There are some WWE Superstars seemingly lost in the shuffle who need a change of scenery. They could find that change in the tag team division. WWE’s landscape constantly changes, especially in the tag team ranks.
It looks like there could be a major overhaul coming soon to the division. There are some storylines and backstage rumours pointing towards some major splits for teams such as The Deleters of Worlds, The New Day, The Show (Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre), Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, and Rusev Day.

There soon could be room for some new teams to emerge in the tag team division. Teams that could provide an opportunity for some WWE Superstars lost in the shuffle. Teams that could be stepping stones to greater things down the road for them. With that said, here are five tag teams WWE should consider forming.
5. Apollo Crews & R-Truth
Apollo Crews has struggled to connect with WWE fans and Titus Worldwide has done nothing to change that. R-Truth is a very accomplished tag team wrestler who has a ton of charisma. At this point in his career, Truth is far better off in a tag team.
Forming a tag team with the entertaining and talented veteran might be what Crews needs to get over with fans. Crews is very talented in the ring but his failure to connect with fans will never allow him to reach his full WWE potential. A tag team with Truth might be exactly what he needs to reach it.
4. Mojo Rawley & Mike Kanellis with Maria Kanellis
Mojo Rawley and Mike Kanellis are both talented WWE Superstars struggling to stay relevant. Both have been mostly absent from WWE television and pay per views. Kanellis is a veteran who has been unable to climb out of WWE obscurity.
Both have had relative tag team success in the past; Rawley with Zack Ryder and Kanellis with The Kingdom in Ring of Honor. Rawley is in a major slump after some initial solo success. With Maria Kanellis in their corner, they could make a solid heel tag team; one that could help them be relevant in the always competitive WWE.
3. Big Cass & Baron Corbin with Drake Maverick
Big Cass and Baron Corbin are two of WWE’s most imposing figures. Together they undoubtedly would be WWE’s most imposing tag team. Cass could probably use a return to tag team competition to help shake off the ring rust from his time on the injured list. Corbin has really struggled to get over with WWE fans. Both have also struggled to cut promos and could use a mouthpiece.
Putting these two in a tag team with Drake Maverick as their manager would make a lot of sense. Pairing two giants in a tag team with a small manager is a formula that has worked in the past; The Skyscrapers (Sid Vicious & Dan Spivey and Mark Callous aka The Undertaker & Dan Spivey) managed by Teddy Long were very successful in WCW.
2. Jason Jordan, Chad Gable, & Shelton Benjamin
Before being injured, Jason Jordan’s single run was being met with lukewarm responses from WWE fans. Jordan, like Cass, may need a return to the tag team ranks to hone his persona and knock off the ring rust. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin are both gifted wrestlers but flying solo hasn’t gone well since their tag team dissolved.
When Jordan returns from injury, it would make a lot of sense to put these three together in a heel tag team. They could use a shooter mat wrestling gimmick similar to The World’s Greatest Tag Team or The Varsity Club; both successful teams from the past. The shooter faction gimmick has been the subject of WWE rumours in the past but maybe now is the time to make it a reality.
1. Bobby Roode & Tye Dillinger
Bobby Roode & Tye Dillinger would be a very interesting team for WWE to consider. This team has an explosive history in NXT. Roode recruited Dillinger to be his partner in the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Classic then promptly walked out on him during the first match of the tournament. It led to a brief feud between the two.
Roode is currently caught up in a mid-card feud with Elias that he is losing. Dillinger is another WWE Superstar trapped in a rut. WWE should revisit their old story from NXT with a new tag team resulting. Roode could attempt another partnership with Dillinger. Over a few weeks, Dillinger would be rightfully sceptical and refuse the offers before the team is finally formed.
If these hypothetical tag teams became reality, they could be a path to greatness for one or more of these WWE Superstars. WWE legends such as Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and The Undertaker have their roots in the tag team division. Who knows if they would have had the same success without The Rockers, The Hart Foundation, or The Skyscrapers.
