Each championship belt is an officially licensed MLB product, meticulously crafted to embody the essence of each team with their official colors, logos, and branding.
Priced at $549.00, these belts showcase distinctive designs tailored to each team, with team-inspired side plates adding to their allure.
For fans seeking smaller versions, mini MLB-inspired title belts are offered for the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and St. Louis Cardinals, priced at $119.99.
Additionally, separate side plates can be purchased for select teams including the New York Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, and Cardinals, priced at $119.99 each.
This collaboration marks WWE’s continued expansion into the sports industry, following its successful licensing deal with the NFL in the previous year.
The NFL partnership, encompassing all 32 teams initially, saw the production of NFL-inspired championship belts, each bearing the team’s logo, colors, and branding.

These belts, also priced at $549.00, gained additional allure with autographed versions available for select teams, including signatures from renowned athletes like Stefon Diggs, Bryce Young, Garrett Wilson, and Tom Brady.
While the NFL collaboration was a resounding success, it’s evident that WWE is keen on furthering its partnerships in the sports world.
With the NBA and NHL playoffs looming, speculation is rife about potential collaborations to produce NBA-inspired and NHL-inspired championship belts, further enriching the fan experience across various sports realms.
As WWE continues to redefine the intersection of sports and entertainment, these collaborations underscore its commitment to providing fans with innovative and immersive experiences, uniting diverse fan bases under one thrilling spectacle.
