WWE Hall of Famer, 14-time World Champion and WWE Executive Vice President Paul "Triple H" Levesque announced the custom WWE Championship Title on social media last month.

England all-rounder Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler helped their team with both of them scoring half-century each while Jofra Archer helped them defeat 15 runs in the super-over.


 

England cricketers Jason Roy, Joe Root, Jos Buttler and Jofra Archer took turns to pose with the iconic belt before the start of their training at Lord’s cricket ground where they won the final.
