#1 – WWE SmackDown's Roman Reigns and WWE NXT's Tyler Breeze

This is easily the most surprising tag team on the list. WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Tyler Breeze were the FCW Tag Team Champions at one point in their career.

The unlikely duo was known as Roman Leakee and Mike Dalton during their time in FCW and won the tag titles at a Live Event in June 2012. They did not manage to hold on to the titles for long, as CJ Parker and Jason Jordan beat them at another live event.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

Leakee and Dalton were the FCW Tag Team Champions for just 28 days, but just a month after dropping the titles, FCW belts were discontinued.

Roman Reigns and Tyler Breeze have had contrasting careers in WWE, and it is unlikely fans will see them as a tag team again. While the Tribal Chief has won the WWE tag titles once, Breeze has only managed to win the tag titles in NXT.

Roman Reigns is undoubtedly the better performer of the two, and it is not a surprise that he has held the gold several times in WWE.

The former Shield member has won the WWE Championship three times. He has also lifted the WWE Universal, Intercontinental, and the United States titles on the main roster.
