10 Longest Reigning WWE Tag Team Champions Ever

10. MNM - 145 Days

When Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro (who would become John Morrison) and Melina were unveiled as MNM in the spring of 2005, it is safe to say that the SmackDown tag team championship scene wasn't at its strongest. The champions were Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, a fine team for sure, but the belts were props to advance the story between the two friends. MNM merely picked the bones.

Mercury and Nitro would win tag gold three times in 2005, with Legion of Doom (Animal and Heidenreich) and Batista & Rey Mysterio sitting between the three reigns. Their third reign began at the end of December and would be their longest, defeating the Animal & Rey for the straps only to lose them 145 days later to Paul London & Brian Kendrick.

MNM were clearly the top team at this time, being packaged and presented like a trio as opposed to two guys thrown together for storyline purposes. Before putting this together I expected this to be a longer reign, but 145 days is certainly nothing to be sniffed at.
