I was wondering, the night after WMXIV they changed the Winged Eagle belt to the Attitude belt, right?
Well then how come during the Austin-Zamboni segment, in the glass case is the Winged Eagle belt? (so basically how did they go back to that belt for however long it was there?)

I dont think it was ever explained. They might have had a new title being made (i think the attitude era title had some sharp points on it) I marked though when I saw the winged eagle again

when the attitude title returned round SvS it had the block logo replaced so it might of been in the process of being made so they had to use the old title.

Oh man I marked out when I saw the Winged Eagle belt in the case.
But yeah it was never explained and I believe it returned for that one night. The original WWF Attitude Belt (the one Austin received on RAW after WM XIV) hadn't been used for a few months as Austin had his Rattlesnake WWF Belt since July (?).
But when the Attitude belt returned at Survivor Series, it had a black, not blue strap. Plus the block WWF logo was changed to the "scratched" WWF logo if I'm correct.

Strangest thing about the original attitude belt is that the strap was blue.

Strangest thing about the original attitude belt is that the strap was blue. I dont think it was really that strange, they just wanted to give it a different feel IMO. The IC title the night after WM14 had a purple strap and new design and i think shortly after the Tag titles got the scratch WWF logo at the top |

The original Attitude Era/"Big Eagle" title belt was not as refined and the large center plate actually cut Austin while he wore it, so it was modified and a new version debuted in its place several months later.
As for why the Winged Eagle was on display, my only guess is that there were no extras of the Big Eagle to use and they had to resort to the old model, or it was something storyline-related where Vince wanted a respectable Heavyweight champion in his eyes (I honestly don't remember why, so this is just me guessing).
Edit: It's not credible at all, but here's one YouTube commenter's opinion:

I had always heard that the Winged Eagle was on display because the new one needed some fixing, as stated by chicago. But maybe it was left after the PPV.
