A newly-designed WWE Intercontinental Championship belt was revealed tonight on SmackDown, with Sami Zayn presenting it to the current champ, Shinsuke Nakamura.
The previous iteration with the white strap has been around since 2011 (unveiled by Cody Rhodes) and was based on the title’s design from 1985-1997.
WWE posted some renderings of the new belt, which you can see below, but the real thing, with its very reflective surface, looks a lot better in my opinion.
