In 1983 WWF (now WWE) established the WWF Women’s Tag Team Championship, which was active until it got abandoned in 1989. The title was abandoned due to lack of women in the tag team division. Until 2010, the women’s division was filled with limited members and one major title was sufficient. However, due to the major growth in the women’s division, demand for the Women’s Tag Team Championships has risen over years. After years of rumours, WWE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon officially announced that the New Women’s Tag Team Championship will be introduced sooner.

The main plate in the middle has four protruding edges, a meander pattern in the outer golden circle, two leaves and the title banner. The word “Women’s” at the top portion, “Champions” in the lower portion, and “Tag Team” in the middle were inscribed in gold. The side plates can be customized with the logo of the champion or their team. In default, the side plates have a WWE logo on the globe.
