Ranking EVERY WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions From Worst To Best

12. The Hardy Boyz

One of the most prominent tag teams in professional wrestling history, The Hardy Boyz won the gold on SmackDown only once. Their solitary reign with the championships occurred last year after they defeated The Usos to win the titles. Thanks to their hardcore wrestling talent, the expectations were high from their championship reign.

Unfortunately, Jeff Hardy's untimely injury compelled them to relinquish their number one position. They never picked up momentum as champions. To add salt to the wound, Lars Sullivan destroyed them and wrote them off the TV. After just 21 days, the Hardy Boyz vacated the championships and left a massive hole in the division.

WWE moved The Usos to RAW in the Superstar Shakeup while The New Day's Kofi Kingston ascended in the singles division. There was no tag team on SmackDown that could carry the department on its shoulders. Heavy Machinery joined the blue brand in the Shakeup after some insignificant appearances on the main roster. Sanity lost its leader to RAW while Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson possessed no momentum.

A Jinder Mahal-Esque push was on the cards for one of the lower mid-card teams. However, there was no Randy Orton who could put the upcoming stars over. The department was in shambles when Matt and Jeff exited; therefore, they deserved the tag for being the worst champions in the show's history.
