Anyone think it’s like a copyright thing? Where they can’t use the same exact logo?

Luckily it's white on black so can be an easy fix. Either by decal or sharpie or paint.

It's the same with the new intercontinental belt that came with Shamrock not having the "World Wrestling Entertainment" name on the belt. 😔 That’s been a thing for a long time. The only VAC oval IC with that on it was the first one with Drew McIntyre |

Would never have noticed and still don’t care. Its standing on a shelf within my collection. Anyone/guest/ family who would ever see it would never notice either

Because the company name is actually orphaned initials, they don’t refer to themselves as World Wrestling Entertainment anymore but only as WWE, and they’re real weird about their branding. It’s the same reason the scratch logo was taken off the European belt after they changed logos in 2014 |

Does any of the older style belts have World Wrestling Entertainment on it still? |

Vince has hated the word "wrestling" (even though he has owned/ran a wrestling company since the 80s) ever since Ted Turner called him up and said he going into the rasslin' business, and Vince told him that was fine because Vince was in the "entertainment" business. You know the story, it's been told a million times.
