Forgotten about almost before they even lost their WWE Tag Team Titles to novelty comedy duo Deuce and Domino, Paul London and Brian Kendrick's 334-day reign as Champions continued the company's Championship restoration project after strong stints for the straps with MNM.

Guaranteeing match quality on shows often creatively barren during one of Vince McMahon's disinterest periods with his B-show, London and Kendrick's WWE stock only tumbled when they moved into a Pedigree position on Monday Night Raw. For almost a full year on SmackDown, they were the ultimate in-ring safety bets.
