The New Day Tops WWE 50 Greatest Tag Teams’ List

WWE has named the 50 Greatest Tag Teams in the history of the company. The whole list was published through a series of episodes, available on Peacock and the WWE Network with the fifth and final one airing, last night. One such list was previously published that was dedicated to selecting the top 50 Greatest Women’s Superstars of all time.

Now, this new series was aired on Peacock/WWE Network hosted by Breezango’s Tyler Breeze and Fandango, who were released from the company just last week. Apart from picking the top 50 WWE tag teams, a segment was also there that featured teams from WCW/NWA and ECW, such as The Outsiders, Doom, The Pitbulls, The Koloffs, Sting and Lex Luger, The Freebirds, Sabu, and Rob Van Dam, The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, The Midnight Express, The Hollywood Blondes, Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood, Harlem Heat, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard.

Big E reacted to topping Greatest Tag Teams’ list

Big E, one-third of The New Day took to Twitter after the announcement as he reacted to The New Day being named the number-one of all the greatest tag teams in WWE history.

Big E was seemingly grateful for his partners, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston who bet on themselves to excelling on their characters,

“I know many will disagree with the list but being named the greatest tag team of all time makes me reflect on our journey. I’m massively grateful for @TrueKofi & @AustinCreedWins. I’m thankful we bet on ourselves & were unafraid to pursue a path that felt right for us.”

Kingston and Woods have not commented on receiving the number-one spot as of this writing, but Woods re-tweeted the comments from his teammate Big E.
