#4 The Young Bucks vs. The New Day
Did you know The Young Bucks and The New Day battled each other outside of wrestling?
While The Young Bucks cemented themselves as tag wrestling stalwarts on the independent scene, the trio of Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods made the most of their last chance when The New Day was founded in 2014. The creation of the faction helped to completely rejuvenate their careers.

The New Day can now look back on a run that has gifted them with accolades and honors, such as the WWE Tag Team Championship, which they held on many occasions. Kofi Kingston has since won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, Big E won and cashed in the Money In The Bank contract to capture his first WWE Title reign, and Xavier Woods has since been crowned King of the Ring.
With New Day, they don't just represent a tag team, they are a collective of champions that compete for the top gold.
The way New Day operates makes them a perfect fit with plenty of top tag teams. With the freedom of being able to work with a trio instead of a pair, The Young Bucks vs. New Day could consist of Matt and Nick vs. Woods and Kingston, Woods and Big E or Kingston and Big E. These possibilities offer up something unique for each potential bout.
Unless a forbidden door finds itself ajar, or we see an exodus of talent either way, New Day vs. The Young Bucks remains an impossible fantasy, both tragic and tantalizing for all of the potential possessed.
#3 The Young Bucks vs. The Bar
The Bar can easily find themselves lost in the shuffle when describing the greatest tag teams of recent history. Cesaro and Sheamus found themselves thrust into a marriage of convenience when RAW General Manager Mick Foley found a loophole in their Best of Seven Series for a title opportunity, in a very different story to the formation of The Young Bucks.
Instead of either man going for the US or Universal titles on RAW, they would conclude the series in a stalemate and receive an opportunity at the tag titles.
Sheamus and Cesaro are both insanely talented in-ring performers, and while The Celtic Warrior has captured world titles and can look back at a fruitful WWE spell, the tale of The Swiss Cyborg is of immense talent finding itself at the end of bizarre booking.
They meshed well as a team, and had classics with established tag teams like the Good Brothers, FTR (at the time known as The Revival), The New Day and The SHIELD.
Together they conquered the tag division, holding both the SmackDown and RAW Tag Team Championship titles, and quickly became a duo called upon by WWE whenever a top tag team was needed for an important storyline.
The Bar's growth to their position was organic and nothing felt forced, with both Sheamus and Cesaro loved by the WWE Universe.
The Young Bucks and The Bar share very different origins, with Cesaro and Sheamus having to build their bond through wrestling together after spending time as foes, Matt and Nick have always stood together. A clash between the two teams would be a tale of nature vs. nurture.
If The Young Bucks were to find their way into the WWE tag division, a program with The Bar, whether one-off or long-term, would serve well to highlight the very best of the four involved.
