NXT UK Tag Team Championship

The NXT UK Tag Team Championship was a professional wrestling tag team championship in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) for their developmental brand NXT UK.
WWE had originally announced plans for a United Kingdom-based brand in December 2016; however, it was not until mid-2018 when NXT UK was formally established as that brand. The NXT UK Tag Team Championship was then introduced during the first night of the 2018 United Kingdom Championship Tournament. Although it is one of four male tag team championships in WWE, it is viewed as a step below the promotion's three main brand titles, the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship, WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship, and NXT Tag Team Championship.
==History==
In a press conference at The O2 Arena on December 15, 2016, the American professional wrestling promotion WWE announced plans to establish a United Kingdom-based brand on which professional wrestlers from the country would compete. The WWE United Kingdom Championship (later renamed NXT United Kingdom Championship) was established that same day, however, it was not until mid-2018 when NXT UK was formally established as the United Kingdom-based brand, and sister brand of the American-based NXT. On 18 June during the first night of the 2018 United Kingdom Championship Tournament, the NXT UK Tag Team Championship, along with the NXT UK Women's Championship, was announced for the NXT UK brand. A four-team single-elimination tournament took place on the 24 and 25 November tapings of NXT UK (aired 2 and 9 January 2019, respectively). The finals occurred at TakeOver: Blackpool on 12 January, where the team of James Drake and Zack Gibson defeated Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven and Tyler Bate) to become the inaugural champions.
