New report adds a timeline to his renewed WWE commitment
Summary
– Cody Rhodes has reportedly signed a five-year contract extension with WWE
– The New York Times reported the term after Rhodes confirmed he had re-signed
– Rhodes says he plans to finish his wrestling career with WWE while pursuing outside projects
Cody Rhodes’ latest WWE agreement is reportedly a five-year extension, adding a significant detail to the renewal he recently announced.
The contract term was reported in The New York Times’ feature on Rhodes, Roman Reigns and Street Fighter. Rhodes had confirmed that he had re-signed during an appearance on Flagrant, but did not disclose the length of the agreement in that conversation.
His comments focused on where he sees his career ending. Rhodes said he intends to finish wrestling with WWE, while explaining that remaining with the company also leaves room for acting and other work.
That flexibility matters as he promotes Street Fighter, in which he plays Guile. He described being able to coordinate outside projects with WWE, take time away when needed and return to the company afterward.
The reported five-year term gives more context to that commitment, but it should not be treated as an exact retirement date. Rhodes’ stated intention to end his career with WWE does not establish when his final match will take place.
For now, the agreement points to a continued relationship with WWE as he balances wrestling with opportunities beyond the ring.
