What is actually inside a WWE belt?

#3 Cork:

The cork mat lies beneath the outer leather strap.

For those of you wondering what a bottle-stopper has got to do with a WWE belt, take note that ‘cork’ in this context merely refers to the bottle-stopper cork’s parent material, that’s a light-brown mat derived from the bark of a cork oak tree.

As you may have noticed in the video, the brown mat-like material that appears similar to a piece of cardboard, is the third layer of our belt, with the texture of a tree-trunk. Given the fact that the cork material looks sleek and legitimate, one has to wonder how much it’d cost (PS- A cylindrical cork used in wine bottles, generally costs upwards of 1 Euro.).
