New Belt Day: WWE Cruiserweight Championship Replica

After all the hard work, I’m officially under 205lbs and celebrating with the epic WWE Cruiserweight Championship belt!

Official Cruiserweight and Light-Heavyweight replicas have been hard to come by and I wanted to get something to commemorate dropping down the lightest I have ever been in my adult life.

This title is actually much nicer in person – there are so many cool details you can’t see on TV. However, there are a few minor paint scuffs that make me question the WWE Euro-Shop’s quality control.

Join me for an UNBOXING and close look at the belt’s design and a little self-celebration!
