7 Best WWE Tag Team Rivalries Of The Past Decade

7. The Wyatt Family Vs. The Usos

After years of being an afterthought, the WWE Tag Team Championships had recently been elevated by the likes of Team Hell No and The Shield when the responsibility fell on the shoulders of two up-and-coming teams to carry the division through the summer months of 2014.

The Usos had just won the titles for the first time, dethroning the New Age Outlaws on RAW - and their tribal dancing, face-painting gimmick had yet to irritate fans as it later did.

Luke Harper and Erick Rowan were also a fresh team. They had only been exposed to the main roster for 12 months, and were branching away from Bray Wyatt for the first time.

The two pairings put on a really good match to open the Money In the Bank pay-per-view in 2014, and then stole the show at Battleground with their 2 out of 3 falls encounter, both of which were won by The Usos. The action was hard-hitting and fast-paced, with Harper in particular making the most of the time given to this rivalry (their nearly 19-minute match was the longest on the Battleground card) to showcase his still-untapped potential.

WWE should have booked a third instalment at SummerSlam and put the Wyatt Family over, because Harper and Rowan deserved a run with the titles and have never been as hot since.
