The Hurricane May 16, 2002 - June 23, 2002

Tajiri and Billy Kidman continued their rivalry on an edition of SmackDown!, but this time The Hurricane was also intorduced into the mix for a Triple Threat Match for the Cruiserweight Championship. Tajiri and Kidman were going at it before The Hurricane could even get to the ring, but it was The Hurricane who ended up walking out with the gold as he pinned Tajiri after a chokeslam.

Gregory Helms Jan. 29, 2006 - Feb. 18, 2007

The Cruiserweight Championship Invitational at the Royal Rumble was open to former Cruiserweight Champions, opening the door for the man who eventually won the match and became new champion... RAW's Gregory Helms. The Tornado format meant that Kid Kash, Paul London, Jamie Noble, Funaki, Nunzio and Helms were in the ring at once, with only one man needing to be pinned. Helms used the circumstances to his advantage, dropping Funaki with a Shining Wizard and picking up the three count.

Kane & The Hurricane Sept. 23, 2002 - Oct. 14, 2002

Kane had secured a World Tag Team Championship match against Lance Storm & Christian on an edition of Raw, but his partner heading into the match was unknown. Much to the surprise of everyone, The Hurricane joined forces with the Big Red Monster, and the unlikely pairing gelled almost immediately. Test and William Regal tried to interfere, but the referee banished them from ringside. Then The Hurricane and Kane delivered simultaneous chokeslams to Lance Storm and Christian, and Kane made the pin for the win and the World Tag Team Championship. It was The Hurricane's first World Tag Team Championship and Kane's seventh.

Hurricane & Rosey May 1, 2005 - Sept. 18, 2005

William Regal and Tajiri walked into the Backlash pay-per-view as World Tag Team Champions. In order to walk out as champions, however, they would have to beat four of RAW's top teams. Regal and Tajiri were successful in turning back The Heart Throbs and Maven & Simon Dean at the Backlash Tag Team Turmoil Match. Unfortunately for Regal & Tajiri, however, they lost to La Resistance - leaving La Resistance and the team of Hurricane & Rosey as the final two teams in the Tag Team Turmoil Match. In the end, it was Hurricane & Rosey coming out on top.

After almost five months as champions, Hurricane and Rosey lost their championship gold to Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch at Unforgiven.
