Roman Reigns and the Intercontinental Championship belt

#5 WWE Intercontinental Championship

wwe ic title — WWE Intercontinental Championship

In the long history of the Intercontinental Championship, the belt has had about seven designs, some with only slight alterations. The current design is an iteration of the second version, created not too long after the original one held by inaugural champion Pat Patterson.

It was held by greats throughout the 1980s and 1990s until the WWF released the third, oval version of the title in 1998.

That version of the belt spanned a long period of time until Cody Rhodes brought the white-strapped “old school” version of the belt back, and it has stuck around since. It’s a classic design.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
