10 Teams You Forgot Were WWE Tag Team Champions
How about those mid-2000's huh?
8. Rikishi & Rico
Well, wasn't this all quite the pointless endeavour?
In the spring of 2002, Rikishi was feuding with World Tag Team Champions Billy and Chuck, who were managed by their 'personal stylist', Rico.
Heading into the title match at Judgment Day, Rikishi didn't have a partner, with Vince McMahon picking a surprise one for him.
He picked Rico, basically turning things into a 3-on-1 handicap match where the Samoan superheavyweight had to fight his own partner, too.
But - quelle surprise - Rico's meddling actually backfired and he found himself as champion.
The storyline only lasted a couple of weeks, with one defense on television, before Billy and Chuck won them back. And everyone moved on with their lives. And nobody ever spoke about it again.
There was really no point in this reign, as it didn't lead anywhere and only served to cool off Gunn and Palumbo as they were starting to gain some steam.
