Kels right. It used to be that the former champ would hand his belt to the new champ so they could crown the new champ in the ring. After which, the belt would be made for the new champ (used to be about 2-3 weeks.. though they could probably do it now in few days with CNC machines, laster etching, etc.) Then when the new is presented to the champ, the old one was returned to the former.

They probably have a blank temp belt which they can sport for press and etc in the meantime, now a days.
