Cody Rhodes Shocks WWE Fans—Reveals His Final Contract Is Coming!
Cody Rhodes just sent the wrestling world buzzing. The Undisputed WWE Champion has confirmed that his next WWE contract will be his last. Yes—Cody is already planning his exit from the ring.
Appearing on All The Smoke, the 40-year-old star opened up about life, family, and how long he plans to stay in the game. Even though he’s still performing at an elite level, Cody made it clear that he wants to walk away while he’s healthy and while his kids are growing up—not when it’s too late.
According to Cody, everything changed when he looked back at his father, Dusty Rhodes. Dusty wasn’t just “The American Dream”—he was a full-time dad, coaching football and being present at every game. That’s the life Cody wants too.
“There’s only so much you can do… I’d like to make it so that by the time they hit that age, I’m not gone that often.”
He wants to be home. He wants to be active. And he wants to finish his career in WWE—the company he believes made him and welcomed him back.
“The next contract I sign will probably be my last — and I’ll finish my days with WWE.”
Balancing a demanding WWE schedule with family life has been tough, and Cody admits it isn’t easy—but the choice is becoming clearer every day.
For fans, the message is simple: appreciate every second of Cody’s current run. The American Nightmare is building toward his final chapter, and it’s closer than most expected.
Will Cody leave on top as champion? Will he chase one more legendary moment? Or could retirement come sooner than anyone thinks?
The countdown has already begun.
