Look at that thing. It's majestic.

At a time when WWE's title belts increasingly look like children's' toys, it was nice to see AEW unleash a World Title that actually looks like a World Title. It's just a big old black strap with a bunch of gold plates: no gimmicks, no bells and whistles, no bullsh*t. It looks like a prize worth winning. It's beautiful.

It's a shame that the reveal ceremony wasn't handled better, because the AEW World Title deserved stronger direction. Nonetheless, the designers have played a blinder here.
