#1 Randy Savage [--] (11-4-0) (WWF)
With only 2 pay-per-view tag team matches to their record - The Mega Powers explode in the main event of Wrestlemania V! Having won the World Heavyweight Championship a year ago in the Wrestlemania IV tournament: Randy Savage is on the back foot against Wrestlemania's red & yellow icon: Hulk Hogan! Unbelievably, it's Hogan's first title win at the annual spectacle, having had several successful defences in the past!
The Mega Powers end their association still ranked #10 in the PPV tag team rankings. Newly minted at the top is The Hart Foundation's Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart! They dethrone the NWA's finest rivals of the Rock 'n' Roll and Midnight Expresses! The WWF Tag Team Champions also enjoyed success at Wrestlemania V; Demolition returning to the tag ranks with a solid win over The Powers of Pain The Warlord & The Barbarian in the mid-card!
The tag title defense restores Smash to the Top 10 individual ranks, helping to usher Dusty Rhodes out of the stack. Rick Rude is a new addition to the top ranks, buoyed by an Intercontinental Championship victory over The Ultimate Warrior!
Things get quiet for WWF until the summer at this point. NWA/WCW have another new pay-per-view to respond with, however! WrestleWar will bridge the gap and give the stars of the NWA another chance to claim dominance over the Top 10 PPV ranks!
