10 Dream Tag Teams From WWE, AEW & NJPW Rosters

As anyone who has ever followed a sports team or player will tell you, sports and fantasy go hand in hand.

"If only Federer had converted those match points!"

"What if the referee had seen Henry's hand-ball?!"

"If only our team wasn't so utterly s**t."

Another common fantasy among sports fans is imagining dream lineups: assembling impossible collections of talent from across the globe to create the ultimate team. With that in mind, we decided it would be fun to imagine a world where pesky limitations like "non-compete clauses" and "geography" didn't exist, allowing wrestlers from the top three wrestling companies in the world to join forces at will.

The only rule in creating the following tag teams was 'duos only' - no Freebirding (or New Day-ing, if you're of a younger generation). Nostalgia has also been avoided as much as possible, so there will be no reformations of famous, well-established tag teams like the Hardy Boyz or the Golden Lovers on this list.

Please let us know of any fantasy pairing's you would like to see down in the comments section. AEW, WWE, and NJPW aren't exactly short of talent...

Two hard-hitting wrestlers who, despite being perennial midcarders, have managed to build a loyal following due to their fantastic workrate and ability to get any match over. For fans of in-ring action, Tomohiro Ishii and Cesaro would be damn near the ultimate team.

Cesaro is one of the greatest tag team wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling. From forming the Kings of Wrestling with Chris Hero to his woefully under-appreciated stint with Tyson Kidd, not to mention his partnership with Sheamus as one half of The Bar, Cesaro has a gift for getting the best out of his partners. And with a partner as proficient as Tomohiro Ishii, that's a hell of a prospect.

Ishii is a master at generating sympathy from the audience with his selling, and the pop he'd get when making the hot tag to Cesaro would be extraordinary. Particularly as it would allow Cesaro to showcase his amazing offensive capabilities, which have been cruelly curtailed by WWE since his heel turn.

Let's put it this way - if Cesaro ever does make the jump to NJPW, this would be a hell of a way to boost its flagging tag division.
