The WWP Tag Team World Championship is the first South African tag team championship to be recognised globally. The first ever champions were The Coalminers, composed of The Blacksmith and his brother, The Woodcarver. Together, they feuded with Tornado throughout 2004 and 2005 in numerous tag team (with Tornado choosing a partner of his choice) and handicap wars. Eventually, Tornado, forced to fight by himself during a title match, won the gold and made history. The Coalminers, unrelenting in their pursuit to once again capture it, pinned Tornado in the penultimate clash to end their long-running feud.
Rising in the ranks was the tag team combo of up-and-comer Ananzi and the legend Danie Brits, who battled The Coalminers and secured the important victory. The Coalminers then disbanded, and The Blacksmith would go on to bigger things in the Heavyweight division while The Woodcarver, frustrated by a string of recent upsets, left wrestling for good. In 2005 and 2006, Ananzi and Brits would battle Road Rage and Scorpion Kruger and Terri Middoux in numerous WWP classics. Although they were on an impressive winning streak, Danie Brits would betray Ananzi in 2006 by abandoning him during a tag title match. Ananzi got away unscathed, though, and swore vengeance upon his betrayer. He honoured AW Bulldog with one-half of the titles as a replacement for Brits. Ananzi and Danie Brits then engaged in a bitter student-mentor rivalry which seemed to never end when AW Bulldog, whom Ananzi had trusted up to this point, aligned himself with Brits, causing them to lose the belts to the powerhouse duo of Fury and Rage, known together as Road Rage. Road Rage dominated the tag team division and beat all comers until they lost unfairly to Scorpion Kruger and Terri Middoux, two wrestlers known for their cheating antics. Their reign didn't last long, as Kilimanjaro and Kwaito Kid, two crowd favourites, defeated them and celebrated their win with the fans in late 2007.
The Weasels stepped onto the scene in 2008 as part of the WDP faction headed by "The Weasel" Mark Beale. On December 20, 2008, Kilimanjaro betrayed his tag team partner Kwaito Kid after signing a contract to join the WDP earlier on the show, before allowing The Weasels to take the victory and steal the WWP World Tag Team Titles. After several weeks of domination, The Weasels finally lost to Tornado on February 28. Tornado, after waging war for two years in a brutal blood feud, was now the newly-crowned WWP World Tag Team Champion, and became the first to overcome the WDP.
