Triple H and WWE Sends a Special Gift to Las Vegas Aces After Becoming the WNBA Champions

WWE is recognized all over the world because of its brand. One of the unique ways through which the sports entertainment giant promotes its product is by giving out customary title belts to various sports teams or athletes. In the past few years, WWE has gifted customary belts to the likes of Boston Red Sox, LeBron James, Tampa Bay Buccaneers among others. And now there is a new name on this list.

Las Vegas Aces beat the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA championship finals to win their first title on September 18.

Going into the fourth game of the seven-match series, the Aces overcame the Sun 78-71 to record a historic championship win. A few days later, keeping in with its tradition, WWE Head of Creative Triple H sent out a customary title belt to the WNBA Champions.

Las Vegas Aces’ win over Connecticut Sun was historic in more ways than one. They not only won their first WNBA championship, but it also became the first professional sports team from Las Vegas to win a major championship.

This championship win was also the first for one of the original WNBA’s eight franchises. The team began Utah Starzz in 1997 and then moved to San Antonio in 2003. After spending 14 years in San Antonio, they finally settled in Las Vegas before the 2018 season.

Aces will look at a big celebration following this huge win and the gift from WWE and Triple H will only add to their grandeur.

Why does WWE send customized belts to sports teams?

WWE’s tradition of sending custom-made championship belts to sports teams or athletes who win a championship began in 2013. David Ortiz of the Red Sox was the first recipient of the custom belt after his side won the World Series.

Since then, teams from NBA, NFL, and MLB have received such special titles from WWE. Belts were also given to the World Cup-winning US women’s soccer team.

This is more than a congratulatory gesture from WWE. It could also possibly be a wise marketing strategy. After WWE sends this belt, it is displayed on the team’s social media account and gives WWE more brand recognition.
