WWE tag team partners who share a Fevicol ka Jod

There was once a time when the names Edge and Christian and Hardy Boyz were synonymous with tag team wrestling in WWE. Even today, those tag teams are looked at with great reverence and regard for their unbreakable bond inside and outside the ring, apart from their incredible success.

For fans of WWE, it was pure, unbridled joy and excitement to see one of the greatest tag teams of all time, The Hardy Boyz return to the fold in 2017 on the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania and win the tag team titles. The telepathic understanding and coordination they exhibit in the ring is extremely impressive to watch and helps offer an insight into what made them one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history.

Success in tag team competitions hinges on the chemistry between two people as one of the wrestlers is always the brains of the operation and the steadying influence while the other provides the flair and provides the necessary thrust to defeat their opponents. This is a formula that worked for some of the greatest tag teams of the last 20 years including Edge and Christian, the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boyz.

The Hardy brothers enjoyed an epic rivalry with both Edge and Christian and the Dudley Boyz, as they battled across multiple different formats and for many years, enthralling fans with their ability to elevate their performances on a big stage. The teamwork displayed by these tag teams was exemplary as they revolutionised the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match format.

Three teams that thrived on high-octane performances involving dangerous risks, the athleticism and commitment to the cause shown by them helped breath some much-needed life in to the tag team division and established them as three of the greatest ever teams thanks to their unbreakable bond and solid personal relationship.

Brothers in real life, Matt and Jeff Hardy have always been competing together in tag team competitions, making their chemistry and understanding very natural. They have relied on their coordination to repeatedly fight in high-flying, full of thrills, adrenaline-pumping matches. Their eccentric personalities and ability to feed off of each other and support one another was a big reason they succeeded as a tag team.

Dudley Boyz

Edge and Christian are two of the most decorated wrestlers of all time in both tag team and individual competitions, and their rivalry with the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boyz brought them into the limelight initially. Childhood friends who entered WWE together, Edge and Christian established themselves as charismatic, engaging young wrestlers who instantly had a strong connect with the fans. Their energy, spontaneity and ability to innovate in matches made them possibly the greatest ever tag team in the WWE and they won seven tag team titles to cement their place in history.

While the Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian were agile, explosive wrestlers who used their athleticism to the hilt, the Dudley Boyz depended a lot more on their team work and coordination to become one of the most successful tag teams of all-time. They used their power and precision to perfection, and combined it perfectly with their love for extreme moves and thrills, becoming one of the pioneers of the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match format. With eight tag team championships in the WWE, they are the most successful team ever in company history, bringing their understanding to the forefront, showing why their partnership was akin to a Fevicol ka Jod, i.e. unbreakable!

Teams from the past like Legion of Doom and the Wild Samoans established themselves as two of the most dominant tag teams in WWE history, using their friendship, ability to back each other up and working chemistry to win a lot of titles. Teamwork, great ring presence and combination moves characterised their reigns at the top, with their eccentric outfits and personalities adding to their legend.

The Usos

Currently, the Usos are possibly the best tag team across all WWE brands, with brothers Jimmy and Jey Uso using their athleticism, winning mentality and explosive combination moves to great effect. Their chemistry and solidity are two prime reasons for their success, with the duo having won the tag team title on five occasions.

To be a great tag team, there has to be great chemistry and unity between the partners, and some of the all-time greats have shown that apart from talent, an unbreakable bond goes a long way in helping achieve domination in tag team competitions.
