10 Awesome WWE Tag Teams Formed By Main Eventers
7. Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit
As a wrestler, singer and actor, Chris Jericho has achieved an impressive amount of accolades throughout his career, and the most impressive of all those feats – apart from his performance in Sharknado 3 – is that he is the first wrestler to be featured on this list two times.
At Judgment Day 2001, Jericho and Benoit competed in and won a tag team turmoil match, earning them a WWF Tag Team Championship opportunity against Steve Austin and Triple H the following night on Raw. Much to the surprise of the fans, the two underdogs defied expectations by defeating Two Man Power Trip to claim the gold, in what is considered one of the greatest Raw tag team matches of all time.
They would go on to defend the title only once before losing the championship to the Dudley Boyz and disbanding at King of the Ring when Benoit – while competing in a triple threat match with Jericho and Stone Cold Steve Austin – suffered a broken neck that not only ended the partnership but kept Benoit sidelined for the rest of the year.
