7 unlikely alliances that formed in WWE in 2019

Tag Teams are a fundamental piece of the pro wrestling business. Without it, every wrestling event is incomplete.

Not only do the competitors inside the ring need to have chemistry with who they're facing, but they also need to have even more of it with the man or woman that's in their corner. The trick of getting that balance just right is likely why the success and popularity of tag team wrestling is never a constant in WWE.

A lot of the time, creating that perfect team isn't as simple as putting together two Superstars that seem like a good fit for one another.

However, some tag teams were like the coming together of the north and south – as the paired WWE stars were polar opposites of each other. These combinations were indeed insane and despite the lack of co-ordination, these tag teams ended up entertaining the WWE Universe.

2019 has been an year where we've seen many unlikely alliances inside the squared circle. In this article, let's take a look at 7 tag teams we never expected to see in WWE.

#7 Shane McMahon and The Miz

The WWE Universe never could have predicted The A-Lister and The Best In The World coming together. Last year at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, The Miz faced Dolph Ziggler in the WWE World Cup. However, The A-Lister got injured during the match and could not continue to wrestle.

Eventually, Shane McMahon came out to replace The Miz in the match to save SmackDown from a humiliating loss. McMahon went on to win the tournament which led to The Miz asking McMahon to team up with him.

After a whole month of persuasion by The Miz, Shane finally agreed to be The Miz's partner at the end of 2018. Their official run as a tag team started this year, and they even went on to win the SmackDown Tag titles.

However, their team did not last long, as McMahon turned on The Miz and gave him a vicious beating after they lost the titles. Their rivalry went as far as facing each other at WrestleMania this year.
