10 WWE Tag Teams That Broke Up Way Too Soon
4. World's Greatest Tag Team
Kurt Angle was already in exceptional shape as a singles star at the dawn of 2003, but putting the debuting Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas with him as part of Team Angle only added to the act. Because of how well they worked together as a tag team, it should have come as no surprise that Benjamin and Haas won the WWE Tag Team Championship no more than two months into their main roster run.
The World's Greatest Tag Team lived up to their lofty name by proceeding to contest classics with the likes of Eddie Guerrero and Tajiri, Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman, and The APA. They were undoubtedly the best thing to happen to SmackDown's tag team division since the dissolution of the SmackDown Six, but of course, it didn't take long for WWE to ruin a good thing.
A little over a year after they came together on the main roster, Benjamin and Has were separated in the 2004 Draft Lottery when Benjamin was sent packing to Monday nights. There, he amounted to major singles success, winning the Intercontinental Championship multiple times, while Haas toiled away on the blue brand's undercard.
They reunited on a few different occasions in WWE in the years that followed, but they weren't the tandem they once were.
