Hold onto your hats, wrestling fans, because Cody Rhodes, the newly crowned Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, might just be stirring the pot with some belt talk! That’s right, folks, the man’s got big dreams for that shiny gold, and it’s got the WWE Universe buzzing.
In a recent sit-down with the “Pat McAfee Show,” Rhodes strutted in with his championship belt, fresh off the victory lap, still rocking Roman Reigns’ side-plates like a souvenir. But here’s where it gets interesting, folks—Rhodes hinted at a possible makeover for the title, a blast from the past, if you will.
“Now, I’ve changed a title in the past,” Rhodes mused, reminiscing about his days of yore. “I’m not calling the shots anymore, not an EVP, just your friendly neighborhood champion. But wouldn’t it be something to see a certain championship, one that’s close to my heart…”
Cue the chants, folks! The audience erupted into a chorus of “winged eagle,” and Rhodes? Well, let’s just say he’s all in for that nostalgia trip.
“I might not be the one pulling the strings,” Rhodes clarified, “but you guys hit the nail on the head. The winged eagle, baby!”
But hey, before you start drafting those angry tweets, Rhodes wants you to know one thing: If the winged eagle belt doesn’t make a comeback anytime soon, don’t shoot the messenger! After all, he’s just along for the ride.
