Cody Rhodes: People Will Say The WWE Title Is A Walking Billboard, But It’s The One Connected To The Wrestlers

Cody Rhodes speaks about the WWE Championship.

Since returning to WWE in 2022, Cody Rhodes has won the WWE Title three times.

Speaking on the Double Coverage Podcast, Cody Rhodes talked about his favorite title in wrestling.

“My number one, and this is going to be, everyone’s going to go, ‘Ah!,’ I think it’s such a corporate answer, it’s the one I won. It’s the WWE Championship.”

He said in 10 years, when fans talk about their favorite title, the WWE Championship will be what they talk about.

“In 10 years, complain all you want, when these kids are talking about that’s my favorite title, it’s because it’s the one that they had. It’s the one they grew up with. You see these merch reports at the end of the night, people love those little, the old school little Velcro belts. It’s always the WWE title, always the big dub. People will say, ‘Oh, it’s a walking billboard.’ Yeah but it’s also connected to people. It’s connected to John Cena. It’s connected to Roman Reigns. It’s connected to me. I love that. I think time will tell that it’s a winner.” 

He then used the spinner belt as an example.

“The spinner is a great example. The spinner, at the time, I don’t know if you remember the spinner was heavily panned and it was criticized. Today when I did this big title presentation, I remember people, ‘Oh, thank gosh, he has the spinner.’ They should do it for the spinner. Where were you guys?”
