In this article, we look at 3 WWE tag teams that disliked each other in real life, and 2 that got along well...

Professional wrestling certainly would not be the same without great tag teams, and there has never been such a surplus of phenomenal duos -- both in the WWE and on the Indies. While some fans believe the WWE has not been committing to their tag team divisions as much as they should be over on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, there definitely is no shortage of championship-worthy teams. On SD Live, we have The New Day, The Bludgeon Brothers, The Usos, Sheamus & Cesaro, SAnitY, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson among others.

Over on Raw, we have the likes of Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler, AOP, the newly reformed Shield faction, The Revival and of course, our current Tag Team Champions, The B Team. Although tag teams can take its members to new heights or levels in sports entertainment, not all duos we see on television were put together based on their own choice -- in fact, there have been a few WWE tag teams that didn't like each other whatsoever behind the scenes.

However, regardless of the Superstars personal views, to be a successful tag team, they needs to get along with their partner and "click" so to speak. With that said, despite the fact some teams may appear to get along well on-screen, once backstage, they may act a bit differently amongst each other... Today, we are going to be looking at 3 WWE tag teams that didn't like each other in real-life, and 2 that got along well together.

#5 Didn't Like Each Other: Edge and Randy Orton

Randy Orton
Randy Orton and Edge may have clicked on-screen, but Edge was not a fan of the pairing backstage...

Rated-RKO is definitely one of the most star-studded tag teams in recent WWE history, as both Edge and Randy Orton were at their absolute prime -- both were WWE Championship worthy competitors. While many fans loved the pairing of Edge and Orton because it brought excitement to the tag team division (and new feuds for other top teams), the members themselves were not fans of being put together whatsoever...

Apparently, Edge was unhappy about being stuck with Randy Orton due to the fact Randy was at his "worst" when it came to attitude issues backstage as well as Wellness Policy violations, also, Edge felt as though he should have been continuing his singles run as a top heel. That said, regardless of their personal feelings behind the scenes, Rated-RKO is arguably one of the best duos in recent memory, and they certainly added prestige to the Tag Team Championships.

#4 Got Along Well: Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

Luke
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson have been the best of friends since their stints in NJPW...

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are undoubtedly what many fans describe as being a perfect tag team, as you have the brute strength in Gallows, and the finesse and high-flying ability in Anderson -- together, they are phenomenal. Since their paring in 2013 over in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson spend most of their time on the road together, and they have since become great friends.

Gallows and Anderson definitely had a great run over in NJPW as a top-billing tag team, and they are partly responsible for The Bullet Club becoming such a huge faction. Without question, Luke and Karl got along well together right from the start (before they became friends), and their chemistry in the ring sealed the deal as far as "The Good Brothers" being a top duo. It's rather unfortunate that the WWE have yet to see the true value in Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows...

#3 Didn't Like Each Other: William Regal and Tajiri

William
William Regal has gone on record to state that he despised Tajiri as his tag team partner...

When you look at the two former WWE stars Tajiri and William Regal, it's highly doubtful that you would see much in common between the two aside from the fact that they were a tag team at one point in sports entertainment history. In the recent past when asked about teaming with former Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri, William Regal offered fans never-before-heard info that he absolutely despised Tajiri as his tag team partner.

William shared a couple of his issues with Tajiri including the fact Tajiri insisted on driving their travel car even though he couldn't drive, driving with no music on, and a multitude of other issues -- Regal proclaimed he questioned his own sanity. However, on a positive note, William Regal also stated that he and Tajiri had phenomenal chemistry between the ropes, and that they had many "magical" moments as a duo.

#2 Got Along Well: The Shield (Roman, Dean and Seth)

The Sh
The Shield (Roman, Dean and Seth) are "brothers" on and off-screen in WWE
....

The Shield are arguably one of the greatest wrestling factions or teams in sports entertainment history, and each member was just as valuable to the group as the other -- Seth was the high-flyer, Dean was the complex lunatic, and Roman was the big, mean powerhouse. As a faction, The Shield were unstoppable, and every member has gone on to do big things in the WWE as a singles star -- all three are former WWE World Champions.

Roman, Dean and Seth had fantastic chemistry right from the start of their pairing, and they definitely convinced WWE officials right from the get-go that they were capable of being positioned as a top group. While the three "Shield Brothers" have stated in the past that they were never good friends before being put together, once they were made into a faction, an unbreakable bond was created between all three members...

#1 Didn't Like Each Other: The Bludgeon Brothers

The
The Bludgeon Brothers, formerly known as The Wyatt Family Henchmen, didn't always get along well...

The Bludgeon Brothers, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, have unquestionably made the most out of the little they have been given in WWE. Prior to becoming SmackDown Live's most formidable tag team, both Luke and Erick played vital roles for The Wyatt Family. While Harper and Rowan had some success as singles stars in WWE (Luke mainly), they are definitely better suited as a tag team considering it doesn't seem as though the company had or has any long-term plans for either Bludgeon Brother as solo acts.

Despite the fact that Erick Rowan and Luke Harper have immense chemistry on television and come across as being on the same page, that wasn't always the case. In fact, Luke Harper stated in a recent podcast that he hated being paired up with Erick Rowan in the beginning -- the Wyatt Family days. Luke proceeded to inform Edge and Christian that he eventually had a realization that he needed to get along with Erick considering they were "stuck" together, and since then, they have gotten along well and have made the best of things...
