The Legion of Doom. Demolition. The British Bulldogs. The New Age Outlaws. Yes, even The Rock ‘N’ Sock Connection. All great tandems that cemented their place in WWE history by attaining tag team championship gold – and by having awesome, undeniably catchy monikers.
On Raw, high-flyers Kofi Kingston (@TrueKofi) & Evan Bourne (@FindEvan) joined the ranks of WWE’s most elite and dynamic duos by becoming WWE Tag Team Champions. There’s just one problem: What the heck are we going to call them?
In a WWE.com exclusive video interview, The Dreadlocked Dynamo & “Air” Bourne asked the WWE Universe to name their team, which joined forces just one week before their incredible victory over reigning champions David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty.
