7 Teams that should have never won the Tag Team Titles

#4 David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty

Oh, the New Nexus. It was a second iteration of the group, post-second season of the original version of NXT. CM Punk had taken control of the band of ragtag misfits for his own personal gain, but some of them had personal gains of their own.

The dreadfully dull team of NXT Season 2 rookie Michael McGillicutty and NXT Season 1 rookie David Otunga won the tag titles in May of 2011.

The team defended the titles two times, once successfully defeating The Usos (back when they were a pair of under pushed kids) in July, and on their second defence, just days later, lost the titles to Zack Ryder and Santino Marella.

Wow. WWE has a pretty rough history with tag teams, huh?

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
