Cody Rhodes On Winged Eagle Title
Speaking with GQ Sports in August, Cody Rhodes made it clear that he was trying to find a way to bring the Winged Eagle Title back. He highlighted the legacy of the title. Rhodes then noted that he was linked to the new championship.
“I am fond of the Winged Eagle, which is the title from the 1990s,” he said. “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. There’s a part of that that makes me more linked to this look and this aesthetic for a WWE Championship than ever.”
