History [edit]
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 actually title belts, and instead presented Christopher Daniels and Donovan Morgan, the winners of the tournament, with a trophy.[2]
The title became the ROH World Tag Team Championship after then champions Austin Aries and Roderick Strong defeated Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino on July 9, 2006 while on a tour in Japan with Dragon Gate.[3] Since then, the title has also been defended in the United Kingdom.
In 2010 the title belt, along with the ROH World Championship, was redesigned.
In 2012, the title belts were redesigned again, with the company's current logo.
Reigns [edit]
The inaugural champions were The Prophecy (Christopher Daniels and Donovan Morgan), who defeated "The American Dragon" and Michael Modest on September 21, 2002 to become the champions. The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli) have the longest reign as champions with their second reign lasting 363 days. The current champions are the reDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly), who are in their first reign both individually and as a team. They defeated the Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark) to win the title at the 11th Anniversary Show on March 2, 2013 in Chicago Ridge, Illinois.[1] Overall, there have been 36 reigns among 40 different wrestlers and 22 different teams.
