Toronto Raptors get custom championship title belt from WWE
The modern stages of championship celebrations across all sports go something like this:
Final buzzer ends the game
Confetti falls
Special hats and t-shirts get passed around
MVP awarded
Trophy presented
Champagne shower
Press conference
Replica WWE title belt
With all the previous boxes checked, the 2019 NBA Champion Toronto Raptors got a glimpse at a fully wearable crown jewel of a gift to cap their incredible season.
Congrats to @Klow7, @Kawhileonard and the entire @Raptors organization on bringing their first @NBA title to Toronto! Can’t wait to celebrate with all of you @SummerSlam, August 11 @ScotiabankArena. Until then, enjoy this @WWE Championship! #WeTheNorth pic.twitter.com/ZFtD76gXa2

With the fully custom side plates and everything.
That is, of course, just a photo for now, but World Wrestling Entertainment usually makes good on its title presentations.
The Boston Red Sox had theirs in tow in time for the World Series championship parade in November, and the safe money is on the Raptors having theirs ready and worn proudly, passed around to the shoulders of many, many members of the team by the time Monday’s party in the street kicks off.
