Five tag teams WWE could form to challenge The Bar at WrestleMania

Co
Could two singles Superstars take The Bar's belts?

Sheamus and Cesaro were such credible singles Superstars that when the pair discovered some great tag team chemistry, they've become four-time WWE Champions and run through every single tag team on the Raw roster.

When thinking about WrestleMania, my initial thought after WWE announced that The Revival would not be the contenders, that a team from SmackDown Live or NXT may be the ones to "step up to The Bar" at Mania - but there's been a strong rumour that the team to go head to head with Sheamus and Cesaro may indeed follow in their footsteps as two singles guys who are "not yet a team" being thrown together.

So I've decided to look at Superstars who are not yet booked at WrestleMania, who could be paired up to face The Bar.

Disclaimer: Some are much more likely than others, and some are just fun teams I think would be cool together - but hey, challenging for the Tag Team Championships at Mania isn't to be sniffed at, so here are five pairs of wrestlers I believe would make great challengers for The Bar's gold.


#5 Baron Corbin and Aleister Black

Aleister Black and Baron Corbin would undoubtedly be a dominant team

Well, neither of these men play well with others, but I think they'd make an incredible tag team.

There's no doubting the aesthetic similarities and both men have a very similar demeanor, but the Lone Wolf is a Golden Gloves Champion and Black has a kickboxing background, so even their in-ring styles have at least some crossover - but enough difference that their styles could easily mesh to form a formidable team.

There's even a plethora of team names already made up - The Black Wolves, or The Wolves of Mass Destruction would be my favorite.

#4 Jason Jordan and Apollo

Jordan and Apollo would offer a very athletic challenge

Now, this one may not be the most exciting choice for everyone, but hear me out.

There's already a story there for Jason Jordan with The Bar. The last time we saw him, he actually attacked both men. Now, Jordan is expected to be back from injury just after Mania, but you never know...

Both Jordan and Apollo have all the ability and athleticism in the world, but their personalities don't come through so well on television.

Apollo, however, did enjoy a short run recently where his persona did show a little bit more in the ring - and being part of Titus Worldwide has definitely helped. So my solution to Jason Jordan struggling to get over as a singles talent? Have him join Titus Worldwide and let Titus and Dana Brooke do all the talking. Jordan is a tag team specialist being a former NXT, Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Champion and being paired with Apollo could do both of them a great deal of good!

#3 Goldust and Velveteen Dream

Goldust and Velveteen Dream could be a very entertaining team

Okay, so at first I thought of this one just for fun - but I'm not convinced it HAS to happen.

Shattered Dream Productions could do with a fresh, young Dream to become a blockbuster. There's no doubt these two men are the most flamboyant pair on the WWE roster and their eccentricity would make them an absolute delight to watch together.

Goldust has always found himself paired with unlikely stars such as R-Truth and Booker T, but he could indeed find his match in Velveteen Dream, and the potential for a feud between both men is incredible.

Also, it just fits - Golden Dreams, Dreams to Dust - I don't care what they're called, just take your pick and take my money!

#2 Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt

Okay, so from the flamboyantly bizarre to the downright strange. With Jeff Hardy still sidelined and their Ultimate Deletion Match rumored to be shown on a Raw rather than at WrestleMania, these two rivals could easily become allies and form one of the most impressive teams on the WWE roster.

Sheamus and Cesaro were paired up after a best of seven series, and these two men have had a much stronger grudge. You could easily pair both up in a way where one brainwashes the other - Broken Bray or Woken Wyatt, anyone?

Bray Wyatt has struggled to repeat his form from last year when he was WWE Champion, but enlisting the help of a tag team specialist could help him out to no end - and give these two guys the TV time they deserve without them having to face off against each other constantly.

#1 Elias and Braun Strowman

Get the band back together!

There was only one way to end this list - with potentially the two most over Superstars on Raw right now. Braun and Elias have had quite the storied rivalry and, while the last time we saw Elias, he was under a piano, having these two pair up could be incredible!

Imagine the lights going out and Elias starts his "concert", only for Braun to appear alongside him for a duet on the floor bass - or to play the piano along with Elias' rocking riffs and silky tones.

I think both men have incredible futures ahead as solo stars, but a short Tag Team Championship run would definitely be great fun between both these men.
