Nothing pumps up a WWE crowd like a legendary tag team. The tough rivalries and heart-stopping stunts—these teams defined eras, and fans still remember their impact. Let’s look at why fans are crazy for these tag teams and what makes them stand out in WWE history.
The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley)
Masters of tables and brutal chaos, the Dudley Boyz ruled the tag division in the early 2000s. With a staggering ten tag team championships, they left WWE in 2005, briefly returning in 2015. The duo’s unmatched chemistry and intense style keep their legacy alive among fans.
Edge and Christian
These two took tag team wrestling to new heights—literally—with their ladder matches. They won the tag team championships seven times, dominating the Attitude Era with brutal TLC matches and hilarious backstage segments. Though they have reunited for special appearances, Edge and Christian’s last full-time tag team run ended in 2001.
The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff Hardy)
People got crazy over the jaw-dropping stunts and extreme risk-taking style of the Hardys. The daring style and colorful image made them fan favorites from their 1999 debut. After a surprise 2017 return at WrestleMania 33, they parted ways in 2019, but their high-flying legacy endures.
The Shield (Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins)
Originally debuting in 2012, The Shield brought a new level of intensity to WWE. Ambrose and Rollins teamed up within the trio, beating opponents using their raw power and brotherhood. Since Ambrose left WWE in 2019, it was the end of an era for the two wrestlers.
The Brothers of Destruction (Undertaker and Kane)
When Undertaker and Kane joined forces, they became an unstoppable force—putting in supernatural elements and powerhouse wrestling together. Pairing since 1997, the duo’s presence was spine-chilling and unique. Though Undertaker retired in 2020, that bond defined WWE’s more theatrical side for generations.
The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso)
As real-life twin brothers, The Usos brought a new level of synergy to WWE. Starting in 2009, they rose to become multi-time champions using a style that balanced high-flying moves and Samoan pride. After recent family storylines caused a rift, fans are eager to see the twins return as a unified force.
Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane)
Bryan and Kane became the ultimate odd couple when they formed Team Hell No in 2012. Blending Bryan’s technical skill with Kane’s brute strength, they captivated fans through a mix of humor and power. The unlikely partnership shook up the tag division and left classic moments for fans.
The Rock ‘n’ Sock Connection (The Rock and Mankind)
A duo nobody saw coming, The Rock and Mankind were all about charisma and chaos. After their 1999 debut, they became instant fan favorites because of their comedy and teamwork. Fans still talk about those in-ring antics and mismatched chemistry today, making them one of the most unforgettable partnerships in WWE history.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E)
The New Day changed the face of WWE’s tag division with their fun-loving attitude and infectious energy. They debuted in 2014 and quickly won multiple championships. But then Big E’s 2022 injury sidelined the trio, and fans are waiting for the day they’ll see all three back together.
DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa)
This tag team’s rise in NXT from 2015 to 2017 told one of wrestling’s most heartfelt stories. With a reputation for technical skill and a powerful emotional bond, DIY’s breakup shocked fans, leaving a void in the tag division. But many people admire the DIY partnership—one that made every match emotional.
