Gaining control of Contested War Zone doesn’t cause it to tap or untap.

2011-06-01wotc

The word “you” in a permanent’s trigger condition always refers to the permanent’s current controller.

2011-06-01wotc

In some multiplayer formats, creatures controlled by different players may deal combat damage to you simultaneously. If this happens, you control each triggered ability and can put them on the stack in any order. The last ability to resolve will determine who ends up controlling Contested War Zone.
