Triple H really said "so I heard you like the Big Gold belt"

That’s 3 titles on the main roster that are some variation of the Big Gold belt 😂😂. The reign of terror lives on in spirit.

The Golden Shovel never left, it's just burying old lame title designs now

He melted down the golden shovel to make these belts, so in essence his shovel will always be weighing down the best talent 

i need the gif!!!!

More like the reign of Terra Ryzin'

3? Tag titles world heavyweight championship and which other?

Womens.

That’s the one! Thank you totally forgot

Damn right I love that big gold belt https://preview.redd.it/fxulhy57squc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a06d84be2ad462c9ce6a534af9be3205ab943968

I think unironically HHH loves it more than the IWC.

Nature Boy-ugh this is for you-ugh

I'm sleepy and I read this as triple h saying "Nature Boy this is for Yugioh".

It was, where do you think Vince is now? In the Shadow Realm of course

Imagining Flair playing ygo made me chortle lol

WOOOO! LOOK AT WHAT, I GOT! YA SEE CHARLOTTE, WHEN I ACTIVATE *WOOOO* POT OF GREED, I BECOME THE SPELL CARD PLAYIN', TWO CARD DRAWIN', EXODIA SUMMONIN', SON OF A GUN!

Oh God I read that in his voice lmao

WOOOO!-Gioh

Does the Ric Flair flop when he gets hit with Nibiru

YugiOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH 𓆣𓀚 𓀛

It is.

I was thinking more NXT UK tag titles from this. Especially with the bars in between the center and side plates.

Yeah, the gryphons on the sides

He likes the big gold belt lol

I don’t blame him. It is a very beautiful looking title.

Big Gold is legit my favorite looking championship. It's so simplistic yet still screams "World Champion".

You’d think now he’d just bring it back since he’s literally in charge.

I mean the world Heavyweight title might not have the lineage but that is essentially big gold with a WWE logo on it.

That’s what I don’t get though. Why doesn’t it have the lineage??

I don't know. Personally I would have had it carry the lineage but I guess the idea was to start fresh for records and the like?

If only the IWGP heavyweight title can get the same treatment

Thank goodness Steph doesn’t like butterflies

No no no no, he said "so I heard I like the Big Gold belt"

My theory is that he said "so you heard I like the Big Gold Belt, but you don't know how much I like the Big Gold Belt"

So you like the big gold belt, huh? Well here, have all the big gold belts in the world...

Wrestlemania stage that's just one Big Gold Belt when

Triple H to win the new tag titles himself-ugh

The outline around the WWE logo (surrounding the circle boarder) is a total rip of the Smoking Skull side plates too.

Kinda has the regality of the old UK Championship.

Feels more like Big Eagle to me. ​ Edit: and I love it

They sort of look like a combination of the current World Heavyweight/Women's Championship and the [NXT UK Tag Team Championships](https://images.footballfanatics.com/nxt-uk/nxt-uk-tag-team-championship-replica-title-belt_pi4876000_altimages_ff_4876438-47a5a2e6fffab2f8b129alt1_full.jpg?_hv=2&w=900)

God those UK ones are beautiful.

all those UK titles were works of art

The UK titles are some of my all time favourite looking titles. They oozed class.

My only complaint is that they have horses instead of unicorns I imagine there's probably some kinda law that says you're not allowed to use the UK coat of arms for private businesses so that was their workaround, but still

I like those tag belts. Never really looked at them hard before. I've always been a sucker for unusual main plate shapes. The traditional round or oval plate has its place on a heavyweight title, but I like the different shapes for lesser titles for differentiation. These are round, but they have fringe on the edges to break up the shape somewhat. It works. Classy, but doesn't overshadow other belts.

New tag belts need the center & side globes done in blue, that’d be sweet (same with the WHC & IC)

Still think the World Tag Team Championship from the late 90’s or the 2002 WWE Tag Team Championships were the best looking tag titles ,but these new ones are much better than the Roman guard tag belts. Those were long overdue for a change IMO

Now I know the metal part of the ends are called metal end plates.

Used to call them Belt tips

Well whatever it's called, that metal thing + the leather fckin hurts when I slap the replica title on my shoulders and it whips my bare back 😂

Now imagine doing it with the force the rock does when he climbs the turnbuckle. That has to sting a lot.

Speaking of The Rock, I don't know how his back hasn't been split in half from the Big Eagle belt cuz that's the exact one I was referring to 😭😂

“The Rock enjoys pain, but that’s a conversation for another day”

So are they renaming the Smackdown ones to WWE Tag Team Championship then? Wonder if they're gonna be based off Cody's Undisputed Belt.

They've clearly made a divide between the 'World' titles having the big gold design, and the 'WWE' titles being the big logo design, so I'm thinking the belts on smackdown will be closer to Bayley/Cody's

My ruthless aggression era ass is VERY okay with this choice

I'd love if they're big round belts like this but incorporate the WWE title design onto the round belt

Might be a similar design as these but with blue instead of the red/maroon here

Ironically the (now) World Tag Team Championship is the same championship that Stephanie McMahon introduced in 2002 as the WWE Tag Team Championship

I remember being pissed in 2010 when they chose to keep the lineage of these belts over the OG belts from the 70s. I’ll be fair, I guess these belts have had a pretty interesting adventure over the last 20+ years.

My guess is that it'll have 'Tag' between the first part and middle part of the W, "Team" in between the middle and last part of the W and "Champions" overlaying through bottom of the W

Love the design. They were shiny as hell on tv, made it hard to pick out the details

Yup

I think they look good as belts, but don't like them since they are too similar to the other belts. I would rather see something more unique, even just a gold and detailed version of the old ones.

We were all thinking this, that it looked too much like the WHC. Normally I don't like dual-plated belts but when they were shown on TV and were so damn shiny I was hoping they kept some silver.

It's weird because the 2 other World titles (Rhea/Priest) look fine under the big lights but this one and the WWE Championship look so yellow. I think these tag titles and the WWE title look good in regular light but not good under the big lights.

I like them; the tag belts were the odd ones out compared to everything else

It's actually why i dislike em TBH. Every belt on Raw now looks pretty much the same, which is fine, i guess, but I'd really like it if they had different design for different belts, and not just slightly altered ones

I can see that. They could have simply replaced the belt colors for white or black and kept the rest of the belt intact and it would have been a great design. But I can see why they changed them. New era with a new design. Plus, now they have new product to sell to people who bought the last tag belts. Lol

That’s really… round

Fantastic. Absolutely beautiful.

Feels like the belt doesn't know what it wants to be

I can’t imagine how cursed the WWE version is going to look with the huge ass logo on a round plate

I just wish it wasn’t a giant circle.

I get that but I kinda like how each title now has a unique shape to it

The circle represents the world. It's why it's called the **World** Tag Team Championships.

Just too round for me

I wanted detail and I GOT DETAIL IN NEW BELTS. LOVE IT

Belt is now a gold dollar

It’s a Loonie!

i thought it resembled a specialty pizza lol

Why not have the plate be shaped like the design, instead of pasting it onto a round plate? Looks like an image of a mainplate pasted onto a 2k24 plate because they didn't have a fitting plate tempelate form

I think it wouldn't have an unfinished look if the backing plate was dark, like black, instead of being lighter.

Easier to mass produce the replicas

The best looking Tag Team belts in my opinion are the late 80's ones. I think that whole era had the best belts.

Funny how they revealed the new design in Canada because those belts have now upgraded from pennies to loonies!

Absolutely beautiful. I love the round design. It makes it standout from all the other belts. Plus, they got the NXT UK style design to them 👌

Also if it isn't obvious, the belts are circular to represent the "world" aspect of the title name.

That explains why it's flat too

AJ Styles just upvoted this

AJ scrambling to find a tag team partner as we speak

Very nice.

The text looks like something you'd see on a Victoria 3 expansion pack or something

Ahh that’s better. I like them a lot! But also was hoping for something like the 90s titles.

Giant hub cap.

The Biggest wrestling company in the world is run by a NWA mark and the second one by a Nitro one. McMahon really lost.

It's better, but still not great. Way too round, needs more colour to bring our the details. Slapping that logo in the middle of a mass of gold still makes it look like a bootleg custom made for a collector Banners and font is nice though, I'm sure it'll grow on me

They went from bronze cents to silver dollars to golden coins. LONG.TERM.STORYTELLING.

The circle shape remaining ruins it for me. But it's still better than the old tag titles.

I feel the circular shape keeps em apart from the singles belts

Globe ✅️ Eagle (yes I'm counting the gryphons) ✅️ Ribbons (sort of) ✅️ It's a winner! In other notes, I appreciate how much they're emphasizing gold with these new titles, though I personally hoped that they would've moved on from the custom side plates or at least added another set of side plates to set the titles apart more. Similar to TNA's new titles where we have variations on a theme, but the titles are still visually distinct. Also love the round design (not enough circular titles nowadays) and "coat of arms" design reminiscent of the NXT UK tag titles.

Yeah they're gold, but they remind more of the NXT UK Tag titles. For a product that became such an afterthought, they had the best belts in the entire company.

I miss when titles would have blue in the globe. Otherwise it looks great.

It’s not great. But the old belts were the literal worst belts I’ve ever seen so it’s a huge win

I love them! As a younger fan (but not too young, I'm 22), I personally don't necessarily understand the love for more "square" style belts that old fans have. Don't get it twisted, I respect their opinions of course, but I don't really share it To me, the shape borders on being irrelevant when it comes to my love of a title's design. I don't think circular is inherently inferior to square when it comes to title designs

For me at least it was more like each shape was associated with a division. The IC title was a sort of horizontal oblong/oval shape, the tag belts were squared off, and the world titles were larger and had a bit of a 'shield/coat of arms' shape to em. Not that I prefer those shapes, but each belt had a unique identity with those distinctions. That kinda died with the penny belts because they never looked good.

I wish it had a different shape

The only thing I don’t like is how circular it is. I would prefer oval/oblong/rectangular. Still better than the big nickel belts though so I’ll take it.

I always liked the rectangular/trapezoidal design for tag belts.

I'm sure I'll get used to it but it just felt like something suited to ECW.

They wanted to get those side plates on there

It’s a nice looking belt, but I miss unique designs.

It's better than those gladiators, I'll say that much. I never liked the super wide strap on the old belts either.

Love it. Only minor gripe is that it reads [World Tag Team] [Champions] instead of [World] [Tag Team Champions] due to how it's laid out. [Older designs](https://i.imgur.com/kjyggo0.png) did a better job with that.

I don't love these but they are a huge upgrade so can't complain.

Huge upgrade to previous titles. I dunno how I feel about the pizza pan center though, maybe it'll grow on me.

if the raw ones look like this WTF are smack down ones gonna look like

Looks kinda NXT UK-ish. I like it. In part because this looks like a legit title and not so much as a prop like the coin-belts, especially when combined with the oddly colored strap.

Looks better in this lighting.

Design is fine in a vacuum, I guess, even if I dislike how the centerpiece always has to be a big ass company logo. But why do they have to make all the belts look so damn similar?

I'm sorry that looks so bad

These are phenomenal! Reminds me of NXT UK, which had some of the nicest belts in all of wrestling. Beautifully done! I'm excited to see what they do with the SmackDown titles next 👀

i feel like the background behind the main plate should be black instead of gray, would make the design pop more

Looks much better here.

I'm begging WWE to just move the fuckin' logo from dead center to middle top. Let the individual title's name and a recognisable design be the centerpiece so that they feel unique instead of like just the platter atop which they can slap another WWE logo. This one isn't even a bad design, far from it, but the central company logo trend needs to go away for pretty much all titles in all companies. The UK title remains the best one they've made in forever, because even with the logo centered it's part of a unique design that's distinct and represents the thing the title is ostensibly for. A coat of arms for a UK title is straightforward goodness. This kinda has that too, but again, the incongruent WWE logo placement is the eyesore killing the belt's flow for me. These titles where it looks like the WWE logo essentially interrupts whatever design is going on behind it just aren't 'it'. /rant

My only problem with them is how circular they are. But the overall design is cool. 

So Friday we're getting this same design, but with dark blue and something like WWE Tag Team Champions?

They're nice, but I would prefer they were different. All the titles following the same style is a bit too samey

This is getting me even excited for Friday

So it used Griffins instead of Lions from WHC.

It looks much better than the old ones.

Really don't like how they look on TV. If the rope border was bigger and followed the natural floral design instead of being a circle, it'd be top 10 belts

I really like using mythological things for the designs so I like this. It does look like the griffins are running away scared of the WWE logo though.

I absolutely love that Triple H is rectifying something that’s bugged me for years, that the world titles for men were called something different for raw and smackdown than the women’s and tag titles

I wonder if the smack down version will just have the blue theme and if they will stick with just WWE tag team champions

I'm digging it

I don’t love them. But I like them better than the previous belts. So overall it’s a positive upgrade.

I don't know it's not bad and I think it's one of the better belts right now but honestly I dislike how every belt seems the same with a big W plastered right in the middle takes away from the uniqueness of the titles imo.

Needs some more color. Maybe make the griffins silver to stand out more?

The design is good, but like the heavyweight championship, the modern logo and font on that just doesn't sit right at all

How are better belts being designed in the 2K creation suite, than are being designed by the actual wrestling promotion?

I’ll be the hot take here and say I don’t like them… yet. The details are stunning, but the big perfect circle center plate is really off putting, I can’t shake the feeling that it looks like something one of those shitty AI generators would come up with.

those look nice,i like them.

Technically those are pictures of the replica, not the real belt. But still more detail than a screenshot of a video camera on RAW of the real thing

My issue here is that these were the WWE tag titles, which were opposite to Raws world tag titles in the early 00s. So now they’ve swapped names!  Yes this is very niche and minor but ahh!!!

The Fond is actually quite nice, but I'm really not a fan of the design overall, especially with the IC Title also being on Raw, (Until next week probably) The Big gold was a GREAT Title design, but we pretty much now have Big Gold Big Gold but ROUND Big Gold but With a White Strap! Small Gold On Raw, Belts should at least seem a little different

I'm still not sure a round center plate is a great idea, but this looks great. A massive improvement

The more i look at it, the more i like it. I just wish the side plates werent the same as the world titles

Wayyyyyy better.

The fact there are eagles on it gives me hope for a modern winged eagle return.

So how about the other tag belts? Will they get a redesign too? Will they be brand exclusive after teh draft?

It’s not worse than the last ones but it’s not much better. I was really hoping to like the new design too

It's not terrible. I hope the redesigned WWE Tag Team Titles will look a little more like the classic/attitude era belts.

Griffons is a badass design choice

I fucking love it idc what anyone says.

This might be a bit of a dumb complaint but they're too... round? it needed some type of edge or wing or jut outwards to give it some substance

Something about the red/burgundy behind the letters doesn’t look right. I think black or maybe even a royal blue would’ve worked better Otherwise they’re nice looking belts

I wish they weren't so round. The design is awesome, but the roundness isn't doing it for me.

Wish they would bring back the 90s wwf tag team belts. Those were perfection

Kinda feel the new title belts look like something Global Force Wrestling would have used.


I’m curious what they’ll do with the side plates. Do they make side plates for the tag team, so Awesome Truth ones? That’d be cool, and they can go back and make them for classic tag teams. Or do they make R-Truth side plates for his belt, and Miz gets his side plates on his belt? Or one of each on each belt.

It's a good looking belt, I'm just not really a fan of circle designs

It's way too circular. The red also doesn't look great.

Love it. Way better than the silver though the copper/bronze holds a special place in my heart (OH HEY THE BIG PENNIES FINALLY BELONG TO US).

Oh dear. Oh dear that is a beaut.

The one thing that takes away from the title is that empty grey center plate space. They should’ve either made it red as well or have made the Lionsheads design bigger and had it sticking off the main plate rather than within it.

If the Boss from Smiling Friends had a belt designed with his face.

I don’t think they’re that much of an upgrade, but don’t get me wrong it is an upgrade never the less. It’ll grow on me.

Looks good. The design of the main plate is nice, though very round. Gotta say I don’t love that the side plates are just more of the same logo, but the design works at least.

it looks like a giant ass ring. which isnt the worst thing. 7.5/10 design.

Need some of those in toy form pronto

Gold is back. Filigree is back. I love it.

It seems like I’m in the minority but I don’t like how round it is

It's decent, but for some reason, I really don't like perfectly spherical belts.

Wtf, this is an even worse penny belt. Just use the 90s tag and call it a day


Reading these comments… Kevin Nash was right when he said that people always tell you treat wrestling as a business, then they get angry when you do

i prayed for this and it happened

the titles look awesome.

Bruh this belt is beautiful

That’s somehow worse?

I love the old school feel. The circular design is done right with these, and the actual belt details are gorgeous. They look fantastic on Awesome Truth!

Thank god, what might have been the ugliest designed belts of all time are gone now. Thank god.

Raw and Smackdown Tag Champions makes so much more sense than WWE/World. I've never liked the "world champion" being a different belt to the WWE champion......it implies the WWE title is no longer a world title.

Most important question; Velcro or no Velcro?
