WWE's current tag team scene is a complex place. You've got veterans, young Superstars, jobbers, and teams just waiting to break out. It's arguable that this is the best group of tag teams since the early 2000's with the Hardy's, Dudley's etc. WWE's recent brand split provided a opportunity for a lot of the tag teams to really showcase their talents and individuality, and they've done just that.

Although it's sometimes difficult to keep up with teams on all three major shows,(Raw, SmackDown, and NXT), it's still important to know that each team comes with it's own set of interesting tidbits and juicy stories. After some extensive research, we found interesting facts about the individuals that make up these tag teams. So here's a collections of the 30 things WWE wants you to forget about its current tag teams.

30 30. The New Day Was Originally Hated

WWE may or may not want to admit this, but The New Day stable wasn't always as over as they are now. In fact, the group faced some intense backlash when they debuted. But the criticism wasn't wrestling related, but more race related. There's been a long standing belief that unless you're name is The Rock, WWE assigns most of their black characters to play smiling, dancing, singing, happy go lucky characters. Or they turn serious black wrestlers into comedic black wrestlers. If you need proof of this theory, think R-Truth, Rich Swann, or Titus O'Neil. The Godfather and Viscera were both turned into pimps. Mark Henry became Sexual Chocolate. Shelton Benjamin died his hair gold, etc...

So when The New Day debuted with the black gospel church gimmick, they faced some harsh criticism. Not directed toward them, but at WWE in general. And it wasn't until they dropped that gimmick that they became superstars.

29 29. Mojo Rawley Would Still Be in the NFL if not for Injury

It's crystal clear when you watch Mojo Rawley wrestle that he's got a football background. His huge physique, football themed move set, and over-excitement are all dead give-aways. What you don't know is that Rawley, like many of his fellow wrestlers, played professional football. After going undrafted in the 2009 NFL Draft, Mojo was signed for a tryout with the Green Bay Packers and earned a spot on the team. He played in a game and racked up a few tackles, but would be waived in September 2009.

After his stint with Green Bay, Mojo signed with the Arizona Cardinals but was injured in training camp and placed on injured reserve. Mojo had the option to rehab and return to play, or work with the NFL's financial department due to his financial background. But he decided to become a wrestler and the rest is history.

28 28. Karl Anderson's Other NJPW Partner

By this point, WWE fans know that Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, who currently work as The Club in WWE, have been teaming together for quite a while and won Tag Team gold all over the world. But a little known fact about Machine Gun Karl Anderson is that Luke Gallows wasn't his only tag team partner in New Japan. Karl was apart of a tag team called "Bad Intentions" with WWE alumni Giant Bernard, better known as Prince Albert, Albert, or A-Train.

The two would dominate the New Japan tag scene and won the IWGP Tag Team Championship on one occasion. Anderson and Bernard had a successful run together that ended when Bernard re-signed with WWE in 2012. Under the name Lord Tensai, Giant Bernard wrestled a few more years before retiring and becoming the head NXT trainer.

27 27. Enzo Amore's Odd Jobs

It's pretty well known that many wrestlers have different paths that led them to the wrestling business. Most are former football players or bodybuilders. But every now and then you'll get a former school teacher, a college graduate, professional sports team dancer, etc. But Enzo Amore's past jobs have to trump all those professions, mainly because none of the have anything remotely to do with wrestling. And they're all pretty random.

Enzo has stated on multiple occasions that his past jobs helped him to get where he is today. Before training to become a wrestler, Enzo found work as a DJ for the New York Jets, a New York City piano mover (like the ones you see in cartoons) and the manager of a Hooters restaurant. That might explain Enzo's eccentric and over the top personality. Because while we toil away our nine to five positions, Enzo was busy living life.

26 26. Heath Slater is a Former FCW World Champion

While it might be a little difficult to believe, Heath Slater was once taken seriously in wrestling. Not in WWE of course, but in their lower tier promotion Florida Championship Wrestling. FCW was a training/developmental territory parented by WWE from 2007 to 2012. The company shut down in 2012, but not before sending many talents up to the main roster.

During Heath Slater's FCW run, he managed to win the Florida Southern Heavyweight Championship once, and the Florida Heavyweight Championship once. Slater was some memorable feuds with Jack Swagger, Tyler Reks, and  Justin Gabriel before being called up to WWE in 2010.

25 25. Cesaro's Rant

During the time of the Brand Split last July, many WWE Superstars wondered both professionally and personally where they would end up. It's reported that WWE brass kept a lot of the talent out of the loop in terms of where they would end up. When it was all said and done, Cesaro was drafted in the sixth round to Monday Night Raw. When asked about his feelings about his draft position, Cesaro seemingly went into work-shoot mode to express his frustrations.

"I had a feeling I should be drafted a little bit higher, I was hoping to be at least top ten." Not only was Cesaro upset about his draft position and the show he was drafted to, but he was also visibly upset about the use of authority figures on what was supposed to be a wrestling show. It's unclear how WWE officials felt about this rant, but thank goodness Cesaro hasn't seemed to receive any punishment for it.

24 24. Simon Gotch Fights With Sin Cara

One half of The Vaudevillians tag team, Simon Gotch, along with his partner Aiden English, were drafted to SmackDown last year as apart of the Brand Split. And reportedly it didn't take Gotch long to find trouble. According to various accounts of the story, Sin Cara and Simon Gotch got into a war of words and began to fist fight. However, it's been confirmed that Sin Cara got the better of Gotch and it apparently wasn't even close. One source described it as a 'one-sided destruction'.

With Gotch and English floundering on Smackdown, one has to wonder if this altercation has had anything to do with their lack of relevancy on television. To go from NXT Tag Team champions to SmackDown jobbers is a pretty steep fall from grace. At the same time, the Ascension basically did the same thing so maybe it's not that big of a deal.

23 23. Big Cass is Dating Carmella

Let's all take a minute to erase the current, horrible James Ellsworth storyline from our heads. Once we forget about that, we can point out the fact that Carmella is a very beautiful woman who just happens to be dating the seven-foot monster on Raw known as Big Cass. The two met while in NXT and began dating after being put in storylines together. Although it was implied that Enzo and Carmella had a thing, it was Big Cass who got the girl in the end.

Cass and Carmella weren't brought to the main roster at the same time, and didn't end up on the same show. However, their relationship seems to still be going strong. The couple spend time together whenever possible and their real life relationship can be found on Carmella's Instagram page.

22 22. Goldust's Original Character

Watching modern day WWE programming would have people to believe that Goldust is just a character who happens to enjoy dressing in a gold suit and wearing gold face paint. Similar to a guy like Sting or The Ultimate Warrior. But fans who have watched Goldust over the years know that that's far from the truth. Goldust debuted in 1995 as a bizarre, mysterious Hollywood character that was obsessed with Gold. The original Goldust character was very suggestive with a strong homosexual tone.

Goldust would often used his suggestive behavior to creep out, or get in the minds of his opponents. And seemingly, as time passed, Goldust became more and more bizarre. Although the Goldust character was controversial for it's time, it did create some memorable moments. Goldust had memorable feuds against Razor Ramon, Ahmed Johnson, Roddy Piper and Marc Mero in his early years.

21 21. Kofi Kingston is a Close Friend CM Punk

It's the name that WWE wants all it's fans to forget, and stop cheering at live events. CM Punk. WWE has done everything possible to try and move past the CM Punk saga and urges the fans to do the same. So it probably doesn't help that one of their current top superstars is still best friends with him. Kofi Kingston, of The New Day, has been good friends with CM Punk since around 2008. After being paired together on television, the two began traveling together and became very close.

Kofi has stated in interviews that he considers Punk to be one of his best friends and that he thanks Punk for taking him under is wing when Kingston first started. The duo also won tag team gold together at one point. Although CM Punk hasn't been around WWE for a few years now, his legacy seems like it wont be erased any time soon.

20 20. Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins Were The Edge Heads & The Major Brothers

While Zack Ryder has been making a name for himself the last few years as the Long Island bro, many people might not remember that he started off with a much different look, gimmick, and tag partner. Ryder made his debut in WWE with his tag partner at the time, Curt Hawkins. The duo sported long, blonde hair and were known as the Major Brothers. Together they had a short run in ECW during the year 2007.

A few months later, Hawkins and Ryder turned heel when they sided with World Heavyweight Champion Edge on SmackDown. They dressed like Edge and would often interfere in his matches. It worked for a while because both Hawkins and Ryder resembled Edge somewhat. This gimmick lasted for a short time before Hawkins and Ryder split from Edge, and then eventually went their separate ways.

19 19. Truth or Consequences

Although Xavier Woods is only 30 years old, he's been in the wrestling business for a long time. 12 years to be exact. During his earlier years, Woods spent some time in TNA Wrestling where he formed a short lived tag team with Ron Killings, aka R-Truth. Truthfully, they only teamed together once, due to Killings' scheduled partner (Adam "Pacman" Jones) being unable to compete. But they dubbed themselves 'Truth or Consequences' based on their names. Ron 'The Truth' Killings, and Consequences Creed, which was Woods' TNA name.

Fast forward to 2013, Creed debuted in WWE under the name Xavier Woods and was immediately placed in a team with his old TNA partner, R-Truth. The two never won Tag gold, but were placed in a very bad story line with Tons on Funk (Brodus Clay and Tensai). So essentially, Woods and Truth have teamed together in two different promotions. However, due to the success of the New Day, and the fact that R-Truth is a joke, WWE has no reason to mention their past alliances.

18 18. Fandango Upsets Chris Jericho

This is an issue that has bothered me for a while. When Fandango first made his WWE debut in 2013, he had some momentum. Sure the dancer gimmick was played out, but overall Johnny Curtis was a talented wrestler with a good look. At the very least, he could've been a serviceable mid card worker in the Intercontinental Title hunt. And I'm certain that WWE wants you to forget that Chris Jericho did the job to Fandango at WrestleMania XXIX.

A well respected veteran in the wrestling business such as Chris Jericho surely has seen a lot of talent come and go. And while Jericho has always seemed willing to do what's best for business, there's no doubt that he saw something in the Fandango character. He wouldn't have put him over at WrestleMania if he hadn't. Not to mention that brief period when Fandango's theme music was the #1 purchased song on iTunes. The fact that WWE has nothing for him is baffling.

17 17. Jason Jordan Could've Been Whatever He Wanted

Jason Jordan is a 28 year old wrestling prodigy. The man is a 6-foot-3, 245 pound freak athlete. After getting into amateur wrestling as a child by accident, it seemed destined that he would eventually end up in a WWE ring. However, people may not know that Jason Jordan has a lot more on his resume than just professional wrestling.

In high school. Jason Jordan was a standout football, baseball, and wrestling star. Jordan was drafted to the Major Leagues in Baseball straight out of high school, but declined the offer to wrestle for Indiana University's Division 1 wrestling program. During his time in college, he worked as a student coach for the wrestling team after going 35-0 in his senior year. And in addition to all of that, he received his bachelor's degree in biology with three minors. A minor in chemistry, social science, and medicine. His goal was to attend dentist school but he turned it down in favor of pro wrestling.

16 16. Luke Gallows Was The Fake Kane/Luke Gallows of SES

Before he was 'Being Mean and Making Green' with his partner Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows was a well traveled wrestler with plenty of stops. One of the stops includes WWE in the year 2006. Gallows' first stint in WWE began with him wearing Kane's old 1998 attire and beginning a feud with the real Kane. The two had a few weeks of action before settling their feud at the Vengeance 2006 pay-per-view. Gallows, as impostor Kane won the match, but was dropped along with the story line the very next night.

A few years later, after another bad gimmick that will be discussed later, Gallows re-emerged under his current name. Pledging his allegiance to CM Punk, Gallows joined the Straight Edge Society. Punk had created a stable of people pledging allegiance to him and the straight edge lifestyle. Along with Punk, Serena, and Joey Mercury, Gallows feuded with Rey Mysterio, Big Show and Kane before disbanding in late 2010.

15 15. Aiden English Married Eddie Guerrero's Daughter

Aiden English, who is one half of the Vaudevillians tag team, is married to Shaul Guerrero, aka the oldest daughter of Vickie and the late Eddie Guerrero. Just let that sink in for a minute. No disrespect to English, but he's not the first person you think of when you say, Eddie Guerrero's son-in-law. But it's true. Shaul and English tied the knot on January 3, 2016, making English an official member of the Guerrero family.

The couple most likely met during the time in NXT between 2012 and 2014. English was a force in the tag division while Guerrero worked under the name Raquel Diaz. Although Shaul combined runs in WWE weren't that long, it apparently was enough for her to find love. So congrats to them!

14 14. Jimmy Uso Has Been Arrested Twice

Being that WWE strives so hard to put forth a family friendly image and product, it's never a good look when one of their employees get arrested in real life. Especially when said employee is as popular and well known as Jimmy Uso. TMZ reported in 2011 that Jimmy had been arrested in Florida and charged with DUI. Uso was later released on $500 bond.

Two years later, Jimmy was again arrested in Florida and the original report was a second DUI. As we all know, two arrests for DUI wouldn't have been good for Uso. However, Jimmy's lawyer later came out and clarified. Apparently, Jimmy was arrested for driving with a suspended license, while on probation. Technically, this wasn't as bad as getting a second DUI, but still wasn't good. WWE has tried to sweep this under the rug and luckily it hasn't negatively affected the Uso's careers since then. They've held tag gold since then and been involved in major storylines.

13 13. Sheamus Was a Choir Boy

As I've mentioned a few times in this article, wrestlers sometimes take odd paths to get to where they currently are. And sometimes, a wrestler in real life is the complete opposite of their in ring persona. This was the case with The Celtic Warrior Sheamus. We've been able to see Sheamus as a tough, bruising, take no prisoners warrior since his debut in WWE. But a little known fact about him is that Sheamus sung in the Irish Boys choir as a teenager.

OK, go ahead and laugh. But it's true! The big, red haired dominant force known as Sheamus was a choir boy until the age of 13. Now, of course there's nothing wrong with this. Many young boys sing in the choir because their voices haven't fully developed yet. The funny thing is, Sheamus and boys choir seem like a complete contradiction to each other. It'd be similar to someone like Kane trying to get into politics............................

12 12. Rezar's MMA Record

Let's just be real. Professional wrestling is a sport where sometimes non-tough guys get to be tough and nobody will challenge that because that's just the way it is. However, throughout the history of pro wrestling, there have been several real tough guys that you just shouldn't mess with. Rick Rude, Haku, Brock Lesnar, just to name a few. So when Rezar and Akam debuted in NXT as The Author's of Pain, people took notice of their massive size, but probably didn't put much stock into their actual toughness.

Turns out that was a mistake. After doing some digging, we found out that Rezar, had a brief MMA career. At the young age of 18, Rezar had his first professional MMA fight. His career spanned two years, from 2012-2014, in which he tallied a 4-2 record before retiring to become a pro wrestler. Now, Rezar is one half of the NXT Tag Champions at the age of 22. Wow.

11 11. Heath Slater's Multiple Alliances

Heath Slater is a very talented wrestler. Although he doesn't often get to show, that doesn't change the fact that Slater is one of the more under-utilized talents on the roster. Even his popular free agent story line from last year wasn't enough to get him to be truly taken seriously. After a short tag title run with Rhyno, Slater has once again been moved to irrelevance. However, one thing that can never be said about Slater is that the creative team doesn't have any ideas for him.

Heath Slater debuted with The Nexus in 2010, by demolishing John Cena, CM Punk, and the entire ring area. About seven months later, Slater broke off with other members of the Nexus to form The Corre. After that he teamed exclusively with Justin Gabriel. In September 2012, Slater joined Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal to form the 3MB. Two years later, Drew and Jinder were released which forced Slater to team with Titus O'Neil, forming 'Slater Gator'.  After Slater Gator flopped, the Social Outcasts were formed and lasted up until the 2016 Brand Extension. Finally, as we all know, Slater ended up teaming with Rhyno and they're still going, kind of .
