WWE: 7 Tag Teams Who Could Improve the Division

Kofi Kingston and R-Truth winning the Tag Team Championship will hopefully kick start a rebound for the division, but they can’t do it alone.

More teams need to be added into the mix to fully reinvigorate fans’ interest in this division.

The Usos are certainly entertaining.

If they were a smidge more high-flying, they’d be loads better. That, and they need more air time.

Epico and Primo have talent, but their whiny personae aren’t catching on well enough.

Besides those two teams, who else is there?

Think about the teams who dazzled fans at the division’s best period. There was the Hardy Boyz, Edge and Christian, the Rock and Sock Connection and Too Cool.

Each was exciting and fun to watch.

They had remarkable connections to one another and added thrills to tag-team matches.

Here are seven tag-team partnerships who could—like Kingston and Truth—add intrigue to the division.

More from These Two Teams

There are two tag teams out there already that hardly wrestle together.

The first is Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler.

How often do they seriously wrestle as a tag team anymore?

The majority of fans want Ziggler to rise back to the top. Most feel the pairing of Ziggler and Swagger are hurting both wrestlers.

It’s not the partnership that’s hurting. It’s the under-utilization.

The pair needs to make a run at the Tag Team Championship. They need to wrestle with each other—rather than hide behind each other—and they need to do it for longer than two minutes.

The second is Darren Young and Titus O'Neill.

Fans got a flash of these two together, and they did very well.

So let's see more.

The two had something going with one another. They clicked well and performed as well as can be expected.

The WWE needs to let them take it to the next level and compete more frequently.

The New Age Outlaws

There hasn’t been two men who connected better with each other while maintaining their roles as tag-team competitors than the New Age Outlaws.

With most other tag teams, one or both men rise to become superstars (Edge, Christian and Jeff Hardy, for example).

Road Dogg and Billy Gunn were perfect as mid-carders. They were perfect as partners.

It’d be a tough sell.

Both men are in their 40s, and they’d have to return without the DX portion to the shtick.

But the history and intrigue the two would bring would have fans caring about the division that much more.

The Dudley Boyz

The Dudley Boyz are another old-school team that would draw fans back into the tag-team division.

The “brothers” were fantastic.

They had chemistry, strength and impressive duel moves.

They were hilarious as faces, and even though we loathed them as heels for bullying the rest of the roster, most of us still loved them.

The best part of the Dudley Boyz was their tenacity for putting opponents through tables. In the PG-Era, that might be difficult, but it’s still worth a shot.

Even at their age, they can still bring the pain.

Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio

While most want a long, drawn-out feud between the two masked men, pairing them together would be equally exciting.

When Edge and Christian and the Hardy Boyz weren’t slamming each other through tables or leaping off ladders, they kept fans entertained through high-intensity displays of athleticism.

Sin Cara and Mysterio could easily maintain energy and excitement.

It would be nonstop action out of the two.

The Big Show and a Partner

Before Kofi Kingston became tag-team champions with R-Truth, I was going to suggest pairing him with The Big Show.

Show's feud with Cody Rhodes is over.

I'd say Show did a fine job of keeping the Intercontinental title relevant.

Now—with nothing else—the WWE should use Show to revamp the tag-team division.

He's been partnering with the Great Khali lately. But I hesitate in suggesting that duo.

Two big men don't flow well together for too long.

A big man paired with a high-flyer provides a little bit of everything.

For Show and Kingston to work, R-Truth would likely have to turn heel and form his own tag team.

Show works well with faster-paced guys.

He's effectively tagged with Chris Jericho and The Miz.

If not Kingston, Show could be utilized with someone like Zack Ryder or Rey Mysterio when he returns.

Both teams would be entertaining.

Evan Bourne and Justin Gabriel

Call it "Air Boom 2.0" if you want.

Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne were exciting together. That is, until Bourne was injured.

Now with Kingston holding the tag titles with R-Truth, it does provide for an easy storyline.

Bourne returns from injury, disappointed that Kingston moved on.

He puts together a new tag team—with Justin Gabriel—to challenge for the titles and spice up the division.

Mark Henry and The Miz

Hear me out.

Mark Henry isn't really doing anything right now.

After looking fantastic in the ring with CM Punk, the WWE instead gave Punk's next feud to Daniel Bryan rather than Henry.

That leaves him—once again—feudless.

Meanwhile, The Miz is slowly making a comeback (hopefully).

The two could partner together, "angry" at the world and ready to destroy anyone who gets in their way.

The pairing could work splendidly.

Mark Henry plays the role of the enforcer, while The Miz acts as the team's mouthpiece, spouting off about how awesome they are.

Henry would back those claims.
