Author's take
WWE and its Superstars have often tried to associate themselves with sports teams. They have always managed to mention and congratulate NFL players on winning the big one. Of late, the WWE has also sought to strengthen its ties with other sporting giants outside the United States. Recently, WWE sent out a custom WWE Championship title to Chelsea and John Terry for winning the English Premier League. Triple H also sent out a tweet congratulating the Mumbai Indians on winning the Indian Premier League last Sunday.
