10 Thrown-Together Tag Teams that Really Worked

#5 Tyson Kidd and Cesaro

2015 gets one of its coolest possible finishers.

Kidd and Cesaro are another thrown-together team whose success was tragically cut short (although not to the extent of Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett).

Lasting just a few months in the spotlight, Kiddaro formed in December of 2014 with both men finding little success in WWE's crowded midcard (though, to be fair, with WWE World Champion Brock Lesnar off television, everything in late 2014 was the midcard).

The tandem quickly got over with their combined technical style and highly entertaining tandem moves, like combining Cesaro's crowd-pleasing Big Swing with a vicious Kidd basement dropkick. They also brought fans into their well-speculated backstage positioning, wearing custom-made "Brass Ring Club" gear to the ring in January with short-lived ally Adam Rose; the gear featured a parody of the Bullet Club logo which played on Vince McMahon's favorite phrase of "grabbing the brass ring," referring to his preference for superstars who forced their own success by seizing every opportunity onscreen and being vocal about their desires offscreen.

Thankfully, Adam Rose would be gone from this picture before long; unfortunately, the great custom t-shirt would disappear, too.

Kidd and Cesaro won their only tag team gold in February of 2015 at Fastlane, holding the belts until losing them to The New Day at Payback in the spring; their last pay-per-view pairing came at Elimination Chamber, where they failed to leave the first-ever tag team Elimination Chamber match two-time champs.

Tyson Kidd found himself acting as enhancement talent for recent signee Samoa Joe when Joe's signature Muscle Buster maneuver left the former Dungeon trainee severely injured; Kidd has not wrestled since, and his career looks to be over, unfortunately.
