Word that WWE has newly designed championships has been rumored for weeks, and Fightful has learned more.
Those that we've spoken to claim that there are at least three new sets of title belts that are finished and currently in hand by WWE. Belt Fan Dan highlighted a couple of those as new tag team belts. Dan noted they're the existing design with a black strap, dual plates and a big WWE logo in the middle of them. He also stated there are old never used tag team titles, which look like the women's tag titles on colored straps. WWE sources also indicated that other design alterations have been mentioned, though we didn't get much elaboration on that.
Several WWE talent we've spoken to of late have said that they'd been in favor of some changes to title belts personally. We asked about velcro vs. snaps, and several of the talent said that the velcro helps them when they need to attach the belt quickly, but cosmetically it looks bad.
Those that we've spoken to say that there were already plans in motion to utilize some new designs before the huge WWE regime change. However, Triple H hasn't exactly been shy about changing things, and we're told that has largely accelerated some things. We've heard that additional cosmetic changes to things across Raw, Smackdown and NXT could also be on the horizon. We've already seen logo changes on NXT.
A WWE talent reached out after this story ran to say they have yet to physically see the title belt changes.
