The belt, modeled after the one that the WWE's heavyweight champ receives, has a few custom tweaks. There are Penguins logos on the side with "2016 Stanley Cup Champions" under. So what did the Penguins do to deserve such an esteemed honor?
Well, a big part of their success was the HBK Line of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel. The trio took Pittsburgh by storm and also drew the connection to WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels a.k.a. "The Heartbreak Kid" or HBK for short. The nickname led to a relationship with Michaels, who showed up for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals to cheer the team on.
Triple H, of course, was Michaels' co-conspirator in Degeneration X, the stable of superstars that dominated the WWE in the late 1990s through the early 2000s. Obviously he appreciated the extra pub the HBK Line brought to his longtime pal and now retired WWE legend.
So there you have it, champions of the NHL and (in a very ring announcer-y voice) your new WORLD... HEAVVVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONS, the Pittsburgh..... PENGUINS.
