In the final episode of the “WWE’s 50 Greatest Tag Teams” series on Peacock, WWE named their all-time top tag team, which was The New Day (Big E, Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston).
Shortly after the reveal, Big E tweeted a statement on the honor. He wrote the following:
“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.”
AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks decided to have some fun at the expense of Big E by posting a similar statement that he wrote last month. They also declared themselves the greatest tag team of all-time.
The AEW stars wrote, “We know many will disagree with the list but being named the greatest tag team of all time makes us reflect on our journey. We’re massively grateful for us. We’re thankful we bet on ourselves & were unafraid to pursue a path that felt right for us.”
In their most recent match, The Young Bucks retained the titles over Penta El Zero Miedo and Eddie Kingston in a street fight on this past week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
We know many will disagree with the list but being named the greatest tag team of all time makes us reflect on our journey. We’re massively grateful for us. We’re thankful we bet on ourselves & were unafraid to pursue a path that felt right for us.
