Cody Rhodes addressed his wrestling future during a Wednesday appearance on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike, saying that the next WWE contract he signs will be his last.
“I don’t quite have an exact end date in mind like I used to, but I do know that whatever the next deal is that I sign with WWE, that next deal will be the last.Wrestling’s so unique in terms of it’s hard to determine your time. Especially in 2026, with the level of athlete that you can grow to be. Look at what Brock Lesnar is doing currently at this level, he’s in peak form. Roman, older, peak form. Punk, Punk is the best he’s ever been. So age is really not what it used to be in the industry.”
Rhodes will be facing off against Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans and LA Knight in the men’s Elimination Chamber match on Saturday, February 28 to determine who faces Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
