10 WWE Tag Teams Where Both Members Were The Marty Jannetty

There was a time when both of these performers were promising prospects. Sure, Axel had floundered as Mike McGillicutty, but he was still the son of the legendary Curt Hennig and had some solid in-ring skills. Ryback on the other hand found himself the subject of a strong push before becoming the "Pre-Show Stopper".

Seeing the two contrasting performers paired together made it clear that creative had no direction for them but had some steam thanks to their partnership with Paul Heyman. Typically, the creator of ECW had the golden touch when it came to making stars, but their tag team was anything but golden.

After Ryback took time off for surgery, he returned as a singles star. The powerhouse did capture Intercontinental Championship gold, but this was a final piece of glory for him as he would fall down the card and eventually part with the company under bad terms. Nowadays, Ryback has fallen off the map completely, save to appear and annoy legendary performers like Mark Henry on Twitter.

Axel would find a decent place for himself after the break-up of Rybaxel as part of the Social Outcasts and B-Team, but it was clear his "Better Than Perfect" moniker rang hollow. He was eventually released during the infamous Covid-19 cuts.
