5 times arch-rivals were put together to form a tag team

#1. John Cena and Batista

In the summer of 2018, just a year after John Cena's Tag Team Championship run alongside Shawn Michaels, the company decided to allow the former WWE Champion to step into another interesting storyline.

Batista was drafted over to Monday Night RAW alongside John Cena after years of being the main star on Friday Night SmackDown. It was obvious that Batista was going to be a problem for Cena in the main event of the show, but before the duo could embark on a feud of their own, they went on to win the WWE Tag Team Championships.

The issues between the two men meant that their reign is somewhat forgettable since it only lasted a week, but it proved that Cena and Batista had the chemistry to go on to have a show-stealing feud.

Batista and Cena went on to face off at SummerSlam where surprisingly it was The Animal who came out on top in what was a fantastic match from two of the biggest stars in WWE at that time.
