Tyson Kidd and Cesaro were a professional wrestling tag team in WWE. They are former WWE Tag Team Champions. They formed a tag team in December 2014, and are accompanied to the ring by Natalya, Kidd's real-life wife. While the team had no official name, they were unofficially called the "Masters of the WWE Universe", a reference to the Masters of the Universe franchise, and the "Brass Ring Club", a reference to the Japanese wrestling stable Bullet Club as well as a criticism of Cesaro from WWE chairman Vince McMahon.
Kidd and Cesaro first teamed on December 1, 2014, when they were eliminated from a gauntlet match for a shot at the tag team titles by The Usos. In January 2015, Kidd formed an official alliance with Cesaro. The pair dubbed themselves "The Brass Ring Club" and proceeded to pick up multiple wins over Los Matadores, as well as allying with Adam Rose to feud with The New Day. At the Royal Rumble, Kidd and Cesaro defeated New Day members Big E and Kofi Kingston, before entering the Royal Rumble match at #12 (Kidd) and #28 (Cesaro) and being eliminated by Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler respectively. According to the Wrestling Observer, originally Rose was set to join the duo to form a faction, indicated by the "Brass Ring Club" shirts worn by the trio throughout January, but those plans were nixed following the Royal Rumble.
