The Allied Powers was a short-lived face professional wrestling tag team consisting of "All American" Lex Luger & "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1995.

[edit] History

The team debuted at WrestleMania XI defeating Jacob & Eli Blu with a "Bringing the U.S. and U.K. together" gimmick, reflecting the real life partnership between the countries. After their debut they joined the hunt for the World Tag Team Title held by Owen Hart & Yokozuna.

They got a title shot at the July In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks event, but were unsucessful in their attempt. Following their loss Davey Boy sought out Diesel as a new partner for a night when Luger missed a show due to a (kayfabe) family emergency, only to immediately turn on him and join Jim Cornettes growing heel stable. When SummerSlam came about and Diesel had a match against King Mabel, Luger made an appearance helping Diesel to the win.

Not long after, Luger made a sudden switch and signed with WWF rival World Championship Wrestling, effectivley ending any chance of a feud between the former partners.
