While there has been recent discussion regarding a possible change to the current version of the WWE Championship, which prompted John Cena to call for a change to the belt and for WWE’s official website to publish an article calling for the old “winged eagle” style championship belt to return, nothing else has materialized as of writing.

There are currently NO plans to change the belt prior to WrestleMania 28 on April 1st, 2012 and a YouTube video that is currently making the rounds online claiming to have legitimate photos of the title is actually a fake version of a new WWE Championship belt.

It is interesting to note that the company have had a WWE championship belt in their warehouse since September of 2009, although of what it looks like is unknown. People within the WWE have been pushing for the company to make a change, however the main stumbling block is that the title itself is a big seller in WWE merchandise sales.
