Shocking reports have been made available on the internet regarding this week’s episode of WWE Raw. In what could be surprising news for the WWE fans, the champions of the show was not carrying their original belts! As much as it is hard to believe this might be true as pictures from the show turned out to evidence.

This week marked the go-home episodes of WWE Raw for the Royal Rumble PPV. We saw final hype ups around Sunday Night which were expected. Both the title-holders graced the show to take the championship storylines forward. They did carry the belts with them but unfortunately, those were not the original ones.
I had to rewatch Monday Night Raw and I couldn’t help but notice that something was off with Brock Lesnar’s belt. Hmm ? oh it’s a replica ? pic.twitter.com/hzLa6AinJY

As reported by PWInsider.com, both Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar did not carry their respective belts. So we did not get to see the WWE Raw women’s Championship and the Universal Championship. This comes as an action that is not champion-like for sure. We thank wrestlingINC.com for the close-up shots of the championships.
As you can see in the given pictures, Brock Lesnar was surely carrying a replica belt. The custom plates on the title were clearly missing from the championship from the close-up look. Now the original title does stay with the champions which indicate that both of them forgot to carry the belts on WWE Raw from home. So WWE had to hand over a replica belt.

Brock Lesnar was in a physical altercation with his Royal Rumble challenger, Finn Balor. He digested some of the quick-fire moves from Balor that was supposed to give the upper hand to him. However, the beast backfired with a devastating F-5 to put him down and let everyone why he still is the king of the jungle.
Ronda Rousey, on the other hand, teamed up on WWE Raw main event with Natalya. They took on the team of Sasha Banks and Bayley to come up short. Banks picked up the win on behalf of her team via submission locking in the Bank Statement on Natalya. It was for the first time ever that Ronda Rousey ended up in a losing side of a match.
As you already know, both of the championships will be on the line at Royal Rumble PPV. Currently, both the champions are clear favorites to retain since WWE may have already booked them in the biggest event of the year, Wrestlemania 35.
