WWF Women's Tag Team Championship


The WWF Women's Tag Team Championship was a women's professional wrestling tag team title in the World Wrestling Federation. The belief its holders were considered world champions was expressed by Jesse Ventura, an announcer for some of its defenses. Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria were recognized as the inaugural champions when they came to the promotion in 1983 as the NWA Women's World Tag Team Champions. The final champions were The Glamour Girls when the titles were abandoned in 1989.

Title history

In 1983, the team of Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria joined the World Wrestling Federation as the reigning NWA Women's World Tag Team Champions. However, the WWF had since withdrawn from the National Wrestling Alliance, and the rights to the championship were owned by The Fabulous Moolah. The WWF in turn bought the rights to the championship from Moolah, and recognized McIntyre and Victoria as the first WWF Women's Tag Team Champions. This ended the lineage of the NWA Women's World Tag Team Championship, though the WWF continued to use the championship belts of the former title to represent their new title. After six years, the championship was abandoned in 1989, with The Glamour Girls as the final champions. This happened largely due to the lack of tag teams in the women's division, and a lack of female performers in general.
During the December 24, 2018, episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE Chairman/CEO Vince McMahon announced that a new WWE Women's Tag Team Championship would be introduced in 2019, however, it does not carry the lineage of the original.

Reigns

Over the course of the championship's six-year history, there were five reigns between four championship teams, composed of seven individual champions. The inaugural championship team was Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria. The Glamour Girls had the most reigns as a team at two, while individually, Kai, Martin, and McIntyre had the most reigns, also at two. The Glamour Girls' first reign was the longest reign at 909 days, and they had the longest combined reign at 1,157 days. The Jumping Bomb Angels had the shortest reign at 136 days. McIntyre was the youngest champion when she was awarded the inaugural championship at 20 years old, while the oldest was Martin when she won the championship at 32 for her second reign.
