History

The title was presented by special guest Shawn Michaels on the January 23, 2013 edition of NXT. He announced that there would be a tournament held to crown the first champions.^[1] A team called British Ambition (whose members were Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey) beat a team called The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) to become the first champions on January 31, 2013 (but it could not be watched on TV until February 13). In their first match for the title, Neville and Bo Dallas fought the Wyatt Family because Grey was hurt badly and could not fight. Neville and Dallas lost. Neville and Corey Graves beat the Wyatt Family for the titles on June 20 (shown on TV on July 17) and Neville became the first wrestler to win the title twice. At NXT TakeOver: The End in June 2016, The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) became the first team to win the title twice by beating American Alpha (Chad Gable and Jason Jordan).

Reigns

Right now, the champions are DarkState (Saquon Shugars and Osiris Griffin), who are in their second reign as a team. Individually, this is the second reign for Griffin and the first sor Shugars. Griffin and Dion Lennox won the title by defeating previous champions The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) in a Broken Rules match at Halloween Havoc on October 25, 2025, in Prescott Valley, Arizona.^[2] On December 2, Lennox gave up his half of the title to Shugars, so Lennox could focus on competing for singles championships.^[3]
