Tag team championships in WWE

Related topics

The American professional wrestling promotion WWE has maintained several men's and women's tag team championships (except for a two-year interim between 1967 and 1969) since Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC) seceded from the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in 1963 to become the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), which was later subjected to various name changes, including World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)—in April 2011, the company ceased using its full name and has since just been referred to as WWE.

The earliest men's tag team title affiliated to Capitol, the Northeast version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship, established in 1957 by Toots Mondt's Manhattan Wrestling Enterprises and later shared with the CWC, entirely preceded the WWWF's creation as it was deactivated in June 1961, while the first women's tag team title, the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship, was established in 1983. Whenever the WWE brand extension has been implemented (2002–2011; 2016–present), separate tag team championships have been created or allocated for each brand.

As of 2025, since the acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, WWE promotes five men's, one women's, and one mixed gender tag team championships. Three of the men's titles, the World Tag Team Championship on Raw, the WWE Tag Team Championship on SmackDown, and AAA World Tag Team Championship on AAA are regarded as world tag team championships, while the third men's title is for WWE's developmental brand, NXT, the NXT Tag Team Championship. The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship is the only women's tag team championship in WWE and is defended across Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. In addition, the company also promotes the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship and the AAA World Trios Championship.
