Cody Rhodes to Showcase “Winged Eagle” Title at SNME? – The iconic “Winged Eagle” design of the WWE Championship appears to be making a special one-night return. According to WrestleVotes, Cody Rhodes is expected to carry the classic belt during this weekend’s edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.
The report teased a memorable moment, stating, “Cody Rhodes walking out on NBC during Saturday Night’s Main Event with the classic ‘winged eagle’ WWE Championship should be a cinematic masterpiece—one that hits home for fans who grew up on the OG SNME.”
Earlier today, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H presented Cody Rhodes with what is believed to be the old-school Winged Eagle Championship belt. This gesture is tied to Rhodes’ upcoming title defense against Kevin Owens, adding a nostalgic touch to the highly anticipated show.
The December 14 episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event aims to embrace the retro charm of the original 1980s series. The production, arena design, and overall atmosphere are set to reflect the classic shows, offering a nostalgic treat for longtime fans. Adding to the throwback appeal, Jesse Ventura, a commentator from the original series, has been confirmed for the broadcast. Reports also suggest that WWE has contacted multiple legends to make special appearances.
A promotional video released earlier today showed Triple H presenting the belt to Rhodes, styled as a homage to the mysterious glowing briefcase scene from Pulp Fiction. The WWE Winged Eagle Title originally debuted in 1988 and remained in use until 1998, when it was replaced during the rise of the Attitude Era.
Fans are eagerly anticipating how this nostalgic presentation will unfold in Cody’s title defense.
