The Best WWE Tag Teams of All Time: Ranking the Top 10 Greatest Duos 6b1c1s

We’ve ranked the top 10 best WWE tag teams of all time.

Tag team wrestling has always played a crucial role in the success and storytelling of WWE. From the chaos of the Attitude Era to the technical brilliance of the Golden Era, WWE has been blessed with countless amazing tag teams.

Many of WWE’s biggest stars, like Shawn Michaels, Edge, and Jeff Hardy, got their start in the tag division before becoming main event singles competitors.

Whether you were drawn in by the Hardy Boyz’ high-flying antics or the power of Demolition, some tag teams just changed the game.

But which WWE tag teams are the best of all time?

Top 10 Best WWE Tag Teams of All Time 1e2f3k

• Total Championship Reigns: 6
• Longest Reign: 125 Days (WWF Tag Team Championship; November 1997-March 1998)

The Attitude Era was wild, chaotic, and unforgettable – and the New Age Outlaws were right at the heart of it. As part of D-Generation X, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn brought personality, crowd connection, and swagger to the tag division.

With six WWE Tag Team Championship reigns, they were pretty dominant and certainly entertaining. Their entrance alone, with Road Dogg’s iconic mic work, became a staple of late ’90s wrestling, and fans still know it word-for-word today.

• Total Championship Reigns: 3
• Longest Reign: 478 Days (WWF Tag Team Championship; March 1988-July 1989)

Long before The Usos and The New Day were setting records, Demolition held the WWE Tag Team Championship for an astonishing 478 days – the longest reign of its time. Their look was distinct and memorable: face paint, leather, and a no-nonsense, smash-mouth style.

Often compared to the Road Warriors, Demolition carved out their own legacy as one of WWE’s most imposing duos during the golden era of the late ’80s and early ’90s.

• Total Championship Reigns: 1
• Longest Reign: 294 days (WWF Tag Team Championship; April 1986-January 1987)

Technically gifted and physically impressive, the British Bulldogs were ahead of their time. Davey Boy Smith brought raw power, while Dynamite Kid delivered cutting-edge speed and technical brilliance.

Their matches against The Hart Foundation set a new standard for tag team wrestling in the WWF during the mid-’80s. With the beloved mascot Matilda by their side, they were fan favourites in both the US and the UK.

• Total Championship Reigns: 2
• Longest Reign: 165 days (WWF Tag Team Championship; August 1991-February 1992)

Few tag teams in history have matched the sheer dominance of the Road Warriors – also known as the Legion of Doom. With their post-apocalyptic look, spiked shoulder pads, and thunderous power moves, Hawk and Animal were trailblazers.

They’re the only team to win tag titles in the AWA, NWA, and WWF, and their iconic “What a rush!” entrance gave fans goosebumps. They made every match they had feel like it was a war.

6. Edge and Christian 5w705u

• Total Championship Reigns: 7
• Longest Reign: 91 Days (WWF Tag Team Championship; June-September 2000)

Edge and Christian redefined tag team wrestling during the Attitude Era with their combination of charisma, comedy, and innovation.

Multiple-time WWE Tag Team Champions, they were at the heart of WWE’s legendary TLC matches alongside The Hardys and The Dudleys. Their “five-second poses” became a cult classic, and their in-ring chemistry set them apart.

Even after splitting, both went on to have Hall of Fame-worthy singles careers.

• Total Championship Reigns: 8
• Longest Reign: 622 Days (SmackDown Tag Team Championship; July 2021-April 2023)

What started as a colourful high-flying act has evolved into one of the most compelling tag teams in WWE history. Jimmy and Jey Uso have dominated the modern era, holding the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles longer than any team in history.

Their work in The Bloodline storyline added incredible depth to their characters and helped elevate the entire tag division. With over a decade of excellence, The Usos have earned their place among the greats.

• Total Championship Reigns: 2
• Longest Reign: 274 days (WWF Tag Team Championship; January-October 1987)

This legendary duo combined technical brilliance and raw power like no other. Bret Hart was the cerebral technician, while Jim Neidhart brought the brute force. Together, they formed a perfect tag team balance and were two-time WWE Tag Team Champions.

Their battles with teams like The British Bulldogs and Demolition helped set the tone for tag team wrestling in the late ‘80s. Bret’s eventual rise to singles greatness only further highlighted the team’s pedigree.

• Total Championship Reigns: 10
• Longest Reign: 84 Days (World Tag Team Championship; September-December 2003)

Whether it was ECW, WWE, TNA, or anywhere in between, the Dudley Boyz left a trail of broken tables and championship belts in their wake.

Known for their brutal style and unforgettable catchphrases (“D-Von, get the tables!”), they became the first tag team to reach 10 championship reigns in WWE history.

They were also instrumental in the rise of hardcore tag wrestling, and their role in WWE’s TLC classics secured their legacy as all-time greats.

• Total Championship Reigns: 11
• Longest Reign: 483 days (WWE Tag Team Championship; August 2015-December 2016)

Few teams have reinvented themselves and the tag team division quite like The New Day.

Starting off as a gospel-inspired group, they transformed into one of WWE’s most beloved factions. With unmatched chemistry, comedic timing, and consistent in-ring work, they shattered records.

They are the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in history, and they have the most tag team championship reigns too, with 11.

Now playing dastardly heels, their ability to stay fresh over nearly a decade is nothing short of remarkable.

The New Day have come a long way. It's pretty cool that they are the greatest WWE tag team according to WWE. They have worked so hard for several years. pic.twitter.com/uXkWzY8Lkw

• Total Championship Reigns: 9
• Longest Reign: 63 days (World Tag Team Championship; April-June 2007 and Raw Tag Team Championship; April-June 2017)

At the top of our list are the daredevil brothers who defined a generation – Matt and Jeff Hardy.

With death-defying stunts, innovative ladder matches, and undeniable charisma, The Hardy Boyz took tag team wrestling to new heights – literally. Their matches against The Dudleys and Edge & Christian are legendary, especially during the TLC era.

Beyond the high spots, their connection with the fans and resilience through multiple comebacks cements them as the best WWE tag team of all time.
