The New WWE Championship


There's a pretty detailed backstory on the new WWE Championship (which I've warmed up to over the past 24 hours) over on WWE.com:

There are also some exclusive photos of the new title:

The championship surely isn't perfect, but like I said, I've warmed up to it a bit.  Perhaps knowing the thought process that went into it helps (such as the fact that they actively decided not to include an eagle or globe).  And seeing more detailed photos (as well as the replica on WWEShop.com, which has superior side plates) gave me a new appreciation as well.

The real test will be to see how it looks around somebody's waist (like CM Punk, for example, who wore the title instead of carrying it on his shoulder).

Overall, what do you guys think?
