20 Worst WWE Tag Team Champions Ever

4. Kenzo Suzuki And Rene Dupree

The year 2004 saw WWE Creative on the SmackDown brand put a great deal of time and energy into pushing Rene Dupree and Kenzo Suzuki in singles competition. Each was positioned as a top contender to the United States Championship but failed to wrest it away from John Cena. With their pushes failing miserably, the decision was made to bring them together as a tag team in an attempt to justify the amount of television time they had eaten up. They defeated Billy Kidman and Paul London to win the titles. From there, they defended against the likes of Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio, retaining by hook or crook. No matter how hard management tried to convince fans that they made a quality tag team, it did not resonate. Their chemistry in the ring was less-than stellar and their personalities did not make for a hugely compelling tandem. Two singles stars thrown together to make sense of their push do not tag team champions make. As has been abundantly clear throughout the majority of this list, anytime WWE Creative has taken the focus off of traditional tag teams to focus on makeshift teams designed to further stories or give two solo competitors something to do, the art of tag team wrestling in the company has suffered tremendously.
