10 Weird WWE Pairings That Turned Out Surprisingly Well

5. Rated RKO

Around 2007, Edge & Randy Orton were two of WWE's best young singles stars. By that stage in their careers, both men had already won major titles, and had carved out a decent spot for themselves on WWE's programming. Weirdly then, they came together as a team, in spite of the egotistic, lone-wolf attitude that both of them had and the fact that they were having success as individuals. In storyline however, the team of Edge & Randy Orton banded together because they found a common cause. Initially, Rated RKO was formed to take on D-Generation X, who they felt were taking up too much TV time and were preventing either of them from becoming World Champion. Once they achieved a victory over DX, the success of the team led to a tag title run, and a near six month spell as a functioning duo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEX35Z_i6WU It was both men's individual ambitions to be champion that became their downfall, but for a decent amount of time before that, two very individu wrestlers came together to create a strangely effective team.
