5 best Tag Team specialists on WWE's current roster

In professional wrestling, there are mainly two kinds of wrestlers. Those that succeed in singles action and those who excel more in tag teams. Among those wrestlers lies another category: The Tag Team specialist.

These are wrestlers who are able to adapt their styles so well, that they can succeed with a multitude of different partners. Because of this ability to adapt, most Tag specialists end up branching out into singles competition down the line or at times, are even primarily singles wrestlers who wrestle in the tag division from time to time.

In this list, we will run through the 5 best Tag specialists on WWE's current roster.

Mild disclaimer: To qualify for this list, each superstar must currently be employed by WWE and their tag division success will be kept strictly to their achievements within WWE.

On that note, let's begin.

#5. Chad Gable: 4 Tag Title wins with 3 different Tag Team partners

One half of the current RAW Tag Champions, Chad Gable is one of the few men to have held the RAW, SmackDown and NXT Tag Team titles. Unlike the others on this list, the head of the Alpha Academy is still primarily a tag wrestler.

Since his NXT debut in 2015, Gable has featured in numerous teams. Initially starting off as one half of the popular American Alpha, Gable and his then partner Jason Jordan won the NXT Tag Titles once. Upon being called up to the main roster, they defeated The Wyatt Family for the Smackdown Tag Title.

After Jordan was sent to RAW in 2017, Gable teamed up with Shelton Benjamin. Although the team showed promise and continued to pursue the Tag Titles, they were not successful.

Gable himself was sent to RAW in 2018 and formed a somewhat thrown-together team with Bobby Roode. Despite the seemingly random pairing, they managed to win the Raw Tag Titles and remained together until Gable was drafted back to Smackdown in 2019.

After spending over a year on Smackdown in a slightly disappointing singles role, Gable formed the Alpha Academy with Otis. Initially a comedic duo, they soon transitioned into credible heel threats and developed quite the chemistry. Otis' raw strength and newly intimidating demeanor complimented Gable's loud mouth and technical expertise.

Upon being drafted to the red brand, the Alpha Academy secured themselves a victory for the RAW Tag Team Championship over RK-Bro. This victory truly solidified Gable's status as a true Tag specialist.

Although the Alpha Academy will terrorize the RAW Tag Division for some time to come, should the circumstances call for it, Gable will have no issue finding another partner if necessary.

#4. The Miz: 8 Tag Titles With 5 Tag Team partners

The Miz is one of WWE's most decorated superstars and has achieved respectable success in both singles as well as Tag Team competition. With an impressive eight Tag Titles to his name, Miz has worked with an eclectic band of Tag partners.

Of all his partners, Miz has worked most frequently with John Morrison, with whom he won three of his eight Tag Titles. The Miz and John Morrison were well known for their comedic antics outside the ring but had no problems taking care of business against the best WWE had to offer at the time.

Miz has also won the Tag Titles with The Big Show, Shane McMahon, Damien Mizdow and even John Cena. Miz and Cena's Tag Title reign is noted to be the shortest in history, lasting a mere nine minutes after the Corre invoked their rematch clauses immediately after losing the title.

Miz's Tag Teams have covered it all. Whether they were heels, faces - serious or comedic - they were successful. Even his alliances with the likes of Alex Riley and R-Truth propelled him to the top of the card despite not winning the Tag Team Championship.

Although primarily a singles star now, Miz is able to seamlessly transition in and out of various teams. Only time will tell when he will find himself another partner to win a ninth Tag Team Championship.

#3.Edge: 14 Tag Titles with 6 Tag Team partners

Few in the industry have been able to make the transition from the Tag division to singles superstardom like Edge. Although known to newer fans as a multi-time World Champion, Edge's many, many successes as a Tag Team wrestler still hold a place in the hearts of many.

Most well known for his legendary Tag Team with Christian, the two partners captured an impressive 7 Tag Team Championships and re-defined the very concept of Tag Team wrestling with their impressive showings in TLC matches. However, unlike his old friend, Edge has found success with a whole host of other partners.

Aside from his pairing with Christian, Edge has held the Tag Team Championship with the who's who of WWE's greatest Superstars. These legendary names include Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho and even the Immortal Hulk Hogan.

In addition to the sheer star-power of these tandems, Edge has also shown his considerable ability as a capable tag wrestler by being able to compliment the various different styles of the men whom he has allied with.

These days, Edge seems to be primarily focused on singles competition. Despite that, his performance at the 2022 Royal Rumble in a mixed Tag Team match alongside his wife Beth Phoenix has shown that the Rated-R Superstar has not lost a beat when it comes to working with someone else in a match.

Be it a longtime friend, rising up-and-comer, esteemed legend or even his own wife, Edge has shown himself to be an extremely valuable Tag Team partner.

#2. Kofi Kingston: 14 Tag Titles With 5 Tag Team partners

With his stellar performances over the past decade, it is not an overstatement to call Kofi Kingston one of the best Tag Team wrestlers in history. With a record 11 reigns alongside The New Day, Kingston is also a one third part of the longest reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE history with an amazing 483 day reign.

What sets Kingston apart from his New Day stablemates is his success as a wrestler prior to the formation of the iconic trio. In addition to his 11 reigns with Big E and Xavier Woods, Kingston has also held tag gold with Evan Bourne, R-Truth and CM Punk.

Like Chad Gable before him, Kingston is still primarily involved in the tag division. But unlike Gable, Kingston has been able to branch out into significant singles success as well.

That being said, Kingston has always shined brightest when working with a partner. Kingston has proven time and again that he can be a success in any partnership he is put in.

#1. Seth Rollins: 6 Tag Titles With 5 Tag Team partners

From the get-go, Seth Rollins, just like his fellow Shield teammates, was always destined to be one of WWE's biggest singles stars. However, he has found more than his fair share of tag team success since breaking away from The Hounds of Justice.

Rollins has held tag gold with both his former Shield brothers, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, in three separate title reigns. Aside from that, he has also held the Tag Team Championship with Braun Strowman, Buddy Murphy and Jason Jordan.

With his eclectic list of partners, Rollins has basically done everything to cover every angle that comes with being in a Tag Team. He has won the titles as both a face and a heel, worked together with close allies, disciples, rivals and even feuded with his certain partners while holding the Tag Team Championship. Rollins has even been able to make the most random of pairings work to the best of his ability.

Rollins is able to shine for his ability to effectively integrate the majority of his Tag Title wins into his single runs. Rollins is able to remain a credible single star while at the same time elevating his partner and the titles. He is also known for having won the Tag Team Championship with every partner he's ever had in WWE and for that reason, he tops this list.

While Rollins seems quite firm in the main event picture at the moment, a budding alliance with Kevin Owens and Rollins' own winning track record may hint towards there being one more Tag Team title run in his midst.
