Grenier and Conway, however, continued to team together as La Résistance on ''Raw''. With [[Anti-French sentiment in the United States|American-Franco hostility]] subsiding, the WWE ceased billing the team as being from France and instead promoted them as being haughty [[French Canadian]]s who carried the [[flag of Quebec]] to the ring, with Grenier often singing the [[O Canada|Canadian national anthem]] and Conway becoming known as '''Robért Conway''', the French version of his name. The team held the [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE, 1971–2010)|World Tag Team Championship]] three times. Their first title reign came when they defeated [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] on the May 31, 2004 edition of ''Raw'' in Grenier's home town of Montreal, Quebec.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/040531.html|title=WWE Raw Results - May 31, 2004|date=2004-05-31|access-date=2008-10-19|publisher=Online World Of Wrestling}}</ref> The team dropped the belts to the same team of Benoit and Edge at [[Taboo Tuesday (2004)|Taboo Tuesday]] on October 19 when, even though Edge walked out on Benoit, Benoit was able to defeat La Résistance by himself.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2004/10/20/788799.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120630052248/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2004/10/20/788799.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 30, 2012|title=Nothing Taboo at Tuesday PPV|date=2004-10-04|last=Sokol|first=Chris|access-date=2008-10-18|publisher=SLAM!
