10 Great Tag Teams That WWE Must Sign Today
10 great duos who should be on Vince McMahon's radar.
Many fans will tell you that tag team wrestling is a dying art, and they’ve got a point. WWE’s tag division has been on a constant downswing since peaking with The Dudley Boyz, Edge & Christian, and The Hardy Boyz in the early 2000s. A handful of teams like John Morrison & The Miz and the record-breaking Paul London & Brian Kendrick have emerged since then, but for the most part, WWE’s once-celebrated tag scene has been an afterthought.
The company have gone some way to addressing the problem since WrestleMania. Current champions The New Day are one of WWE’s hottest acts, and recent NXT callups Enzo & Cass are knee-deep in John Cena's war with The Club. There’s still a long way to go, though: The Vaudevillains have already been relegated to show-opening whipping boys, the Dudleys and Usos are in in purgatory, and it looks like The Shining Stars will never get off the ground.
Outside of Raw and SmackDown, however, tag team wrestling is in great shape. While American Alpha and The Revival continue to wow NXT audiences, there are a host of other tag teams lighting the sport up across the globe, many of whom would provide a much-needed jolt of adrenaline to the WWE roster.
Here are ten great teams to freshen-up WWE’s Tag Title scene.
10. All Night Express
Former Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions Kenny King and Rhett Titus are two of the best sleazy heels on the independent scene. Coming together in 2009, they hit the ground running, putting-on a series of great matches with celebrated teams like Adam Cole & Kyle O’Reilly and The Briscoe Brothers, before defeating WWE alumni Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas to capture ROH gold in 2012.
King’s departure for TNA just 5 days later put the team on-hold before the title run could ever kick-off, but they returned to action at last September’s All Star Extravaganza event, and haven’t looked back since.
King and Titus have blossomed into an excellent unit. Boasting complimentary skillsets, great interplay, and a strong sense of teamwork, their showy “lady's men” gimmick is classic wrestling fodder. They’d be a great fit in a WWE tag scene lacking in quality heel units.
