5 WWE tag teams and factions that could reunite in AEW

AEW is slowly becoming one of the top wrestling promotions in the world. It took many companies a lot of time to build their reputation and brand. However, AEW’s financial standing and publicity have helped it reach the top very quickly. Several big signings have also helped the company gain a lot of popularity in such a short time.

While many WWE legends have joined AEW, not many tag teams or factions have made the move or reunited in the new promotion. Fans can look forward to seeing some iconic WWE tag teams and factions reuniting in AEW in the years to come.

Let's take a look at five such iconic WWE teams and factions that could reunite in AEW someday:

#5. Former WWE Tag Team Champions Jeri-Show are now on AEW

Chris Jericho and Paul Wight have both signed for AEW. They made a name for themselves in the wrestling industry by most famously working for WWE.

During their time in Vince McMahon's promotion, Jericho and Wight (aka Big Show) formed a tag team known as Jeri-Show. Together, the two former superstars won the WWE World Tag Team Championships and had a great time together.

During an episode of “Talk Is Jericho,” the former AEW World Champion called Show his favorite tag team partner of all time:

“Show is my favorite tag team partner of all time, by far. That was because I was tag team champions with Edge and Edge tore his Achilles tendon and he was going to be out for eight months. They didn’t want to strip me of the titles, so Vince wanted me to have another partner because we were going into a feud with DX. I suggested Kane and Vince suggested Big Show. I said, great, but no more comedy and he needs to get rid of the one-sided strap. I wanted him in tights. He wanted a singlet. I said we are going to remember how big he is and he is going to be a giant with me. Vince said, ‘Absolutely.’ That’s where it started. Every match we ever had, I won because of him. He would always knock the guy out. Then we got so close, we ended up being like an old married couple where I would have an idea and then he would come up with an idea. I would say, ‘yeah that’s good, but mine’s better.’ He would say, ‘Fine, I’ll just sit here and be a big stupid giant and won’t say a word.’ We had a great chemistry and a great friendship. He was an excellent partner for sure,” recalled Jericho.

Chris Jericho and Paul Wight are both signed to AEW now. However, they are far from each other in terms of on-screen storylines.

AEW could look to get the two friends back together for a run and give fans some memorable moments. It would be great to see the two WWE veterans reunite as the Jeri-Show in AEW.

#4. WWE tag team The O.C. could reunite in AEW

The Good Brothers may be signed to IMPACT wrestling, but Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson appear on AEW whenever they want. It's no secret that former WWE Champion AJ Styles is good friends with Gallows and Anderson.

The three men have teamed up in various promotions numerous times, including WWE. Their faction was known as The O.C. in WWE, and they went on to win a few titles together.

Speaking on his Twitch stream, Styles admitted he held talks with AEW but said no money was discussed. He did mention that it was all business, leaving the door to a potential AEW move ajar:

“Yeah, there were talks,” Styles revealed. “Look, it’s a business. My contract in WWE was going to expire and there were talks happening. The Bucks are my buddies. We never discussed money or anything, but there were talks about coming in. Again, it’s all business.”

The Phenomenal One re-signed with WWE, but he could look to move to AEW once his current contract comes to an end. He could reunite with The Good Brothers in AEW and reform The O.C. to give fans something different.

#3. WWE NXT’s top faction The Undisputed Era could end up in AEW

Adam Cole made his big AEW debut at All Out 2021. He became the first man from the iconic Undisputed Era faction to join the promotion. Bobby Fish recently followed suit after his release from WWE and could look to reunite with Cole at some point.

Things could get much bigger if Kyle O’Reilly or Roderick Strong move to AEW in the years to come. That could lead to a full-blown Undisputed Era reunion in the company.

Speaking to Comicbook, Cole revealed that he loves the idea of working with his former stablemates again. He’s still close to Strong, Fish, and O'Reilly, and would love to re-form the Undisputed Era at some point.

"Obviously in pro wrestling, never say never. But I remember someone recently asked me this about Kevin Owens. So like personally, when it comes to Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong, of course, I love the idea of working in the same company as those guys. I love those guys. All that talk that we did for four years about being brothers and talking every single day, that's all true. That's true to this day. We still talk every single day. So I'm very, very tight with those guys. But at the end of the day, I do want those guys to do what's best for them. So whether that be them showing up in AEW, whether it be them staying in NXT, whether it be them going to Raw or SmackDown or going over to Japan or what have you, I've always been someone, because I do care about my friends, I want them to do what's best for them. So, yeah, I guess we'll see," said Adam Cole.

An Undisputed Era reunion could turn out to be huge for AEW. The faction was once at the top of WWE. A move from Strong or KOR could make AEW undisputed.

#2. Seven-time WWE Tag Team Champions Edge & Christian would do well in AEW

Christian Cage is looking to make his way up in AEW with the IMPACT World Championship in hand. He made a surprise return to the ring in 2021 and has looked unstoppable ever since.

Christian’s wrestling career seemed to be over after he suffered an injury in WWE, but he made a return, much like his best friend Edge. Captain Charisma recalled making the switch, explaining that he spoke with Edge about the move in an interview with ET Canada.

“I did talk to him about it and told him, you know, where my head was, what I was going to do. And, of course, what you do when you're best friends, you support each other no matter what. And he understood that we both have some things that we want to accomplish. And we also understand that we have to go where we’re best served.”

According to WWE Superstar Edge, he was in negotiations with AEW at one point. However, he chose to stay loyal to Vince McMahon and not sign with AEW.

“Some discussions were had. The one thing that I told them through all of this is: when you give me your offer, I need to go talk to Vince," said Edge. "He’s done right by me my entire career. He gave me my chance, he gave me my shot. Trusted me to be able to pull off a lot of things, be a pillar for his shows.”

The two men could look to reunite and have a final run in the ring as Edge & Christian. That could be possible in AEW, where veterans are being offered some good contracts, and more importantly, are being treated with the respect they deserve.

It would be great to see E&C win the AEW World Tag Team Championships before the two legends call it a day.

#1. Nine-time WWE Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz must reunite in AEW

One tag team that could realistically reunite in AEW for a final run at the top is The Hardy Boyz. Known as one of the best tag teams in wrestling history, real-life brothers Jeff and Matt Hardy have performed all over the world.

Jeff Hardy is currently signed to WWE, while Matt is performing in AEW. The Charismatic Enigma doesn’t have the best bookings in WWE, and he could sign with AEW once his contract comes to an end.

Matt has spoken about his desire to reunite with his brother for a final run in AEW before calling it a day:

“The gimmick I would like to end my career on, and I’m pretty confident in saying this, I would like to finish my career teaming with my brother as the Hardy Boyz,” Hardy said. “Real life Matt and real life Jeff just doing our thing. That is, I feel like, a beautiful way to tie up a career. It’s probably going to be 30 years for both of us, probably over 30 years when it’s all said and done. To go out the way you came in, that’s super cool. I would like to finish my career with Jeff Hardy, my brother, as a team. To correct the record, I would love to have Jeff Hardy come to AEW just so we could team together and there’s a lot of great teams there. A proper Hardy Boyz vs. The Young Bucks feud would be amazing.”

The Hardy Boyz could have many dream matches in AEW before calling it a day. The two men must also be looking to get their hands on the AEW World Tag Team Championships to remain the most dominant duo in wrestling.

It would be the perfect way to cap off their respective careers that have spanned over three decades. AEW can make things even better by getting Lita in for a short Team Xtreme reunion.
