Paper Champion a similar term to transitional champion, the name comes from the long strip of paper with a new champion's name printed on it, that is similarly colored to a championship belt to replace the former champion's nameplate. This can be either kept there in the interim while the new champion's nameplate is being engraved, or simply removed when a "transitional champion" loses the belt again to the former champion, saving the time and cost for a new nameplate engraving.
