What happens when you combine one of the most successful Tag Team Champions with one of the most accomplished singles champions? The answer is a recipe for success. When Randy Orton and Edge came together so did their collective championship reigns holding either World, WWE, Intercontinental and Tag Team gold. When Edge approached Randy Orton to defeat Degeneration X what materialized was a tandem that was able to focus all their collective energy towards a tandem that could be considered 'power-hungry' themselves.

On November 13th, 2006, Randy Orton and Edge defeated Ric Flair and Roddy Piper to capture the World Tag Team Championship. They held the titles for 77 days. Edge and Randy Orton eventually captured the WWE Tag Team Championships themselves. Both men have main-evented as singles competitors themselves and this duo made for a formidable team.
