The MLW World Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling world tag team championship which is owned by the Major League Wrestling (MLW) promotion. The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants usually execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition.
The titles were unveiled on April 21, 2003, during the Underground TV tapings, under the MLW Global Tag Team Crown Championship name.[1] The titles were vacated on February 10, 2004, after the promotion closed.[2] After the relaunch of the promotion in 2018, The Lucha Brothers (Penta el 0M and Rey Fénix) would win the vacant titles under the MLW World Tag Team Championship name on June 7, 2018.[3] [4]
