History of Championship
The last known UWA World Tag Team Champions in Mexico were Villano IV & Villano V, and they may still have belts for all we know. In Japan, NOSAWA & MASADA appeared with their own version (and backstory) for the belts, then lost them in their first known defense to El Dorado's Kagetora & Kota Ibushi on March 26, 2008

Disputed Branch (Tapatios)
In the post-UWA era, during the long stretch where their Villano's championships were inactive, Los Rayo Tapatios briefly defended and lost a set of the tag team championship as the UWA World Tag Team Championships. These might have been the Distrio Federal Tag championships under a different name (getting around not being defending in DF.)

Disputed Branch (Japan)
In 2008, Nosawa and Masada proclaimed themselves as UWA World Tag Team Champions, claiming they had defeated Rayo de Tapatio I & Rayo de Tapatio II in July 2000. (They apparently kept the title win quiet for a good six to eight years.) It's possible these were the belts the Tapatios were defending, or that they purchased them from the Villanos or the belts were just grabbed out of a closet somewhere.
Nosawa & Masada quickly lost the championship to El Dorado's KAGETORA & Kota Ibushi. El Dorado's ancestral promotion, Toryumon, used the UWA World Trios Championship among other UWA titles, and it appears as though the tag team titles may serve a similiar purpose of giving a newer group some additional legitimacy new championships wouldn't provide.
There's no actual connection to the UWA, which has been deceased for many years, but UWA means something in that niche. The Japan belts means as much as the Mexico belts - there's no governing body or promotion backing them, they're simply whatever the people who have them want them to be. However, since there's a trail of title events to explain the Mexico branch and there's not the same with the Japan branch, the El Dorado championships are decided to be a Disputed Branch.
