The Iron Fist Tag Team Championship (Japanese: IRON FIST TAG王者, Hepburn: Aian Fisto Taggu Ōza) is a professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the Pro-Wrestling Basara promotion,[3] a former DDT Pro-Wrestling sub-brand before it became an independent promotion on January 1, 2020.[4]

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. The current title holders are Harimau (Ryota Nakatsu and Kazusada Higuchi).

History

On October 4, 2019, DDT announced that the third edition of the Basara branded Iron Fist Tag Tournament would crown the first Iron Fist Tag Team Champions.[1] The finals of the tournament took place on October 23, 2019, and saw Iron Priest (Fuma and Yusuke Kubo) defeat Sento Minzoku (Daiki Shimomura and Isami Kodaka) to become the inaugural champions.[2]

Aijin Tag (Masato Kamino and Takato Nakano) were scheduled to defend the title against Trans-Am★Hiroshi and Antonio Honda at Basara 218 on May 13, 2023; however, Kamino was pulled from the event as he had suffered a knee injury on May 8.[5] Hiroshi and Honda instead faced Sento Minzoku (Daiki Shimomura and Minoru Fujita) to determine interim champions.[6] Sento Minzoku were victorious and served as interim champions until Basara 225 on July 23, where they defeated the lineal champions to determine the undisputed champions.[7]

On October 20, 2023, Daiki Shimomura was suspended for a year due to inappropriate conduct.[8] As a result, on the next day, the championship was vacated and the team of Shimomura and Minoru Fujita withdrawn from the Iron Fist Tag Tournament.[9] Basara then announced that the winners of the tournament would become the new champions. Harimau (Ryota Nakatsu and Kazusada Higuchi) were eventually victorious, defeating Takumi Tsukamoto and Sagat in the finals.[10]

Reigns

As of June 9, 2024, there have been 11 reigns shared among eight different teams consisting of 15 distinctive wrestlers, plus an interim reign, and one vacancy. The current champions are Harimau (Ryota Nakatsu and Kazusada Higuchi) who are in their first reign both as a team and individually. They won the title by winning the 2023 Iron Fist Tag Tournament, defeating Takumi Tsukamoto and Sagat in the finals.
