10 WWE WrestleMania Losers That Won Long-Term

4. The Hardy Boyz And The Dudley Boyz (WrestleMania 2000)

You could add another entry for WrestleMania X7 as well, but that'd just be redundant. By early 2000, WWE's tag team division was at its most overloaded (in a good way) since the heyday of the Harts, Rockers, Bulldogs, and Demolition. Along with Edge and Christian, the aforementioned duos were leading a new age of tag team excellence, and all three pairs were entered into this triple ladder match for the gold. The match itself was so wonderfully chaotic that no matter who lost, those two teams were not going to be fading away. Edge and Christian won, and they found themselves grapevined with the Hardyz and the Dudleyz for a few sequels, and other assorted tag team bouts, usually for the titles. Jeff Hardy himself would notably ascend as a singles WWE star.
