10 WWE Ruthless Aggression Tag Teams You Totally Don’t Remember
In an era lacking in credible tag teams these guys still failed to leave much of an impression.
While the Ruthless Aggression era would see WWE attempt to successfully pivot away from the most commercially successful period in the history of professional wrestling by dividing the roster into two separate brands, and promoting the emergence of several new stars, the tag team division during this period was in a slump, to say the least.
Sure, tag team wrestling had already devolved in the years following the New Generation with the WWE relying on an increased number of thrown together pairs to contest the once esteemed belts, but things only got worse when the brand split meant that the company now had two sets of titles to promote, only further serving to dilute the tandem talent pool.
That isn't to say that some great tag teams didn't manage to carve out a place during that era, but those that actually enjoyed lasting success were few and far between.
As a result, there were a number of teams in the mid-2000s that came and went almost in the blink of an eye, lost in the never-ending creative shuffle and all but forgotten about... until now.
10. Deuce 'N' Domino
In hindsight, Deuce n' Domino deserved better during their time together in the WWE. Unlike many of their contemporaries on this list, the pair came packaged with a greaser gimmick that, while outdated, could've feasibly proved successful, and weren't even immediately doomed by terrible booking on their arrival on the main roster.
So why has the pair since been confined to being viewed as little more than the answer to a trivia question?
Well, the problem was despite their unique look, and over 100 day run as WWE Tag Team Champions in 2007, the pair weren't great together in the ring, and failed to really elicit a reaction from the WWE fans at that time. Replacing original valet Cherry with Maryse did little to change the teams downward trajectory after dropping the belts, and they would ultimately split in the summer of 2008.
While Domino was immediately resigned to jobberdom and released shortly afterwards, Duece would go on to take his legendary father's surname and came close to being part of Legacy, before ultimately also being released a year later.
