A.W.A.C. World Tag Team Championship

The A.W.A.C. World Tag Team Championship is a tag team belt promoted by A.W.A.C. on the Anarchy brand. It is one of two tag team titles for A.W.A.C.'s brands, alongside the A.W.A.C. United States Tag Team Championship that was drafted to the Liberty brand as a result of the 2018 Draft. At the start of Season 3, the brands were merged together.
This is the 2nd oldest belt in A.W.A.C. history, having debuted after the A.W.A.C. Championship. Despite several design changes, it has always retained its name throughout A.W.A.C.'s 3 seasons. The belt is currently active.
==History==
Although A.W.A.C. first began as an E-fed, it wasn't publicly recorded and uploaded to YouTube until 2013. The last World Tag Team Champions before A.W.A.C. went on YouTube were Bulk & Skull. A.W.A.C. recognizes Bulk & Skull's reign as the "1st" reign in the title's full-length history.
At Anarchy Rulz, Chaotix Crew 2.0 (Espio & Chiro) won a 5-Team Gauntlet Match to win the World Tag Team Titles. The feud between the two continued with Bulk & Skull winning the belts again in a Triangle Ladder Match at Smashlash 2014 (the match also included the Deadly Saints (Firestar Hart & Johnny Gat]). Chaotix Crew 2.0 won the belts for a second time at Summer Slamboree 2014.
At A.W.A.C. Souled In, the new Deadly Saints pairing of Firestar Hart & Dragon Dragon won the World Tag Team Titles. On Anarchy #27, WhatCulture (Adam Blampied & King Ross) won a One-Night #1 Contender's Mini Tournament and, in the main event (an Extreme Rules Match), there were successful in winning the belts. On Anarchy #30, Hart & Gat reunited as the original Deadly Saints and won the belts back in an Extreme Rules rematch; Hart becoming a 2-time champion in the process. They would lose the belts to The Force (Anakin & Luke Skywalker) at CAW Network presents FIGHT BACK.
At Anarchy Rulz II, the Ministry of Destruction (Bane & Giant Gonzalez) defeated The Force to become the new champions. At Smashlash 2018, then-newcomers The Movement (Chris Danger & James Falcon) defeated them to become the new champions. At Summer Slamboree 2018, the Guardians of the Galaxy (Star-Lord & Rocket Raccoon [w/Groot]) defeated The Movement to become the new champions. All 3 of the Guardians are officially recognized as A.W.A.C World Tag Team Champions as they currently hold the titles under the Freebird Rule.
On May 16, 2019, at Deadly Sin, Firestar Hart & the A.W.A.C. Intercontinental Champion Milo Elasovic, collectively known as Diecast, won the belts from Rocket Raccoon & Groot in a 2 Out of 3 Falls Match. They would go on the retain the belts due to a 20-minute time limit draw in December at Envy against Christian Cage & AJ Styles. On March 29, on Anarchy #52, Cage & Styles defeated Diecast in No-Time-Limit Tag Team Match to become the new champions. Firestar & Milo would win the belts back on Anarchy #53 in a Handicap Match due to Cage's partner AJ Styles being taken out by Daas Wheedon at Milo's request.
On January 19, 2021, on Anarchy #61, A.W.A.C. COO Triple H stripped Firestar & Milo of the titles due to Firestar getting suspended for creating an unsafe work environment. Firestar's suspension will be lifted come Anarchy Rulz 3 when he faces Johnny Gat in an Unsanctioned Street Fight. 2 days later on Anarchy #62, The Force, represented by Luke Skywalker & Cade Skywalker, defeated the Whiskey Chasers (Colt Draven & Derek Weaver) to win the vacant titles. Even though Luke & Cade won the belts, Anakin was also later recognized as champion under the Freebird Rule. On July 17, 2021, The Bloodline (Biff Andreas & Zach Starr) last defeated The Force in a 10-Team Tag Team Turmoil Match to become the new champions.
==Season 3==
On August 2, 2021, on the first CPV of Season 3, Undisputed Universe, Biff Andreas & Zach Starr defeated Manji Gaiden (Ryu Hayabusa & Yoshimitsu). As a result, the belts were unified together and the United States Tag Team Titles were officially retired. On November 21, 2021, at Collateral Damage, Title Town Titans (Sam King & JJ Strife) defeated The Bloodline to win the World Tag Team Titles. On December 5, on Anarchy #70, the Title Town Titans once again defeated The Bloodline to retain the titles. On April 2, 2022, on Fury #50 (Superfight Pre-Show), Sam King & JJ Strife defeated Resist And Bite (Anarchymus & Vittore Timoteo) to retain their titles. On August 29, 2022, on Anarchy #76, Sam King & JJ Strife defeated the Guardians Of The Galaxy (Star Lord & Groot) to retain their titles.
On October 11, 2022, Los Tranquilos (El Noveno & Fernando Striker) defeated Title Town Titans (Sam King & JJ Strife), 3 From Hell (represented by Jason Voorhees & Michael Myers), and War Horsemen (represented by Ori Kahn & Kjetill Björnsson) in a Fatal-4-Way Ladder Match to win the T4 Tag War Tournament and become the new champions. On October 16, on Anarchy #80, the War Horsemen (again represented by Ori Kahn & Kjetill Björnsson) defeated Los Tranquilos after a masked men cost them the titles. After the match, the masked man revealed himself to be TJ Nicholson who officially joined the Horsemen. TBO also announced that all members are champions and would be able to defend the belts under the Freebird Rule. On February 18, 2023, at A.W.A.C. presents Saturday Night's Maine Event, TBO & Ori Kahn, representing the War Horsemen defeated Los Tranquilos to retain their titles.
== Belt Design==
 The A.W.A.C. World Tag Team Championship has had 2 designs in its history. The 1st design resembled the WWE World Tag Team Championship belt circa 2002 to 2010.
The second design was a huge departure from the first. The belt went from a 5-plated belt to a 3-plated belt. All 3 plates were now nickel instead of gold. The front plate has serrated, saw-like edges around itself. The background of the front plate has black paint with a nickel-plated barbed wire pattern going across. The foreground contains a globe with a banner reading "Tag Team" emblazoned across the middle. At the bottom of the globe is a banner reading "Champion". The side plates were now rectangular and display a floral-like pattern with embossed circles on each of the corners, almost resembling bolts or jewel holders. The middle of the left plate shows a globe mapping the continents of Europe and Africa, whereas the middle of the right plate shows a full globe, a massive oversight when creating the belt. However, A.W.A.C. ran with it and decided to keep the mistake due to time constraints. Throughout this design's run, the mistake was never changed however.
Alongside all the other belts, the A.W.A.C. World Tag Team Championships were altered to coincide with the new A.W.A.C. logo. The belt now resembles the PROGRESS Tag Team Championships with the yin-yang motif. The "yin" design on the left displays the new A.W.A.C. logo. whereas the "yang" design on the right has a curve going from the bottom to the top that reads "World Tag Team Champions". In between the front plates and side plates are grommets and sidebars. The left side plate has the new logo with Japanese kanji translated to "Tag". The right side plate bears the same design with the new logo and Japanese kanji translated to "Team".
