[tps_title]The “Winged Eagle” Belt[/tps_title]
The “Winged Eagle” championship belt (pictured right) is far and away the most popular WWE Championship title design among fans. Hulk Hogan introduced the design at the end of his first championship reign in 1988, and it was the primary design of the championship for the next decade.
After Stone Cold Steve Austin became champion in 1998, he was presented with a new similarly designed title (pictured left), which fans have dubbed the “Big Eagle” belt.
