Custom Side Plates: The Ultimate Way to Personalize Your Wrestling Belt
Championship belts have always represented prestige, victory, and legacy in the world of wrestling. But in recent years, side plates have changed the game. No longer just a decorative detail, side plates have become the ultimate way to personalize a wrestling belt — allowing fans and champions alike to make each title their own.
From WWE’s interchangeable side plates to fully customized designs available for collectors, side plates have become a centerpiece of modern belt culture. In this blog, we’ll explore their history, purpose, and how you can create your very own custom side plates.
What Are Side Plates?
Side plates are the smaller plates mounted on either side of the main center plate of a championship belt. Traditionally, they displayed generic engravings or patterns, but in the modern era, they serve a new purpose: personalization.
In WWE, side plates can be swapped out to feature the logo or emblem of the current champion. This innovation has not only elevated the belt’s design but also given fans a chance to buy belts with customizable features.

The Rise of Custom Side Plates in WWE
The concept of custom side plates first gained traction in 2014, when WWE introduced belts with interchangeable side plates during the reign of The Rock. Since then, every WWE Champion has had unique side plates showcasing their personal logo or symbol.
From Roman Reigns’ iconic crest to John Cena’s “Never Give Up” emblem, these plates have become a way to cement a wrestler’s legacy. Collectors and fans quickly embraced the trend, making side plates one of the most popular wrestling belt accessories.
Why Fans Love Custom Side Plates
Side plates go beyond decoration — they tell a story. Here’s why fans around the world love customizing them:
- Personal Connection: Fans can engrave their own initials, logos, or phrases to feel like a true champion.
- Collector Value: Side plates associated with legends (e.g., Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Becky Lynch) become valuable keepsakes.
- Versatility: One belt can display countless side plate designs, allowing endless personalization.
