"No, I am the WWE Tag Team Champion!!"

Daniel Bryan and Kane will always be remembered for showing great charisma and comedic chops during their segments.

After becoming extremely violent during a feud that also involved then WWE Champion CM Punk, Raw General Manager AJ Lee sent Kane and Bryan for anger management classes.

The classes with Dr Shelby were ever entertaining with him attempting to have them hug it out, which they did happen to do eventually. Despite arguing in almost every match, the strange partnership somehow worked and they reached the top of the tag division while also winning gold along the way.

The dysfunctional team hilariously bickered over who 'the tag team champion' was and became fan favorites over time, holding the titles for 245 days.

They may have been named 'Team Hell No' by the WWE Universe, but they definitely got a pretty resounding 'Hell Yes' from the fans, and are one of the most popular mismatched duos of all time!


#1. The Rock 'N' Sock Connection

From 1998-99, The Rock and Mick Foley engaged in an absolute war for the WWE Championship, and if you look back, there are countless memories to cherish from the iconic rivalry.

If you told a fan a decade ago that the men who fought in the classic 1999 I Quit Match would team up together and become 3-time tag champs, they probably wouldn't believe you.

From rivals to reluctant partners, a legitimate friendship was formed based on mutual respect between two wrestlers who couldn't have been more different from one another. While their reigns weren't long, they remain one of WWE's most memorable tag teams of all time. The unforgettable 'This is your life' segment garnered the highest ratings in Raw history, which is a testament to their popularity and impact.

While the success was short-lived for the fans' liking, the Rock and Foley managed to create magical moments as a tag team and did enough to etch their names in the history books as all-time greats.
