WWE has a long history of sending championship teams and players a custom WWE Championship, though this appears to be a replica title that Coco, or someone else, had on hand following her victory.
Members of the Denver Nuggets and Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their NBA Finals and Super Bowl victories with a WWE Championship.
WWE recently partnered with NFL to release Legacy championship for all NFL teams.
