5 released WWE Superstars who became champions this year

#4 Former WWE Superstars Gallows and Anderson became IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions

Gallows and Anderson last appeared in WWE during the main event of Night One of WrestleMania 36. They featured in the Boneyard Match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles. They were released just weeks later.

They are no doubt one of WWE's most underrated tag teams and could seriously have been one of the company's best tag teams of the modern era. Instead, it seemed like WWE was unsure how to use them correctly, and in the end their time with Vince McMahon's promotion wasn't meant to be.

Better known as The Good Brothers, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson signed with IMPACT Wrestling. They announced they had signed two-year contracts and would appear at the infamous 2020 Slammiversary pay-per-view, which saw a number of talent make their debuts and returns.

It wasn't long before they were on top of the tag team division as they defeated The North to win the tag team gold at the Turning Point event later that year. They won the titles for a second time at the 2021 Slammiversary pay-per-view, winning a Four-Way Tag Team match.
