Daniel Bryan has been teasing the idea of a new WWE Title belt ever since he won the championship back in November, and this week on SmackDown Live, the current WWE Champion finally got rid of the old leather strap. Bryan introduced a new title made of sustainable hemp, and he debuted it on SmackDown Live.

According to WrestleVotes, WWE actually created two different designs for Daniel Bryan’s WWE Title belt.
The other isn’t so drastic. Features an “eco” sourced strap, and “recycled” materials to make up the plates. Still shines. I’d go with the wood option, but we’ll see.
