It's a cute name, but are the Miz and Shane McMahon really the best tag team in the world?
#8. The War Raiders

The War Raiders won the NXT Tag Team titles in an amazing match with the Undisputed Era at Takeover: Phoenix
Rowe and Hanson might just look like a couple of guys with beards and tattoos, but once they get in the ring, you can quickly see why they are a special tag team. They don't have a combination of a small guy and a big guy or two guys who are just extremely athletic like the Bar.

What they do have is chemistry and a powerful set of moves that few teams in WWE have been able to duplicate over the last few years. Hanson is deceptively agile and quick while Rowe often surprises you with his strength and transitions.
If you watched any of there NXT tenure or even just the recent match in which they won the NXT Tag Team Titles, you'll see what I'm talking about. The duo was so good before WWE that it got them noticed. Before WWE, the War Raiders were a fixture in ROH and partially NJPW.
While they might become a dominant team as NXT Champions, here's hoping they don't go the way of Sanity, The Ascension or the Vaudevillians once called up to the main roster.
