5 Times WWE legends teamed up to win the Tag-Team Championships

Some say that tag-team wrestling is a lost art, at least in the WWE. Over the years, we've seen specialists like The Hardys, Edge and Christian and the Dudleyz revolutionize it. However, there have also been brief times when two top WWE Superstars formed a brief tag-team to go on and win the WWE Tag-Team Championships.

Some of these title reigns were so short that a large section of WWE fans have forgotten about some of them.

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels briefly joined forces in 1997 to take on the Hart Foundation. In the main-event of the May 26th, 1997 episode of RAW, Austin and Michaels beat the British Bulldog and Owen Hart for the WWE Tag-Team Championships.

The duo didn't end up holding the titles for too long. They had to vacate the titles shortly after that when Shawn Michaels was suspended for a backstage fight with Bret Hart back that June.

After Michaels and Austin were forced to vacate the titles, Austin teamed up with Dude Love to face the new Owen Hart and the Bulldog for the vacant titles. Austin and Dude Love ended up winning the titles.

Edge and Rey Mysterio were briefly WWE Tag-Team Champions in 2002 when they beat Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit to win the titles in a 2 out of 3 falls match. Their title reign only lasted a few weeks and they were beaten at Survivor Series 2002 to Los Guerreros.

The two went their separate ways shortly after thanks to Mysterio having to take time off due to injury.

#1. The Rock and The Undertaker

The Rock and The Undertaker

The Attitude Era was the wildest era in pro wrestling history. During the Attitude Era, The Rock and The Undertaker briefly formed a tag-team on RAW. The year was 2000 and The Rock and The Undertaker were both feuding against the McMahons. On an episode of RAW in December 2000, The Great One and The Lord of Darkness teamed up to challenge the WWE Tag-Team Champions - Edge and Christian.

The Rock ended up winning the match for his team after pinning Christian following the People's Elbow. Despite winning the titles, The Rock and The Undertaker found it hard to coexist. Their brief run lasted less than a week as they lost the titles back to Edge and Christian in the rematch. Their run was so brief that a lot of fans have forgotten that The Rock and Undertaker were once Tag-Team Champions.
