PWI's list of wrestling World Tag Team Title reigns
This is a list of number of professional wrestling championships that Pro Wrestling Illustrated recognizes as having "World Tag Team Title" status. There is no ultimate source that declares which of the various wrestling promotions top tag team championships have that status and views differ from promotion to promotion. The same happens with PWI. Hence this page is not supposed to represent the official view on which titles have world tag team title status, it just represents PWI's point of view.

Declaration of World Tag Team Title Status
Pro Wrestling Illustrated has historically granted world tag team title status to the following promotions: World Wrestling Entertainment (and its previous names), National Wrestling Alliance, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, American Wrestling Association (now defunct, and not to be confused with post-1991 versions of the AWA, though PWI considers their championships to be a single title), Extreme Championship Wrestling (now defunct) and World Championship Wrestling (now defunct). PWI currently recognizes two world tag team championships in the WWE and differentiates them as the WWE Raw World Tag Team Championship (currently the World Tag Team Championship) and the WWE SmackDown! World Tag Team Championship (currently the WWE Tag Team Championship). It should also be noted that, although the NWA recognizes its World Tag Team Championship since 1992 onwards, PWI only gives world tag team title status to reigns from 2002 to 2007.
