6 WWE main eventers that became successful tag teams

#5 Triple H and Shawn Michaels

As part of Degeneration X, Triple H and Shawn Michaels were a successful tag team let alone faction

This pairing is a combination of two men that are best friends in and out of the ring, but though they were tag team partners off and on over the years, they weren’t always both main eventers. When they first teamed, there was a clear distinction between them, as Triple H was a mid-card talent while Shawn Michaels was a focal point as the WWE champion. After Michaels stepped away from the ring for a few years because of injury, Triple H became a focal point and the main event player.

However, when they teamed once again, they were both in pursuit of championships and seen as equals. They were both multiple-time champions and had many memorable moments as Degeneration X.

Yes, other members of the faction captured tag team championships, but most notably this combination captured the WWE tag team championships when they defeated the team of Chris Jericho and the Big Show.
