Royals receive their WWE championship belt
I don’t need to remind anyone that the Royals will receive their World Series rings on April 5 before their game against the Mets.
The Royals got some bling over the weekend, too.
After they won the World Series, WWE star Triple H promised to send the team a championship belt:

It arrived in Surprise, Ariz., on Saturday and Eric Hosmer was happy to show it off (judging by the number of flame emoji, I’d say Hosmer liked it):
The New England Patriots got a belt last year:

The Chicago Blackhawks also have received on in the past:

The Royals also had a ceremony on Saturday in Surprise, Ariz., as the World Series trophy was brought out.
