5 Weirdest Tag Teams Matchups in WWE

Tag Team matchups are generally created based on the compatibility of the wrestlers in consideration. From physical strength to style and charisma, a great tag team requires it's wrestlers to merge well. WWE tag teams such as The Hardy Boyz, The Usos, The Dudley Boyz and Edge and Christian are testimonies to this theory.

However, sometimes tag teams come along that are so out of the left field that one has to wonder how creative even came up with the idea of putting them together. All through WWE history, there have been some downright odd tag teams that have been surprisingly successful and some that failed miserably. These match-ups include everything from a lower card and upper card teams to a seven-foot monster collaborating with a man half his size.

With Team Hell No back in play for the WWE tag team titles, let us take a look at some of the weirdest alliances that have taken place in the WWE history.

5 Team Hell No

Team Hell No reunited at Smackdown.

Let's start with the current contenders for the tag team championships, Team Hell No. Starting out as a comedic act, this team went on to be a huge success with the audience and winning the titles to boot. This tag team originated when AJ Lee forced Daniel Bryan and Kane to attend anger management class, putting them together as a tag team to work through their issues. This led to some hilarious segments with the two trying to manage their anger and more often than not failing to do so.

WWE must have realized this team's potential because they soon beat R-Truth and Kofi Kingston to become the new tag team champions, each boisterously declaring “I am the tag team champions”

With last Smackdown's announcement of Team Hell No going against The Bludgeon Brothers at Extreme Rules for the titles, we hope to see more of this wacky but undeniably successful and entertaining duo.

4 Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt

One is an egomaniac touting himself as a god. The other is a "Woken" oddity.

Starting out as bitter rivals, these superstars were way more similar than any other entry on this list. Creepy, sadistic and slightly unsettling, some might say that these two were bound to end up as a tag team. The reason this team up was such a surprise? They were engaged in a rivalry just weeks prior to this team up and showed every sign of despising each other. It was slightly lazy on the part of WWE creative to just blend the two together because their rivalry was running out of steam.

The weirdness of this match-up is more it's senselessness rather than having to do with the superstars involved.

The Raw segment with Brother Nero looks promising though and maybe there's still hope for The Deleters of Worlds.

3 Stone Cold and Dude Love

You only need to look at Stone cold Steve Austin and Dude Love to know why this was a weird match up. A beer-guzzling redneck and a tie-dyed shirt wearing hippie? We do not have to tell you how the odds were not in their favor.

At first sight, this seemed like a comedic team-up conjured to kill time till the injured Shawn Michaels made his return. Nobody expected them to win the titles and even retain them for months. Despite their vastly different styles, Steve Austin and Dude Love were an incredibly formidable tag team. The wacky shenanigans of Dude Love combined with The Rattlesnake's no-nonsense hard hitting style made them a force to be reckoned with.

This iconic pair up was short lived though as Steve Austin suffered a severe neck injury soon after, forcing them to vacate the titles and ending this tag team. It was a regrettable incident which almost ended Austin's career and cut short what might have been an entertaining and long lived tag team.

2 Braun Strowman and Nicholas

Strowman and Nicholas took on The Bar at WrestleMania 34

The bizarre is just getting started. Next up on the list is Braun Strowman and a 10-year-old kid named Nicholas. Determined to prove that he could defeat The Bar himself, Strowman picked a 10 year old fan to be his partner. He then went on to fight Cesaro and Sheamus in what was unofficially a handicap match, winning the tag team titles for himself and Nicholas. Thus making Nicholas the youngest WWE tag team champion in history.

Braun and Nicholas appeared on Raw next week and announced that they were vacating the titles as Nicholas was only in the fourth grade and had to go to school. They did promise that they'd be back once Nicholas gets out of school, so maybe we haven't seen the last of this strange tag team yet.

Nicholas also happens to be the son of referee John Cone who was officiating the match between The Bar and Braun Strowman.

1 Shawn Michaels and "God"

God makes his way into the WWE ring at Backlash 2006

As far as Tag teams are concerned, it doesn't get much weirder than this. Vince McMahon once thought it would be a good idea to enlist God as Shawn Michaels' tag team partner for their match at Backlash 2006. This went on to become one of WWE's most infamous bookings. Shawn Michaels' faith and strong Christian beliefs were common knowledge, so Mr. McMahon found it only fitting that at Backlash, HBK should team up with God in a tag team match to face himself and his son Shane.

Naturally, when it came to wrestling, God didn't have much to contribute and Michaels basically ended up in a handicap match with Vince and Shane McMahon. Despite having God in his corner, Shawn lost the match.

It was a bizarre angle and borderline sacrilegious. This is one matchup we are sure we will never see again, especially with the new family-friendly PG era in place.
