The WWE World Tag Team Championship is a world tag team championship created by WWE, defended on the Raw brand division.
The championship was originally established as the WWE Tag Team Championship on October 3, 2002. It was introduced for the SmackDown brand as a second title for tag teams in the promotion to complement WWE's original World Tag Team Championship, which became exclusive to Raw. Both titles were unified in 2009 and were collectively referred to as the "Unified WWE Tag Team Championship" while officially remaining independently active until the World Tag Team Championship was formally decommissioned in 2010.
As a result of the 2016 WWE Draft, the championship became exclusive to Raw and was renamed as the Raw Tag Team Championship, with SmackDown creating their own counterpart title. From May 2022 until April 2024, the title was held and defended together with its SmackDown counterpart as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, with each maintaining their individual lineages.
