It’s a major accomplishment when a wrestler wins the WWE Championship, and over the years fans have seen a number of custom championships appear on WWE programming. Steve Austin introduced the world to the smoking skull belt, Daniel Bryan created an eco-friendly title belt, and of course John Cena’s spinner belt was the main WWE Championship belt that was used on TV for years.
During a recent episode of his Six Feet Under podcast The Undertaker was asked if he would have wanted a custom belt when he was champion, and he explained why he prefers to keep the traditional look for the championship.
“No. I’m a traditionalist. I’m old school. Whatever the world title is, that’s what I wanted to represent. As cool as [the custom belt] is, it’s one of the nicest looking belts I’ve seen, I would have wanted one of the traditional belts, unless it was the spinner belt, which was awful. If I had my choice, the spinner belt or [custom belt], I would have gone with the [custom belt].
I always like the traditional championships. Back then, it was more about being the champion than marketing. I’m not opposed to making money. I just think there are certain traditions and things that should be untouched. The championship should be the championship.”
