The Kabuki Warriors Become Longest Reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions

The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) are now the longest reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. The duo has held the titles for 121 days, surpassing the reign of The IIconics (Billie Kay & Peyton Royce).

The Kabuki Warriors won the Women’s Tag Team Titles on October 6, 2019 by defeating Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross at WWE Hell in a Cell. They have made four successful defenses of the titles, including a victory over Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch at WWE TLC in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles were first won by The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection (Bayley & Sasha Banks) at WWE Elimination Chamber 2019.

WWE, then known as WWF, had another set of tag team championships decades ago that had much longer reigns. However, the titles were rarely defended. Asuka and Kairi Sane already have as many documented successful title defenses to their credit as any of the holders of the WWF iteration of the titles. 

This is the second such record Asuka holds, as she is also the longest-reigning NXT Women’s Champion of all time. 

Asuka is scheduled to take on Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Title next Monday on WWE Raw.
