In late 2023, reports surfaced that WWE was looking to re-sign Cody Rhodes to a multi-year contract. During an interview with Justin Walker, Cody commented on his contract status with WWE when asked about retirement plans…
“I can tell you that turning 40 is out of the question, just because, not to give you the scoop, this was widely reported, but I did sign a new contract with WWE. It lasts until after my 40th birthday .
The plan is still to get out when it’s time to get out, and not to make it a painful process.Just because I saw my dad [Dusty Rhodes] As an old man wrestler, he loved it and enjoyed it, but as his son, it was hard to watch. My daughter is two, almost three, and there are definitely periods of time where I have to be at home with her as much as he is with us. I am no longer 40 years old. I will update the number. I hit my groove late in the race. I often forget that I am almost 40 years old. “
Cody, 38, plans to challenge Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 40 for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
