kendrick went on to become a singles wrestler, London’s career took a different turn.

In 2010, Paul London made headlines after he was released by WWE. This came as a surprise to many fans who believed that he still had a lot to offer to the company.

However, rumors started circulating that his release was due to his behavior backstage. Some reports claimed that he was difficult to work with and had attitude problems.

Despite his departure from WWE, Paul London continued to wrestle in different promotions around the world. He even won the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship in 2011 and competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling for a brief period.

Brian Kendrick’s journey after parting ways with Paul London was quite different. He went on to become a singles wrestler and had several memorable feuds with top stars like Jeff Hardy, John Cena, and CM Punk. He even won the WWE Tag Team Championship again with another partner – Evan Bourne.

However, Kendrick’s career also hit a roadblock when he was released from WWE in 2009 due to issues with substance abuse. He struggled with addiction for several years before making a comeback in 2016 as part of the Cruiserweight Classic tournament. His performance in the tournament earned him a contract with WWE’s cruiserweight division.

Today, both Paul London and Brian Kendrick are still active wrestlers but are no longer part of WWE. They continue to make appearances on independent shows and are respected veterans of the industry.

In conclusion, the careers of Paul London and Brian Kendrick took different paths after they parted ways in WWE. While Kendrick went on to become a successful singles wrestler, London’s career hit a roadblock due to his behavior backstage. However, both wrestlers continue to be respected figures in the wrestling industry and have left a lasting impact on fans around the world.
