A.W.A.C. Women's Tag Team Championship

The **A.W.A.C. Women's Tag Team Championship** is a tag team belt promoted by A.W.A.C.. It is one of several belts in A.W.A.C. that is not exclusive to either the Anarchy brand or the Liberty brand; instead floating between the two brands so wrestlers from both Anarchy and Liberty can contend and wrestle for it. At the start of Season 3, the brands were merged together.

This belt debuted in Season 2.

## History

Before the start of Season 2 of A.W.A.C., management announced the creation of the A.W.A.C. Women's Tag Team Championships. Much like the main Women's Championship, the belts will float between both Anarchy and Liberty so that wrestlers from both brands can contend and wrestle for it. The tournament for the belts started on Anarchy #45 with the following Round 1 and Semi-Final matches happening on Anarchy #46, Liberty #1, and Liberty #2. The Final will take place at A.W.A.C. Deadly Sin 2019 where the first-ever champions will be crowned.

The Paradise Angels went on to successfully defend the belts against Rylee Rose & Pandora once again at A.W.A.C.'s block at VWU Prestige 2: Fight Forever, then at A.W.A.C. presents Raven's Dark Ass Summer Vacation against The Titans (Raven & Starfire). On Liberty #7, Team Brazil (Christie Monteiro & Laura Matsuda) defeated the Paradise Angels and Lollipop Evil (Ada Wong & Juliet Starling) in a 3-Way Elimination Tornado Tag Team Match to become the new champions.

At No Guts, No Mercy on April 7, 2020, Team Brazil successfully defended their belts against the makeshift team of Squirrel Girl & Spider-Gwen. On April 21, 2020 at Descendance, Squirrel Girl and her new partner Alita defeated Team Brazil to become the new champions. On May 10, 2020, on Liberty #13, Team Brazil won the belts back from Alita & Squirrel Girl in a Tornado Tag Team Match. The two would go on to successfully defend the belts against Hammerlock (Alex Quinn & Kendra Kloss) at Above And Beyond on September 17, 2020.

On January 15, on Liberty #15, Spider-Gwen & Squirrel Girl defeated Team Brazil to win the belts. This was Spider-Gwen's farewell match in A.W.A.C. as she is now signed with SCAW. However, due to Spider-Gwen signing with SCAW and leaving A.W.A.C., she vacated her half of the titles. Squirrel Girl later chose Alita to be her new partner. A.W.A.C. recognizes this as one reign as champion for Spider-Gwen and a second uninterrupted reign for Squirrel Girl. Overall, this is Alita & Squirrel Girl's 2nd reign as champions together. On January 26, 2021, at Freedom Navigation, Alita & Squirrel Girl successfully retained their belts against Lili & Bra Brief. 1 day later on Liberty #19, Team Brazil won the belts back in a 3-Way Tornado Elimination Match, becoming 3-time champions. On July 15, 2021, on Night 1 on Anarchy Rulz 3, Hammerlock defeated Team Brazil in a Submissions Count Anywhere Match to win the titles.

## Season 3

On August 2, 2021, on the first CPV of Season 3, Undisputed Universe, Hammerlock successfully defended the titles against the Military Machine Guns (Cassie Cage & Sofia Valmet). On November 13, on Anarchy #66, Hammerlock defeated the Military Machine Guns once again; this time in a Tornado Tag Team Match. On December 20, Hammerlock defeated E-512 (D.Va & Zarya) on the Fury Pre-Show for Resonance to retain their titles. On April 2, at Superfight, Hammerlock defeated RWBY (Ruby Rose & Yang Xiao Long) and Elegance In Violence (Bra Brief & Lili) in a 3-Way Tornado Elimination Match to retain their titles. On December 22, on Anarchy #81, Hammerlock retained their titles in another 3-Way Tornado Elimination Match, defeating E-512 and Elegance In Violence.

## Belt Design

The Women's Tag Team Championships were planned since 2018. A.W.A.C. created the first set of belts with the old logo but these never saw the light of day due to A.W.A.C. re-branding to the current logo that same year. The unused design saw a resemblance to the A.W.A.C. Intercontinental Championship plates-wise. The strap itself is white and all plates are gold with black paint. The side plates show thick abstract linework in the background with the sides of the globe prominent in the foreground. The front plate has the old A.W.A.C. logo at the top with "Women's Tag Team Champions" in the middle, 2 fists "punching" the words causing it to "curve" while on either side shows a fence/cage design. A.W.A.C. creator/owner Donte Hamid has gone on to say that he wished this design made it to the shows officially and has taken into consideration about bringing it back one day, albeit with the current logo.

The current belt features 3 plates on a curved white leather strap. The front plate is dual plated; nickel with a gold stacked plate that features a circular pattern with squares going around it, some black-painted accents, and tooling that looks like bolts or screws. The front plate on the left and right sides also displays a series of Swarovski jewels. In the center of the front plate is the A.W.A.C. Women's Tag Team Championship logo with 2 skeletal arms in an "X" formation with the hands holding up Texas "hook 'em horns". The side plates are both identical, showing a curved-square shape with the same black-painted accents and bolt/screw-looking tooling. In the center of the side plates lie the new A.W.A.C. logo, albeit with the anarchy symbol dropped in favor of a rebellious fist. This is a callback to the previous Women's Championship design which had a fist on its front plate.

On October 11, 2022, a new set of Women's Tag Team Championship belts were introduced. The new design harkens back to the old unused design. The front plate is an irregular oval with curves while the side plates are curved squares; both plates are nickel with nugget texturing. The main plate features the fists (now sporting purple streaks on either side of them) "punching" the words "Women's Tag Team Champions" in the middle. The top fist displays a black A.W.A.C. logo while the bottom displays a globe. Just like the old design, this new one has the cage fencing on the sides of the main plate, now in purple with a black background. The side plates also featuring the black A.W.A.C. logo with purple stones on each of the corners. The strap itself is a feint-dark purple, almost black colour with an ever-so-lighter shade of purple tooling bevelled along the snapbox going along to the outer ends of the side plates.
