The Tag Team Championship is Global Extreme Wrestling's two-person tag team title. It has been active since 2001, with only minor periods of being vacated.
Due to the GEW records fire, almost no information on the title exists from before May 2006. In addition to the reigns below, Knuckles is known to have been a former champion, and Undertaker and Triple H are known to have had one and two reigns respectively, although their partners' identities are currently unknown. Currently, and pending further records being discovered, GEW management only recognises reigns by Knuckles, Jeff Hardy, Undertaker and Triple H prior to those on the list below. Forty-three different individuals are currently recognised as former or current Tag Team Champions by GEW.
The current champions are Sah'ta Thor and Amy Ngoudje. They are in their first reign as a team, which is Thor's second reign overall and Ngoudje's first.
