JWP Tag Team Championship

The JWP Tag Team Championship was a professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the JWP Joshi Puroresu promotion. The championship was introduced on August 9, 1992, when Cutie Suzuki and Mayumi Ozaki defeated Dynamite Kansai and Sumiko Saito in a tournament final to become the inaugural champions. On August 3, 2008, the title was unified with the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championship. Together, the two titles were sometimes referred to as the "JWP Double Crown Tag Team Championship". When JWP Joshi Puroresu went out of business in April 2017, the two titles were separated again with the JWP title remaining with the JWP production company, while the Daily Sports title moved on to Command Bolshoi's new follow-up promotion.

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title was won as a result of a scripted match. There were forty-nine reigns shared among thirty-nine different wrestlers and thirty-seven teams. The title was retired on April 2, 2017, when JWP Joshi Puroresu went out of business. That same day, Command Bolshoi and Leon won the final match contested for the title by making their second successful defense against Kazuki and Rydeen Hagane.

Title history

On August 9, 1992, Cutie Suzuki and Mayumi Ozaki became the inaugural champions, after defeating Dynamite Kansai and Sumiko Saito in a tournament final. Since then, there have been 16 reigns in a row before the championship was vacated on June 18, 2000, after the previous champions Azumi Hyuga and Command Bolshoi won the title in controversial fashion. On March 31, 2001, Misae Genki and Ran Yu-Yu won the vacant title by defeating Bolshoi and Hyuga. On August 12, 2008, the team of Harukura (Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki) became the inaugural Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championship, which would be defended together with the JWP Tag Team Championship moving forward.

On April 2, 2017, at JWP's 25th Anniversary show, which was JWP's last show as JWP closed doors, the championship was deactivated with Bolshoi and Leon being the last champions, ith a final successful title defense against Kazuki and Rydeen Hagane. On August 11, Pure-J was founded under Bolshoi's authority, which retained control over the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships.
