WWE Raw ended with a big announcement. John Cena was supposed to team with Zack Ryder to fight The Awesome Truth (R-Truth and The Miz) but they attacked Ryder backstage and took him out of the match. They still didn't beat Cena, getting intentionally disqualified in order to beat down Cena once again. GM John Laurinaitis came down and told Cena that he can choose any partner he wants to fight the Awesome Truth at The Survivor Series.D-XWikimedia CommonsCena shocked no one when he chose The Rock to be his tag team partner, pairing the biggest star in the WWE today with one of the best of all time. While this dream pairing seems to be a huge deal, it is not the first time this has been done.The Mega PowersIt was the late '80s and Hulk Hogan was having all kinds of problems with Bobby Heenan's army, including a newly signed Andre the Giant. Then, it all began when The Hart Foundation and Honky Tonk Man were beating up "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Miss Elizabeth ran backstage to find someone to help and came back with Hulk Hogan. The biggest good guy in the WWE teamed up with the biggest bad guy in the WWE and the two formed the Mega Powers. The pairing would not last long as Savage's jealousy of Hogan and Elizabeth drive a stake into their partnership.The Rock and Sock ConnectionThe Rock has been here before, teaming up with one of the strangest wrestlers in the WWE history in Mick Foley. Foley had wrestled as Mankind, Dude Love and Cactus Jack and was a former WWE World Champion by the time he formed this team. The Rock was one of the biggest stars in WWE history, and when the two teamed up, it was epic. The best moments in their partnership came in promos, such as the amazing "This is Your Life" segment, where Foley brought out numerous people from Rock's childhood. The Rock and Sock Connection was easily one of the most popular pairings in recent WWE memory.DXTriple H and Shawn Michaels were part of the Clique in the WWE with fellow buddies Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman behind the scenes. However, when Michael and Triple H teamed up as DX, it turned the wrestling world on its ear. Shawn was a world champion and Triple H was a perennial contender for the Intercontinental title. Together, they tore the WWE up. After Michaels retired due to a bad back, Triple H continued DX on as a stable but that eventually died. Then, after Michaels returned and the two had a short feud, they reunited as one of the most powerful tag teams in the WWE. Based on their popularity, their skill in the ring and their backstage power, they were almost unbeatable.Author Shawn S. Lealos has been a professional wrestling fan since the rock and roll days of the 80s. Shawn watched all the promotions, but held an affinity for the more rugged ones in the Mid South and Dallas focused World Class regions. He still watches wrestling today, enjoying the WWE, TNA and ROH, watching all three on television weekly.Source: WWE.COMNote: This article was written by a Yahoo! contributor.
