#4 Because of the actual environmental benefits
I know that Daniel Bryan is supposed to be a heel. But he makes a few very interesting points about the environment for sure. Everything he says is factually right but is rejected by the WWE Universe.
And therefore, a title belt made of organic hemp that is 100% sustainable, created from a fallen oak is a very novel idea indeed. It can even earn WWE brownie points with environmental activists and organisations who may see merit in a championship of this nature. While the crowd in attendance may boo it out of the building, others may completely dig it.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
One wonders if, in time, WWE will reject the idea of leather straps and actually make all their titles like this. Or if indeed, this will be a special title to commemorate Daniel Bryan's Championship reign.
