Every Major Wrestling Title Ranked From The Ugliest To Most Beautiful

11. WWE NXT / NXT Women’s

It’s very bold, colourful, hyper-geometric design, and much like NXT itself, it shouldn’t work - but somehow does. 

It’s the old NXT title design splashed with lots of lovely iridescent colour: a ‘2.0’ hangover. It doesn’t strive for classical beauty. It wants to be cool and hip and vibrant. NXT has actually improved, considerably, in growing a youthful audience, so again: it’s nothing if not apt. The huge ‘X’ is weirdly prominent. The cross sign is literally the opposite of a symbol of success. It is fundamentally stupid, so much so that there’s a certain charm to it. 

But NXT is… like that, isn’t it?
