John Cena On How Involved He Was With The Creation Of The WWE Spinner Belt

The WWE Championship is without a doubt one of the most prestigious belts in the history of the business, and every once in a while a WWE Champion introduces their own custom belt.

Back in 2005 John Cena introduced the spinner belt to the world, and the company stuck with that design until a new belt was introduced in 2013.

The spinner belt is now infamous, and during a recent episode of WWE Untold Cena explained that he was very involved in the creation of the design.

How I was about the Spinner championship belt — I was much more involved and meticulous about the design. Where the diamonds should be, the size of the diamonds, the shape of the spinner, the size of the diamonds on the inside of the spinner, where the colored gems should be, the difference in metal, what the leather should feel like. Like, I was so much more into that.”

Edge also got to introduce his own Rated-R Championship version of the title belt, but the WWE Hall of Famer made it clearly that he absolutely hated spinner belts.

“I hated the spinner belts, despised them. When they came to me and said, ‘we’re going to do a Rated-R Championship,’ I was like, ‘Right. Let me get to work.’ I went home. I drew up a beautiful championship. I mean, this thing was badass. Then I show up and they’re like, ‘well, no, we’re just going to put your logo in.’ I was like, ‘that’s it? Because Edge wouldn’t want a spinner belt.’ To me, this is the one championship that needs to look like a championship, not like some of these hubcaps.”
