10 Best Tag Teams WWE Has Created Over The Past Decade

WWE has long had a reputation for having a weak tag team scene. While there have been notable exceptions to that perception (such as in the early 2000s, during the first days of the TLC match), for the most part, it's been true. Even this past year, when the company finally seemed to be getting it together in terms of tag team quality and volume, they split the roster, resulting in two skimpy tag team divisions rather than one full one.

Still, it would be unfair to say that WWE hasn't created good tag teams. In the modern era, especially, they may be few and far between, but they've still existed, standing out from the crowd. While the company has still continued to rely on nostalgia acts, teams who first started working together elsewhere, and identical twins who were destined to work in tandem, there are still instances where the company's decision-makers put two wrestlers together and the results were surprisingly successful.

This list looks at the ten best examples of WWE putting the right wrestlers in a team. Sure, it may seem like tandems like The New Nexus or Vladimir Kozlov and Santino Marella have been stinking up the joint for most of the past decade, but a closer look will show some real winners.

When Damien Sandow was repackaged as The Miz's stunt double, it looked like another step down the roster for the talented star. As "The Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses," Sandow showed a lot of potential, but after losing on his Money in the Bank cash-in attempt, he was in free-fall.

It turned out that the partnership with The Miz made him one of the most popular men in the company. As Damien Mizdow, the star began copying The Miz's movements so successfully that fans loved it - and The Miz hated it. Despite being jealous of his stunt double - and showing flashes of the heel greatness that he regularly exhibits now - The Miz still teamed with Mizdow to capture the WWE Tag Team Titles.

Eventually, Miz took his mistreatment of his stunt double too far, and Mizdow snapped, leading to a feud between the pair. It looked like Mizdow was on his way to a hot babyface fun, but WWE chose to have Miz win the feud, then wasted Sandow before releasing him.
