The WWE Universe is home to around-the-clock lively debates, with fans going back and forth on everything from the worst nWo member to why last week's RAW main event was so good. The Usos went viral in the latest online discussion among WWE fans, and now Bubba Ray Dudley is weighing in too.

Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso are arguably one of the greatest tag teams of all time. The sons of Rikishi began their careers in 2008, inked WWE developmental contracts in January 2010, and have been there ever since. The brothers have nine tag team championship reigns together and won the Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year in 2014 and 2015.

The World Wrestling Entertainment tag team division has featured many legendary squads over the years, including The Road Warriors, The New Day, The Steiners, Edge & Christian, The Hardys, DX, The Brothers of Destruction, The Miz and John Morrison, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws, APA, The Rock 'n' Sock Connection, Team Hell No, The Bar, and The Wild Samoans, among others, including The Dudley Boyz. The 25-time tag team champions are also known as Team 3D and its members were Bubba Ray Dudley aka Bully Ray and D-Von Dudley aka Brother Devon.

WWE took to X this week to poll fans on the greatest tag team in company history. While a few thousand fans chimed in, Bubba Ray also responded with a nod to him and his longtime tag team partner. He included a shot of their September 2003 RAW magazine cover, where they're billed as WWE's Greatest Duo Ever.

"Just sayin.... [nerd face emoji]," Bubba Ray Dudley wrote with the photos below.

Fans overwhelmingly chose Jimmy and Jey as The G.O.A.T. in the tag team division. While naming The Usos as the best, others made sure to give an honorable mention or a runner-up nod to teams like The New Day and DX. One fan named The Wild Samoans because there would be no Usos or Bloodline without them.

Check out a few of those reactions below:

"In Ring: It’s @WWEUsos and there is no debate. Longest reigning champs in history. New Day is a close second. On the mic/backstage antics/impact: DX," wrote a fan.

The other main tag teams who appear to be ranked closer to The Usos include The Brothers of Destruction, The Dudleyz, The Hardyz, Edge & Christian, Demolition, The Hart Foundation, and The Road Warriors, among others.

You can read a few of those reactions below:

"It’s gotta be the Road Warriors or the Dudleys," one fan commented.
"Any other answer than Edge and Christian, The Dudley Boyz, and The Hardy Boyz is incorrect. WWE literally created a whole match, move set, and named a paper (sic) view after these 3. On top of it all they were the most anticipated matches over the most over stars in the era," wrote another fan.
"The Undertaker and Kane formed a tag team known as “The Brothers of Destruction”. They are one of the most imposing tag teams in WWE history. Their supernatural personas and huge size made them a formidable duo in the WWE. Together, they were unstoppable and very dangerous," replied another fan.

The Usos began their championship journey with the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship while working in WWE developmental. They are three-time RAW Tag Team Champions, and five-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions together.


Jey Uso to defend on WWE RAW

Jey Uso has been a top singles superstar on RAW for almost fourteen months now. The high-flyer came to the red brand after walking out on The Bloodline and SmackDown.

Main Event Jey defeated Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship on September 23, to kick off his first-ever singles championship reign. Breakker will now get his rematch for the title on Monday's RAW in Philadelphia.

RAW will mark the second-ever televised singles bout between the second-generation superstars after the title change in late September. Since then, Uso has also defeated Breakker in one SmackDown dark match and at six non-televised live events.
