The IWGP championship belt is the best belt in wrestling now but the very first version looked like a bedazzled dinner plate and I've always loved it.



which I only ever found out about when people discussed it after some assholes tried to usurp the UFC by creating their own MMA organizational body with its own ultraprestigious championship that most definitely was not made for ten dollars

Someone should dig through match results and figure out who the Lineal WWE Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Champion currently is. Could be fun and you might get a cultural ambassador job offer from MBS.

If you subscribe to the only-TV-counts theory, it's kind of murky:
Owens beats Braun at Extreme Rules
Braun wins it back at Summerslam
Brock beats Braun at Crown Jewel
Seth wins it from Brock at Wrestlemania
Brock wins it back at Extreme Rules
Seth wins it back at Summerslam
Bray beats Seth at Crown Jewel 2019
Goldberg beats Bray at Super Showdown 2020
Braun beats Goldberg at Wrestlemania Pandemic Edition

So it comes down to how you grade the WYATT FAMILY SWAMP FIGHT, if that was a match and Bray won then it's Bray, if not it's Braun but the title is very damp.

But you should count house shows, because that's way funnier:
Kevin Owens won it off Braun Strowman in their cage match at Extreme Rules, 7/15/2018
Bray Wyatt wins it off Kevin Owens at a house show, 7/28/2018
Bobby Roode pinned Bray Wyatt at a house show, 9/1/2018
Ascension Konnor pinned Bobby Roode on Monday Night Raw, 10/1/2018

Konnor defended the belt once against Rhyno on Main Event two weeks later and has not had a singles match in the going on two years since, so he is the reigning, undefeated international crime champion.
