We reported earlier this week (via TMZ) that WWE is taking aggressive measures to prevent bootleggers from selling fraudulent WWE merchandise during WrestleMania weekend in New Orleans.
WWE filed legal documents in Louisiana this week trying to get a temporary restraining order to ban bootleggers from selling unauthorized merchandise outside the Mercedes Benz Superdome and the Smoothie King Center.
WWE submitted several merchandise designs and trademarks – and one of the documents includes a photo of the yet-to-be-announced WWE Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships. WWE is expected to introduce the new Cruiserweight tag team titles after WrestleMania 34.

Earlier this month, championship belt aficionado Belt Fan Dan confirmed that this design circulating online was legitimate.
