NWA United States Tag Team Championship (Lightning One version)

The NWA United States Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling tag team championship contested in the National Wrestling Alliance. This version is the eleventh version of the championship.

On July 19, 2022, the NWA announced that the United States Tag Team Championship would be revived after five years of inactivity, and new champions would be determined in a 12 team battle royal on Night 2 of NWA 74.[2] All participants except for the final team were announced on NWA programming (Powerrr and USA) in the weeks leading up to NWA 74. The final team was revealed after the first eleven teams had entered the ring for the match.

Belt design

The original belts have a similar design to a version of the titles from Championship Wrestling from Florida. On the October 29, 2022 edition of NWA USA, NWA President Billy Corgan unveiled new belts, bearing a similar design of the Detroit version of the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship. But The Fixers' Wrecking Ball Legursky refused to swap the title belts with Corgan. On January 31, 2023 when the Fixers were defeated by The Country Gentleman for the championship, the title belts were finally swapped out.

Reigns

As of July 14, 2024, there have been four reigns between four teams, and eight wrestlers. The Fixers (Jay Bradley and Wrecking Ball Legursky) were the inaugural champions. The Country Gentlemen (AJ Cazana and Anthony Andrew)'s reign is the longest at 271 days, while Daisy Kill and Talos' reign is the shortest at 62 days.

The most recent champions were The Immortals (JR Kratos and Odinson) are the current champions in their first reign. They defeated Daisy Kill and Talos on October 28, 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio at Samhain, but vacated the titles on April 2, 2024 at Hard Times 4 in order to challenge for the NWA World Tag Team Championship.
