10 B-Team WWE Tag Team Champions
Dallas & Axel were bad, but not THIS bad...
There's no way to objectively call Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel the worst thing to happen to the Raw Tag Division in a year when a literal child held the gold for 24 hours back in April, but The B-Team's 50-day run was miserable.
Their act is fun, but two career enhancement talents shouldn't be anywhere near championship gold, even with belts as diminished as these. On a roster featuring former NXT standouts The Revival and AOP, WWE went with a new age J.O.B. Squad, continuing the titles' slide towards irrelevance before Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre swept in to save the day, taking the straps on a September episode of Raw.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened. Vince McMahon's general disregard has seen many a dodgy duo installed as champions over the decades, usually as placeholders until the company could figure something more compelling to do with the division, which is exactly what we've just witnessed with The B-Team, Ziggler, and McIntyre.
The worst part of all this? Dallas and Axel aren't even the most galling examples. At least their Raw Tag Title run was relatively short...
10. Animal & Heidenreich
Returning for a legacy-denting WWE run in 2005, Road Warrior Animal challenged Tag Team Champions MNM to a clash at the upcoming Great American Bash pay-per-view. He didn't have a partner, but in stepped the skill-deficient Heidenreich, with the duo scoring the victory in what was designed as a touching tribute to Hawk, who'd passed away close to two years prior.
Though WWE's booking intentions were pure, the reign quickly unravelled. Heidenreich took on the Legion Of Doom's signature look, clarting himself with facepaint and donning spiked shoulder pads, but felt more like a Butlins parody act than a genuine tribute. It reeked of the worst kind of nostalgia, greatly diminishing the ageing Animal, the L.O.D. brand, and the titles, which the duo somehow kept hold of for three full months.
The new L.O.D. eventually lost the gold back to MNM that October, and continued as a team until January 2006, when Heidenreich was let go from the company. Though their run didn't exactly come during a boom period for tag teams in WWE, it was as needless as it was destructive.
