6 unlikely WWE teams which won Tag Team titles despite feuding

#4 The Rock and Mankind

The Rock didn't want anything to do with Mankind, but that didn't stop the team from becoming Champions.

Outside of Steve Austin (and perhaps Triple H), no one had a more memorable rivalry with The Rock in the Attitude Era than Mick Foley, who wrestled as Mankind at the time. From late 1998 to early 1999, the two legends engaged in an absolute war over the WWE Championship, trading the title back and forth between one another numerous times.

There were countless memorable moments between the two such as The Rock’s heel turn at Survivor Series 1998. On an episode of RAW in August 1999, The Rock extended a challenge to the World Tag Team Champions, The Undertaker and Big Show.

Taker and Show had been attacking Rock in recent weeks and The Great One had enough, which led him to challenge the duo to a handicap match later on in the show. The odds were firmly against The Rock, but help appeared in the least likely of forms, when his old enemy Mankind offered to help The Rock in his quest.

Whilst the duo's feud had come to an end some months before, they were still presented as enemies up to this point, and it was with reluctance that The Rock accepted Mick’s help. This decision paid off for The People’s Champion, as a double People’s Elbow later, The Rock and Mankind were champions as The Rock and Sock Connection was born
