Cody Rhodes will be staying at WWE long after he attempts to finish his story.
The 38-year-old had previously said he’d like to retire from wrestling at 40, but it seems he’s changed his mind after signing a contract extension with WWE.
In an interview with Justin Walker, Rhodes confirmed that he’s signed a new WWE contract and it will keep him wrestling past his 40th birthday in June 2025.
“[The contract] extends beyond my 40th birthday,” Cody Rhodes shared. “The plan is still, when it’s time to step out, to step out without it being a painful process.
“Solely because I saw my dad [Dusty Rhodes] as an old man wrestler and he loved it and enjoyed it, but as his son, it was hard to see.
“My daughter is two going on three, there does have to be a time, just like he was with us, where I have to be home all the time and be there with her. It’s not 40 anymore,” he added.
“I’ll update the number. I hit this prime run late in the game. I often forget that I’m nearing 40.”
