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

#1 Edge (with Chris Jericho)

In 2009, Edge and Chris Jericho were both on the WWE SmackDown roster. At The Bash 2009, Jericho and Edge competed in a Triple Threat match which was contested for the Unified Tag Team titles. The heelish duo defeated The Colons and The Legacy to win the belts. During a live event, Edge suffered a torn Achilles Tendon while competing against Jeff Hardy. He took a hiatus to recover from his injury, while Jericho replaced Edge with Big Show.

Edge came back at the 2010 Royal Rumble and ended up winning the free-for-all. He retired a year later, courtesy his neck injury. Edge made a miraculous return at the 2020 Royal Rumble PPV and later engaged in a fierce rivalry with Randy Orton.

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.
