Statistics Most reigns Tennessee Volunteers (Reno Riggins & Steven Dunn (5 reigns) First champion(s) The Centerfolds Longest reign U.N. of Devastation (Bad News Johnson & Drake Tungsten (392 days) Shortest reign James Storm & Shane Eden (5 days) The NWA North American Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling tag team championship that is currently used and defended in various territories throughout the National Wrestling Alliance.[2] This is the fifth NWA sanctioned championship to bear this name. Unlike its predecessors, each of which was only used in a specific territory, this title is defended in NWA territories throughout the world in much the same way as the NWA World Tag Team Championship. Also, as with the NWA World Tag Team Championship, the title is ultimately controlled by the NWA Board of Directors and title changes occur only when a majority of the board votes to do so. Originally, the championship was called the MCW North American Tag Team Championship and was defended in Music City Wrestling based out of Nashville, Tennessee.
