10 Greatest WWE Tag Teams Of The Past 10 Years

Over the past decade, teams like Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, Heath Slater and Rhyno, The Corre, and Air Boom have all held tag-team gold in WWE. What do these teams have in common aside from winning the championships? Well, most wrestling fans will barely remember them another 10 years from now.

People are more likely to talk about Demolition (who last held the titles way back in 1990) than the Nexus wannabes that were The Corre, for example. WWE's repeated attempts to shunt two or more performers together because they have nothing else for them as individuals rarely works. The key word there is rarely though, because sometimes it leads to magic.

In the past 10 years alone, four of the best teams in WWE history have been born out of the dreaded 'creative has nothing else for you' dilemma. Other notable teams were more traditional tag-teams or groups that showed just how valuable tag wrestling can be when WWE give it a chance.

10. The Revival

Say yeah to The Revival, because Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson have been one of WWE's most consistent tag-teams of the past decade inside the ring. Though they've had their injury problems since being called up to the main roster the night after WrestleMania 33, Dash and Dawson owned NXT for several years before debuting on Raw.

As two-time NXT tag-team champs, The Revival's traditional quality instantly conjured up images of teams like The Brain Busters or even Four Horsemen members Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko in WCW during the late-90s. There's room on the roster for a no-nonsense duo who focus on outsmarting opponents as wrestlers rather than relying on a flashy gimmick.

In that sense then, The Revival are refreshing. Even Dawson's facial hair is reminiscent of guys like Ole or Arn Anderson, and that old-school feel only helps them stand out. Forget The Vaudevillains and their one-note old-timey gimmick that was never going to last, because it's The Revival who take the traditional crown.
