World Tag Team Championships (USW)

The World Tag Team Championships are professional wrestling championships competed for in the American professional wrestling promotion Ultimate Showcase Wrestling on the Friday Night Severity brand. The championships (formerly known as the Global Tag Team Championships) are one of two tag team championships in the promotion, alongside the USW Tag Team Championships, which are exclusive to the Wednesday Night Intensity brand. The current champions are Ethan Woods and Monty Walker, collectively known as the Social Opera. The team is in their first reign as champions.
After the inaugural Ultimate Showcase Wrestling brand extension in 2016, the USW Tag Team Championships became exclusive property of the Intensity brand, leaving the Severity brand without tag team championships. This lead to the inception of the World Tag Team Championships to be exclusive property of the Severity brand.
== History ==
After the inaugural Ultimate Showcase Wrestling brand extension in March of 2016, the USW Tag Team Championships became exclusive property to the Wednesday Night Intensity brand, which left the Friday Night Severity brand without an active tag team championship. This lead to the creation of the World Tag Team Championships in March of 2016, becoming active and eligible for winning on the brand.
== Championship Designs ==
=== Current Design ===
The current design of the title is a four-edged centerplate with an upper arch. The sideplates are simply two globes, the right globe having the main spot of North America, and the left globe having the main spot of Europe and Asia.
=== Past Designs ===
The previous design of the World Tag Team Championships has been the same since it's inception, with the belts laying on a pure black strap, and a large shield as the center plate, with large words saying "Tag Team Champion" above an eagle, with a name plate in the middle of it. There are two side plates, both of which reference the Friday Night Severity brand in some way.
