This was a Six-Pack Ladder Match for both the Raw Tag Team Championship and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, with both sets of titles hung separately. On April 15, 2024, the Raw Tag Team Championship was renamed as World Tag Team Championship.
The then-SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos defeated RK-Bro in a Winner Takes All match. The titles remained independently active, but were collectively defended on any brand as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
As a result of the 2020 WWE Draft, then-SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day were drafted to Raw while The Street Profits were drafted to SmackDown. To keep the branded championships on their respective brands, the two teams trade championships.
Braun Strowman and Nicholas voluntarily relinquished the title due to "scheduling conflicts" with Nicholas being a fourth-grader and needing to attend school.
Big E Langston and Kingston won the match, but Woods was also recognized as champion under the Freebird Rule. The brand extension returned and the title became exclusive to the Raw brand following the 2016 WWE draft, and was then renamed to Raw Tag Team Championship.
The World Tag Team Championship was deactivated during their reign. "Unified" was dropped from the name, but the WWE Tag Team Title continued to be defended on any brand.
Shortly after Edge and Chris Jericho won the title, Edge suffered a torn Achilles tendon, which forced him to vacate his half of the championship; Jericho was allowed to keep his title and choose a new partner, and he chose Big Show / Paul Wight.
At WrestleMania XXV, The Colóns unified the WWE Tag Team Title with the World Tag Team Title. The titles remained independently active, but were collectively defended on any brand as the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship.
The title was established as WWE Tag Team Championship for the SmackDown brand after the World Tag Team Championship became exclusive to the Raw brand. Angle and Benoit defeated Edge and Rey Mysterio in the tournament final to become the inaugural champions.
