The 54th Real Tag Team Champions:
ECW's Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) - 1/9/2000 to 2/26/2000
Credible and Storm were two guys that Paul Heyman wanted to keep looking strong until the right time came to elevate them to the main event. Essentially, this reign was to keep them in a holding pattern, so when it came to wrestlers not named Jerry Lynn, they were the top. And because of the attention they garnered, they would be in the main event picture anyhow...too the point that when the reign ended, the titles were diluted.
The 55th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's New Age Outlaws (2) - 2/26/00 to 2/27/00
ECW's belts were swapped twice in a matter of weeks with a couple of makeshift teams (Masato Tanaka and Tommy Dreamer; Raven and Mike Awesome). WCW's tag division fell off once the Russo Era began. The Outlaws were not as over as they once were, but they were the top team and represented the past of WWF best. It was just about time for the division to finally go to the future.
The 56th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Dudley Boyz (4) - 2/27/00 to 4/2/00
It ended in the Triple-Threat Tag Team Ladder Match at WrestleMania 2000 (16).
The 57th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Edge and Christian - 4/2/00 to 5/29/00
The 58th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Too Cool (Grand Master Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) - 5/29/00 to 6/25/00
I really wanted to place the titles on KroniK (Brian Adams and Bryan Clark). They were the last memorable WCW team and Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor should not be a match for them. Unfortunately, Shawn Stasiak and Chuck Palumbo needed to get over faster than their talent's growth.
The 59th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Edge and Christian (2) - 6/25/00 to 9/24/00
During this reign, they successfully retained the titles in the first Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
