How Much Did The New WWE Title Cost to Develop?

WWE.com has posted a new article taking a look at the creation of the new WWE Title, who created it, and how much the entire project cost. The article notes that $50,000 went into the development of the new title, and Senior Vice President of Creative, Stan Stanski, had the following to say:

"Our idea was never to take a step back or do something predictable or expected. We wanted to evolve the brand and create something that’s never been done before. You don’t always know what a traditional title might represent. We wanted you to know immediately that this was the WWE Championship."
