The ROH World Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling world tag team championship contested for in the American professional wrestling promotion Ring of Honor. The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants usually execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The Briscoes (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) are the reigning champions, however, on January 17, 2023, Jay Briscoe died in a car accident. The status of the titles are yet to be addressed.
The ROH Tag Team Championship was introduced at Unscripted on September 21, 2002, where ROH held a tournament to crown the first champions. At the time, ROH did not have title belts, and instead presented Christopher Daniels & Donovan Morgan, the winners of the tournament, with a trophy.[1]
The title became the ROH World Tag Team Championship after then champions Austin Aries & Roderick Strong defeated Naruki Doi & Masato Yoshino on July 9, 2006, while on a tour in Japan with Dragon Gate and Pro Wrestling Noah.[2] Since then, the title has also been defended in the United Kingdom.
Since originating in 2002, the title belts were redesigned in 2003, 2005, 2010, 2012, and 2018. On April 1, 2022, at Supercard of Honor XV, the 2005 design returned as the official ROH World Tag Team Championship belts.
