The hottest free agent in sports entertainment. This became quite the statement during Slater’s
mission to win a WWE contract. The same mission which landed him a gore from Rhyno, a vicious
beatdown by Brock Lesnar and a merciless attack from Randy Orton. After
Slater’s numerous failed attempts to grab a Smackdown LIVE contract, he was then offered
a spot in a tournament for the newly instated WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships, if he
found a partner, and luckily for him, Rhyno offered to be that guy. This formed Beauty
and the Man Beast with Rhyno being beauty (of course) and Heath being the Man Beast…
The duo would then go on to become the inaugural Smackdown tag team champions defeating The
Usos. But fast forward to now, it’s a shame to see Slater and Rhyno being heavily underused.
Let’s just hope WWE pushes the two of them soon because I don’t know if you guys know
this but Heath Slater’s got kids! And Rhyno… He just needs some cheese, whizz and crackers!
Since the Fashion Files started, it is arguably one of the most entertaining segments on Smackdown
LIVE currently. As cheesy as it may be, the show is genuinely funny and involves Tyler
Breeze and Fandango acting as detectives to try and attempt to solve mysteries. The amazing
chemistry of the duo first came about when the two made a surprising double turn and
attacked R-Truth and Goldust. Originally the teams were The Gorgeous Truth consisting of
R-Truth and Tyler Breeze and GoldDango consisting of Goldust and Fandango. However, during a
tag team match on Smackdown, Breeze and Fandango turned on their partners after Truth and Goldust
refused to fight each other. After Breezango’s heel run, they would eventually turn face
and adapt the Fashion Police gimmick. A gimmick that is best described as weird yet entertaining.
It’s very clear that many fans do not like Jason Jordan and it’s no surprise especially
when he is saying things like this… But to be fair to the kid, his unusual partnership
with Seth Rollins won him the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships after the two of them defeated
The Bar on the Raw Christmas Special. Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan first formed an alliance
after Rollins’ fellow Shield member, Dean Ambrose unfortunately suffered a triceps injury
rendering him out of action for 9 months! Tension started to build up when Jason Jordan
became too overzealous for Roman Reigns’ liking
causing Seth Rollins to interfere. A further wrench was thrown into the situation when
Jason Jordan caused his team which consisted of himself, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins
to lose against The Balor Club. Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins would later drop their tag
team championships to The Bar due to a neck injury Jordan was dealing with. And to add
insult to injury, Jason Jordan would go on to interrupt a Raw Tag Team Championship match
between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins vs The Bar by hitting both members of The Bar which
resulted in a DQ. By doing so we got to see Seth Rollins get very angry with his partner
and we got to see Jason Jordan get grounded by his daddy Kurt Angle!
Probably the most unusual pairing in this list is Rusev and Aiden English. The two first
got together when English allied with Rusev during a rivalry Rusev had been having with
Randy Orton. It was a weird pairing at first but fans slowly warmed up to Rusev and English
over the most important day in your calendars… Rusev Day! Sing it for me Aiden! On second
thoughts maybe hold your angelic voice for another time… It’s no secret that the
WWE universe loves Rusev Day… After all, every day is Rusev Day! Although the pair
have beaten the likes of The New Day and the current Smackdown tag team champions The Usos,
Rusev and Aiden English still have an unimpressive win-loss record to their name. It’s also
a shame to see the two not being able to capitalize on any championship opportunities especially
with the good chemistry that they have.
Consisting of Sheamus and Cesaro, The Bar, or should I say The Baaarrr, are 4-time Raw
Tag Team Champions that were formed all thanks to the help of Mick Foley’s shouting. Before
the formation of The Baaarrr, (OK I’ll stop now) Sheamus and Cesaro participated in a
best of seven series against one another which ended up in a draw (3-3) with the last match
resulting in a no contest. This pointless best of seven series was supposed to reward
the winner with a championship opportunity, however, Mick Foley decided to pair up Sheamus
and Cesaro as a team for a tag team championship opportunity in order to minimize the risk
of either one of them falling down the card. Although the two of them really did not get
on well with each other to begin with, they soon found themselves working on the same
page. Sheamus and Cesaro began referring themselves as The Bar using the slogan, we don’t just
set the bar, we arrreee the baaarrr. And now they have 4 Raw Tag Team Championships to
show for it! I’m sure Mick Foley is very proud right now!
