All Asia Tag Team Championship

Professional wrestling tag team championship From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The (All) Asia Tag Team Championship ((オール・)アジア・タッグ王座, (ōru) ajia taggu ōza) is a professional wrestling tag team title in Japanese promotion All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW). Originally, it was the top tag team title in the JWA, but its status became secondary once the NWA International Tag Team Championship was brought from the United States. It is currently one of two tag team titles in AJPW, along with the World Tag Team Championship. It is also the current oldest active title in Japan.[1]
