History

One-half of the inaugural ROH Tag Team champions Christopher Daniels.

The ROH Tag Team Championship was introduced at Unscripted on September 21, 2002, where ROH held a tournament to crown the first champions. At the time, ROH did not have title belts, and instead presented Christopher Daniels and Donovan Morgan (The Prophecy), the winners of the tournament, with a trophy.^[1][2]

The title became the ROH World Tag Team Championship after then champions Austin Aries and Roderick Strong defeated Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino on July 9, 2006, while on a tour in Japan with Dragon Gate and Pro Wrestling Noah.^[3] Since then, the title has also been defended in the United Kingdom.^[4][5][6]

On December 10, 2022 at Final Battle The Briscoe Brothers became record setting 13-time champions.^[7] During their reign, one-half of The Briscoe Brothers Jay Briscoe died in a car accident on January 17, 2023.^[8] His brother Mark Briscoe kept the title until it was vacated at Supercard of Honor on March 21, 2023.^[9]

Belt designs

ROH World Tag Team Championship belts (left to right): third design (2005–2009, 2022–2023) and fourth design (2010–2012).

Since originating in 2002, the title belts were introduced in 2003 and redesigned in 2005, 2010, 2012, 2018, and 2023. On March 31, 2023, the sixth belt design debuted at Supercard of Honor.^[11][12]

The sixth design of the ROH World Tag Team Championship from years 2018 to 2022 is sort of like a circle like repetitive round crown on all five plates of the belt that is gold with red and silver diamonds all around the center and side plates (two side plates per side equaling to four side plates total) with also gold wording in the middle with black outlining on them and on the side of the belts plates that say ROH Tag Team but in the main middle center plate separating it from the sides has the extra words World and champions in the middle.^[11]
