Cody Rhodes has been an active in ring performer for decades now and he’s held a number of prestigious wrestling championships throughout the course of his career. The American Nightmare has also made it clear that he has a deep love for wrestling history.
While talking about his favorite belts on the Double Coverage podcast, Cody praised the Big Gold belt, Winged Eagle, NWA TV Title and Intercontinental Title. However, Cody made it clear that there’s one belt that sits at the top in his opinion as he explained why the current WWE Championship belt is his favorite.
“So to me, my number one — and everyone’s going to go, ‘Ah!’ And they’ll think it’s such a a corporate answer: it’s the one I won. It’s the WWE Championship. Also too, in 10 years — complain all you want, in 10 years 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 know, you see these merch reports at the end of the night, people love the old school little Velcro belts and it’s always the WWE Title. Always the Big Dub. And I get it’s a big — you know, people say, ‘Oh, it’s a walking billboard.’ Yeah, but it’s also it’s connected to people. It’s connected to John Cena; it’s connected to Roman Reigns. It’s connected to me, it’s connected. And I love that — I think time will tell that it’s a winner.”
Cody picked up a major win over Randy Orton a few days ago when he defeated The Viper in a Last Man Standing match. Now it seems that Cody Rhodes has his sights set on other things as he has declared that he would like to join Team USA for the Team USA vs. Team Mexico match at Survivor Series. So far Rey Mysterio is the only competitor that has been officially confirmed for the match.
