WWE is well-known for consistently mismanaging its tag team division for decades. Although tag teams such as The Uso's, The New Day and The Street Profits consist of the most talented wrestlers on the roster, they rarely receive main-event opportunities on Raw, Smackdown and pay-per-view events.
Despite the limitations in exposure, tag teams have consistently delivered some of the best matches of the past two decades. Matches between The New Day, The Bar and The Uso's and NXT showdowns between The Revival and American Alpha are memorable to this day.
On many occasions, wrestlers once part of a tag team in WWE have teamed up following their releases from the company. Many such reunited teams have gone on to have stellar runs in other major promotions and the independent scene. Here is a list of five such occasions.
#5 Former WWE superstars Enzo and Cass
Probably the most bizarre reunion on the list, Enzo and Cass appeared on G1 Supercard out of nowhere and started attacking multiple wrestlers. The ambush was presented as a shoot with the broadcast camera quickly moving away from the situation, but in actuality was a planned part of the show.
The bizarre moment ended with Bully Ray and the Briscoes, amongst others, easily overpowering the duo. As the moment wasn't shown on television, many fans at the arena initially thought it to be a shoot. Enzo and Cass didn't achieve much success as a tag team post-WWE and this incident was their sole claim to fame. Cass is doing quite well for himself, as he has become an integral part of Impact Wrestling.
The duo were quite popular in WWE, and their debut was excellent. However, since their ill-fated break-up, neither Enzo nor Big Cass became top-tier stars, and each of them was released amidst controversial situations.
#4 Former WWE superstars Shad Gaspard and JTG
Cryme Tyme's first WWE run saw the duo released without facing the misfortune of splitting. When they returned to the company for a second stint, they were not as lucky. WWE had Shad Gaspard attack JTG and declare the end of the tag team.
Ironically, JTG remained a part of the the company's roster years after Shad was released. After the former was finally released in 2014, following years of sporadic usage, the duo reunited from time to time.
Unfortunately, Shad Gaspard died in May 2020 in a heroic act to save his son. JTG has vastly improved and has become an important part of the NWA roster.
#3 Former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion The Revival
The Revival never split during their careers in the company, but the way the company booked them on the main roster was beyond comprehension. The talented duo asked for their release several times before finally getting their way out of the company.
The Revival wrestles as FTR in AEW. The new team name comes off as a rather insulting inside joke popularized by The Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes. They are the reigning AAA World Tag Team Champion with experience of holding the AEW tag belts as well.
#2 Former WWE Women's Tag Team Champions The Iiconics
The women's tag team division of the WWE main roster is mostly based on teams created out of nowhere. Before their release, The Iiconics served as a prominent exception to the rule. While their in-ring work wasn't the best, the duo excelled in charisma.
A proper tag team, they won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship on Wrestlemania 35. Since their release, the Australian duo have decided to continue as a team, claiming immediate success at Impact Wrestling, where they reigned as the promotion's Knockouts Tag Team Champion.
#1 Former WWE Raw Tag Team Champion The Hardy Boyz
The reunion of the Hardy Boyz, once a distant dream, has become a possibility following Jeff Hardy's release from the company. The brothers originally gained fame in the company, but later reunited at Impact Wrestling and The Indies.
During the prime of Matt Hardy's Broken gimmick, The Hardy Boyz ventured on a gold-winning quest that saw the brothers win the tag titles of multiple promotions.
When The Charismatic Enigma decides to wrestle again, the possibility exists of him moving to AEW to reunite The Hardy Boyz. Jeff's unwavering fan support hints that the reunion will be quite successful.
