The TNA World Tag Team Championship is a men's

promotion. The current champions are The System (Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards
), who are in their first reign as a team. Individually, this is Myers's second and Edwards' sixth reign.

The TNA World Tag Team Championship was created and debuted on May 14, 2007, at the taping of TNA's primary television program, TNA Impact!.[2] It was officially introduced worldwide on the May 17, 2007, edition of TNA's online podcast TNA Today.[1] Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a pre-determined match.

History

The Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion formed in May 2002.

A.J. Styles and Jerry Lynn defeated The Rainbow Express (Bruce and Lenny Lane) in a tournament final to win the championship.[6]

Creation

The NWA World Heavyweight and World Tag Team Championships were contested for in TNA until the morning of May 13, 2007.

The Latin American Xchange (LAX), in another three-way match.[7]

That night before each contest, the on-screen graphic used to refer to the champions and their respective championships, credited both Cage and Team 3D as still being NWA Champions.[8] Team 3D defeated Steiner and Tomko and LAX in the three-way tag team match to retain the "World Tag Team Championship",[9] while Angle defeated Cage and Sting to win the "World Heavyweight Championship".[9]

On May 17, 2007, Jeremy Borash and TNA's primary authority figure at the time, Jim Cornette, unveiled the TNA World Tag Team Championship belt on that day's edition of TNA's online podcast TNA Today and awarded it to Team 3D as a result of them being the NWA Tag Team Champions before the NWA/TNA split; in the process making them the first official champions.[1]

    The 2020 design of the title.

During the championship's entire history, it has had three designs. Until Destination X (2017), it had a leather strap covered with four small gold plates that has an imprint of the earth centered in the middle with TNA's official logo at the top of each. The center golden plate of the belt also has an imprint of a globe, with TNA's official logo engraved over it. The words "World Tag Team" are placed above the globe, while the words "Wrestling Champion" are placed below it.

At Destination X 2017, a recoloured version of the GFW Tag Team Championships from the

GFW Impact!
logo on the left sideplate and the GFW logo on the right sideplate. After Jeff Jarrett left the company and took the GFW name with him, all championships have been updated with an Impact Wrestling logo to cover the GFW logo.

At Redemption on April 22, 2018, Impact revealed new championships. The main plate is oblong, similar to the WCW World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. It has the Impact logo at a diagonal angle centered between the words "Tag Team" on the top and "Champion" on the bottom. It features two designs of an owl above and below the words.
