WWE Tag Team Name Generator

WWE tag team names come in a handful of recognizable formats, and the best ones tell you the team's gimmick before the bell. The oldest is the plural gang name: The Hart Foundation, The Dudley Boyz, The Usos, The Street Profits. Next is the ampersand duo, which is simply two ring names joined together (Edge & Christian, DIY's Gargano & Ciampa) and works when both partners are already stars. Then there are the concept teams that read like a band name or a brand: Heavy Machinery, Pretty Deadly, Alpha Academy, The New Day, Imperium.

A good tag name has a hook you can chant. Two or three syllables per beat, hard consonants, and a shared idea between the partners all help: The Steel City Saints, Salt & Battery, Two Dope Boyz. Family teams still work ("The Bailey Boyz"), as do Latin American style team names for luchador pairs, and comedy teams thrive on puns as long as the pun is one everyone gets on the first hearing.

The list below is sorted loosely by format so you can pick a style that fits your duo, whether that's a serious title-contending unit for WWE 2K Universe mode or a mid-card comedy act in your e-fed. Pair a name with a matching entrance theme, catchphrase and finisher, and the team will feel like it has history before its first match.
