Cody Rhodes Seeks Return of Winged Eagle Championship

Cody Rhodes remains dedicated to reintroducing the iconic Winged Eagle WWE Championship design, a title that symbolizes a nostalgic era for wrestling fans. Since hinting at this desire in February 2023, Rhodes has consistently expressed his fondness for the Winged Eagle, famously worn by legends like Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart. In recent interviews, including one with GQ, he acknowledged his growing appreciation for the current championship design, which he won after defeating Roman Reigns, but he continues to seek a way to bring back the classic title. Rhodes stated that the current title's design emphasizes individual side plates rather than a nameplate, which he finds appealing. As he prepares to headline WWE SummerSlam, the discussion around the Winged Eagle's return remains a hot topic among fans and commentators alike.
