Kevin Durant receives a very special gift from WWE CCO Triple H shortly after winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
WWE is known to give customized championship belts to athletes in other sports. The company has done this for football, basketball, and baseball stars in the past. This helps the company promote its product to a much larger audience. A similar event recently occurred when Triple H gave Kevin Durant a very special gift.
WWE recently took part in the Fanatics Fest in New York City from August 16–18. The event featured many famous celebrities and sportspeople, such as Tom Brady, who recreated the Hulk Hogan entrance at the show. The event also featured an appearance from Durant, who later met WWE President Nick Khan and Hunter backstage, who had a special present for the 35-year-old.
The Cerebral Assassin handed Kevin Durant a customized WWE Championship belt. The belt was comprised of a brown leather strap with white canvas and brown emblems. The center of the belt also featured a Texas Longhorns logo in white. The basketball legend said that he had always wanted one of those and posed with the belt on his shoulder.
Durant was part of the gold-winning basketball team at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which prompted this gift from the King of Kings. The basketball legend now looks to be on the verge of retirement. Triple H wanted to ensure that the 35-year-old could carry the Texas Longhorns legacy no matter where he went, and now he could do that literally with his own customized belt.
