When the Tag Team Titles were introduced, there was a separate division for tag teams as they were famous for their unity and ability to work together. Tag teams are the mainstay of current WWE programming, and they always have an important place on the roster.

In the 90s, the wrestlers were more interested in achieving individual glory, and winning the Tag Team Titles were a mere step in that right direction.

The current tag division of WWE is packed and has a number of talented wrestlers teaming up to compete for the titles. WWE has been focusing on creating tag team specialists in the company, such as The Usos, The New Day, and War Machine, we certainly have seen some talented tag teams crop up and make a name for themselves in the company.

We also have seen some odd couples paired together to offer something different to the company.

Here are 5 odd tag teams who won the tag team titles.


#5 Triple H and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

By 2000, Triple H had established himself as one of the main stars in the company, and Steve Austin's popularity peaked the next year. When Austin joined forces with Vince McMahon and his allies, it resulted in Triple H and Austin teaming up and facing the Brothers of Destruction for the tag team titles.

Austin's WWE Title and Triple H's Intercontinental Title were also on the line but Kane and The Undertaker weren't able to retain their Tag Team Titles.

Austin and Triple H walked out with all the gold after beating the Brothers of Destruction. They had all the gold around their waist, however, their dominance did not last long as Triple H soon tore his quadriceps and their team was disbanded.

#4 The Rock and the Undertaker

The Rock was on his way to becoming one of the biggest stars during the Attitude Era while The Undertaker had firmly established himself as one of the greatest stars. The Rock and The Undertaker were often seen going at each other's throats.

The fans were shocked when The Rock and The Undertaker joined forces to capture the tag team gold in 2000. They were even more surprised when The Rock and The Undertaker walked out with the Tag Team Titles. Their reign didn't last long as the duo dropped the Tag Team Titles to Edge and Christian the very next night on SmackDown.


#3 Bret Hart and Goldberg

When Bret Hart and Bill Goldberg are mentioned in the same breath it is often discussed how Goldberg ended Hart's career.

Bret and Goldberg were Tag Team Champions at one point in WCW. When they won the Tag Team Titles, Bret Hart already was the WCW Champion and Goldberg was on the verge of challenging him for the same. Their reign did not last long as the duo lost the Tag Team Titles the very next week to The Outsiders.

At Starrcade, Goldberg challenged Bret Hart for the WCW Championship. In the match, Goldberg connected with a kick that resulted in a severe concussion which led to Bret Hart to retire from pro wrestling.

#2 Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel

Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel are former Raw Tag Team Champions. The duo stayed in The Miz's shadow for years and when the A-lister was drafted to SmackDown Live, it gave Dallas and Axel a new lease.

The fans didn't expect the duo to make an instant impact as they didn't see potential in both the stars. The company could still help the duo salvage their respective careers by giving them the right push.

Axel and Dallas shocked the WWE fans when they won the Tag Team Titles from Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy. Wyatt and Hardy were expected to have a long meaningful run with the titles but management decided on them dropping the titles to the B-Team.


#1 John Cena and Batista

In 2008 the fans wanted to see a showdown between Cena and Batista. Both stars found themselves at the top of the mountain almost at the same time and were embroiled in a battle for supremacy.

However, before their match at SummerSlam 2008, Cena and Batista were booked to take on Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. for the Tag Team Titles. The fans were left surprised when the duo managed to win tag team gold.

Cena and Batista walked out of Raw as the new Tag Team Champions. They had to defend the titles the very next week and as everyone had predicted they eventually turned on each other resulting in DiBiase and Rhodes walking out as Tag Team Champions.
