Before there was NXT, there was Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), WWE's old developmental territory that gave them some of their biggest current stars. 

The histories of FCW's many titles are littered with famous faces, including the Florida Tag Team Championships, which existed between 2008 and 2012. 

The most successful team in FCW history were The Rotundos, AKA brothers Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas, whilst stars like Big E, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns all won the belts in various combinations. Reigns won his with the wrestler who would go on to become Tyler Breeze, if you can believe it. 

As for the final champions, they reigned for just 17 days before FCW closed its doors to make way for the black and gold. They were Rick Viktor, who would go on to become just Viktor in The Ascension, and Brad Maddox, the guy who screwed Ryback out of the WWE Championship at Hell in a Cell 2013. 

There was no way FCW could have known that these two would go on to have such mediocre careers, but, with the power of hindsight, it's painfully clear that they made the wrong decision.
