1 - Actual date uncertain. This match was the finals of a tournament to declare new tag team champs.
2 - Rivera left halfway through the match, so DeNucci selected Barret as his partner.
3 - The Executioners, who wrestled in masks, were stripped of the titles after using Nikolai Volkoff in a match.
4 - Strongbow and White Wolf win a 3-team tournament over the Executioners and Volkoff/Kamata.
5 - An injury to White Wolf strips them of their titles.
6 - Tanaka and Fuji defeat Garea and Zbyszko to become champions.
7 - Bob Backlund, the WWF world champ, was forced to vacate the tag title due to a one-title rule.
8 - The Samoans defeated Rene Goulet and Tony Garea to become champs.
9 - King was replaced by Spot during the title reign.
10-Sika was injured, so Tom Anoia replaced him on 3/12/83.
11-Demolition fought as a three-man team, consisting of Ax, Smash and the newly found Crush.
12-The Hart Foundation defeated the Demolition tandem of Smash and Crush. Ax was no longer with the WWF.
13-The Rockers defeated The Hart Foundation in October of 1990, but the decision was later over-ruled.
14-Titles vacated after Diesel and Shawn Michaels split up.
15-Finals of a tournament to declare the new champions.
16-At IYH on 9/25, Diesel and Shawn Michaels beat Yokozuna and Bulldog (filling in for Owen Hart) for the titles. The next night on RAW the decision was over-ruled because Bulldog was the one pinned and Yokozuna and Owen Hart unsuccessfully defended the titles against The Smoking Gunns.
17-Billy Gunn undergoes neck surgery; titles vacated.
18-The Body Donnas defeated The Godwinns in a tournament final.
19-Shawn Michaels walked out on the WWF. Steve Austin was offered the choice to select a new partner to face recent tournament winners, Bulldog and Owen Hart, for the titles. Dude Love appeared on Austin's behalf to face the challengers.
20-Austin gets injured; has to forfeit the belts at IYH. A four way match is conducted with the Headbangers winning the match.
21-Cactus Jack and Chainsaw defeat the New Age Outlaws on 3/29 in a Dumpster Match but one night it is deemed that the two did not properly close the dumpster and thus the titles were held up and the winners of this particular match were to be given the belts.
22-Edge & Christian win the tag team titles after defeating both the Dudley Boyz and the Hardy Boyz in a triple threat triangle ladder match.
23-Oh boy...here goes. Hardy Boyz are champs and Mick Foley makes a stipulation that Edge & Christian cannot wrestle the Hardys as long as the Hardys are tag team champs. As a way to get around that, E & C enlist with the "Los Conquistadores", two indy wrestlers who take turns playing the tag team along with E & C themselves. "Los Conquistadores" (Edge & Christian) eventually earn their titles shots @ No Mercy and end up winning the belts off of the Hardys. The next night on RAW, a match is set up between the Los Conquistadores and Edge & Christian, with the presumption that Los Conquistadores were to be played by the aforementioned indy/jobber wrestlers. As it turns out, Los Conquistadores do not lay down for E & C, win the match and reveal themselves to be the Hardy Boyz. Mick Foley comes down, unfolds E & C's plan, but validates their win the night before but also validates the Hardys win on RAW. End result: Hardy Boyz keep their title by outsmarting Edge & Christian.
24-Edge & Christian win the tag team titles in a four corner's tag team match which also involved the champs, Goodfather & Bull, the Dudley Boyz and Road Dogg & K-Kwik. Edge pinned Buh Buh for the victory.
25-Edge & Christian win the tag team titles in a triple threat TLC II match against the Dudley Boyz (the defending champions) and the Hardy Boyz.
26-Triple H & Steve Austin win the tag team titles in a triple title match against Taker and Kane, a match in which the tag titles along with the world heavyweight and Intercontinental titles were all on the line.
