The Wave Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the Pro Wrestling Wave promotion. The title is nicknamed "Dual Shock Wave".[6] The championship was first announced on August 28, 2011, at Wave's fourth anniversary event,[1] and the first champions were crowned on October 30, when kanAyu (Ayumi Kurihara and Kana) defeated Uematsu☆Ran (Ran Yu-Yu and Toshie Uematsu) to win the Dual Shock Wave 2011 tournament and become the inaugural champions.[3] From 2009 to 2010, Wave had promoted matches for the TLW World Young Women's Tag Team Championship, but this was the first title officially created and owned by the promotion.[7][8] Though primarily contested for by female wrestlers, one male team, Yankii Nichokenju (Isami Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto), has also held the title.[9][10]

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. There have been sixteen reigns shared among twenty-one different wrestlers and thirteen teams. Avid Rival (Misaki Ohata and Ryo Mizunami) are the current champions in their first reign as a team.[2]

Reigns

kanAyu (Ayumi Kurihara and Kana) were the first champions in the title's history.[3] Las Aventureras' (Ayako Hamada and Yuu Yamagata) third reign holds the record for the longest reign in the title's history at 282 days, while Yoko Hatanaka's (Gami and Tomoka Nakagawa) second reign holds the record for the shortest reign at 10 days. Shidarezakura's (Hikaru Shida and Yumi Ohka) only reign holds the record for the shortest reign, at 31 days. Las Aventureras holds the record for most reigns as a team, with three, while Ayako Hamada, Misaki Ohata, Tomoka Nakagawa and Yuu Yamagata share the record for most reigns individually, with three each.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Overall, there have been sixteen reigns shared among twenty-one different wrestlers and thirteen teams. Avid Rival (Misaki Ohata and Ryo Mizunami) are the current champions in their first reign as a team.[2] Individually, this is the third reign for Ohata and the first for Mizunami.[12][16]
