5 WWE Tag Team Champions You Forgot About

#1 Cody Rhodes & Drew McIntyre - 2010

Kept them busy for a cup of coffee

Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes didn't seem to be in the worst positions in 2010. In fact, it seemed like McIntyre was about to skyrocket. Drew McIntyre had been labelled on TV by Vince McMahon himself as his 'Chosen One', and quickly backed this up by winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and being a pretty prominent Champion.

While Cody had just wrapped things up with The Legacy faction and fans were excited to see where he was going to go. Post-summer after some various feuds, the two seem to hit a roadblock creatively, so what to do with them? A tag team, but of course.

Both men were having mini-feuds with Matt Hardy and Christian by Summer's end and were teamed up on SmackDown to defeat them in a match. They were then decided to be kept together, and would very quickly become the WWE Tag Team Champions at the Night of Champions event.

They held the titles until WWE Bragging Rights the following month when they dropped them to John Cena and David Otunga, and that was it. They ended their partnership right after, as McIntyre abandoned Cody during a tag team match with Kofi Kingston and the Big Show, and they went their separate ways in the following segment.

They existed as a team to pretty much just to have something to do until creative could come up with something else for both or at least one of them.
