The Cleveland Cavaliers are NBA Champions and WWE is now taking notice.
Former wrestler and WWE executive Triple H tweeted out a custom WWE Heavyweight Championship belt to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The belt is sweet and expensive looking. Cavaliers players should feel like true champions with it around their waist.
An unprecedented comeback and a long overdue @NBA Championship… THAT is something to celebrate. Congrats @cavs! pic.twitter.com/dPmnnR6mP3

The belt should work as a suitable replacement for the one the Cavaliers have kept around following the championship victory. Cleveland players have been spotted holding and wearing a replica ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin Smoking Skull belt. While that belt is iconic, it’s no match for the custom beauty that Triple H will be sending the team.

The Cavaliers have fully embraced the WWE champion mindset, as multiple players have dawned wrestling attire during post-game celebrations. Kevin Love wore an Austin 3:16 shirt following the title win.

Finals MVP LeBron James sported an awesome Ultimate Warrior shirt upon arriving in Cleveland to celebrate. Bonus points for the Kermit sipping tea meme hat. It’s a wonderful style combination.

Cleveland are the champions and through their replica title belt and the multiple references to iconic wrestlers on their t-shirt, they’re going full WWE and showing off. Now, with an actual WWE Championship Belt, they can take things one step further. It’s awesome. I can’t wait to see who wears the belt first.
