#3 Cesaro and Sheamus - WWE RAW Tag Team Champions (2018)

From mid-2017, the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships began to bounce back and forth between two teams - Cesaro and Sheamus and the team of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.

In the build-up to the 2018 Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Ambrose had been injured at the hands of Samoa Joe, leaving Rollins without a tag team partner. Because of this, Kurt Angle, who was the RAW General Manager at the time had Jason Jordan team up with Rollins.

Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan managed to defeat Cesaro and Sheamus on a January episode of RAW to win the WWE RAW tag team titles, and the championships were to be contested again at the 2019 Royal Rumble.

During the match for the title at Royal Rumble, Cesaro and Sheamus managed to overpower their opponents by leaving Jordan unable to compete and then they performed a White Noise and diving neck breaker combination on Rollins to become WWE RAW Tag Team Champions once more, on Sheamus' birthday, no less.

As a team, Cesaro and Sheamus (who for some time were dubbed The Bar) were hugely successful and together were five-time tag team champions, having won the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship four times and the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship once.
