History

On June 18, 2019, six months after the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was founded, [1] [2] [3] AEW President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Khan announced plans for both a singles and tag team championship for the women's division. [4] [5] While two singles titles—the AEW Women's World Championship in 2019 and the AEW TBS Championship in 2021—were subsequently created, the women's tag team championship was not officially introduced until 2025. During the post-event media scrum for All In: Texas on July 12, 2025, Khan stated that he had intended to introduce the championship earlier but was delayed due to injuries within the women's roster. He further explained that he wanted to ensure greater stability within the division before launching a tag team title. [6]

On the September 24, 2025, episode of Dynamite , Khan officially announced the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship, along with plans to hold a tournament later in the year to crown the inaugural champions. [7] The tournament bracket was revealed on the October 22 episode of Dynamite, featuring an eight-team single-elimination format that began on October 29. [8] [9]

Belt design

The AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship belts are identical to the men's AEW World Tag Team Championship belts, with a couple of notable differences. Below the AEW logo on the center plate is a black banner that says "WOMEN'S TAG TEAM" in gold. Unlike the men's title, the women's does not have a nameplate for the reigning champions. While the side plates on the men's depict two male wrestlers in different wrestling positions, the women's instead has women. [15]
