Tag team wrestling has a special place in WWE. It allows the company to develop characters and explore new dynamics between individuals. Recent tag teams like The New Day and The Usos have upped the ante of WWE's tag division.
But, the WWE tag-team division seems a little thin at the moment. Jimmy Uso and Ivar's injuries have ruled The Usos and the Viking Raiders out of the mix. The New Day has been temporarily disbanded due to injuries to two Superstars, which has enabled Big E to enjoy a solo run. The Lucha House Party has been teasing tensions among its members while Heavy Machinery has taken a backseat due to Otis's singles push.
The pairing of Seth Rollins and Murphy, barely a tag-team, is likely to be broken up before long. Angel Garza picked up an injury during the Clash of Champions and its severity is unknown.
The tag-team division is in such dire straits that there seem to be no legitimate challengers left for the tag team champions on either brand. Raw's Street Profits have been feuding with Angel Garza and Austin Theory/Andrade since Wrestlemania, while Cesaro and Nakamura seem to be unchallenged on SmackDown after overcoming the Lucha House Party.
Fortunately, the Women's Tag Team division seems to be in better shape.
The upcoming WWE Draft could allow the company to freshen up the roster. WWE has a chance to introduce new pairings, so do not be surprised if some new alliances are formed sooner rather than later.
In this article, we look at five pairs of Superstars who could be an exciting tag team if given the chance:
#5 WWE's Giants: Braun Strowman and Dabba-Kato
A tag team with a combined weight of 735 pounds and combined height over 13′ 5″ - that sounds menacing.
Dabba-Kato and Braun Strowman recently duked it out on RAW Underground. There are not many wrestlers who can match the stature of The Monster Among Men, but Dabba-Kato did just that.
These two giants can form a tag team, the likes of which has not been seen since the Brothers of Destruction. Featuring them together would create waves in the WWE Universe and they ould be title contenders right from the get-go.
Throw in their history, and the two behemoths could attempt to one-up each other which will definitely be a sight to see.
#4 WWE's rivals: Murphy and Aleister Black
WWE seem to like pairing former rivals to form a tag team. Current Women's Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, and The Bar are recent examples.
In a similar vein, Murphy and Aleister Black could make an interesting tag team, as the two had incredible chemistry during their feud in early 2020.
Murphy looks set to break away from Seth Rollins, and Aleister Black has recently turned heel. These two immensely talented, brooding heels will make for an exciting tag team.
Both wrestlers could be future world champions but they need more time to be built-up in the main roster. Introducing them as a tag team will enable WWE to keep them away from the world title picture while still building them up as stars.
After Murphy's feud with the Mysterio Family and Aleister Black's rivalry with Kevin Owens is done and dusted, watching these two join forces will undoubtedly delight the WWE Universe. Their swift yet powerful ring styles can form a tag team that could be future tag title contenders.
#3 WWE's youngsters: Dominik Mysterio and Humberto Carillo
Dominik Mysterio and Humberto Carillo are perhaps the two WWE Superstars who could seamlessly be paired together. They are both fresh babyfaces who have continued to wage war against Seth Rollins's Monday Night Messiah faction, and they have impressed with their in-ring performances.
Add the fact that they both have Mexican heritage and have openly admitted to being inspired by Rey Mysterio, and you have a tag team that is meant to be.
But there is one contrasting aspect between the two. Dominik Mysterio is prominently featured on RAW while Humberto Carillo has been booked as an afterthought in recent times.
Both the competitors are still young (Dominik Mysterio is 23, while Humberto Carillo is 24) which means they could have a long career ahead of them. WWE pairing them as a tag team can lead to further character development, something Humberto Carillo, in particular, desperately needs.
WWE will need to carefully nurture Dominik Mysterio who has shown that he does not lack talent. Pairing him up with the Humberto Carillo will help elevate his game and add some much-needed character to both the youngsters going forward.
#2 WWE's powerhouses: Bianca Belair and Naomi
Bianca Belair and Naomi are perhaps the most athletic Superstars in WWE, let alone the women's division. Pairing them up would lead to a tag team that could potentially steamroll WWE's women tag division.
Bianca Belair recently entered the main roster and it would not make sense to immediately introduce her into the world title feud.
Naomi's support from the WWE Universe has seen her get a few more opportunities in the past couple of months and WWE would be looking for ways to capitalize on it. Forming a tag team between the two powerful individuals would certainly capture attention of the fans.
Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke formed a tag team recently, as did Lana and Natalya. Despite having a few challengers to their title, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler do not seem to be in any sort of danger. They are ruthless competitors and the existing women's tag teams in WWE just do not seem to have the ability to topple them.
Introducing Naomi and Bianca Belair as title contenders will lead to a compelling storyline. Assisted by a little dissension between Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, the newcomers could score an upset to become new WWE Women's Tag Team champions.
#1 WWE's hardest hitters: Andrade and Sheamus
Sheamus and Andrade have proven to be adept tag team wrestlers in the past. The two WWE Superstars do their best work when they are belligerent heels looking to cause pain. Most importantly, both wrestlers have offenses that are so realistic that fans at home wince whenever either of them lands a strike.
Right now, both these Superstars find themselves directionless; Andrade has lost both Zelina Vega and Angel Garza from his corner, while Sheamus' last featured prominently in the Intercontinental title scene, which has since been stacked with AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, and Jeff Hardy.
The WWE draft would be a great way to unite RAW's Andrade with SmackDown's Sheamus. What makes it even better is that the team will have a history with both of the current tag team champions. Andrade would love to finally claim the elusive Raw Tag Team Championships while Sheamus would not mind Brogue Kicking his former team-mate Cesaro, to begin his reign as SmackDown's Tag Team Champion.
This will provide WWE creative with options and freedom to chart out this dangerous duo's future. With WWE's tag division looking for fresh faces, the lethal duo Andrade and Sheamus could add aggression and depth that WWE needs.
