10 Best Title Designs in WWE History

Throughout the history of professional wrestling almost
synonymous with the wrestlers themselves are the titles they
hold.
From the big gold belt to the intercontinental title, winning a
championship in an industry that they love is a dream and I’m
sure that most wrestlers want the belt that is raised above their
head to be aesthetically pleasing as well.
As we saw in the first
ever universal title match, the look is a huge deal and that’s why
without further ado, here are the 10 Best.
10: IC: A classic which remains.
The IC title has seen various
designs over the years, but the one which went away as the
Attitude Era got under way, suddenly made a comeback with
Cody Rhodes in 2011.
It’s been through good times, and bad
times, but the look of the title stays true to the legends who held
it in the 80’s and 90’s and is one of the best looking belts in WWE
today.
9: Undisputed: First introduced in 2002, the WWE Undisputed
Championship belt was created to consolidate the WWE and WCW
Championship belts (that originally represented the
championship) into one title.
It was first worn by Triple H after
becoming the second Undisputed Champion at WrestleMania X8.
It has a simple yet nice looking center and is a staple of the
infamous ruthless aggression era.
8: US: Think about the most American design you could place on
a title, then multiply that by 5, that’s what WWE are doing with
the current US title and it really is working.
The title features two
statues of liberty as the plates and a simple American flag in the
middle.
It’s a perfect title for the American fans and looks at
home with people like Cena, Angle, etc.
7: Hardcore: A personal favorite of mine, the hardcore title may
have looked like it was thrown together in 5 minutes, but that
was the purpose of the design.
It was supposed to look like it was
beaten down, broken and battered just like the champion who
had to fight for it.
The hardcore title was possibly one of the most
fun belts in the history of WWE.
6: SC Belt: The only custom design on this list and obviously the
best custom design is the special Stone Cold Steve Austin
“smoking skull” belt.
Being one of the most captivating figures in
WWE history it’s only fitting that the design for the belt was a
major success as well, perfectly fitting in with the stone cold
character it had a skull in the middle with rattlesnakes on the
side, what’s cooler than that?
5: WWE title (now): The current major title in the WWE and the
title with the most history in WWE is of course the WWE world
title.
The current belt worn by superstars like Brock Lesnar, Aj
Styles, Dean Ambrose and many more is a nice and simple design
with its own special feature of having customizable side plates for
each new champion.
4: NXT: since its debut in 2012, the current NXT format has been
an absolute hit and has title quality to prove it.
As recently as
WrestleMania weekend this title was scrapped but that doesn’t
mean it wasn’t a phenomenal design.
The all gold color with the
massive X in the middle made it one of the cooler looking belts in
WWE and was a great belt while it lasted.
3: Attitude Era: Another installment of the WWE championship
makes it onto our list and it is completely deserving as well.
The
title that Mick Foley raised above his head or so many other great
attitude era moments before and after that, The “Big Eagle” was
a spinoff of the winged eagle and was a stunning belt held by
many of the all-time greats.
2: BGB: The king of simplicity and one of the oldest belts on our
list, The Big Gold Belt nailed everything from size to shape to
design to everything about it.
While first being the NWA title held
by Ric Flair, the title was later adopted into the WWE and became
the world heavyweight title where it would be held by such
legends as John Cena, The undertaker, Triple H, Edge and so
many more.
1: Winged Eagle: Topping the list has to be the Winged Eagle
WWE World Championship.
In use during the wrestling boom in
the mid 80’s there has never been a more spectacular group of
legends to hold a single design of the WWE title From Hulk to
Savage, to Andre and Michaels and more.
The winged eagle was
an absolutely breathtaking design and couldn’t be topped by any
in the history of WWE.
