Ranking EVERY WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions From Worst To Best
9. Heath Slater And Rhyno
Another makeshift tag team featuring on this list is the alliance of Heath Slater and Rhyno. Like Shane McMahon and The Miz, this duo created a 'feel good' moment when they became the champions at Backlash 2016. WWE booked a fantastic storyline by not drafting Slater to any brand.
A kayfabe background of Slater wanting the job for his kids added a realistic touch to this story. After he gained an entry in the tag team titles tourney, 'The One-Man Band' aligned himself with Rhyno. The Beauty and The Man-Beast miraculously reached the finals and conquered The Usos in the summit clash.
They had a decent 83-day reign with the titles before The Wyatt Family subdued them to attain the number one position. The organization failed to continue the team's momentum on the TV because of a lack of proper tag teams. American Alpha was the only credible unit on the roster, but they were busy feuding with The Usos.
Slater and Rhyno tried to raise the entertainment value with their skits. However, there was not a single match during their reign that exhibited proper two-on-two wrestling.
