10 Best WWE Singles Pairings To Ever Win Tag Team Gold
4. Kurt Angle And Chris Benoit
Three of the highly-acclaimed 'SmackDown Six' have already appeared on this list. A shrewd booking decision, Paul Heyman, who had taken the reigns of the new version of the blue brand, decided to build future stars through the medium of tag team wrestling.
Edge was paired with Rey Mysterio; Eddie teamed with his nephew Chavo; the real marquee team however, was Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit. At the time, this was mainly down to Angle having the most credibility of the six. He had reached the lofty heights of WWE in an unimaginably quick time frame.
Like Guerrero and Mysterio, Benoit had long proven his immense in-ring talent, but never broke the glass ceiling in WCW. Coming to WWE, there was no guarantee he would fare any better. Fortunately, he worked his way into heated feuds with the likes of Chris Jericho, The Rock, and Kurt Angle.
As a team, they claimed the first ever WWE Tag Team Championships. Their reign would begin a wrestling revolution on the blue brand, with new stars cropping up all over the joint. Both men have World Championships on their records, and they make up perhaps the greatest pairing of pure wrestling talent there has ever been.
