10 WWE champions and their original tag team partners

#9 Brock Lesnar & Shelton Benjamin

If there’s any performer in WWE right now who doesn’t need a tag partner, it’s Brock Lesnar. However, back in the year 2000, he was teaming with his real-life friend Shelton Benjamin during their early days in OVW.

The duo held the OVW Southern Tag Team titles for a short spell before both were promoted to WWE’s main roster, where they later feuded as part of the Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle storyline.
