WWE revived wrestling's most chaotic rule in 2019 and put it on a bright green belt. What the 24/7 Championship was, why it was not just called the Hardcore title, and why the colour was the smartest thing about the design.
For four months the world champion carried two belts, because WWF unified two titles before building one to represent them. The story of the Undisputed Championship, the design that followed, and what to check when buying a replica.
WWE's butterfly belt ran from 2008 to 2016 and was retired for what it represented rather than how it performed. The origin, the design argument, the records, the WrestleMania 32 ending, and what it takes to have one built now that nobody stocks it.
The WWE Women's Championship name has covered at least three different belts since 1956. This guide sorts out the classic title, the 2016 revival and the brand-specific versions, then covers the AEW, ROH and NWA alternatives and what to check before buying.
The ROH Pure Championship is the rare belt defined by its rules rather than its design. Three rope breaks, no closed fists to the face, and a title that can change hands on a countout. The 2004 origin, the disputed rope break that decided it, and the 2020 revival.
Ring of Honor's world title was carried by CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and Seth Rollins before anyone else noticed. Its 2002 origin, Samoa Joe's 645-day reign, four design eras including the Jay Briscoe memorial, and the side plate idea worth borrowing for a custom belt.
What a fantasy football belt actually costs, how long it takes to build, and the order-by date most commissioners miss. Written for the person who has to organise it.
Tag team belts are the only championship that comes in pairs, and the pair has to match. What that means for cost, what to check when they arrive, how to display two belts, and what to decide before commissioning a custom set for a tag division.
WWE has run two tag titles at once, unified them, retired the older one, split them again and swapped the names. This untangles the lineage from 1971 onward and explains how to identify which era a belt belongs to using strap colour and plate colour.
Hulk Hogan held twelve world titles across two companies, which is why a Hogan belt could mean four different designs. How to tell the eras apart, the WCW title the nWo spray painted, and why his consistency of presentation matters more than any single belt.
The nWo represented a faction rather than a promotion, and its most famous belt was made with a can of spray paint over the Big Gold. What the black and white belts were, why monochrome worked so well on television, and the colour lesson for a custom title.
The WWE spinner belt is the only championship design with a moving part, and that mechanism is why reproductions vary so wildly. How it works, why cheap ones bind and seize, the checks that matter, and what to specify if you want a spinner built to your own design.
