Tag teams that won world titles after splitting

[ChitownKnight]

Who are tag teams that were tag champs that both members ended up winning the world title later in their careers (teams who already had a world champ before the team was formed doesn’t count). Seth and Roman, and Edge and Christian are two that I can come up with off the top of my head ATM. If Cody finishes his story, then him and Drew can be another one

If you count the ECW brand as a world title then The Hardys would fall into this category, Shawn Michaels and Diesel did it aswell but whether you class them as a actual tag team is another thing.

Kofi and Big E

Obvious answer: The Shield

They did have a title reign and a name... an incredibly stupid name but a name. So I'd count Shawn and Diesel.

Edge and Rey Mysterio

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Austin and Foley

Immediately ducks from the tomatoes and people saying I cheated.

Kofi and CM Punk

Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho teamed a little bit. I remember in Jericho's book they called themselves something like Eh and Weh or North and South of the border or something.

The Blade Runners, Sting and Warrior.

The Funk Brothers?

[government mule]

3MB - Jinder & Drew (were they the recognised tag team of a stable? I can't remember)

I wanted to say Kane and Mankind, but looking up the dates, Kane won the WWE title first by a month.

RVD and Rey Mysterio were running together as tag partners in the dark days of 2004 Smackdown and even won the tag belts for a spell, long before either were top-title guys. They then lost them to The Bashams a month later, only for Rey to get them back with new partner Eddie Guerrero a month after that.

If you're only including WWE world titles and therefore able to ignore Benoit's one day as WCW champ then his team with Jericho in 2001.

[grungesmurf]

Does NXT count?

If so DIY

Does the NWA/WCW count?

If so Barry Windham & Luger.

If not no worries.

Shout out to Team Miz at Survivor Series 2009 where Miz, Dolph, Swagger, Drew, and Sheamus all subsequently won World titles.

I figure it counts so long as it's not in the same company, or else we'd have to get into what is and isn't a world title, etc.

Hence why I didn't bring up Cactus Jack and Mikey Whipwreck (Mikey the ECW title, Foley in a different persona the WWF title).

Were Jimmy Del Rey and/or Tom Pritchard ever WWF champ after 1993?
