5 WWE Tag Team Champions You Forgot About

#4 Kofi Kingston & R-Truth - 2012

Tag Team of The Year?!!

Another tag team Kofi Kingston was just put in for something just to be relevant on TV during a time where singles pushes were few and far between.

What separated Kofi Kingston and R-Truth from other tag teams on this list is they actually managed to take in the accolade of Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Tag Team of The Year for 2012. Even so, when they are mentioned as having been Tag Team Champions, it is still a reign many fans will reply with ''Oooh yeah!'' After being reminded.

The Kingston and Truth alliance began just a few weeks after Kingston's team with Evan Bourne had ended. Much like that team, they just randomly started teaming together, and before long, were mixing it up in the Tag titles scene. Kingston and Truth had a couple of unsuccessful Championship pursuits before finally defeating Primo and Epico on the April 30 episode of RAW in 2012 to lift the Tag Team Championships.

Kingston and Truth would have successful defenses over Primo and Epico, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger, The Prime Time Players and others, before losing the titles to Daniel Bryan and Kane at WWE Night of Champions, after just about a four and a half month reign. Following an unsuccessful rematch for Kingston and Truth, it was announced on the October 8 episode of RAW that they had mutually decided to part ways as a tag team.
