10 Best Wrestling Tag Teams Of 2023

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler still set the bar for tag team excellence.

They opened 2023 by working a short-but-nifty bout vs. Bishamon duo Hirooki Goto and Yoshi-Hashi at New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom 17 on 4 January. FTR dropped the IWGP Tag straps that night, but then they refocused on the AEW belts and won those in early-April. Since then, the pair have worked top match after top match.

Clashes vs. Aussie Open, The Young Bucks (at Wembley Stadium, no less), The Gunns and others have been stellar. Hell, FTR even managed to make the best of secondary challenges from teams like Big Bill and Brian Cage or Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett.

Things arguably peaked with an incredible '2 Out Of 3 Falls' epic vs. Juice Robinson and Jay White on the 15 July episode of Collision though. That near-hour long cracker was essential pro wrestling goodness, and proved once again that FTR proudly waves the flag for tag work.
