The Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) World Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling championship in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

History

The start of the company

In 2002, Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Jarrett formed NWA TNA, in the process negotiating a licensing deal with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) that granted them rights to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Tag Team Championship.

TNA withdrew from the NWA in 2004, but secured the right to continue to use the two NWA championships until 2014. TNA were permitted to use the titles any way they saw fit, without requiring approval of the NWA Board of Directors. While these titles were still defended in several NWA territories and federations, control of the titles was exclusive to TNA.

Title creation—NWA title vacated

The agreement ended early on May 13 2007 as the NWA and TNA agreed to end the business relationship, with the NWA formally stripping the reigning champions of the title. The new title was created and used on May 14 during television tapings. [cite web|url=http://www.tnawrestlingnews.com/headlines/181198405.shtml|title=TNA iMPACT!
