TNA World Tag Team Championship

The TNA World Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling tag team championship owned by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. The title was originally established on May 17, 2007, after the National Wrestling Alliance terminated its agreement with TNA and reclaimed the NWA World Tag Team Championship.

TNA created its own tag team title in response, awarding it to Team 3D (Brother Devon and Brother Ray) on the May 17, 2007 edition of TNA Today, as they had been the last NWA World Tag Team Champions under TNA’s banner.

Over the following decade, the championship was held by teams including Beer Money, Inc. (Bobby Roode and James Storm), the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin), The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards), and The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy).

The title went through several name changes as the promotion rebranded, becoming the Impact World Tag Team Championship in March 2017, briefly the GFW Tag Team Championship during a short-lived merger with Global Force Wrestling in mid-2017, and then reverting to the Impact World Tag Team Championship in October 2017 after that merger collapsed. The separate GFW Tag Team Championship from the original Global Force Wrestling promotion was unified into this title at Slammiversary XV on July 2, 2017.

The title returned to its original name, the TNA World Tag Team Championship, on January 13, 2024, at the Hard to Kill pay-per-view. New championship belts were introduced at that event, replacing the Impact-branded owl design that had been in use since the Redemption pay-per-view in April 2018.

This was the fourth distinct belt design in the championship’s history, following the original 2007 TNA plates, the recolored GFW design introduced at Destination X 2017, and the Impact owl design from 2018. ABC (Ace Austin and Chris Bey), who had been the reigning Impact World Tag Team Champions, carried over as the first champions under the restored TNA name.

Throughout its history across five naming eras, the championship has been held by dozens of teams and individual wrestlers. Beer Money, Inc. and The Wolves share the record for most reigns by a team at five each, while James Storm holds the individual record with seven reigns across multiple partnerships.

The North (Ethan Page and Josh Alexander) hold the record for the longest single reign at 380 days. Kaz and Eric Young hold the record for the shortest reign at roughly half a day. Despite being a tag team championship, three wrestlers held the title individually at various points, including Samoa Joe, who held it solo for an entire reign, Kurt Angle, who held it alone for fifteen days before Sting was added as his partner, and Matt Morgan, who claimed it after turning on his partner Hernandez.

The championship has remained a continuous part of TNA’s competitive landscape since its creation in 2007, serving as a platform for both veteran teams and rising talent within the tag team division.
