"The WWE Intercontinental Championship belt and the WWE U.S. Championship belt may both soon be receiving a new design if the latest scoop over at Reddit is to be believed.
A user known as dvizzle, who goes by "Da Belt Guy" on BeltTalk.com often receives reliable information on title belt updates for WWE.
He posted "Both New WWE IC and US Belts Are Coming":
"I was told they were looking into a new IC belt back in November, but a different source said they are replacing both Midcard belts.
No eta, no clue on design other than it's NOT copies of the Big Logo.
He revealed the details behind the new Universal Championship in August."
Please dont make all the belts look the same just with different colours!!! That would suck big time. The IC Title is the only legit looking title on tv at the minute
I'd hope that they at least won't be coppies of the Universal, Womens, and World titles.
Wouldn't be surprised and could live with it if they are very similar to eachother (even if I'd rather not), but I'd be very disappointed if they're just more clones with the colours changed up.
The IC and US titles are absolutely fine. The problem they have is that the world titles (and women's title) look pretty much identical, they should have tried harder with them
I think it's less people thinking the US title is great looking and more worried about how a modern US title will look like. TBH I first was cool with the US title changing because it's been that way for over 10 years and as you said it's not particularly good. But with the track record of Title designs in the last few years.... no thanks.
I know that they do it a lot in boxing and MMA, but one of the coolest aesthetics about the titles in pro wrestling is how distinct each one looked from the others.
Bittersweet if true, since I really dislike the IC Title's current look (infinitely prefer its late '90s-2000s design), but love the U.S. Title's look.
Surely the new designs can't be lazy shit a la the Universal Title, Women's Titles and the Tag Team Titles, but we'll have to wait and see.
They say won't be a copy of the big W, inb4 they're just recolored Cruiserweight Championships. Or some kind of modified center variant of the main championship design like they did with the UK Championship.
Lol I wonder if we're going to get the same intercontintal belt design just with a blue strap and the same with the US title... which would be kinda awful but at least the main plate would stay. The white strap needs to stay tho..
As others have said, they're the last two belts that need a re-design. Especially the IC title.
To give WWE some credit though, the new UK title looks awesome. That gives some hope that they won't be just different coloured copies of the Universal Title.
