WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event is just days away, and it’s already shaping up to be a can’t-miss spectacle. Four championship matches, including Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens, have fans buzzing. But leave it to Triple H to drop a tease so tantalizing it might just overshadow the entire card.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday afternoon, Triple H posted a cryptic video featuring a conversation with Rhodes. The video began with a highlight reel of Saturday Night’s Main Event classics, showcasing its retro vibe. Then came the kicker: Triple H presented Rhodes with a mysterious case, cryptically stating it was “for one night only.”
In a moment straight out of Pulp Fiction, Rhodes opened the case to reveal an unseen object bathed in a golden glow. His reaction—a knowing grin—was all fans needed to spiral into speculation.
The Case for the Winged Eagle
The leading theory? The case holds the winged eagle WWE Championship, the iconic design beloved by fans of the ’80s and ’90s. Rumors of its return gained traction after Fightful Select reported discussions between Rhodes and WWE regarding the belt. Rhodes has been vocal about his desire to bring back the design, even campaigning for it shortly after his WrestleMania win and again in August.
For those keeping score, Rhodes has a history of reviving beloved title designs. Remember his first WWE run when he brought back the classic Intercontinental Championship? If anyone’s going to reintroduce the winged eagle, it’s him.
One Night, Endless Possibilities
The “one night only” tagline has fans buzzing. Is this a brief nostalgic gesture, or could it mark the beginning of a larger storyline? Whatever’s inside that case, it’s bound to elevate the Saturday Night’s Main Event to historic levels.
