Cody Rhodes Wants to Bring Back Winged Eagle WWE Title Back

Cody Rhodes wants to bring back the Winged Eagle WWE Title design. On WWE’s The Bump, Cody talked about how he has a pipe dream to bring back the Title design from his childhood.

It’s a dream that many wrestling fans his age would love to see realized. People have been clamouring for the design to return for years and Cody could be the right guy to do it. He already brought back the classic Intercontinental Champion design back in 2011. His family has a legacy in the business and that was the Title his father never won. It would make a ton of sense!

Cody had this to say:

“Through my youth the WWE that I was watching was really synonymous with the Winged Eagle. I think there is a lot of people who love the Winged Eagle design. Some people like the big eagle but the Winged Eagle was the one for me.

Today's design with the giant W is also incredibly special because it's this walking billboard for the promotion.

I don't want people to think I'm calling a shot, I don't want people to think I'm going into business for myself. The reality is I was able to change the Intercontinental Championship once before, which seemed absurd.

If I'm able to get to the finish line, biggest WrestleMania of all time, SoFi in Hollywood, if I'm able to get to the finish line and get my hands on these things that, like I said, that have alluded my family up until now... maybe it's just a pipe dream, maybe it's just a thought, a glimmer, but it would be fun to just say let's just boil them down and bring back the Winged Eagle. “

It's just a little pipe dream, I had the same pipe dream with the Intercontinental title and I was lucky enough to make that come to fruition so follow along, because this is where the fun begins.”

Would you like to see Cody’s pipe dream become reality? Hit me up on Twitter for more. That would be pretty sweet in my opinion!

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent
