List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE)

This article is about holders of WWE's tag team title established in 2002 that was renamed World Tag Team title in 2024. For holders of the previous title of the same name, see List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE, 1971–2010). For WWE's list of it's other Tag Team title holders that is currently defended on SmackDown, see List of WWE Tag Team Champions.

The World Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling world tag team championship contested in WWE on the Raw brand. Introduced as the WWE Tag Team Championship, it was WWE's third world tag team title, and sixth tag team title overall. After WWE bought the promotions of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and unified the WCW Tag Team Championship into its own title at Survivor Series 2001, it split its roster into two brands, Raw and SmackDown. As WWE's original World Tag Team Championship was designated exclusive to the Raw brand, SmackDown introduced the WWE Tag Team Championship as its own championship.^[1][2]

Two-time and current champions The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh).

In 2007, after the initiation of the ECW brand, the title was shared between the SmackDown and ECW brands, thus inter-brand matches could take place for the title.^[3] In 2009, the title was unified with the original World Tag Team Championship by The Colóns (Carlito and Primo) at WrestleMania XXV and became recognized as the "Unified WWE Tag Team Championship" until August 2010 when the World Tag Team Championship was decommissioned in favor of continuing the lineage of the WWE Tag Team Championship. In 2016, WWE reintroduced its brand split and the championship became exclusive to Raw. It was subsequently renamed to Raw Tag Team Championship after SmackDown introduced the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. From May 2022 to April 2024, both the Raw and SmackDown titles were held and defended together as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship while maintaining their individual lineages. They were split at WrestleMania XL in April 2024 and the Raw championship was subsequently renamed as the World Tag Team Championship.

The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The inaugural champions were Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit, who won the title in a tournament final at No Mercy on October 20, 2002. The current champions are The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh), who are in their second reign as a team. Individually, it is the fourth reign for Bálor and the second for McDonagh. They won the title by defeating The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) on the June 30, 2025, episode of Raw in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

As of August 2, 2025, there have been 97 reigns between 73 teams composed of 103 individual champions and one vacancy. The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) have the most reigns as a team at five, while individually, Kingston has the most with seven. The New Day's second reign is also the longest reign at 483 days and they are the only team to hold the championship for over one consecutive year—Big E is also credited for this reign as during New Day's first two reigns, Big E, Kingston, and Woods were all recognized as champion under the Freebird Rule (Big E was split from the team in the 2020 WWE Draft). John Cena and The Miz's sole reign as a team is the shortest reign at 9 minutes, due to The Corre invoking their rematch clause immediately after losing the title. As a team, The New Day (across its two different variants of team members) also have the longest combined reign at 699 days, while Kingston individually has the longest combined reign at 984 days (982 days as recognized by WWE). Nicholas is the youngest champion at 10 years old (also making him the youngest champion in WWE history), while R-Truth is the oldest champion at age 52.
