On June 18, 2019, six months after the American
professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was founded, AEW
President and
Chief Executive Officer Tony Khan announced plans for both a singles and tag team championship for the women's division. While two singles titles were subsequently created—the
AEW Women's World Championship in 2019 and the
AEW TBS Championship in 2021—the tag team championship was not officially introduced until 2025. During the post-event media scrum for
All In: Texas on July 12, 2025, Khan stated that he had intended to introduce the championship earlier but was delayed due to injuries within the women's roster. He further explained that he wanted to ensure greater stability within the division before launching a tag team title. On the September 24, 2025, episode of
Dynamite, Khan officially announced the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship and that the inaugural champions would be determined via a tournament. The tournament bracket was revealed on the October 22 episode, featuring an eight-team
single-elimination format that began on October 29. The tournament final took place at
Dynamite: Winter Is Coming on December 10 where The Babes of Wrath (
Harley Cameron and
Willow Nightingale) defeated Timeless Love Bombs (
"Timeless" Toni Storm and
Mina Shirakawa) to become the inaugural champions.
