Cody Rhodes Still 'Actively Trying' To Bring Back The Winged Eagle WWE Title

Cody Rhodes finally finished the story at WrestleMania XL, defeating Roman Reigns to become the Undisputed WWE Champion.

Before lifting the title, Rhodes made no secret of his desire to bring back the classic ‘Winged Eagle’ version of the WWE Championship, but so far no belt for ‘The American Nightmare’. However, Rhodes still wants to try and bring the classic belt back in some way shape or form, saying the following to GQ Sports:

“One of the things I like about the title a lot is… it’s not a name plate, now it’s all about your individual side plates. I also love that this title is specifically this generation’s title [the current Gold championship]. 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 [the gold belt] 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,” said Rhodes.
