5 Tag Teams WWE Needs To Sign Right Now

For a while there, it seemed like tag team wrestling in World Wrestling Entertainment was dead in the water. A cursory look at some of the past champions in the period between the unification of the titles in 2009 to the current day paints a particularly dreary picture, with such historic teams as Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov, The Corre (Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel) and The New Nexus (David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty) holding the shiny copper pennies at various points.

Go even further back, to the miserable mid-2000s, and the division is cluttered with teams like Gymini, The Dicks and The Heartthrobs. It has been bleak, to say the least.

Maybe it is too optimistic to commit to this, but the winds of change seem to have spread through the WWE and tag team wrestling is a thing once more. There are actual teams inhabiting the division, The New Day are the best thing on WWE television right now and two weeks ago one of the most decorated teams in the history of the business returned. Of course, I'm talking about the Dudley Boyz. 

NXT can hold its hand up as a safe haven for tag team wrestling as well, and the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is underway. 

Of course, tag team wrestling on the independent scene never died, and as such there are a number of teams that have been revolutionising tag team wrestling as we know. Here are five teams that the WWE just has to sign.

I won't be the first to say it and I most definitely will not the last; The Young Bucks are the best tag team on the planet today. Quite simply, nobody does tag wrestling like these two. Matt and Nick Jackson often get compared to the Hardy Boyz (what is it with all these boys and boyz?), but where the Hardyz took risks and splashed through tables, the Bucks are way flashier with their in-ring offence. 

Individually they are two of the best high flying wrestlers on the planet, but when combined they take double team moves to new levels.

They also have the character chops to back all of this, being experts at portraying smug, annoying heels who can back it all up between the ropes. Is there a downside to the work of the Bucks? You could argue that their matches can veer into spotfest territory from time to time, but such is the talent of ability of Matt and Nick that there should be no doubt whatsoever of them adjusting to working WWE style. 

I would personally be surprised if the Bucks turned up in NXT any time soon, however. They are one of the hottest acts outside of WWE right now, and one would assume they are doing pretty well for themselves (at least according to their half kayfabe/half real Twitter feeds).

Still, a division can't claim to be the best in the world without the finest performers in that category.
