After years of fervent fan demand and sustained growth within its women's roster, All Elite Wrestling officially introduced the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships on the latest episode of AEW Dynamite on September 24, 2025.
AEW President and CEO Tony Khan made the long-awaited announcement, confirming what many in the wrestling world had speculated. The unveiling of the championship belts—which closely mirror the design of their male counterparts, featuring a "WOMEN'S TAG TEAM" banner—marks a major step in the expansion and development of the women's division.
The move adds a third championship to the women's division, joining the prestigious AEW Women's World Championship and the secondary TBS Championship. For many, this has been a long time coming. Since the company's inception in 2019, the idea of women's tag titles was teased, including an early tag team tournament, but the championships were never officially established until now.
In a recent interview, Khan had indicated that the championship belts existed but that he was waiting for the women's division to achieve a level of stability and depth before officially launching the titles, citing past injury issues as a concern. The consensus among fans and critics is that the division is now more robust than ever, boasting a wealth of talent including reigning Women's World Champion Kris Statlander, TBS Champion Mercedes Moné, Toni Storm, Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and a strong rotation of international stars.
The introduction of the titles is expected to provide a dedicated narrative focus for teams that have already been forming and competing on AEW programming. Established duos and potential alliances will now have a new, tangible goal, which promises to elevate the quality and airtime dedicated to women's tag team action.
While the championship belts were unveiled on Dynamite, further details on how the inaugural champions will be crowned are still forthcoming. Khan confirmed a tournament would be held "very soon," setting the stage for what is sure to be a historic and highly competitive road to the first-ever champions.
The AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships are more than just new gold; they are a clear sign of AEW's continued commitment to its female athletes and a decisive push toward a fully balanced championship structure across the promotion.
