Cody Rhodes discusses retirement plans and new WWE contract

WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes has revealed that his recently signed five-year contract will be his last with the company. During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Rhodes estimated that his remaining time in the ring could span approximately six to seven years, noting that he does not wish to overstay his welcome or compete into his fifties.

Rhodes also addressed his recent physical struggles, admitting that an orbital fracture sustained during a match against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42 has hindered his performance by affecting his peripheral vision. He expressed frustration with his own tendency to work through injuries, describing his approach as “toxic” while advising younger wrestlers to prioritize their long-term health.

Additionally, Rhodes touched upon his career motivations, stating that his work ethic is a result of his mother’s influence rather than pressure from his late father, Dusty Rhodes. He also commented on the possibility of a future singles match against The Rock, suggesting that while he cannot confirm any plans, he believes The Rock may still have a few matches left in him.
