Former two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion and current Tag Team Champion Cody Rhodes recently told Chad Dukes that he actually had to pay to have WWE bring back the classic Intercontinental Championship belt when he was the Champion:
"You have no idea how difficult that was to get the IC Title, the white IC Title, which Big E Langston is now our new Intercontinental Champion and that was such a cool thing for him, to see that and see it still around. It makes me feel happy because that was such a pain to get done. Not many people know this; I paid for the title to be recreated. I was refunded, heavily refunded, but I paid to show it to the man and say, “Listen, this will get a reaction, that you might not think it will and here’s why,” you know? And I’m very happy to see it still in existence."
