The IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship (Campeonato Intercontinental de Parejas IWRG in Spanish) is a professional wrestling tag team championship promoted by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) since 2000. As it is a professional wrestling championship, the championship was not won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match determined by the bookers and match makers. [a] On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline, [b] or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship, [c] or leaving the company. [d]
El Hijo de Canis Lupus and Hell Boy are the current champions, having defeated Mala Fama (Látigo and Toxin) on July 28, 2024 to win the titles. A total of 57 individuals have held the championship, 33 different teams for a combined 42 reigns. The tag team championship was created in 2000 when Yasushi Kanda and Susumu Mochizuki defeated Fantasy and Black Dragon to win the tournament. [6] Bryce Benjamin and Marshe Rockett hold the record for the longest reign, 875 days, while the team of American Gigolo and MAZADA is the team to have held the title the shortest time, nine days. Los Megas (Mega and Ultra Mega) is the only team to have held the title three times while Dr. Cerebro has held it three times as well but with two different partners.
