Cody Rhodes hasn’t given up on the idea of reviving the Winged Eagle Championship.
The possibility of bringing back the iconic design was first hinted at in February 2023 when Rhodes posted a photo of the Winged Eagle WWF Championship on Instagram.
He had previously expressed his desire to see the title return during an appearance on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions.
Rhodes might be the one to make it happen, especially considering he successfully reintroduced the classic Intercontinental Title design during his initial WWE tenure.
In a recent interview with GQ, Rhodes mentioned that he is still actively working on finding a way to bring back the Winged Eagle design.
Here’s what The American Nightmare said:
“I’d say one of the things I like about the title a lot is it’s not a nameplate. 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.
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 is a part of that that makes me more linked to this look and this aesthetic for a WWE Championship than ever.”
