The TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship is a women's professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the professional wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It is contested for mainly by teams consisting of two female wrestlers in TNA, known as the TNA Knockouts; however, the championship was once held by a male. The current champions are The Malisha (Alisha Edwards and Masha Slamovich).
The creation of the championship was announced on August 20, 2009, during a backstage segment on TNA's primary television program TNA Impact!.[1] Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won via the result of a scripted match. Sarita and Taylor Wilde were the inaugural champions. They won a four-week tournament to be crowned the first champions. The longest reigning champions were Eric Young and ODB, who held the titles for a record 478 days before the 2013 deactivation of the titles due to Eric Young being a male talent.
On October 24, 2020, at Bound For Glory, the revival of the titles were officially announced by Madison Rayne, with a tournament to award the revived championships taking place. On January 16, 2021, the tournament finals were won by Fire 'N Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz) at Hard To Kill.
In the back Lauren says that next week will be the start of the 1st Round to crown the very first TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions!
