Triple H unveiled and presented the new WWE World Tag Team
titles to champions Awesome Truth last night on Raw,
effectively ending the Raw and Smackdown Tag Team titles.
The World Tag Team titles, featuring a similar design of the
men’s and women’s World titles but having a round center
plate, will take the Raw Tag Team titles lineage.
The Raw and Smackdown Tag Team titles were introduced in the
Summer of 2016 featuring the Spartan helmets on the center
plate, a design which was universally hated by wrestling
fans. The same design was part of the WWE Tag Team titles
and made its debut in August 2010.
Later in the show, DIY defeated The New Day and The Creed
Brothers in a triple threat match to become the number one
contenders for the titles.
