HHMM, here's something interesting.

Yesterday, the official Facebook page of the Florence Civic Center in Florence, SC posted the following promotional photo to help push WWE's return to the arena on 1/20/18 for a Smackdown live event:
 
The following comes from PWInsider.
As you can see, that would be a new, different WWE United States championship belt design for Baron Corbin.  As of last night's Smackdown Live broadcast, that design had not been introduced by WWE.  It should be interesting to see if and when it will be.
UPDATE 12:41 AM: Several PWInsider.com readers who are belt aficionados, including Eric Walker, sent word that the title belt design seen in the artwork actually popped up online last year.  Eric noted that the belt design has been traced to a bootleg version of the U.S. title created in Pakistan.  If that is indeed the case, the question that now arises is how that version of the belt ended up on official WWE artwork posted by a WWE venue's Facebook page?
