WWE Superstars usually ensure that they have several different options when it comes to ring gear, since many are needed when touring with the company. It's touring that sometimes causes these stars issues since ring gear and championships have been misplaced over the years, which has forced many current and former stars to borrow gear from fellow wrestlers.
This is an issue that is still ongoing but was probably more common for superstars several years ago since luggage is believed to be much safer these days. Ring gear being stolen has also become a recent issue within the company since there have been reports that some items have gone missing which then causes some problems when the star in question needs to head out to the ring.
