WWE is not only about singles wrestling. But it also has a good share of tag team wrestling. Mostly, the tag division isn’t treated as the primary focus of the promotion. But at times, the side act gets pretty intriguing and tag teams take the front stage. The teams are also a great way to find the next big thing in the company.
We have seen a number of superstars that debuted as a part of a team but later became WWE or Universal Champions. Wrestlers such as Shawn Michaels, Roman Reigns and Bret Hart are a few great examples. But often, those tag matches are enough to change the focus of the audience from singles matches. Hence, let’s take a look at the best tag teams in the history of WWE that gave us numerous bangers.
The 10 best tag teams in the history of WWE
10. The Usos
The Usos are among the finest modern-day tag teams. Almost 10 years ago, the Samoan side defeated the New Age Outlaws in order to capture their first-ever WWE Tag titles. And today, several years after, they have still managed to keep themselves relevant in the business. The Usos are currently the Undisputed universal Tag Team champions. Jimmy and Jey are currently having the longest singular title reign in history with 550+ active days.
9. D-GENERATION X
Shawn Michaels and Triple H are best friends in real life. However, their relationship came on-screen when they formed the iconic D-GENERATION X. They had everything which was required to be a star in the Attitude Era. They got their hands on the tag titles only once, but they are among the greatest tag teams in the history of the promotion.
8. The New Age Outlaws
The New Age Outlaws saved the career of both the superstars, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg. Before the formation of the duo, both wrestlers were struggling in the promotion. They were not only good from Bell to Bell, but their on-Mic promos also attained great participation from the audience.
7. The Brothers of Destruction
From vicious sibling rivalry to an unstoppable monstrous duo, The Brothers of Destruction came a long way in the promotion. Both of the superstars were already feared at that time. The Undertaker and Kane are known the best for their individual careers. But the tag team became highly popular in the WWE universe.
6. The New Day
Some people might think that the new day does not deserve a spot on the list. But the underrated Tag Team broke several records in WWE. They have won the Tag Team titles a total of 11 times, which is also a record high. Moreover, one of their title reigns lasted for more than 500 days. The trio also achieved great success in the singles division too. Kofi Kingston and Big E went on to become the WWE champion while Xavier Woods clinched the King of the Ring honour.
5. The Hart Foundation
Both the members of the Hart Foundation were exactly opposite of each other. Bret “The Hitman” Hart was a technical wizard with a huge arsenal of moves. While his in-law, Jim Neidhart was huge in size and a powerhouse. Both superstars required what the other had. And that made their tag partnership legendary. The Hart Foundation was active in the promotion from 1985 to 1991.
4. The Dudley Boyz
The Dudley Boyz have won almost all the possible tag titles in the world. They have shown their long-term dominance in various promotions around continents. They are the only team to hold the WWE, WWF, ECW, WCW, TNA, NWA, IWGP, and AJPW tag team championships. The Dudley Boyz are among the best teams to ever step in the ring. Following their legacy, they were inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 2018.
3. Edge and Christian
What Edge and Christian actually did in the WWE is unmatchable. Their work ethic and hardcore mentality technically engraved their names in the heart of fans. They initially made their debut in the company as a part of the Brood. The members of The Brood were Gangrel, Edge and Christian. After some time, Gangrel was released from the company. And the pair of Edge and Christian became a part of the biggest Tag Team rivalry.
2. The Road Warriors
Road Warriors or we can say the “Legion of Doom” Hawk and Animal were one of the most intimidating and dominant tag teams in the history of professional wrestling. The Road Warriors are also regarded as the pioneers of Tag wrestling. They were inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 2011 for their prowess in WWE (formerly WWF).
1. The Hardy Boyz
The Hardy Boyz are simply the wildest Tag Team to ever compete in WWE. The daredevils were not scared of anyone. Jeff Hardy’s daredevil mentality was phenomenal. Jumping from extraordinary heights was a routine task for the Rainbow-Haired Warrior. They were among the reasons why the tag division achieved great success in the promotion. They were also a part of the legendary tag rivalry alongside the Dudley Boyz and Edge and Christian.
