With a new era, come a few new championships. WWE ditched the red leather and nickel plates of the Raw Tag Team Titles for a sleek new design and a familiar name: the WWE World Tag Team Championships. Triple H did the same on SmackDown, as the blue brand’s Tag Team Champions, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, were awarded with new titles: the WWE Tag Team Championships.
And NEW WWE Tag Team Champions… A-Town Down Under!
The introduction of the new WWE Tag Team Championships marks a significant moment in WWE’s tag team division. Inspired by the design of the historic World Tag Team Championships, which were held by legends such as The Hart Foundation, The Hardy Boyz, and Edge & Christian, these new titles carry a sense of tradition and prestige, and have WWE fans young and old buzzing.

Triple H presented the new titles alongside SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. Waller and Theory were anything but gracious in accepting their new championships, disrespecting The Game by not shaking his hand.
It didn’t take long for the new champions to find out who their first challengers would be. A four-way match between The Authors Of Pain, Legado del Fantasma, The Street Profits and New Catch Republic took place soon after to see who would earn a shot at the new titles. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins emerged victorious and were crowned the new number one contenders. There is no official date for the match, but it should be an exciting one whenever it does take place!
