Every Major Wrestling Title Ranked From Ugliest To Most Beautiful

6. NXT Championship

AEW World Tag Team Championship
WWE

A beautiful bit of hardware, the design of the NXT Championship reflects the values of the brand: large in size to mirror is stature, the shape echoes a classic belt but the plate design, with its huge lettering, is thoroughly modern. This captures NXT's strive to strip back sports entertainment into something more traditional, while at the same time presenting state-of-the-art in-ring action.

In contrast to the WWE Championship, it unashamedly embraces its origins. It's all gold, and that X looks like two slabs of bullion stacked on top of one another: a lovely representation of its cracking lineage.
