Mixed reactions from fans

Interestingly, fans have had mixed reactions towards the recent designs of the WWE Championship belt. While some have liked them, the others have been on the fence, wishing that WWE would go back to the old designs for the title belts. Most fans opine that when it comes to the belt designs, the Winged Eagle was one of the best. When The Fiend became the new Universal Champion, it was expected that some changes would be made to the belt design. However, changing the belt to blue has left many fans, and CM Punk underwhelmed.
