This past Sunday, Smackdown Live announcers Tom Phillips, JBL and Byron Saxton made reference to The Usos entering rare company by becoming four time Tag Team Champions in the WWE, naming a handful of iconic tag teams that have accomplished that feat. But how well does that rank against the most universally decorated World Tag Team Champions of the industry? While they still join an elite class of talent, they’re much further down the list that it would appear if you thought they were somewhere near the top.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the 30 most decorated Tag Teams in all of professional wrestling in comparison to The Usos four WWE Tag Team title reigns.<\/p>\n

NOTE: Only World Tag Team Championships are considered for this\u00a0comparative\u00a0study, so territorial tag\u00a0titles or smaller regional independent tag titles are not considered<\/em><\/p>\n

So, yes. The Usos are in pretty good company. They’re tied in 26th place with some esteemed colleagues, and behind some absolute legends. Who knows? By the time their career ends, they may move a little bit higher on the list.<\/p>\n
