Cody Rhodes hasn’t given up on bringing the Winged Eagle Championship back to WWE.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes recently sat down with GQ Sports. While discussing the current WWE Championship, Rhodes spoke about what he likes about the current title while admitting he’s still actively trying to bring back the Winged Eagle Championship from the 1990s.
“I’d say one of the things I like about the title a lot is it’s not a nameplate,” Cody Rhodes said. “Now, it’s all about your individual side plates. I also love that this title is specifically this generation’s title. I am fond of the Winged Eagle, which is the title from the 1990s.
“Hulk Hogan wore it, Ultimate Warrior wore it, Ric Flair wore it, Bret Hart wore it. And I am actively trying to find a way to get that into the WWE world, but this is also the title that was around Roman Reigns’ waist the night I beat him, and there’s a part of that that makes me more linked to this look and this aesthetic for a WWE Championship than ever.”
