10 WWE Tag-Teams That United A Face And Heel

9. The Nexus

Another slightly confusing one, but bear with us.

At Hell in a Cell 2010, John Cena lost a match to Nexus leader, Wade Barrett, with the stipulation that, should he lose, he had to join the group.

With Cena now a part of the group, Barrett teamed him with none other than future pre-show analyst and everyone’s favourite commentator David Otunga, to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championships.

At Bragging Rights, the ultimate dream team defeated Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre to become the new champs. David Otunga once held the WWE Tag Team Championships with 16-time World Champion, John Cena. Let that sink in for a moment.

Whilst they lost the belts the next night (Wade Barrett kept the belts within Nexus by forcing Otunga to lay down to Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel), but, for one glorious night, the greatest good guy in WWE history was paired with... well, he was a heel, so it counts.
