5 WWE Tag Team Champions who have faced off in a one-on-one match 

#3. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels

Steve Austin faced Shawn Michaels as part of the King of the Ring pay-per-view back in 1997

Two of WWE's biggest singles stars of the 1990s were also able to lift the WWF Tag Team Championships back in 1997. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels were able to defeat Owen Hart and The British Bulldog to win the titles for the first time, in the spring of 1997, but despite Michaels and Austin being Champions at the time there was animosity between the two men throughout their reign, so it was decided that they would face off at the 1997 King of the Ring pay-per-view in order to reveal who the captain of their team was.

The match between the two men was one of the matches of the night, but shockingly it ended in a double disqualification so the WWE Universe were none the wiser when it comes to who the real captain was.

Michaels and Austin were forced to relinquish the Championships a just a few months later when Michaels was suspended from the company following a real-life backstage altercation with Bret Hart which was well documented at the time.
