12 OTHER Major WWE Title Changes Outside North America

Paul London and Brian Kendrick were the longest-reigning World Tag Team Champions in WWE history until last year, but it was their “blink and you’ll miss it” reign as WWE Tag Team Champions that earned their place on this list.

London and Kendrick had come over to Raw in the draft in 2007 and were pursing tag gold once again when they faced tag champs Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch for the titles in Cape Town, South Africa. They would win the titles that night, but lose them back to Cade and Murdoch in Johannesburg three nights later.

That would be their last run as tag champs, but London and Kendrick did get a title reign while touring South Africa, so that rarity earns them a spot here.
