Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championship

The Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the Pure-J promotion. The title is named after the Daily Sports newspaper.[1] The championship was introduced by the JWP Joshi Puroresu promotion on August 3, 2008, when Harukura (Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki) defeated Manami Toyota and Yumiko Hotta in a tournament final to become the inaugural champions.[1] The title was afterwards defended together with the JWP Tag Team Championship, with only one exception. On January 16, 2011, Harukura successfully defended just the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championship against Hailey Hatred and Kaori Yoneyama.[3] Together, the two titles were sometimes referred to as the "JWP Double Crown Tag Team Championship".[4] When JWP Joshi Puroresu went out of business in April 2017, the two titles were separated again with the JWP title remaining with the JWP production company, while the Daily Sports title moved on to Command Bolshoi's new follow-up promotion,[5][6] Pure-J.[7][8]
