#4 Heath Slater and Rhyno's forgotten tag team title reign
If you had told me a year ago that Heath Slater would become one of the most popular acts of 2016, I probably would have called you crazy.
In fact, he was the only active Superstar to not be drafted to either Raw or SmackDown Live, yet he tried his hardest to earn himself a contract and he won over the audience in the process.
At Backlash, the makeshift duo of Slater and Rhyno came together to become the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team champions, and it was an amazing moment. They had decent feuds with The Usos and The Spirit Squad shortly thereafter, but beyond that, they were largely left off of SmackDown during the remainder of their reign as champions.
Once they dropped the straps to The Wyatt Family, that was all she wrote for Slater and Rhyno. They came up short in their rematch for the twin titles two days later, and although tension was teased between the two stemming from that loss, it was never acknowledged again.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
