5 WWE Superstars who were once Tag Team Champions with current AEW stars

#2 Bray Wyatt (with Brodie Lee)

Bray Wyatt made his way to WWE's main roster on the road to SummerSlam 2013, with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan by his side. He defeated Kane in his first match at SummerSlam. Wyatt won the WWE title on the road to WrestleMania 33 but lost it to Randy Orton at The Show of Shows.

During Orton's stint with The Wyatt Family, he and Bray Wyatt won the Tag Team titles at TLC 2016, with help from Luke Harper. Mere days later, it was announced that Harper had been sanctioned as the Tag Team Champion as well. This made him eligible to compete in Tag Team title matches and defend the belt under "Freebird Rules".

Orton and Harper later lost the belts to American Alpha in a Fatal Four-Way Elimination match on an episode of WWE SmackDown. While both Orton and Wyatt are currently two of the top Superstars on the WWE roster, Harper is competing in AEW and has donned the moniker of Brodie Lee. He made his debut back in March, and was revealed as the leader of The Dark Order.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
