This article is about IWE's current tag team championship. For IWE's original tag team championship, see List of World Tag Team Champions (IWE).
The IWE Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling World Tag Team Championship contested for in International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE). The IWE Tag Team Championship was IWE's third World Tag Team Title, and seventh tag team title overall introduced in 2002. After IWE bought the bankrupt promotions of Xtreme Championship Wrestling (XCW) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and the WCW World Tag Team Championship, it split its roster two brands, Meltdown and Fusion, in a brand extention. As a result of this, IWE's original World Tag Team Championship was designated exclusive to the Meltdown brand, leaving Fusion without a Tag Team Championship. Soon afterward, a IWE Tag Team Championship was introduced onto the Fusion brand. In 2007, after the initiation of the XCW brand, IWE announced that the title would be shared between both brands, thus inter-brand matches could take place for the title. In 2009, the title was unified with the World Tag Team Championship and became recognized as the "Unified IWE Tag Team Championship" until August 2010 when the World Tag Team Championships was decommissioned in favor of continuing the lineage of the IWE 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 Kevin Hunter and Matt Borske, who won the titles in a tournament final in October 2002, while as of January 2011, the champions are Justin Black and Jake Wilson. Overall, there have been 35 reigns with the tag team of MNM (Johnny Linderman and Joey Hayes) holding the most reigns at 3, in addition, Johnny Morrison/Joe Linderman, Scott Wright and Brian McAlmond hold the most reigns individually at four. Paul and Brian Woods hold the longest reign at 331 days, in addition, Joe Linderman holds the longest combined reign individually at 541 days.
