Being a professional wrestling championship, it is not won via direct competition; it is instead won via a predetermined ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a wrestling angle. Johnny Gargano and Rich Swann are the current champions in their first reign both individually and as a team.

Tournament

A three-day round robin tournament was held from January 28–30, 2011; which involved four teams. The four teams were World-1 members Masato Yoshino and Pac, Ronin members Johnny Gargano and Chuck Taylor, Blood Warriors members Naruki Doi and Ricochet, and Blood Warriors members Cima and Dragon Kid.

The tournament was a points based tournament with wins getting two points, a draw one point, and a loss was zero points.
