The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes recently sat down with Justin Walker. When asked if he still intended to retire from in-ring competition when he turned 40, The American Nightmare confirmed that’s no longer the case due to him recently signing a new deal with the company that extends past his 40th birthday.
“I can tell you 40 is out of the question. Just because, and not to like give you scoop, it was widely reported, but I did sign a new contract with WWE,” Cody Rhodes confirmed. “And it extends beyond my 40th birthday. However, I will say that 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 as an old man wrestler.
“And he loved it; he enjoyed it, but as his son, it was hard to see. My daughter, she’s two going on three here shortly. There does have to be a time, just like he did with us, where I have to be home all the time and be there with her. So it’s not 40 anymore, but I’ll update the number. Plus, I hit this prime run late in the game. I often forget that I’m nearing 40, but yeah.”
Cody Rhodes is currently 38 years old. So, his new WWE contract will likely run for three years or more.
