Wrestling superstar, Cody Rhodes has openly shared his plans to bring back the iconic “Winged Eagle” WWE Championship. This intention was announced to the world after his victory of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the 40th edition of WrestleMania.
Rhodes spoke about his plans during an exclusive interview with GQ magazine. In this conversation, he set forth his goal to reestablish the legendary title in a way that it harmonizes with the current design, without upsetting the balance.
Points of interest from this interaction are outlined below:
When asked about his views on the existing title design, Rhodes declared: “One aspect of the title that I particularly enjoy is the fact that it has evolved away from being a name plate and is now all about individual side plates. In addition, this title stands as a unique representation of the current generation’s accomplishments.”
Discussing his intentions for the revival of the Winged Eagle title, he stated, “I have a fondness for the Winged Eagle which is an iconic title from the 1990s. It was held by legends such as Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, and Bret Hart. I’m presently devising a way to reintegrate that into the WWE universe. But at the same time, this is also the title that was proudly worn by Roman Reigns before I triumphed over him. There’s something about the present title that binds me even more to the aesthetics of a WWE championship.”
