When Daniel Bryan first appeared as a bland babyface on the original NXT show, it was impossible to imagine that he'd be teaming with the monstrous Kane just two years later. 'Team Hell No' (as they came to be called) are one of the most notable odd couples in WWE history, and certainly the most prominent of the past 10 years.

Mixing comedy with an underlying respect for one another, Bryan and Kane gelled to capture fan hearts and the WWE creative team's attention in late-2012. Who will ever forget those hilarious 'Anger Management' skits with Dr. Shelby and the gang, or the infamous 'Hug It Out' chants that thundered from the stands when things threatened to go sour?

The dysfunctional unit story had been told effectively in WWE before (Booker T and Goldust anyone?), but Team Hell No were something else. Cries of "I'm The Tag-Team Champions" from both Kane and Bryan added to the fun and turned the team from throwaway nonsense into comedy gold.
