The ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by the Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion.

The title was officially announced in a press release on August 30, 2016, and marked the first new title created by ROH in six years, following the 2010 creation of the ROH World Television Championship.[1][3][4] ROH promoted the title as the first time in nearly 30 years that a major American promotion had had a six-man tag team title.[3]

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a match with a predetermined outcome. The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan and Vinny Marseglia) are the current inaugural champions.[2]

Championship tournament

The tournament to crown the inaugural ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions took place between September 30 and December 2.[1] The tournament featured participants from the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and Japanese New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) promotions, both of which ROH had a working relationship with. ROH noted how six-man tag team matches were a staple of Mexican lucha libre and how NJPW had recently created its own six-man tag team title, the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship, which had first been won by a trio made up of NJPW wrestler Toru Yano and the ROH tag team The Briscoes (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe).[3] Lio Rush was originally announced for the tournament, but ended up being replaced by NJPW wrestler Kushida.[5] However, Rush eventually returned to the team, replacing ACH in the finals due to his departure from ROH.[6] The tournament started on September 30 at the All Star Extravaganza VIII pay-per-view (PPV),[7] with the remaining first round and semifinal matches taking place at the October 1 and 29 tapings of the weekly Ring of Honor Wrestling program.[8][9] The finals of the tournament took place at the Final Battle PPV.[1]
