In what has become a tradition for championship sports teams, Paul “Triple H” Levesque once again grabbed some headlines by sending custom replica WWE Championship belts to Premier League Champions Manchester City.
WWE.com posted the following article on the subject, which also includes tweets from Triple H and Manchester City with photos of the replica titles that were sent to this year’s championship team.
Triple H sends custom WWE Title to Premier League Champions Manchester City
It has been an unbelievable season for the Premier League’s Manchester City – with a few matches still to play, Manager Pep Guardiola’s squad has already secured the 2017/18 Premier League Championship and shattered longstanding records in the process. And today, the club added another accolade to its already-massive list of season accomplishments: Being awarded a custom WWE Championship by Triple H.
The Game posted his congratulations with images of the custom title earlier today, ahead of City’s match against Huddersfield in Etihad Stadium.
Most consecutive wins in a season. Fastest team to score 100 goals in a season.

Before the match at home, Man City gratefully acknowledged Triple H’s message, while several City players – including Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho Luiz Roza – posed proudly with the custom WWE Title.

The last time a WWE Title was awarded in Manchester occurred last November, when AJ Styles defeated Jinder Mahal for the championship on SmackDown LIVE.
Congratulations to the Blues on their third Premier League Title (and first WWE Championship).
