#5 Charlie Haas and Rico
They held the belts for two months in 2004, shortly after Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin were broken up by the brand split. Shelton went on to defeat Triple H on RAW, and Charlie went on to partner with Rico and his soon-to-be wife Jackie Gayda.
In another nod to how weak the tag team division was, they won the titles very shortly after becoming a team and defended them against the likes of the reunited partial team of Almost Too Cool, Rikishi and Scotty II Hotty. That’s another team that shouldn’t have existed at all.
In any event, it was a bumbling error, they lost the titles to the Dudley Boyz after a short stint, and were broken up as a team almost immediately. SmackDown had a rough period in the spring and summer of 2004.
