5 former WWE World Champions who are now tag-team wrestlers

WWE Superstars either fight as individuals or in a tag team. However, some of these superstars work brilliantly in both of them. These names manage to accomplish great feats in both divisions.

The likes of Edge, Seth Rollins, The Undertaker, and The Miz are prime examples of this category. Not only have these superstars reached the top of the ladder by claiming the world titles, but they have also achieved tremendous heights in the tag division.

At present, there are a few tag-team wrestlers who have the potential to be the next big thing as world champions. Meanwhile, a few former world champions have changed their ways a bit as they now wrestle as tag-team superstars.

Our list will focus on those five former WWE World Champions who are now tag-team wrestlers.

Which of the following stars do you love the most in the team division? Share your opinion with us in the comments below.

#5. Randy Orton is a former WWE World Champion who is now a tag-team wrestler

Randy Orton may be one of the last preferences to tag teams with. After all, who would want to get RKO'd at the end of the day? But Riddle made the difference here as he extended a helping hand to Orton, which the latter accepted.

The Viper is one of the most decorated WWE Superstars of all time. He has won the world championships a total of 14 times, a number bested by only two other superstars.

However, he proved his versatility by associating himself with Riddle as a tag team. The duo became RAW Tag Team Champions for roughly five months and are currently the most exciting act on the red brand's tag division.

RK-Bro is presently in an entertaining feud against The Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) as they are in entertaining segments every week on RAW.

However, it can't be denied that both Orton and Riddle are meant to be singles main eventers. Thus, a rift between the duo may take place soon.

#4. Big E is back with The New Day

Big E has been a tag-team wrestler for the majority of his career. However, he has sporadically contested in the singles division and even managed to claim championship gold in these stints.

He was separated from his New Day partners during the draft and has since gone on to win the Intercontinental title, Money in the Bank briefcase, and eventually the WWE Championship.

His title reign ended abruptly at the Day 1 Premium Live Event when Brock Lesnar pinned him. He is yet to get his rematch for the title. However, it seems unlikely as he has made his way back to his former faction and now appears alongside Kingston.

#3. Dolph Ziggler is a former World Heavyweight Champion and now teams up with Robert Roode

Dolph Ziggler rose to fame when he won the Money in the Bank briefcase. He cashed in on Alberto Del Rio at the RAW after WrestleMania in 2013. The crowd erupted as soon as the bell rang in his favor.

However, he has hardly ever come close to reclaiming the world title since then. Now, The Show-Off teams up with Robert Roode as The Dirty Dawgs.

Ziggler has also made a solo appearance on NXT 2.0 and seems to be transitioning back to singles wrestling. But as of now, The Dirty Dawgs are still partners.

#2. Jinder Mahal now works alongside Dilsher Shanky

After returning to WWE with a transformation in early 2017, Jinder Mahal earned a massive push. Mahal shocked the world when he defeated Randy Orton to become the WWE Champion.

His reign ended abruptly when he lost the title to AJ Styles mere days before Survivor Series. He couldn't ever claim the belt again. Moreover, The Modern Day Maharaja inserted himself into the 24/7 picture.

He currently works as a tag team alongside Dilsher Shanky. It is yet to be seen whether Veer Mahaan, who is coming to RAW, will join him or rebel against him because Veer too was a part of the aforesaid team.

#1. Rey Mysterio teams up with his son

Rey Mysterio is one of the greatest luchadors of all time. Despite his size, Mysterio has managed to claim the world championship on a couple of occasions.

When he got engaged in a feud against Brock Lesnar, Mysterio's son also started making appearances. Dominik Mysterio has since teamed up with his father in a tag team known as "The Mysterios."

They became the first father-son duo to win the Tag Team Championships. The Mysterios are currently in a feud against The Miz.
