List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE, 1971–2010)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three-time champions Demolition (Ax and Smash), whose first reign was the longest reign for the title at 478 days

The World Tag Team Championship, originally known as the WWWF World Tag Team Championship, was a professional wrestling world tag team championship in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The title had various names over the years due to company name changes, from its establishment in 1971 in the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), to World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979, and then WWE in 2002; the championship took on its final unbranded name later that same year. In April 2009, it was unified with the WWE Tag Team Championship, with the two titles together then recognized as the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship while remaining independently active. On August 16, 2010, however, the World Tag Team Championship was decommissioned in favor of continuing the lineage of the WWE Tag Team Championship (which became the Raw Tag Team Championship in 2016 before assuming the name of World Tag Team Championship in 2024).

There were a total of 176 reigns between 113 teams composed of 164 individual champions, and nine vacancies. The first champions were Luke Graham and Tarzan Tyler and the final champions were The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd). The team with the most reigns was The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) with eight, while individually, Edge had the most at 12. Only two tag teams held the title for 365 or more days: Demolition (Ax and Smash), whose first reign was the longest reign for the title at 478 days, and The Valiant Brothers (Jimmy Valiant and Johnny Valiant). As a team, Demolition also had the longest combined reign at 698 days across three reigns, while individually, Mr. Fuji had the longest combined reign at 932 days across five reigns.

The following is a chronological list of teams that have been World Tag Team Champions by ring name.[1]
