5 Weirdest teams that were Tag Team Champions

Within the world of WWE, Tag Team wrestling is a unique art. A singles wrestler knows exactly what they're doing, but the role of a tag team Superstar is to not only be capable but be capable of trusting their partner.

For some teams, this trust comes easy. Jimmy and Jey Uso grew up together, trained together, and fought together, so the pair has great trust. For some teams, however, this trust is difficult to establish, with many opponents often ending up on the same side.

Their journeys are often interesting ones, although fraught with many obstacles.

Here are the five weirdest teams that put their distances aside, to become Tag Team Champions.

#1. John Cena and Batista:

Cena and Batista were unwilling partners!

In the summer of 2008, these two megastars found themselves at odds, with both former champions claiming themselves to be the rightful number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Forced into a team together, the pair defeated Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase to win the World Tag Team Championships but lost the gold one week later back to the 2nd-generation stars.

Clashing at Summerslam, it was the Animal who emerged victorious, injuring Cena with a powerbomb during the match, showing there was no love lost between the former partners.

#2. Charlie Haas and Rico

Rico and Charlie Hass were an unlikely pairing!

harlie Haas was no stranger to tag team success when he was teamed with the flamboyant and unique Rico.

Already a former Tag Champion with Shelton Benjamin, Haas was scheduled to face Rico in April 2004, quickly losing by count out after being fazed by Rico's mind games.

A mere week later, the opponents were the new Tag Team Champions, with the flamboyant one using his sexuality to get in the head of Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi.

Although the team didn't last too long, the pairing of the excitable Rico and the uncomfortable Haas made for some entertaining viewing on the Blue brand.

#3. Steve Austin and Dude Love:

Steve Austin and Dude Love never lost the titles!

Stone Cold is one of the company's all-time badasses. Beer-drinking' and bird-flipping', he is the antithesis of the relaxed, mellow Dude Love.

So when the pair became Tag Team Champions, fans didn't know what to expect. Would these two great stars have greater success together, or would their egos cause them to implode?

In fact, the team remained tag champions for months on end, only forfeiting the titles when Austin got injured by Owen Hart.

It was a bizarre time but was truly enjoyable for the fans watching at home.

#2. Hulk Hogan and Edge:

Two generations came together to make an unstoppable force!

Two stars, two very different generations.

When Hulk Hogan wrestled the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 6, there's no way he knew that his future Tag team partner was watching in the crowd.

Yet on the July 4, 2002 episode of SmackDown, Edge and Hogan won the titles, defeating Billy and Chuck.

Edge described his time as Hogan's partner as a dream come true and has said his smile when Hogan and he raised their hands in victory as 100% genuine.

The pair would lose the titles just 19 days later, but it went to show that Hogan was a good sport when he returned in 2002.

#1. Kane and Daniel Bryan:

Team Hell No

remain

one of the most entertaining tag teams of all time!

One of the most popular teams in recent history, Kane and Daniel Bryan did not start off on the best of terms.

Originally opponents at Summerslam 2012, the pair won the Tag Champions a month later, with both men claiming to be both champions.

Despite their infighting, the pair were wildly successful, holding the titles for months on end.

The pair even retained the championships at WrestleMania 29, but eventually lost the titles to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules.
