5 Dumbest WWE tag team names

3 ‘Rybaxel’

These guys actually had a storyline reason to be teaming, but the creative team didn’t care.

Here we have another thrown-together tag team, this time being composed of former Paul Heyman Guys Ryback and Curtis Axel. These were two guys that had been aligned with one of the most influential people in wrestling history (and arguably WWE’s best speaker), yet somehow found themselves floating aimlessly in WWE’s mid-card.

Here’s an idea: if their whole gimmick at the time was that they had been left behind by Heyman, why not work that into their tag team name? Was it necessary to be so lazy and combine their two names into a random word that, like ‘Foxsana’, does not make sense? How hard would it have been to say, ‘these are two ex-Heyman guys, and they’re mad about being dumped by their former manager’.

At least in that scenario, there’s a story and logical reason behind them teaming together. By calling them simply ‘RybAxel’, it makes them sound like just another thrown-together tag team about whom WWE’s creative department does not give a damn.
