Cody Rhodes isn’t going to change his wording.
Cody is an old school kind of guy and likes to use the wording used by his dad, Dusty Rhodes regarding the industry. Rhodes is currently rehabbing a torn pectoral injury and isn’t expected back till 2023.
During San Diego Comic Con, new figures and titles were revealed, with the speaker mentioning “new championships” to which Cody said the speaker could say belts before Rhodes made a joke about paying a fine so he can say it:
They can fine me $1,000 every time I say belts. I’m fine with that. If they give me a title belt, sure it’s a championship, but it also physically goes around your waist. Those are great belts.”

Time will tell how this kind of thing will change now that Vince McMahon has retired.
