Over the years, we've seen many teams go on to win the WWE Tag-Team Championships. Some managed to carve out a legacy for themselves, while others faded away as a tag-team.
There have been tag-teams who wrestle together and are specialists in tag-team wrestling (like The Acolytes and The Dudleyz) while others are thrown together as an experiment.
In this article, let's take a look at 6 WWE Tag-Team Championship winning teams who most fans have forgotten about. This list includes CM Punk and a current favourite on SmackDown Live as well as John Cena and a recently returned star on RAW.
#6. John Cena and David Otunga
David Otunga and John Cena have to go down as one of the most random tag-teams in WWE history. However, just because they got together willy-nilly doesn't mean that they didn't find short term success.
After being forced to join the Nexus in 2010, John Cena was made to tag with David Otunga to face the WWE Tag-Team Champions - Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes - at that year's Bragging Rights PPV. To no one's surprise, John Cena and Otunga won the match. However, they dropped the titles on the following night to fellow Nexus members Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel.
#5. The Big Show and The Undertaker
Soon after the Big Show joined the WWE, he joined forces with none other than The Deadman. The union between the 500-pound behemoth and the Undertaker was called the Unholy Alliance, and of course, they were managed by Paul Bearer.
The Undertaker and The Big Show won the WWE Tag-Team Championships twice but their run together came to a premature end after Undertaker got injured following SummerSlam 1999.
#4. Flair and Piper
The Spirit Squad were some of the top heels in WWE in 2006. This was before they were shipped back to OVW by DX.
Leading into Cyber Sunday 2006, Kenny and Mikey of the Spirit Squad were Tag-Team Champions and defended their titles at the PPV against WWE Legends Ric Flair and the late Roddy Piper. Piper and Flair beat their younger opponents to win the titles. This would be Roddy Piper's last title win in the WWE.
#3. The Rock and Chris Jericho
On the October 22nd, 2001 episode of Monday Night RAW, we saw Chris Jericho (undisputed champion at the time) and The Rock join forces. They challenged the Dudley Boyz for the WWE Tag-Team Championships.
After a hard fought match, The Rock hit D-Von Dudley and pinned him to win the match and the tag-titles for his team.
#2. John Cena and Batista
John Cena and Batista were set to face each other at SummerSlam 2008. Then WWE RAW GM Mike Adamle had the brilliant idea of trying to get them to co-exist and booked them in a match for the WWE Tag-Team Championships on the August 4, 2008 episode of RAW against Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiasie jr).
To be fair, Batista and Cena won the titles on the night but lost them 7 days later in the rematch on the next episode of RAW.
#1. Kofi Kingston and CM Punk
For some younger fans who may not remember, CM Punk and Kofi Kingston are former tag-team champions. They are actually also good friends in real life.
On the October 27th, 2008 episode of RAW, Kofi Kingston and CM Punk beat Ted DiBiasie Jr and Cody Rhodes to win the WWE Tag-Team Championships.
