The 2024 Big 12 Championship Game wasn’t just about football—it became a WWE-style spectacle thanks to the surprise appearance of Superstars Jey Uso and Sami Zayn.
Held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the game ended with Arizona State dominating Iowa State, 45-19, to claim the championship. But the real highlight came after the final whistle, when Jey and Sami presented Arizona State with a custom Big 12 Championship belt, taking the celebration to a whole new level.
WWE’s involvement in college football has reached a new peak with their custom championship belts, available for college teams on WWE Shop. The Arizona State players received one of these belts as part of their title celebration, a gesture that added a touch of WWE’s signature flair to the victory. Fans are already calling the collaboration a perfect match, blending the worlds of sports and entertainment seamlessly.
Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo, who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Game after rushing for 170 yards and scoring two touchdowns, proudly posed with the championship belt alongside his teammates. It was a moment that showcased the intersection of football dominance and WWE showmanship, giving fans of both worlds something to cheer about.
During the game, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn didn’t hold back from making their presence felt. From hyping the crowd with their signature “YEET!” chants to a hilarious interaction with the Arizona State marching band, the duo brought WWE energy to the college football field. Sami even shared a Twitter video of a drummer yelling “WOOOOO!” at the camera, followed by Jey’s comedic reaction: “God damn, send me that sh*t. Send me that dawg.”
While the players celebrated their victory and WWE’s custom belt took center stage, it’s clear the partnership between WWE and college football has become a fan-favorite trend. The championship belts, designed to mirror those held by WWE Superstars, are a must-have for any die-hard sports fan looking to showcase team pride with a wrestling twist.
