2. White WWF Intercontinental Title
Introduced in 2011, to accompany the title reign of Cody Rhodes, the white leather of the WWE Intercontinental Title is extremely well-presented. Sadly, the title doesn't mean quite as much as it once did, but at least fans have a pretty belt to look at, right? Down throughout the years, the Intercontinental Title has had numerous customisations in colour, including yellow for The Ultimate Warrior, blue for Shawn Michaels, and gold for Goldust, with even a purple strap previously being used too. Before Rhodes brought the title back to the more classic design, used between 1985-1998, WWE had a more rounded title belt to distinguish their secondary champion, running with that from 1998-2011. Notably, in an era when WWE dislike traditional nuances of their product, and instruct announcers not to call performers "wrestlers", there are classic-looking grapplers on the sideplates of the belt, exhibiting various holds and moves. It'd be nice if the Intercontinental Title could get back to the glory days of old, but it's rarely defended nowadays, and is one of the best examples of how WWE view their titles. Thankfully, at least the belt itself looks good, and the white adds a classy touch to proceedings, making it one of the more appealing titles under the WWE umbrella.
