We have been dominant since day one in this b***h and s**t ain't changing cause we lost that Ladder War."
– Ring of Honor is known for its unbelievable tag team division and we take pride in showcasing tag wrestling to its fullest. Haas and Benjamin currently hold the ultimate tag team prize in ROH but with ANX, Future Shock, the Briscoe Brothers, the House of Truth, Young Bucks, etc. on the roster who knows who will hold the gold in the upcoming months. Right now is one of the most competitive times for the tag team division in the history of ROH. Who do you think is the best tag team in ROH history?
