There were two tournaments for CMLL World Tag Team Championship in 1994. Blame Canek.

During the summer of 1994, Canek & Dr. Wagner Jr. were tag team champions, but CMLL was under the impression Canek would soon be leaving the company. To prepare for this, they started a tournament for new champions even before Canek even left. As it turned out, Canek had not left by the time the tournament took place, so the tournament was repositioned as a number one contenders tournament.

The tournament was a sixteen team tournament. Exact dates are unknown, but it was probably a three week tournament during the summer.

As things would turn out, Canek did end up leaving CMLL, but only after the tournament had happened and before the title match with Texano and Silver King could take place. Instead of awarding the championship to the number one contenders, CMLL held another tournament to determine the number two contenders.

This tournament took started on November 11, and also included 16 teams. In this tournament, Dr. Wagner Jr. took a replacement partner of Pierroth. Many participants from the first tournament participated in the second one, some with new partners.
