Video: Yankees Legend Derek Jeter Gifted Custom WWE Title Belt at Fanatics Fest

New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter is the latest sports icon to get a custom-made championship belt from WWE.

At the inaugural Fanatics Fest in New York City, The Captain received a WWE title decked out with the Yankees logo and colors.

Jeter is one of several stars from various sports leagues and organizations taking part in the event. WWE will also have a big presence with superstars like Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley and CM Punk in New York for the event.

WWE has partnered with the NFL, MLB, college football and NHL in recent years to officially license legacy title belts.

Triple H began the tradition of sending custom title belts to teams when they would win a championship in 2013 when the Boston Red Sox won the World Series. It immediately caught on and became a tradition that has continued for 11 years.

If you want to get a Yankees-specific title belt over in New York, there are few athletes you could give it to that would generate more buzz than Jeter. The 14-time All-Star is one of the most beloved athletes in New York sports history.

Jeter spent his entire 20-year playing career with the Yankees. He is the franchise's all-time leader with 3,465 hits and won five World Series titles.

The Yankees retired Jeter's No. 2 in 2017. He is one of 22 players in franchise history have their jersey number retired.
