Ranking the SmackDown Live Era Tag Team Champions from worst to best

#8 The Wyatt Family

The Wyatt Family used the Freebird rule as well

Back when Bray Wyatt was known as 'The Eater of Worlds' and the leader of The Wyatt Family, he formed a tag team with Randy Orton to win the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. The duo secured the belts at TLC 2016 by defeating Heath Slater and Rhyno.

Their brief 23 day teaming was a lively one, as the chief target of the storyline was to develop conflict between Wyatt and his ardent disciple Luke Harper. The Wyatt Family dropped the titles to American Alpha on the last SmackDown Live episode of 2016.

#7 American Alpha

American Alpha has been disbanded

It was surprising when WWE disbanded one of the hottest tag teams of 2017 NXT. American Alpha had been one of the elite teams of SmackDown Live in the 2016-17 season, as Jason Jordan and Chad Gable carried their momentum from the developmental territory to the main roster.

WWE pushed them as a powerful tag team and gave them the SmackDown Tag Team Championships before 2017 began. American Alpha held the straps for 83 days before losing them to The Usos ahead of WrestleMania 33. The most famous match of their title reign was the Tag Team Turmoil Match that had taken place at Elimination Chamber 2017.
