LeBron James gets a WWE championship belt from The Rock
LeBron James got hold of another championship, this time without the help of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and the rest of the Miami Heat.
James got his wish as he got a real World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) championship belt from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The two-time NBA champion posted a video on Instagram with him saying The Rock's popular catchphrase and doing the People's Eyebrow.
In the caption, James went on to thank The Rock and showed the world he was a huge wrestling fan and was once a wrestler wannabe.
Special thanks to @therock for making my childhood dream come true! U have no idea how many couches and old mattresses I jumped off thinking I was one of y’all! U, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Legion of Doom, Goldberg and The Undertaker I could watch all day plus many more! I feel like a little kid again. Thanks again Champ! #CanUSmell #StriveForGreatness
Late last year, James tweeted that he wanted a belt. Knowing that there are replica belts for sale everywhere, the reigning NBA Finals MVP clarified that he wanted a real one.

WWE superstar John Cena replied t James by posting a video. Hey LeBron James, this is WWE Superstar John Cena," he said. "It's cold, I'm in the middle of nowhere, but I can still get you a WWE Championship. Tweet me back and I'll handle it."
However, Cena never got a reply from James because The Rock was a step ahead.

The Rock won this title back in January of 2012 against CM Punk but he later lost it to Cena after a 70-day title reign.
