Listing of professional wrestling champions for the ROH World Tag Team Championship


The ROH World Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling world tag team championship owned by the Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion; it is contested for in their tag team division. The championship was created and debuted on September 21, 2002, at ROH's Unscripted event. At said event, the championship was represented by a trophy, which was destroyed by American Dragon and Michael Modest after they were defeated by The Prophecy (Christopher Daniels and Donovan Morgan), who had just become the inaugural champions.[1] Daniels and Morgan were awarded physical belts later in 2002. Originally called the ROH Tag Team Championship, the title was renamed to the ROH World Tag Team Championship in July 2006 after the title was defended in Japan for the first time earlier that month, when then-champions, Austin Aries and Roderick Strong, defeated Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino to retain the championship.[2]

Title reigns are determined either by professional wrestling matches between different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines, or by scripted circumstances. Reigns that were won on pay-per-view events aired on tape delay up to weeks or months apart. Reigns that were won at live events were released on DVD. Title changes that occurred on ROH's primary television program, Ring of Honor Wrestling, air up to three to five weeks apart.

The current champions are The Undisputed Kingdom (Mike Bennett and Matt Taven), who are in their third reign as a team and individually. They originally won the titles as The Devil's Masked Men on December 27, 2023 at Dynamite: New Year's Smash in Orlando, Florida by defeating co-champion MJF in a 2-on-1 handicap match, and would later reveal their identities at Worlds End.

ROH publishes a list of defenses for each champion on their official website, unlike most other professional wrestling promotions. As of April 2024, The Briscoe Brothers' fourth reign and Austin Aries' and Roderick Strong's only reign are tied for most defenses, with 18. The Briscoe Brothers' second, third, and sixth reigns, Dan Maff's and B. J. Whitmer's first reign, The Second City Saints' (CM Punk and Colt Cabana) first reign, The Backseat Boyz (Johnny Kashmere and Trent Acid) only reign and the Forever Hooligans' only reign are all tied for the least defenses, with zero. At 441 days, The Foundation's (Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham) first reign is the longest in the title's history. Overall, there have been 68 reigns among 71 different wrestlers and 41 different teams.

Notes

    1.^ This event was a live event that was later released on DVD.
    2.^ Dan Maff's and B. J. Whitmer's first reign was won while they were in the alliance The Prophecy, while their second was won while they were no longer involved.
    3.^ The Kings of Wrestling's (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli) fourth defense is not recognized by ROH because it was defended at a Combat Zone Wrestling event, which was not sanctioned by ROH.[52]
    4.^ This event was a pay-per-view that later aired on tape delay.
    5.^ Each reign is ranked highest to lowest; reigns with the exact number mean they are tied for that certain rank
