The duo of Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder could very well be considered as an underrated duo that wasn't used to their full potential in WWE.

Commonly known as The Major Brothers, the duo of Ryder and Hawkins made their main roster debut in 2007, but it was their alliance with Edge that put them on the WWE map in the first place.
Under the guidance of The Rated-R Superstar, Hawkins and Ryder became a part of the La Familia faction, consisting of the likes of Chavo and Vickie Guerrero, and turned heel for the first time in their careers.

Following their dissolution though, both Hawkins and Ryder focused on their singles careers up until 2019, when they finally reunited and went on to challenge The Revival for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 35.
The reunion paid off at The Grandest Stage of Them All when the duo of Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson were beaten and subsequently, Hawkins also ended his 269-match losing streak at the biggest annual WWE show of the year.
