Grab your partner and tag em in because today's list see's us looking at the top 10 WWE tag team champions!
All tag titles under the wwe name are on display here and i will be picking a bunch not all from same era's. I will also not be including teams with the same members in. SO for example DX so if HBK HHH or any of the past members of DX have won tag titles with different partners it wont be on the list sorry.
10) The Brothers Of Destruction
Yep at number 10 falls one of my fave teams the most destructive team on this list maybe is The Undertaker & Kane, THE BROTHERS OF DESTRUCTION! They should have had more reigns and days that they held the titles but they were meant for better bigger titles. The Deadman and The Devil’s Favourite Demon captured three separate tag team titles, and were also the team to unify the WWE and WCW Tag Team Championships, devouring DDP and Kanyon at SummerSlam 2001 inside of a steel cage.
9) Demolition
HERE COMES THE AX AND HERE COMES THE SMASH! I'll be honest i never seen them wrestle much but i got respect for them for their reign being one of the longest in history. Dressed for pure brutality with spiked ring gear and outrageous face paint, the intimidating duo captured the World Tag Team Championships a total of three times — including the single longest tag title reign in WWE history of more than 470 days. Although they were dismissed early as clones of The Road Warriors, the brutes from Parts Unknown made their reputation of pure destruction against elite combination that included The Hart Foundation, The Rockers, The British Bulldogs and The Brain Busters.
8) Rock N Sock Connection
One of the most electrifying teams on the list comes the unlikely weird pairing of THE ROCK and.....Sock? I mean Mankind/Foley the pair had 3 reigns as tag champs but each did not last long sadly but they were highly entertaining and for being entertaining, fun, funny and overall great wrestlers is why they are on my list. Yes there's so many teams that deserve to be on my list i am only limited to 10 so this is all my 10.
7) DX
ARE YOU READY? I SAID ARE YOU READY!!!?? Here they are i'd say the DX crew are the most entertaining on my list be it under the stable of many or the team of few they dominated gloriously with entertaining antics to boot and with feuds that were gripping to watch. Spanning 13 years, D-Generation X was the brainchild of two best friends, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. In 1997, HBK and The Game brought their backstage friendship in front of the cameras, and the world of sports-entertainment changed forever. DX’s brand of sophomoric humor was a cornerstone of the Attitude Era, and their influence beyond the ring became clear when Mike Tyson was recruited for their group. After eight years apart, the band got back together in 2006. As former multi-time WWE Champions, DX was more powerful than ever, and brandished their logo on the WWE headquarters in Connecticut and on Mr. McMahon’s corporate jet. They returned tag team wrestling to the main event spotlight, dominating pairs including the McMahons, Rated-RKO and Legacy. In 2009, Michaels and Triple H won their first WWE Tag Team Championships together. But D-Generation X wasn’t about the gold — it was about two pals having a blast, dominating competition and revolutionizing entertainment but when they were with New Age Outlaws under their wings they did win more gold but it was just between ASS MAN Billy Gun and the Road Dogg Jesse James.
6) London & Kendrick
These guys were phenomenal before the phenomenal one joined the WWE. It's a shame they spilt. WWE’s tag team division has often been dominated by powerhouse teams like Legion of Doom, The Natural Disasters, Kane and Big Show and other monstrous Superstars who piled up championship reigns. Paul London and Brian Kendrick set out to change that when they joined forces in 2006. Taking to the skies with a unique brand of high flying offense that few teams could answer, London and Kendrick defeated MNM for SmackDown’s WWE Tag Team Titles in May of that year and successfully defended them for the next 331 days which is a feat which was broken recently by New Day. The aerial experts were drafted to Raw in 2007, where they added a World Tag Team Championship reign to their mantle before the WWE Draft split them up in 2008.
5) The Legion Of Doom
Legion Of Doom/Road Warriors well wow what a team they had the mean look and the mean wrestling skills that would run you over repeatedly. The most dominant tag team in sports-entertainment history, WWE Hall of Famers The Road Warriors made their WWE debut in 1990 as the Legion of Doom. After battling Demolition, Hawk and Animal faced The Nasty Boys and defeated the disgusting duo for the World Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam 1991. This victory made the L.O.D. the only pairing in history to win tag team titles in the three promotions that dominated sports-entertainment in the 1980s: AWA, NWA and WWE. Although the Legion of Doom was wildly popular in their early days in WWE, they struggled to maintain their success as the years passed. The L.O.D. left WWE in 1992 but returned in 1997 and won the tag team titles. However, after seemingly splitting up and reforming as L.O.D. 2000, the duo was unable to regain their control over the tag division. Hawk and Animal’s time in WWE wasn’t always as fortuitous as their runs in smaller territories, but their popularity and intensity was rarely matched.
4) The Hardy Boyz
Another one of my fave tag teams in all of wrestling history here, i use to idolise them both but Jeff more and i am still a huge fan of the team, followed their career since the first time i tuned in to a wwf show. An integral part of the tag team renaissance of the early 2000s, Matt and Jeff Hardy were part of the six-headed rivalry (along with Edge & Christian and The Dudley Boyz) that gave birth to the Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, where they pioneered the modern use of the ladder. The reckless abandon with which they practised their craft won the brothers numerous tag titles as well as several singles championships between them.
3) Edge & Christian
HOLD THAT POSE FOR 5 SECONDS PLEASE!...........Ok good. Another entertaining, skilled wrestling tag team here. Lifelong best friends, Edge and Christian went from school hallways in Toronto to quite literally climbing the ladder of success in WWE. The pairing undeniably “reeked of awesomeness” – their tongue-in-cheek “five-second poses” and proclamations that “sodas rule” were just earnest enough to earn simultaneous adoration and eye-rolls from the WWE Universe. With their patented Con-Chair-To, Edge and Christian won seven World Tag Team Championships, the first in a Ladder Match against The Hardys at WrestleMania 2000. They defeated both The Hardys and Dudley Boyz in the first-ever TLC Match at SummerSlam, and were victorious in a rematch at WrestleMania X-Seven – hailed by many as the greatest tag team match in WWE history. The longstanding animosity between the three duos consistently resulted in Edge and Christian supremacy, and solidified the team as not just fun and games, but a bona fide force to be reckoned with. Edge and Christian were the arrogant jerks you loved to hate, especially as they revolutionized tag team wrestling for generations to come.
2) The New Day
Although i am not a big fan of them, they are entertaining and the longest modern era reigning tag champions and at least they are here on my list so don't worry and be happy. The New Day are two-time and longest reigning Raw Tag Team Champions at 483 days, as well as having the longest combined reign at 532 days
1) The Dudleys
GET UP GET UP DROP THE BOMBSHELL! Yes number one has the one and only BUBBA Ray and D-Von Dudley, from Dudleyville, THE DUDLEY BOYZ! The Dudley Boyz, who hold the most reigns as a team with 8! They have won titles all over the world in all different companies from ECW, WWF,WWE,TNA, WCW,2CW,Hustle, All Japan,IWGP and are in TNA's Hall Of Fame. The most accomplished tag team on this list for sure and that's why they are numero uno!
