The team showed signs of formation on April 4 , the night of Sin Cara ' s debut the night after WrestleMania XXVII ( April 3 ) . Sheamus had just defeated Daniel Bryan to retain the US Championship in a WrestleMania rematch , and then began to beat Bryan after the match until Cara intervened . Sin Cara saved Daniel Bryan again on May 6th ' s Smackdown from an attack from Sheamus . The following week , Sin Cara then defeated Daniel Bryan , but due to a distraction from Chavo Guerrero , Jr . . The week after , Chavo was unable to beat Daniel in under 5 minutes , and after the match halted , Sin Cara attacked Chavo . The week after that , Daniel defeated Cody Rhodes which made Cody angry and he attacked Daniel after the match . Sin Cara defeated Chavo that week to end that feud . After the WWE Draft on the June 3 Smackdown , Cara would again save Bryan from his defeated opponent Ted DiBiase after Ted ' s Legacy teammate Cody Rhodes helped him double - team Daniel . Formation . Bryan and Cara tagged for the first time on the June 10th 2011 Smackdown . Initially it was a singles match between Sin Cara and Ted DiBiase . DiBiase was disqualified when Cody Rhodes intervened to attack Sin Cara . Daniel Bryan ran out and saved Cara from the 2 on 1 beatdown . Teddy Long then come out and declared a new tag team between the two pairs . Cody and Ted ' s New Legacy lost , with Ted submitting to Daniel ' s Lebell Lock . Micheal Cole called them The Raging Sensation . This was a combination of their respective nicknames : Bryan ' s Raging Dragon and Sin Cara ' s The Sensation . The next week , with the aid of Ezekiel Jackson , they would again defeat the New Legacy ( and their teammate Wade Barrett again , this time in a 3 versus 3 match . This may have been the last time that the pair were a tag team on live TV . Growing apart . On June 24 , the two had singles matches against their rivals , with Daniel losing to Cody and Cara defeating DiBiase . At the start of July , Daniel defeated DiBiase while their ally Ezekiel lost to Cody , while Sin Cara lost to Christian . On July 8 , the revived team of Daniel & Ezekiel would defeat Legacy as Sin Cara competed in another singles match . The next week , Daniel lost to Cody again and Ezekiel defeated DiBiase in a title defense . Cara had another singles match , against Sheamus this time . In a " Smackdown ! " dark match on August 18 , 2011 they would lose to then tag team champions David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty . Split and Aftermath . July 17 at Money in the Bank 2011 , the pair were now opponents . Bryan would win the match and the contract . During the match Mistico would get injured after Sheamus threw Cara through a ladder , and Mistico ' s suspension . In a following Smackdown on August 30 , Sin Cara ( now being impersonated by Hunico ) returned and defeated Bryan , and would turn heel hitting Bryan would a roundhouse kick . With this attack being from the " Sin Cara Negro " impersonator , it may be that Bryan held no hard feelings against the original " Sin Cara Azul Bryan defeated Cara two weeks later on the Sept 16 Smackdown via DQ . The referee disqualified Cara for being too aggressive in his match against Bryan . After this point , the ' real ' Sin Cara ( who had been out due to injury / suspension ever since Money in the Bank ) returned and attacked the ' imposter ' Sin Cara , brawling backstage . The week after , a Sin Cara was in another match with Daniel Bryan , when another Sin Cara ran into the match , and got a pinfall against Bryan . As they looked the same , the referee confused them and thought the one who got the pin was the one who started the match . It is presumably the imposter who got this pinfall , leaving the original rivalry between Bryan and Cara unresolved , as well as no grounds for the team ' s dissolving . The next week , the imposter revealed his black " Negro " mask . This was the false Sin Cara who had assaulted Bryan twice after their matches . In 2012 , both members of the team in irony both formed separate and more successful tag teams , with Bryan forming Team Hell No with Kane and becoming WWE Tag Team Champions , while Sin Cara formed a team with Rey Mysterio . The team briefly reformed to defend themself from attack from Prime Time Players Tease . After winning the World Heavyweight Championship in December 2011 , Bryan announced on his Twitter he would like to re - form his partnership with Sin Cara ( no matter who plays the character ) and possibly have a feud with him .
