The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling world tag team championship in World Wrestling Entertainment. The belts are exclusive to the SmackDown brand.

History

After the Brand Extension in World Wrestling Entertainment, the WWE Undisputed Championship and WWE Women's Championship became the only titles allowed to be defended on both the Raw and SmackDown! brands, while the remaining titles became exclusive to either brand. During a period of open free agency, the Tag Team Champions were signed to appear and defend the title on the Raw brand. The Tag Team Championship became exclusive to the Raw brand, leaving the SmackDown! brand without a tag team title. As a result, SmackDown General Manager Stephanie McMahon, introduced the new WWE Tag Team Championship and commissioned it to be the tag team title for the SmackDown! brand. She stated that the inaugural champions would be determined from an eight-team tournament. On October 20, 2002, the team of Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit defeated Rey Mysterio and Edge at No Mercy 2002 in the tournament final to become the first ever WWE Tag Team Champions.

On October 17, 2007, Smackdown! and ECW announced a talent sharing agreement, where wrestlers of either brand could appear on both shows. Since then, the title has been featured and defended on both brands. The titles first prominently appeared on ECW after The Miz and John Morrison began an eight-month-long reign on November 16, 2007.

Current champions

The current champions are Carlito and Primo Colón, who are both in their first reigns as champions. They defeated reigning champions Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder in a tag team match on the September 26, 2008 edition (taped September 21) of "SmackDown!" in Columbus, Ohio.
