Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
• Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has shared plans for his future beyond wrestling, revealing aspirations for an acting career.
Speaking on the “2 Bears, 1 Cave” podcast, the 39-year-old fan favorite said he intends to remain active in WWE until age 45, after which he plans to transition to a part-time schedule to explore storytelling in a new medium.
Rhodes expressed his passion for acting, saying, “I’d absolutely love to do it,” while reaffirming his commitment to wrestling as his top priority for now.
He described his current role in WWE as the pinnacle of his career, likening it to being a team’s quarterback, and acknowledged he can’t sustain his current level of performance indefinitely.
Here’s what Rhodes said:
“I would love to tell stories like we do in the ring in a different fashion. I’d absolutely love to do it. But I’ve always been so linked into wrestling and coming back to WWE, where winning the championship for WWE is essentially like being the quarterback of the team.
It’s been the most fun and rewarding time I’ve ever had in my career, but I can definitely see; I don’t think I’d be able to do it on this level forever.”
