Ahead of his fatal four-way defense at the Worlds Collide event, Triple H and William Regal awarded Angel Garza with a brand new version of the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. The title’s name had been shifted over to the NXT brand right around the time the show jumped to the USA Network, and cruiserweights have been getting more time on the Black and Gold Brand ever sense. The new title’s design is noticeably similar to the original purple belt, though the title strap is now black and the plates have a noticeably darker shade of silver. The new design actually looks quite similar to various fan art renderings online from people who have wanted to ditch the purple look
