Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the WWE World Tag Team Championship and its naming history, relay title lineages, notable champions and brand assignments from wrestling references, describe how tag team titles are defended, and distinguish it from the earlier World Tag Team Championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship and other promotions titles, noting that outcomes are scripted.

A professional wrestling tag team championship promoted by WWE, the name having been used for the title created in 2002 for the SmackDown brand and later unified with the World Tag Team Championship in 2010 to form what became the WWE Tag Team Championship, with the World Tag Team Championship name revived in 2024 for the Raw brand; as with all professional wrestling titles, champions are determined by scripted outcomes.

What it is for: Not applicable; a scripted championship.

It can be explain the title and naming; relay lineage and champions; describe tag team rules; distinguish related titles.
