The Un - Amercians The Un - Americans ( originally known as The Anti - Americans ) were a professional wrestling stable in World Wrestling Entertainment who were active throughout mid - 2002 . The stable was composed of anti - American Canadian and British wrestlers . History . The Un - Americans were formed on " SmackDown " in June 2002 by the Canadian Lance Storm , who had led a similar stable known as Team Canada in World Championship Wrestling . Storm claimed that World Wrestling Entertainment had discriminated against Canadians for years , citing the Montreal Screwjob as an example . Christian ( who had teamed with Storm regularly since the fall of the WCW / ECW Alliance ) and Test , also Canadians , joined the burgeoning stable later that month . The stable was named " The Anti - Americans " shortly thereafter . In the lead - up to the formation of the group , each member had suffered a televised loss , decided by the ineptitude of the referee calling the match . Lance Storm lost a tag team match when he used a Bridging German Suplex to pin his opponent Billy Kidman . Storm inadvertantally put his own shoulders on the mat , forcing the referee to count a pinfall on both men . Storm managed to raise his shoulder off the mat before Kidman did , but the referee did not see this , and awarded the victory to Kidman ' s team . In the following weeks , Christian and Test were pinned by their opponents in matches , and the referee failed to see that they were touching the ring - ropes ( thus invalidating the pin attempt ) . As indicated by the name , the Anti - Americans differed from previous incarnations of Team Canada in that they were anti - American rather than pro - Canadian . As a result of this , the emblem of the stable was not the Canadian flag , but an American flag flown upside down . In July , The Anti - Americans began feuding with characters such as Rey Mysterio , Rikishi , fellow Canadian Edge and Hollywood Hulk Hogan . On July 21 at Vengeance , Storm and Christian defeated Edge and Hogan to win the WWE Tag Team Championship . They were assisted by Chris Jericho , another Canadian , who both proposed the match to Vince McMahon , and helped them win it after striking Edge with one of the belts . However , Jericho did not formally join the stable and had only helped due to an ongoing feud with Edge . Original plans , according to Storm , were to have the four Canadians form a group called " C - 4 " , but plans were scrapped before many details could be worked out . In fact , Jericho had jumped to " Raw " on the same day as the stable , but still did not join them , though he is sometimes regarded as an associate ( especially with Christian ) . The Anti - Americans then jumped from " SmackDown " to " Raw " on July 29 , and immediately began a feud with The Undertaker . Up until this night , the World Tag Team Championship was only active on the " SmackDown " brand . But when Storm and Christian moved to " Raw " , the titles moved too , forcing the creation of a second tag team championship . This is when Jim Ross started referring to the group as " The Un - Americans " . They went on to feud with Booker T and Goldust , who Storm and Christian defeated in a Tag Team Championship title match at SummerSlam on August 25 . In the same night , The Undertaker defeated Test in a singles match . In late August and early September , The Un - Americans attempted on several occasions to burn the American flag , but were thwarted on each occasion by Booker T , Goldust , Kane and Bradshaw . In mid September , the English William Regal joined the stable . At Unforgiven on September 22 , The Un - Americans lost to Booker T , Goldust , Kane and Bubba Ray Dudley in an eight - man tag team match . Storm and Christian lost the Tag Team Championship on September 23 when they were defeated by Kane and The Hurricane . Following the match , both Storm and Christian blamed one another for the loss . One week later , Storm and Christian were both defeated in singles matches ( by the same man , Randy Orton ) , and Test and Regal lost a tag team match . The series of losses divided The Un - Americans , and the stable split in brawling fashion . The stable continued as a tag team featuring Regal and Storm , retaining their anti - American sentiments , although with an emphasis on their respective English and Canadian heritage , regaining the Tag Titles on two occasions . Meanwhile , Test took on Stacy Keibler as a manager , and became a babyface . Christian went on to team with Jericho and serve as Jercho ' s side kick and partner . Currently Christian and William Regal are the only two employed by the WWE , ironically both mentored rookies on first season of WWE NXT while Lance Storm has retired and Test died from a drug related death in 2009 . It was commented by Jim Ross during a segment of " The Legends of Wrestling " - Patriotism , that everyone in the Un - Americans were afraid the " heat " brought on by the angle . William Regal was remarked to be the only one who was not and due to that , the angle was short lived .
