When you get into the wrestling business, the majority of wrestlers have the aspiration of competing in WWE and winning a World Championship. Several wrestlers have been fortunate to win a World Championship in WWE. However, whilst wrestling isn't just an individual sport, tag team wrestling is just as important. Some World Champions have managed to add a Tag Team Championship to their collection.
The likes of Edge and Jeff Hardy are prime examples of wrestlers who started as tag team competitors and won multiple Tag Team Championships before they went on to win World Championships. Moreover, some World Champions who won a Tag Team Title went on to become Triple Crown or Grand Slam Champions, but those who haven't won a Tag Team Title in WWE won't be losing too much sleep over it either.
10 Sgt. Slaughter
Sgt. Slaughter shocked the world when he defeated The Ultimate Warrior for the WWE Championship at the 1991 Royal Rumble. Slaughter turned heel, and he became an-Iraqi Sympathizer. Former WWE Champion Colonel Mustafa better known as the Iron Sheik, and General Adnan were his managers.
Slaughter was a transitional WWE Champion as he dropped the title to Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 7. Nevertheless, that was the only championship that Slaughter won throughout his time in WWE.
9 Jack Swagger
Surprisingly, Jack Swagger has held a WWE Tag Team Championship considering he teamed up with the likes of Dolph Ziggler and Cesaro. Nonetheless, Swagger held the ECW Championship and the United States Championship in WWE.
Swagger won the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 26, and days later he successfully cashed in the briefcase at Chris Jericho's expense on the following taping of SmackDown to become the World Heavyweight Champion. The All-American, American's run as World Heavyweight Champion was underwhelming as he wasn't booked strongly.
8 The Great Khali
It remains to be seen if The Great Khali would have become a World Champion in WWE had Edge not suffered an untimely injury. Khali clinched the vacant World Heavyweight Championship in a Battle Royal in July 2007. Khali feuded with Batista for the entirety of his championship run which lasted two months.
Khali wasn't a very good in-ring competitor due to his immobility around the ring. Nevertheless, the WWE Hall of Famer was primarily a singles wrestler which is why he never won a Tag Team Championship.
7 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley is enjoying a late-career renaissance with WWE, and since he rejoined the company in 2018, he has been a man on a mission. Lashley won the Intercontinental Championship twice, and the United States Championship two more times to go along with the one he won in 2006.
Lashley finally reached the mountaintop and he won the WWE Championship twice, which he thoroughly deserved. The Almighty is missing a Tag Team Championship on his resume to complete his set, and if he does, he will become a Grand Slam Champion.
6 The Ultimate Warrior
The Ultimate Warrior had a reputation for being incredibly difficult to work with behind the scenes, but he was one of the most popular wrestlers with the fans. Warrior only won the WWE Championship once, and it was a huge moment when he dethroned Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 6 as he held both the WWE and Intercontinental Championships simultaneously.
Warrior spent the majority of his career as a singles competitor, although he did team up with Hogan and Randy Savage briefly. Nonetheless, Warrior didn't need a Tag Team Championship and he had two steady runs as Intercontinental Champion.
5 Jinder Mahal
Nobody took Jinder Mahal seriously when he was a member of 3MB. He became a laughing stock, but when he returned to WWE, he clearly put in the work as he had a new physique and his in-ring skills improved drastically.
Mahal beating Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at Backlash 2017 is still one of the most surprising World Title changes in WWE history. Barely anyone expected the Modern-Day Maharaja to win the WWE Championship. Moreover, Mahal hasn't been close to winning the WWE Title again, and whilst he has won the United States and 24/7 Championship, there's no Tag Team Championship to his name.
4 Mark Henry
Mark Henry had a steady run with WWE, and the World's Strongest Man was a consistent performer within the company. Henry was a member of the Nation and he has been involved in some comedic skits. Nevertheless, 15 years after he made his WWE debut, Henry stunned Randy Orton at Night of Champions 2011 for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Henry was on a roll in 2011, and he deserved to hold the Big Gold Belt. However, it is surprising that Henry hadn't won a Tag Team Championship as he teamed up with the likes of D'Lo Brown and MVP but came up short in Tag Team Title bouts.
3 Randy Savage
"Macho Man" Randy Savage is one of the greatest in-ring competitors of all time. Savage had a great run in WWE as both a babyface and a heel. Savage finally won the WWE Championship for the first time in the tournament final at WrestleMania 4, when he battled past Ted DiBiase.
Savage turned heel, and he had a year-long reign as WWE Champion until he dropped the title to Hulk Hogan. Macho Man won the WWE Title again by beating Ric Flair at WrestleMania 8. However, when the Mega Powers were a tag team, they never won the WWE Tag Team Championship. Savage didn't win Tag Team Championship gold during his days in WCW either.
2 Alberto Del Rio
Controversy surrounds Alberto Del Rio but his in-ring WWE career was nothing short of extraordinary. The Mexican Aristocrat achieved a lot in WWE. He became the first man to win the Royal Rumble match and the Money in the Bank ladder match in the same calendar year in 2011.
Del Rio is a four-time WWE World Champion as he won the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship twice apiece. Del Rio is also a two-time United States Champion, and he spent a large portion of his WWE career on his lonesome with no Tag Team Championship reign on his resume.
1 Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar doesn't need to be competing in the tag team division which is why he has never won a Tag Team Championship. The Beast Incarnate is dominant on his own, and he has had great success in WWE. Lesnar won the WWE Championship seven times, and he is a record three-time Universal Champion.
Lesnar also has a Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, and a Money in the Bank ladder match victory to his resume. The Beast Incarnate hasn't won a secondary championship in his WWE career, but Lesnar has had an extraordinary career.
