The WWWF then established their own original world tag team championship, the "WWWF World Tag Team Championship" in 1971. Following the title's introduction, Luke Graham and Tarzan Tyler became the inaugural champions on June 3. In 1979, the title became known as the "WWF Tag Team Championship" when the promotion was renamed to World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was subsequently renamed to "WWF World Tag Team Championship" in 1983, but was often referred to as the "WWF Tag Team Championship" for short.
