USW Tag Team Championships

The USW Tag Team Championships (also known as the Ultimate Showcase Wrestling Tag Team Championships) are professional wrestling championships competed for in the American professional wrestling promotion Ultimate Showcase Wrestling on the Wednesday Night Intensity brand. The championships are one of two tag team championships in the promotion, alongside the World Tag Team Championships on the Friday Night Severity brand. The current champions are Sam Basin and Shane Grayson, who are in their first reign as champions. 
The USW Tag Team Championships were established at the inception of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling in 2013, at the time, the championships were referred to as the "Unified USW Tag Team Championships" before dropping the "Unified" part of the name in 2014. After the inaugural Ultimate Showcase Wrestling brand extension, the USW Tag Team Championships became exclusive property of the Wednesday Night Intensity brand, while the World Tag Team Championships (then known as the Global Tag Team Championships) were created for the Friday Night Severity brand.
== History ==
At the launch of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling in January of 2013, the USW Tag Team Championships were made active. Then, the championships were known collectively as the "Unified USW Tag Team Championships" as the two teams fighting for the championships both held tag team titles for other promotions at the time of their match. The championships are responsible for the notice of tag teams such as Switchblade and Blade, the Martin Brothers, Fernandez and Gringo, Ezarank Hills and Benny Franklin and more.
When Ultimate Showcase Wrestling implemented a brand extension in March of 2016, the USW Tag Team Championships became exclusive property of the Wednesday Night Intensity brand. At this time, the World Tag Team Championships were created exclusively for the Friday Night Severity brand, while they were then known as the Global Tag Team Championships.
